 i dont think kev-yorks has had any problems with his.

{\']510bhp @ the hubs at under 1bar and at 6800rpm!!  :Thumbsup!   Excellent work Pip  :god

so where can I get one from?!  

Eh ? where can you get a Pip from you ask ??

In single turbo form its stood up to two years of me abusing it with only a damaged manifold which was caused by excessive lagging not allowing any heat to escape. Prior to that it was only gearboxes i kept killing.
 Trust me it didn\'t get nursed at all in that time Throttles arn\'t progressive in my motors there switches!

we have a tripple FD and it has been a pain to get right as has Normski\'s from what i gather, but once the R&R has been done i would think they will be as reliable as an FD running the same boost.   5 years ago, there were very few modded FD\'s and virtually no single turbo ones so it was the same back then, (i think Gary G will vouch for that)

Ours (read: my cousins) has been built by us with help from ReWorx and has just had its first tune to 10psi and 7k rpm (435 rwhp), it has been so long getting it right that we dont want to push it anymore until we get the rest of the car sorted incase the worst happens.

Once its been run in and tested (and finished) it will go back for a remap and up the boost.

I would imagine that Pip has been extra conservative in the mapping which is evident from the fact that he only took it to 6700 rpm with the power still climbing.

I feel as more people build tripples the tuning will be taken closer to the edge and we will see a lot more power in exactly the same way FD\'s have done.

It appears at this stage that the power is similar but running .3 - .4 bar less boost than a 13b.

Nice figure!

It may be worth looking into an alcohol injection system Normski. Lots of the US guys are running 24+ psi on their engines with alcohol injection no problems. One guy was running 1 bar at about 490bhp (if i remember correctly) and his injectors were running 85%.  He added some alky to the tune and dropped the fuel off and put down a touch over 500 with 50% injector duty and his knock levels dropped something amazing

Seriously, look into it! Howard Coleman on RX7 club i believe is running 500+ hp on twin t04s (yes, twin t04s) with alcohol and 24psi and has been for about 9000 miles now.

Yes Ant i can vouch for that,in 2000 when i modded my FD there wasnt any single turbo FD\'s in the UK,i believe i was the first.Getting things done right was a nightmare,i was a test bed then for a few tuning companies which is why it has cost me so much to get where i am (nowhere)

Nice figures Normski, good work!

Chin up Gary, the past is done, sights set on the future mate!!!

 Where are you gonna get this done?

I run water and Meth injection system. But boooz, i would drink it before it ever got to the tank.

If you want to drink industrial grade alcohol then be my guest, but im sure itll be much more fun putting it in your car (after all, peaking at 20+psi on the street is much more fun than a trip to A&E)

If you want more info just shout and ill hook you up with a link.

HELLO!!!!! SHOUT!!:driving
