Project cars back in
Only a bit of work but decided to use the RX8 oil filter housing , small bit of machining required
And we can use the original metal gasket too

Job done
Can easily reach the oil filter from under the UIM as I’ll be using electric water pump . And no fabrication to the bulkhead
Alternator is on , just need to cut 30 -40 mm out of the arm to tidy  it up .

All going well should get the Throttle body adaptor on UIM this evening .
Then need to bore everyone about turbo choices again
Nice install

Prety good price, but you could have gotten a billet one from Puerto Rico for only a few hundred more

I never knew that
To be honest , I wasn’t expecting such a big charge on postage and UK customs tax

Customs charges are embarrassing. Honestly iv ordered stuff from Australia before. About a grands worth of stuff and never got charged a penny.

Iv always been charged stuff from America though.

What questions do you have about turbos?

I would first say to you, hp goals, what rpm are you revving it too and how much would you want to spend on a turbo?

Looking at 420 would be sufficient but drivable as it’s a track car so stays in boost rather than loads of lag .
Not sure whether to go internal wastgates or not .
I will have to be careful about noise restrictions on circuits .
I’m told that wastegates  would need to returned into exhaust to keep noise down if the were separate .
And anything I read in the meantime I guess
It’s a rather big learning curve for me so I’m all ears

Plumbed back in WG will be a must. No point turning up to a track and then getting kicked off only to have to get the WG plumbed back in anyway.

420 to the wheels?

Internal WG turbo then I'd say you should look at the EFR turbos. Super fast spooling but they're not cheap at all

You are full bridge ported aren't you?

Probably revving to 9k max.

I will have A look for stuff, but there's loads. Prety much every combo has been done. So there enough info out there

Grant will choose you suitable turbo from efr range..8374 maybe a tad too more than 420hp..more like 750hp full chat.
