August 22, 201115 yr comment_548351 just a little teaser haha f@$k me thats a big turbo. slighty larger then a GT35R in size. hinting at a built engine? What RPM do you think you will have full spool by? What are you setting this car up for; ¼ mile strip car Dyno Queen Or an all rounder All the best Report
August 22, 201115 yr Author comment_548433 full spool should be seen around 4700- 5000 , rev limiter is going to be set at 8800rpm. I'm really not to sure to be honest , i want the car to be handy enough to go around a race track and be quick enough to do a 10 second quarter mile time. HIGH ROLLER - shut up u ! lol :cool: Report
August 22, 201115 yr Author comment_548434 i really didnt want the t28 , front mount and boost like everyone else , i wanted something to really scare me when i take it for a drive. Report
August 22, 201115 yr comment_548469 Its an impressive build, but how much power will get to the ground to scare you? 350hp atw with semis will get you into mid to high 10's Even a 3071r would do the job and have boost throughout the rev range Report
August 22, 201115 yr comment_548473 You're right, a conrod through the bonnet at 8800 would scare most people. There is a reason people run the gt28rs, boost from pratically idle, with 300rwhp in a 800kg car, power-on burnouts at 80kph. :hmm: Would be real close to getting you that 10sec 1/4 as well. Anyways, not trying to be rude, i do love this car, just sayin'. Report

August 23, 201115 yr comment_548593 I hope that size turbo works out for you, because you would hate it if it turns out to be a cranky unfriendly street driven vehicle. I’ve driven some cars with a huge turbo on the street and some come off boost (revs drop too low) while changing gears and lag before they come on boost again. As you would know a turbo being too large for an engine will have a very narrow power band in the top end of the rev range (it would be a real lag monster). Not being a hater as I can and do appreciate any build of this quality, which yours is and I hope the engine/turbo combo works out. All the best Report
August 23, 201115 yr comment_548610 engine builder atm has said around the 350-370wrkw ( which is around 500rwhp ) is not outta the question. So a built engine is on its way? Report
August 23, 201115 yr Author comment_548752 yes , a engine is being built on the side , the engine in the car atm is a dummy so i could make the intercooler pipes and the like. The turbo was chosen to suit the engine modifications. It will be a little lazy but thats what I'm after, After all it still has a baby tyre on the rear and the last thing i would have wanted was full boost my 3000rpm to smoke the tyres stright away, this way the car will leave the line and progressivly come on strong , rather then blowing the tyres stright away.

Good stuff, with a built engine it all makes sense, it will be an animal. Keep the updates coming! Edited August 24, 201115 yr by oh what a nissan feeling! Report
August 24, 201115 yr comment_548827 I'm sure the smile on his face will say it all haha Wait till you pump some E85 into her, and methanol additive Will be a machine Report
August 24, 201115 yr Author comment_548943 oh what a feeling - In all honestly who really know what the car is going to do ? , ill come to that brigde when i get to it. Being a light car with a decent amount of horsepower , it was a wiser decision to go down this part, if it doesnt work, ill reorganise the setup. NISROLA - id rather keep the car on 98 for now ,i want to get use to it first. Ill proberly end up putting c16 or something of that nature in it , i want to keep away from E85. Report
