Yeah buddy, feels like i've had it alot longer! Probably cause i've only driven it for a few months!!! Its from speedhunters bud! Quote
Charlie28 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 Varis front arrived! Going to take a fair bit of cutting to get it to fit correctly! But should look good! Quote
jimmymac101 Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Looking good man! For a car that's been in peices for ages it looks so clean ! HahaJames Quote
Charlie28 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 Spoke to Rob the engine builder yesterday, he has checked over the forged block i dropped down and said its fine to be re-used! So will be honed and 75mm PEC pistons installed with my existing Scat Rods! Head was recently re-built by TD and Rob is happy that it requires little to no work (couple of little mods by Rob to be done). He's also selected the best crank out of the 2 i dropped down and this will be getting some work done to it. Still not sure on a timescale yet, but not in any rush! Quote

Charlie28 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 Whey happy days Charlie Yeah mate, hopefully wont cost me a fortune! Need to decide what turbo to run now! Quote
maddox710 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Yeah of course always a pain with the variety of turbos and wanting to make the most out of the engine+ setup etc.Are you going for a power goal? Quote
Charlie28 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 I'll prob get a TD05 16g Billet. Aiming for 300bhp, that's plenty enough for now! Quote
maddox710 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Room for abit more with that turbo too. Just need to bring attention to the lag. I was seeing 1.5bar @ 5500rpm :/ Quote
Charlie28 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 Room for abit more with that turbo too. Just need to bring attention to the lag. I was seeing 1.5bar @ 5500rpm :/ Hmm. Yeah that's the only issue. Ah well, we'll see! Quote
Socks Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 If your aim is 300bhp Charlie. Really wouldnt bother with a td05. Lag for no reason... One of Race-Tech or TD's Billet TD04's will see you there! Quote

One of Race-Tech or TD's Billet TD04's will see you there! Yeah been thinking about the TD04 Billets too. We will see nearer the time. Wont be buying a turbo until the engine is back. Quote
Charlie28 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Well those of you that have me on Instagram know I bought a new turbo for when the engine is back! I wasn't sure what turbo to run but this popped up and I had to have it! It's a Greddy T518Z with a billet comp wheel. Performance wise it's more a less a TD05 18g turbo. Managed to find a graph showing performance but obviously this was with the standard steel comp wheelIt's been re-built recently by Glasgow turbo and I have the receipt but it will be going to Liam @ Midlands turbos to have a check up and the wastegate welded shut.
