stu

[turbo-boy]

cheers stu, yea i love the colour owned it for 5 years most of the time its been in the garage got it with 55k on it

[therealnovaboy]

Nice to see an 8v turbo being done properly.

keep up the good work. :)

[Connor]

this project looks awesome. Loving the manifolds. This is going to be a cracker when she's finished

[Edd]

Awesome stuff mate, a proper job

What inlet set up is that? Individual throttle bodies?

Thinking of going that way with my 1300 turbo engine, much more power gain than using the standard inlet?

Edd

[scott.parker]

As above, more info needed on the engine mate, very interesting indeed.

Scott

[turbo-boy]

they are individual throlle bodies edd , and i made the boost box for them so i can run boost through them,there should be better power gains over the standard inlet

[Edd]

Cheers

Inlet box looks good

What make of boddies are they?

You going to be running the coolent system through the turbo or leaving it blanked off?

[turbo-boy]

Not Running coolant through the turbo, gsxr bodies with atlas fuel rail to suit .plan on Gettin water injection for it as well.have Omex 600 for it as well, I'm waiting ony 2.5 inch intercooler pipes coming for it so I can plumb up the I.C.

[craig green]

Nice motor, is that the tubular manifold & turbo that was for sale on here a while back? From Newcastle was it?

I like it anyway, I have some pics of the car from PV iirc, it stood out to me as I had a Kreg Nova at the time with YRF on the plate. I've had 2 smallblock 1600 turbo's also, so I like what are doing. I'll be watching.

[turbo-boy]

My reg is k817yrf if you no the car?? And yes got it off her about 2.5 years ago criag, what bhp you got out of your 1.6 turbo and what setup where u running and what injectors and turbo?

[gary_126]

Cool project, interested to see what figures the engine achieves.

[turbo-boy]

Aiming for 200bhp when everything is sorted
And run in and mapped

[walker-nova]

Looking well mate must get down a run. Small block FTW

[turbo-boy]

yes walker must get you down some time mot time will be soon put a different cluch in it yesterday and got the anto roll bar powdercoated, just need a nice we oil catch take to sit on the inner gaurd

[Edd]

What coilpack you going to be using with the Omex?

[simonm]

That inlet looks sweet what size body's are they I've a set of 45mm for my xe just have to get a mate to fabricate the manifold for me and figure out management then Top job tho keep the pics coming

[turbo-boy]

edd , eco tec one or i might go the whole hog and get one of omex not sure yet, as i want to keep upgrading my setup as time goes on sort of a hobbie to me,as in when its out on the road (which will only be the odd weekend when weather is good) i will still have plans for it,

simonm i think the bodys are 45,but my adapter to cylinder head to bodys is venturied

[turbo-boy]

New wastegate arrived today , it is fitted with 0.4 bar spring. Just need to fit it and make a dump tube straight down to the road for making A bit if noise.

[scott.parker]

Just a quick Question, so is the engine being turbo charged into one TB, or into the inlet box and then still use all individual TB's as if it was NA?

Either way mate, I'm sure that all intake boxes like that have to be tapered to make sure that the air flows correctly into the engine, i might be wrong?

Scott

[Iain]

Wideband looks good, is that the £150 one?

[bazil]

Scott it's to do with equal airflow over the 4 cylinders, there was a cracking thread a while ago but search can't find it,

Iirc the lad who was breaking the moonstone blue had a one off inlet made and it was in his thread,

Oh and subscribed to this thread :)

[turbo-boy]

Yea it's the £150 reduced from £200. Tapered runners are more for na engine helps with air flow, when engine is boasted it doesn't matter as much,

[turbo-boy]

Yes scot air Into box then 4 throttle bodies one for each cylinder, it would hav been easier just having one throttle body buy that the way I wanted to do means it will be a pain adjusting each butter fly if they each go out of adjustment

[turbo-boy]

new engine run for 5 mins on cheap mineral oil then its first oil change look what the megnetic sump bung caught lol

[Will F]

WTF?? Is that swarf? Looks like its picked up a whole piston!

[brucer]

whats the whole spec of the engine turboboy?

looking good, will be watching this

[turbo-boy]

This is Normal for rebuilt engine first 5 mins are the most important in my eyes all that swarf and cause the relief valve to slick in the oil pump causing total loose of oil pressure.
Spec is
New oil pump
New main and end bearings
Arp rod bolts
New piston rings
Lightened and balance crack, rods,pistons, flywheel
New valves and stem seals
Remote oil filter.
2 vauxhall head gaskets no spacer plate
Standard cam and head

[Bracey123]

What happend to this? Looks minted

[ward]

very interested in this...any updates??

[calibra-keith]

interesting, im doing an 16xe turbo on r1 carbs, hopefully the carbs/mani will be here this week, then i can look into the turbo side and plenum but im more stuck on management side at the moment.

[turbo-boy]

engine from this is now getting broken putting car back to standard
