Didn't see the times on the second page. Just had a go, 3 laps in I did a 58.560. I'll have a go at the 57 now.

Flip the intercooler upside down, it'll save on a couple of bends

I don't think the review worked right. Glad your enjoying the car though.

Great results Tom, If you get chance, could you do a quick review on the website, and maybe include a link to this thread. http://www.race-tech.net/index.php?main_pa...er_of_uploads=0

Think about which direction the flow is in an exhaust manifold.

Made in China like the rest of the crap turbo's on ebay, won't last long but it won't stop people trying them. I've got a contact to buy all this crap MUCH cheaper than what there on ebay for but refuse to sell something I know is going to fail in 2 weeks time.

Nice work on the weight saving. We are trying to get our civic sub 700kg's. (a bit more extereme) However, all the race batteries I saw were round about the 6kg mark, a normal small battery is around 7kgs. What is the CCA on the battery you've got? looks like a bike battery which surely won't be enough? Edit, just seen it says on the battery. I'd be very wary about using that.

I can't imagine any part of it being easy. Speaking/read/writing. It looks faaar too much hard work. I'd stick to something like American. Looks a bit easier

Our 300hp kit is no slouch, it will spool no slower on the road than the td04, with the right setup it'll spool earlier. At worse a couple of hundred RPM's later. I've fitted and mapped a Wepr Td04 "hybrid" not had anything to do with the Godzilla kit, but on paper it looks waay bigger than all the other options.

You won't have to forge to go over 1 bar. In fact every Td04 kit i've done runs over 1 bar. (stock engines) The engine doesn't make any difference to what a turbo will flow. The 5e will just make the power earlier in the RPM's than the 4e. Assuming everything else is equal.

Boost doesn't give you a set amount of power. It depends on the overall setup. 1.2 bar will without doubt flow more air than 1 bar. However the efficiency of the turbo will without doubt be lower. (more heat) This will shorten the life span of the turbo, by how much depends on the rest of your setup. I.e. If you have an inefficient setup, cam's, engine, map, exhaust, manifold, etc etc, more boost will probably net you more power. However if you have a high volumetric effifiency you'll make more power at a lower boost, so more boost will not net you more power. Add to this, the stock ECU i

We do both, our M/S is within budget, our stainless are just out of your budget. (but not by a lot). Regards Ricky

Not true, its only the piston to bore clearance that effects piston slap. Dan, Do you know your piston to bore clearance? If it goes away when hot it should be fine anyway.

We remove them from most cars to be honest. You can reuse it though, it just pulls out, i'd give it a clean as they soon get gunked up. Just check its working by blowing through it each way afterwards. Regards Ricky

Put 2 and 2 together, If Driver wasn't bugging me I wouldn't have forgot it Actually, its all my fault, Jamie got all the stuff ready and put it in 1 place and I didn't pick that elbow up as I forgot it went with it! Anyway have you recieved it yet?

Nice time! Has this car got our manifold on it? Whats the spool etc like? PM if you like. Needs an inlet as well now

Above times were at Shakespear and York. What terminal speeds are you doing?

We offer most standalone ECU's. DTA, emerald, solaris, etc etc.A dta S40/60 would probably be your best choice. Not cheap when comparing to Eman ultimates but far better.

Anti lag doesn't change your boos threshould. I.e. If a Td04 is going to spool at 4000rpm's its going to spool then regardless. You'd be better off spending money in the right area's. I.e. A better turbo than a TD04 which will spool earlier and make more power. But these obviously cost alot more. Regards Ricky

An engines only as strong as the weakest link. The mapper is the weakest link most of the time. We've made bigger kits than the Godzilla kit. The problem is actually engine flow rather than strength. The "limit everybody said for Honda B series was 300hp. Till we went over 400 with a bone stock engine

There are many things to consider to make this work. Unless you really need them i'd say stay with stock. Which are good for over 400hp, with the correct head work and cam's. Regards Ricky

Nice time, was this on a stock engine? What was the terminal speed? IIRC 1 of our customers did a 12.7 on a forged engine in a gt. Fastest glanza was a 13.0 on a stock engine. Road tyres and unprepped strip.

Every things relative. To be a billionaire (although I doubt he's from the UK if he's a billionaire to be honest) the car at 80k would be less than 0.001% of his fortune. Pretty much like a matchbox toy to the average person, so i'm sure you could forget about a new matchbox toy which you never played with. Maybe told your mate to buy it you then put it in the shed at the bottom of the garden.

Cheap chinese rubbish. Like most of the hybrids. They'll fail fairly quickly.

I hope it does, and hope its out soon, but I can see forza 5 been out before it!
