Bell intercooler and radiator cores

Sure bigger is better, but the where three times the width of my screen ....

Nigel sure you don't want some fancy BDE engine mounts for your engine - have I got a deal for you ... along with some very nice Speciality Z downpipes.

You going to run some methanol in your water?

That's great news (other than old age and senility setting in )

Your pics are massive though.

Dyno time must be near? I upped the ante a little bit.

No don't know.

Its always done it just a lot more pronounced the more boost we run.

OK got the turbos replaced and despite Dale's moaning and claims of injuries she started right up. Took to Lin at CDM - Mount Maunganui to get it redynoed/retuned. Note the only change was the turbos from GT2860RS with 0.64 A/R exhaust housings to GTX2860 Gen 2 also with 0.64 A/R exhaust housings. E...

Brand new never used - wont fit what I am doing with the Silver Zed and unfortunately did not fit the red Zed due to the custom wastegate actuator setup. My loss is your gain. According to Brett " BDE VG30/Z32 Low Profile Engine Mounts were designed from a clean sheet of paper. The OE cast aluminum ...

Brand new never used. These are not the cheap Chinese versions, but the US Made coned expansion versions, for the GT30 but should fit any 5 bolt turbo flange. According to Speciality Zed " The GT30 series turbos have boost creep issues with the dividers installed, we have tested multiple set ups wit...

Good news - bad news Badnews JWT sent the GTX turbos with the .64 A/R housings not the .82 grrr. We did not notice till they were mounted and we had modified them to fit dual port wastegate actuators. Good news car is running again. So off to the dyno for re-tuning, but that wont be till after the h...

Yes, but I did not want to go to E 85 the cost of changing injectors etc and the cost of all the extra fuel just makes no sense. Besides traction issues are going to be a problem anyway

Yeah right

Well last time I ignored my tuner who said "those turbos are probably maxxed" and I said nah turn up the boost - look what happened.

Yup especially regarding lag and when the boost comes on . Will do back to back dyno chart overlays. The turbos are rated at 200-475Hp each, so I assume that is (2 x turbos and 18% drivetrain loss and convert to kw) between 244rwkw and 580rwkw. Pretty sure it will be in that range :) LOL There is a ...

They finally arrived, bugger now my mechanic is on holiday. Oh well early Jan they will be fitted along with new BDE engine mounts and then off to the dyno again.

GTX2860 Gen II and I am going for the larger 0.82 exhaust housing this time - big enuf?

But maybe these might be just what it needs



They look like they will bolt right up.

While the engine is out you can put some proper Turbo's on it Ha Ha, Dale was pretty clear if it don't bolt up without modification I have to send them back. How does that happen Well, If you believe me tuner it is when the customer says turn the boost up and he says those turbos "canna take no mor...
