hahahah nice. Cannot wait to see this one!
-
my only comment is that turbo looks to be too small unless its a 2litre?
-
the turbo is the big t 28 which is a t3 in comparison but yeah it is a bit small but it will spool up quick haha its only there till i get a decent gt35/40 as the one i had was foooked
-
yeah, I used to have a s5 rx7 turbo and that thing was choking the car, didnt make any more power compared to what it did when it was na. boost at 1200rpm though with the big cam.
-
yeah it has a fairly big exhaust housing but yeah i do agree i think it will choke it
-
Hi,
Thats the first time i've seen an oil cooler like that, are they any good?
Bucster
-
apprently there better than the old radiator ones i gues if you look into it in theory they would be as the alloy dissipates heat better and the fins go inside as well so i reckn they will
i am going to have 2 one for the motor and one for the gearbox that one is a 20 inch one and is bigger than i thought hahaha
check out his ebay site has some good stuff and delivery is excellent
