Need to do a few other bits to remove some limitations before its pushed up to the full whack, plan is to go to 500.

So interesting comparison, red is vf43 blue is the new sc46x. The vf43 was maxed on my car, the sc46 is on low boost setting, 1.3 with a peak of 1.4 on the road, pretty east to tell it's not even trying as there pretty much no boost drop off haha

yeah, not known till it was too late, remember that P1 that burnt out because of a failed fuel line 😮

certain things i would never scrimp on and dont mind paying a premium for decent stuff, fuel lines, brake lines are def two of them.

wel technicly it was tuesday, but got the car back with a darn might more go haha

cheers, yeah really please, give the jump in turbo the lag hasn;t gone up too bad, just need to save some more pennys to get the rest of the bits done haha

So its fitted and mapped. And bejesus does or go well. As expected it's being held back spool and top end by a few things, tmic, headers and sports cat to name a few. But man I drives well. Low down its happy as Larry just pootling round, then when it comes on boost all hell breaks loose and it just fecks off, and keeps fecking off right up to red line. So in the end it made 381bhp and 390ftlb, on 1.4bar 😮 Given it's a 500+ turbo and being limited it's a pretty epic result with plenty more to come.

😄 yeah, wont stay that way for long, but hey ho haha more bwaaaaappppp and tssshhhhhh incoming

So here it is, well, the only pic I have at the min hahaha

welcome

welcome 🙂

honest answer is not entirley sure. turbos good for the full 500, so gonna be limited by a few things, TMIC, standard headers, ecu and clutch. in theory around 400ish depending on what those cry enough at.

So, over night (that wern't so overnight) parts from america have arived, mianly a nice white box about a foot square 😄 Injectors have been done and existing turbo removed, should just be acase of fitting new turbo, and reassmbling all the other bits and its ready for mapping next week 😄

😄

welcome, a scoob is a scoob, turbo or not turbo 😄

Update coming soon after a bit more fettling 😄

welcome

no idea about valve springs im afraid, i know mine had supertech valve kit in it, but not sure on the specifics im afraid.

tbh i;ve never heard of anyone swapping 2.5 cams in over here, not that that means it hasnt been done of course.

will very much depend on whats due at that service.

WHP is US figures and is somewhat , well very, over egged compared to ours. 450 horse power at the wheels would put the figure around 560bhp at the fly wheel over here, which isn't possible on the turbos they claim do the figures etc. My advice, don't use nasioc for tuning info, they have a very strange way of doing things at times and massively over egg results. So, that said, what are your actual goals? a well setup 300bhp car will walk all over a 500bhp badly setup car and be alot more fun even with the lower power. what shell are you using do to it? how extreme are you actualy going to go? full bare shell with cage, or still in road trim? What block are you going to use? is it worth getting a closed deck block? Road and race use are very very different animals, as well are multi lap race vs time attack.

no i odnt mean forged, i mean as in replaced the crank bearings? they often take damage when the HG goes.

did you get the bottom end done?

Fair do's, was worth a shot anyway. Mine needed a new pump not long back as it was whining even with proper fluid level
