May 21, 200917 yr #42 Good one Ben, so was it making power at the track last time we run.Great to hear it is sorted.My plenum is also having sealing probs, it started last 1 am 20psi squirt it copped.and dam I know I shouldn't be pushing a BA Mk1 std engine that hard, but hay it felt so good.You could feel the Toyo Proxy 4's struggling to hold traction in 3rd.Still havn't got mine together yet, waiting on a few more bits as finance permits.Here's a sneak peak at what is happening.Going to be hard to control myself and keep the boost down til I build the new engine.
May 22, 200917 yr #43 Well done Ben, good to see a smile on your dial again.Had the chance to have a good peak at under your bonnet on Wednesday night, and its really classy. Love the braided lines and catch can. Looks real good. Certainly motivated me to get some bling under the bonnet.
May 22, 200917 yr #46 awsome stuff ben..01txr.. how much did the manifold cost ya>A little on the dear side, $1650, was going to go the ETM but to long a wait.With all the stuff around I have had I could have waited (Not the supplier fault but life problems).It is from Hi Torque and as a lot of people have read about the tisso black ute which made 600+ rwkwit cant be half bad.Menice has just had his engine built with a GT42 hanging off it and made 646rwhp think at 22psi standard ecupump fuel with same manifold think different flange for the turbo.May have sometime first thing Sunday morning if you want to check out the Advantage Software.just wont be able to plug into car as still apart waiting on Oil, water lines & Dump pipe sections.still show you over the program so you know what is involved.if Sunday is ok, just PM your contact if you hadn't already.Ben, you hitting the track again soon, let me know how you go.Wont run mine till you beat my time, then I will go back out and set a quicker time for you to try to beat. LOL
May 23, 200917 yr #47 Author lol 01txr dunno if I will hit the track anytime soon my invoice worried me as to what it reads on it plus every time I go out I brake something . I am getting prices on engine rebuild kits etc and go from there cheers matt cheers karl
May 23, 200917 yr #48 What size turbo is that?Turbo is garrett TO4z With .7 front and .96 rearGate is Turbosmart Progate 50 new compact series stealth.Should get atleast 200rwkw. LOL maybe at under 2000rpm.Its not going to be to series at present as still running the good old faithfulBA Mk1 engine.Will just use the 7psi spring that comes with gate and tune it around the same psi.Should make reasonal power, and may up it to 10-12psi for track days.Once I can afford to finish my engine build then I will be chasing bigger numbers.Will need decent drive shafts as well.Have all the rest of the gear to make the numbers I will be chasing.Plan is to make it as driveable as possibble, and try to improve cruise fuel eccom.But have more go than the average joe when needed.Will look into using a eboost as well to help with traction in the lower gears.Hay Ben, my car may go slower now as I have a .7 front as well. LOL little jokefrom our last time out at the track.
December 13, 201015 yr #49 Author About time I added some progress to this topic pictures say allot more. All I can say is another solid tune by profile tuning aka Clint love his work. to4z internals running a 6 boost low mount manifold which has been hpc coated. And ninja exhaust mod
