The next level........

Steevie Wonder · 02-05-2008, 19:22

I'm going off on one again....

Have been thinking lately about taking my car to the next level......

After a lengthy chat with Mike at Jabba I'm now thinking of their new hybrid IHI/Garrett turbo setup. With my engine rebuild taking the capacity up to 1900cc I would be looking at around 430 hp and 400 ibs/ft torque....

Will keep you all posted!

Umm, waste of time and money my mad friend. You will never be able to use all that power with the front wheel drive set up. Trust me I know.

Steevie Wonder · 03-05-2008, 11:10

What is your engine output Des?

There is another hybrid kit they do which is around 390hp / 375 ibs/ft torque.....

Decisions, decisions.....

Liverpool-Lad · 03-05-2008, 11:28

Id buy a new car I think.

I have spent far too much on it, the car is in better condition now than when I picked it up with 4 miles on the clock nearly 6 years ago.......

I'm well past the point of selling it, I will run the thing into the ground!

bengie · 03-05-2008, 11:55

don't bother, waste of time really.

as said you'll never get the power down and also by going bigger turbo you'll probably be sacrificing mid range so infact making it even worse as you'll have nothing in the midrange compared to now and then all of a sudden you'll have wheel spin.

Captain Scarlet · 03-05-2008, 12:16

Buy EddyH's old car, as it's for sale again. See the for sale section.

bengie · 03-05-2008, 12:32

hell yeah, that would be a far better solution

I don't really know but I can't run full boost or anywhere near it. My set up is probably good for 450/500bhp and even with the stripped out car, I can spin the wheels at 1.5 bar with 20% gain on the boost controller.

Mind you you are running the Diesel box so may be a little more forgiving with a lead boot.

Only if you use a cheap manifold. My GT30 is fully spooled at 3.5k rpm with a proper equal length manifold not the rubbish I have seen on here. EGT,s are the lowest I have ever seen with this manifold.
