Mate to say I am jealous of all ure shiney parts is an understatement. That turbo kits amazing, I love ure roll cage and as for those seats--they should be kept in a glass cabinet away from any impurities as they are special !! Love this build. What sorta power u aiming for ?
Im pretty sure u will be stuck to a 55 profile or higher in a 14". Thats the trouble with them unfortunately. Might be a few rare ones u can get lower but will be hard compared to a 15". R888s used to be available, and may still be .
Been running an sportif gearbox on my circa 190 bhp for nearly year and half daily and has stayed fine. but would snapp that off of td04 hybrid as strongers always better.
Yeah I would opt for a remote piece if I do decide to go again.they have there own flex to them and that helps a little I guess. and yeah thats true, that and the easy-out really bit down on the alloy piece stuck in there and came out nicely.was still tight little bugga.
Fitted a twin adaptor for the oil pressure port so I could run an after market gauge.they are made of alloy and are very very soft. I did it up to the point it was resonably tight being careful not to go mad and.......... Fecking great.so now I am so screwed. I have a hole in my block that oils goin to jet out of and I cant block it. Last hope was an easy-out............ I was so lucky with this, and I didnt even have to take the turbo off. Before I looked up the easy-outs I read horror storys on Google were people had snapped the easyouts In the already snapped of oil pressure thread so needless to say I was so worried but alls well now thank god. I wouldnt use an alloy adaptor again.please be warned. Ddd
I purchased £4.50 lcd temp gauges from china (5) currently and a volt one and they are all spot on. wired up to intercooler, Inlet, water, oil, external temp. been using them for a number of years and they have been faultless.
Yea as above what iddy said.three pucks are a little hard to drive with.not horrific but goin with a six puck is a better choice. worth the money and hold more torque also. Also it comes with a clutch alignment tool
Well I have asked for just £40 for a rebuild kit so I can fix it up and use it.and I think thats very resonable. but yeah normally anybody would do that jamie5414. I just want it running and working.its not much to ask.
Nothing to hide indeed.have had enough of being fobbed off tbh.i am a very reasonable and honest person and the stuff your telling me about the way my own car runs etc is hugely ridiculous. My cars breather system is causing pressure were it shouldnt etc. THE TURBOS SEALS ARE GONE. I did indeed prime turbo before fitting jayj for a good 10secs.
Puchased a ct9 hybrid kit for £370 quid on the 5th of this month, recieved it within 4 days and had a buggered thread on the ct9 and a stripped out bolt on external wastegate housing, was pretty annoyed and then STILL LEFT THE GUY GOOD FEEDBACK for some reason. Only managed to run the turbo up yesterday properly as I needed a new wideband sensor to check fueling. Took it out and once warm at idle after 10-15 secs loads and loads of smoke starts pouring outa exhaust.person I bought kit from is adamant the kit was fine when he had it. Its blatent the turbo has failed and I am getting nowere with the seller as hes still adamant the turbos fine dispite me sending the following pics and video. I DID PAY FOR IT PROTECTED VIA PAYPAL AND HAVE OPENED A CASE. HERES THE PICTURES AND VIDS. PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU THINK THIS TURBO HAS FAILED OR NOT
Yeah the fact is circa 200 bhp in a 900kg car is a good power to weight. Compared to 1,200 kgs and 160-170 of average cars as above like modern 2 litres etc etc
