The engine hasnt been started yet, still need to finish a couple of bits.
Dont think it will be done in time for the jap show.
Its still an FD engine, just LIM and UIM from cosmo.
Rebuilt the engine, new turbo, new ignition system, new intercooler piping and various other mods including bodywork and side exit! :D

wow just came across this thread.

Good work Ross. I want to see you guys play wih 20b\'s for next year. :)

Apart from slightly better flow, wouldnt it be better to use a complete different manifold. Prehaps like a Jaytech manifold and fit a 10x10 barrel intercooler. Or even add a GT47 face to that turbo.

I\'m pretty certain that turbo is a GT42rs, judging off the fins on the front cover and the over design. Also the slight view of the exhaust housing. All looks pretty much stock GT42rs.

Now we just need to see some pass slips. :burnout

Title: Be Afraid
Post by: JayDee on October 04, 2005, 10:03:37 AM

We are no where near the potential of the two rotor yet!
Plus customers can relate the car more to there own.
Believe me this turbo is nothing like a GT42, to give you some perspective the inlet is 6 inches.

yep defo a drag turbo, bet that thing doesnt go full boost untill 5K, I reckon the RPM limit on that engine is probably set to 10k.
Can we start guessing on the power now?? :D
my guess 650whp

I think maybe 5.5K.
