Glanza Mac Posted October 12, 2014 Author Posted October 12, 2014 Little update, the bad weather is here so the car is of the road :-) Alot is going to happen over winter, the turbo I'm going to run is already bought and we be getting sent out tomorrow, it will be getting fitted over winter as theres not a great deal left to buy I.e turbo kit wise and depending how much work I have on. The glanza may go into the body shop :-D Rob. Quote
Glanza Mac Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Turbo time!!!Gt3582r Next to my size large helmet Bolted to the manifold and engine :-) Unsure whether to use it as it is or see if I can make it a 30/35 hybrid :-) Rob. Quote
Socks Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Sweet Rob... So what's your power aim? Around 600bhp? Quote
Azz Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 That's gonna be a tight fit haha looks epic man Quote
Glanza Mac Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 I'll have to cut the front right handside of the crossmember to allow the manifold to fit but I'm sure I can come up with something to keep the strength :-) Not sure what power exactly but just as much as what the car and myself can handle :-) Rob.

kavan-k Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) That Turbo is hugeeeee!! Great work bud, it is gonna be a tight squeeze but will look amazing Edited October 27, 2014 by kavan-k Quote
Socks Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I'll have to cut the front right handside of the crossmember to allow the manifold to fit but I'm sure I can come up with something to keep the strength :-) You mean the top light support bar? Or the lower cross member? Handle wise id say 400-450bhp is max they can sort of handle... That turbo is a 600-650bhp turbo... Quote
Gainzy Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 The thought of 600hp is just crazy I hope you get there in the end Quote
Glanza Mac Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 I'm going to start of with 0.8 bar as that's what my wastegate is sat at so when it comes to being mapped etc I'll go on track with it sat at 0.8 bar and see how I get on, more power will come when I go to santa pod etc, not just 600-650 on the street haha :-P Rob.

Glanza Mac Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 Not really mate, just swapped over jobs and I don't get payed for another two weeks and with Christmas comingup, it's put a halt to stuff atm but I will be buying more parts and swapping my engines over, over the Christmas period :-) Rob.

MARC MOSS Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I havnt ruled it out yet but I don't want to spend an awful lot on a turbo that will last the same as another for less :-) Cadwel park video: B18 Glanza V @Cadwell Park: http://youtu.be/OT2C_9hQ-soSkip to 8minutes as it's only a 20min session so there's alot of slow laps and my camera stops after so long too :-( not a good video but it's better than nothing Rob.Is it the camera or does it look like you are lying back with your arms stretched right out in that vid mate ? Looks bizarre Quote
MARC MOSS Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 3582 in a b18 Glanza..... You fucking crazy man lol I love it... Quote
Glanza Mac Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 I've got the go pro on my helmet and they are quite long and wide angle, plus I'm not exactly short either haha.Yeah I'm hoping for it to pack a punch :-P Rob. Quote
GlanzaJ Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Just curious but will you get any major lag running that turbo mate ? Quote
MARC MOSS Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Just curious but will you get any major lag running that turbo mate ? shouldnt do Quote
Glanza Mac Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 Wouldn't think so, once I'm in boost and change gear, I should still be in boost plus they rev fast anyway :-) Rob. Quote
MARC MOSS Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Wouldn't think so, once I'm in boost and change gear, I should still be in boost plus they rev fast anyway :-) Rob.Yup they certainly do, people have to stop thinking 4efte and think b18c Quote
