D1 WTF

Quote from: olly-civicseems as someones done it before me i can ask a few questions

*will i need a dust mask when climbing up the exhaust to do cleaning and checks

*if i need to get rid of a body would there be any recognisable bits if i fed it in on full boost

*is v-power good enough?

as for the dust mask, i used to use the ones from halfords but found that they didnt seem to work to well, there was generally so much carbon build up that within seconds it just came through the mask.  however i live near a firestation and one day i was passing by and they were doing a boot sale.  i picked up one of there fully enclosed suits and breathing apparatous for £15.00, would you believe it.  
if you go down this root i would just advise you to be careful where you get the breathing air bottles refilled/replaced.  i stole a bottle from a hospital once after my missuses had had our baby (she only took a couple of breaths of it, so i assumed there would be plenty left).  next time i went up the exhaust to do the customery check i was lost up there for HOURS.  was crazy what you can find in there, i met that rabbit from alice and wonderland and everything  (bit of a wierd bloke really), when i eventually came out after running out of air i had a banging headache.  so make sure you get the right air as apparently there are different types.

i wouldnt condone getting rid of bodys (unless you were going to be arrested for accidently causing their premiture death).  but put it this way i couldnt find anytrace of my dogs, it was just the little bit of fur on the turbine nut that gave it away.  however talk to the local cremitoriam perhaps they could subsidise your turbo conversion by helping them speed up there process.  (sure you could scrape some dust off you exhaust for them)

V-power seems good but doesnt last long, actually no fuel does.  it tends to be quite thirsty on boost.  when i last calculated it, it seemed to do something like 12 GPM (gallons per mile) that was boosting a bit though

glad i could be of some help
IF YOU DIDN\'T CARE YOU WOULDN\'T BE LOOKING

engine was picked up on sat and is yet to be built and the car is still in the bodyshop so it\'ll be touch and go for rotorstock.

as for competition for smiler, i dont really stand a chance as the car prob will be near the same power but diff setup to his in regards to drag racing and mine still has a stock box to his new 6speed dog, also i am def not the pilot he is!

think ill be letting him loose in it though to see what it really can do later in the year:Thumbs-up

Initial-D

Running a HKS TA45 with large street port, full boost just after 4K, had it for 2 years and eats up Ferrari\'s!  May go bigger this year, so may be up for sale lol!! :D
Cheers
