bridgeported stock twins??? dude..thats gonna be a PITA...wont it be like producing boost on idle?

[logicalChimp]

Bridge-ported twins?  other than soundin like a dodgy porn movie, i\'d imagine that you\'d a pair of uprated twins to keep up... (ok - thats sounds even worse - oops)

anyway - aren\'t you worried that the first time you floor it, you\'ll get so much exhaust pressure that you\'ll blow the twins out the back of the car?

oh dear.  i need more coffee... :2Rolleyes

blow the twins out the back of the car! no way...
 
 
 
 
 
 
... would i get with a shemale.
 
well i spoke to lindop and they said it should be ok, they are stock twins that have just been rebuilt and a non-seq set up, with enlarged wastegate and so on..
 
am i right in guessing that this is a first time thing on here or something?
 
if the stock twins can last for 15 odd year with abuse and other up-graded mods, i am sure new one\'s will last a year or so with my mod\'s until i reach the single road!

Bridgeport twins eh?...

Now you\'re giving me ideas!

My engine is coming out this weekend.

I built a bridgeport and ran it on 99 spec twins a few years ago,non sequential turbo\'s and pretty much instant boost in any gear.It was in my own FD at the time.
It was alot of fun.

well as i can not get back on this site due to my comp not working i can sort of update it!
 
the engine is back in the car and it is running but i have not picked it up yet due to other things getting finished!
 
also the price has gone up and i now have to pay another 600 odd pound on top of the first price, so i am not longer getting the bridgeport, i might not be getting a new dash too!
 
been told the reason of the tip going is due to oil starving from the old turbos, but the tip went during the mapping with the new turbo\'s so i am a bit confused! and i always though there was something wrong with the oil system when i first picked the car up after the first rebuild (before the mapping) because of the smoke that was coming out of the zorst!
 
i have had a new loom fitted to the car stil but the aint ure if that is going to sort the bat going flat so i aint to sure if that is a waste of money!
 
also i think i might sell the car this year as i have put nearly 10k in 6 months trying to sort it and its still a twin turbo with only so much bhp

[karl_tate]

cool, wish mine was finished lol

i thought the reason the tip went was down to it going lean as in your previous post??

dont sell mate, will all be good when you get it back

[ENVYD]

yeah so did i mate! they said it went rich then very lean causing it to blow a tip.
 
but when i was on the phone to them before the said when the engine was apart it looked the engine had been starved of oil scoring the tip causing it to snap of full boost while getting mapped or something along them lines but i dont really get how that would cause it to go lean :S
 
unless i have just understood them wrong!
 
anyways i think i am going down next friday to pick it up! get the 1000mile run in done in a week lol! get it mapped! and off i go again waiting fo rthe next rebuild lol!

[karl_tate]

maybe it ran lean as well, because they couldnt have known it got starved of oil until it was apart i suppose.

did they find out why it ran rich then lean though??

do you know what was required and reused in the build??

lol in a week, thats going to be a very expensive one :Giggle can i give you my shell card lol

[ENVYD]

i am not sure mate! there ringing me back today to tell me that eveything is okay and ready to pick it up (i hope)!
 
i have my own shell card mate . maybe i will get that flight to Japan i have always wanted with the air miles i will get lol!

[Bobbit]

Glad it\'s getting sorted Stephen, shame the cost\'s gone up and i\'m confused as to why it went pop too, if the oil was causing probs why did changing the tubbys over not fix this, unless they did not change any oil feeds. I got a shell card too!

[D2BBA]

Pleased its going to be back on the road bud

I bet within a few miles youll be wanting to keep her!  Fingers crossed it holds up OK.  At least youve got another 12 months of warrenty (I hope).

Must get me one of them there Shell cards...
