:( Ok it seems Pip is doing his best to get this thing ready for Rotostock the end of the month. I doubt it myself, But he is giving it a go. :2Confused :mad:
Would be great to see it there even if you dont run it down the strip, if its not ready then dont risk it :Thumbs-up
i thought you were in le mans even if it is done?
Yes we are will be, but I was/am hoping it will be completed so as I could take it to :rolleyes: rotostock, as we don\'t leave till the 3rd June!
Norm. i gotta see it when its done. I get gary to come up as im sure he would love to see it as well ... mail me sdminus@yahoo.co.uk

Forgot to mention. I saw norski\'s car at wgt on saturday. All I can say is "oh my God". The work that has been done to it is absolutely outstanding. This is definately a very big job. Just for quick reference the engine is a good 3in lower than in the stock position and is way back in the engine bay, all without the firewall being altered. Guy with a RX8 being tuned just looked and didn\'t really understand what was under the bonnet. Sounds awesome, quiet in a cosmo way. Very muscular sound, sweet as a nut !
Huge monster turbo that looks the business and everything looking perfect.
All i can say is awesome isn\'t strong enough for the amount of work pip has put into it !

Is it still there Shaun? I was under the impression Normski was collecting the sat after rotorstock
He was collecting it to take the car to lemans. I think he said it had 130 miles on the engine.
Very, Very impressive
Shaun
got any pictures?
Sorry for the Delay Normski, I took these pics while the engine was still being built, The turbo is Monsterous!, talking to pip about it he\'s not anticipating massive lag from it either!

Good luck with it fella, an thanks for the boost controller :god

How do you manage huge turbo, minimal lag....does not compute!!!!... :2Confused....Project looks awesome though... :chat
huge turbo on a big engine = no lag
TBH I\'m not entirely sure either, obviously a ball bearing an ceramic bladed unit will help faster spool up, but pip mentioned something about the torque the tripple puts out?
As I said this isn\'t something I know a lot about so I\'m not saying it\'s fact, just what I picked up in the conversation. It might have been not much lag for a turbo of this size or on this engine?

It\'s a 20b so flows a third more exhaust gasses. I\'m running a garret GT42 on mine on boost at 3000rpm and no lag. If anything its a bit on the small size
Quote from: MikeLMRhuge turbo on a big engine = no lag
In the case of the Bugatti Veyron: Huge engine + quadruple turbos= lag.......... lag..........lag....Ohmygod takeofffffffffffffffffffffff... :chat
I was reading a write up (kind of Bigging Garrett up), they where saying that with modern Turbo\'s the high end spec cars 600-700hp are made to tailor the responce so the power surge does\'nt brake the drive train, they point out with the Modern Wheels and Cores it would be possable to out perform a Supercharged car of the same engine size and HP.
I think when you get an Engine that has the VE of a Rotary you can always spool the larger side of the Turbo world. :)
I think normski said it was a T70 turbo, about the same size as kevs !!! Its a monster for sure.
Shaun
This is the Monster in question...
(hope Norman don\'t mind)
who said size doesnt matter................ thats nice!
bring it on Norm!
You can\'t beat a big one
Looks tiny to me !!!! .............................................. errr hold on was looking in the mirror when i said that :rollin :rollin :rollin
