KETURBO25 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yeah i love it too much to sell it i think Ryan, sometimes i think it would be smarter to sell it while its still in good condition and not defected, but then of course ive gotta consider the fact that ive only EVER driven it twice in 3 years so i havnt really got my moneys worth out of rebuilding the engine or buying the car in the first place for that matter. Once the exhaust is on the car ill put some rego on it and finally get some enjoyment out of owning it. Good advice as usual mate. What a champion.

Couldnt agree more with ya mate, its just waaaaaayyy too loud to drive on the street at the moment and i could use the cash, but i wil regret it if i sell it...I took SLO-030 for a boot today (second time I'm ever driven it) and oh my f@$king god... just feeling it hit boost was enough to make me put an end to the thought of selling it. can't wait to take it on its first RC Cruise.

Yeah, Ryan was telling me it PULLS HARD! Reckons it'd stand a chance against a VE SS. If this is true, you'd be nuts to sell it. Also, if you've only driven it 3 times, WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU SELL IT! CRAZY MAN IS CRAZY! I have my blown 4k for sale, I doubt it has the power yours has, but I will regret the day it goes. When you do take it on a RC cruise, people will be having a pull over your car :P By the way, what turbo are you running? Ryan wasn't sure. Cheers, Jake.

KETURBO25 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 what turbo are you running? Cheers, Jake. I really don't know much about carby fed turbo setups at all, but i can tell you its a garret turbo, I'm sure i remember hearing someone say that its a suck through setup? Might have to ask the guru about that one. i.e TAZ-RX Glad you like the car man, and yeah id love to take you for a boot in it, one of my friends has a VE SS and after today I'm seriously wanting to line him up in the rolla.

Not hard to work out, if you get a chance just take a photo of the engine bay for me, I'd love to see it. Sounds pretty sweet! Given what you've told me you didn't do the setup yourself? Did you just take it to someone and say "Engine plus turbo, KGO!"? I'd KILL for a joy ride one time, BUT I'm in Melbourne :( Ryan has almost talked me into moving to SA though :P I have some boost application plans of my own! :D I've already supercharged my KE70 4k. Piece of piss. Also a suck thru system. Next plan is a Twincharged KE55 Coupe, running a SC14 supercharger AND a T28 turbo. As for the setup, I have 2 options which I've been debating with Ryan fairly often. His setup seems ALOT more simple, BUT I like the idea of mine, it's slightly different to a usual setup AND I'll run a front mount intercooler. WHO DOESN'T LIKE THE LOOK OF AN INTERCOOLER HANGING OUT OF THE FRONT GRILLE! :P Cheers, Jake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Engine and car were built by a guy i used to work with. Had the chance to buy the complete car and half a shed full of parts for 3,000. Didnt have the money and it sold to a guy who blew the engine and sold it to a car yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KETURBO25 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Sounds like you've got big plans man, i don't think anyone would frown at the sight of an intercooled rolla...except the :fuzz:..... go to page one of this thread and you'll see some pics of it all. :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhmills Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 That's a suck thru setup alright. Looks neat though, VERY CLEAN engine bay setup. heaps of room left over :) Never a bad thing! Cheers, Jake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
