[jaqule]

Was on James BelGerion's car , Garrett FTW

[Amec]

were did u buy the kit from cheers mate

it didnt come as a kit, its a custom setup.

[jaqule]

Speak to AMEC if you want a similer or exact setup , this should make good SAFE power with the right mods and suportting parts.

[Revhead]

Aah James' old turbo... nice and responsive!!

[Amec]

back together again!!

only a few loose ends to tidy up and she's ready for dyno tuning Friday afternoon to handle the bigger injectors Justin at Competition Tuning and Performance will be doing the tuning.

also thanks to Mobile Auto Hoses for helping us out a little with the cost of the turbo lines.

[Amec]

here is the dyno result

[jaqule]

We made it a bit safer too , only running 1 bar rather then 1.1 , also changed rev limit from 7400 too 7100.

Full boost at 3750

[blitza]

what turbo is it running???

[Amec]

congrats to Beau today who made it through to the top 12 in Driftstate at QR today.

He qualified in 17th position out of 24, then won his first battle after a re-run. Then in his second battle, he drove the car out of sight, but the other car simply had more power and Beau couldnt keep up.

However I was very happy with the way he drove and once we get a chance to put a big power motor in the drift car, I am confident that Beau will do really well in future events.

[PWND]

far out, how much power did the other car have?

thought he would be quite competetive with the current setup.

there was about 8 other cars there over 400hp@rw , I lost to a 415rwhp 2.2 tomei 180sx that is about 970kg , mind you he is bloody good too , just finished 5th two weeks ago at DA Adalide

Had the QLD r2 State championship on sunday , first time driving it with it's new setup turbo , it was a shame I had to take off my tower brace to fit it on as the front seemed to wash out a little coming out of a turn , and I have lost my 2nd gear sycros .

So had practice from 10 , got about 3 laps in and found I was lossing power , opened the hood and found out I had melted a cooler pipe as it was too close to the manifold , so had to rush around to the supercheap to buy and then fit a new one , and also make a section of heat shield to make sure it does not happen again .

Then came qualifiying , I had one more practice lap to check the setup which felt good , so I lined up for my first qualifying lap , started out great but I missed 3rd going into the dipper and went into 5th , but managed to recover and get through without to much trouble. My second qualifying went well besides a little bit of dirt turbo .

Ended up qualifying in 17th and had my first battle up against the TOKAGE soarer driven by Josh Botcher , a well proven driver who normaly drives his FC rx7 , but due to brakege was picked to drive for the TOKAGE company.

First lap I was chasing , and I managed to stick very close but at the cost of losing angle a few times , lead lap I hit the dirt once which was being judged very harshly , so it went to a re- run where as the Soarer spun both times due to a bad tyre , so I was through to top 16.

Next battle was against my very good friend Eugene in the Federal/Mercury 180sx , a seasoned DA competitor in a 400rwhp 2.2 tomei 970kg fully built drift rig. First lap I was chasing and lets just say he pulled away with his foot to the floor , and on my lead lap he followed very well , so I was knocked out , but was told by many people that it was a very close battle considering the power difference. I was told later that with my score against Euge that I made 12th place

[Squishy]

Car and you went off yesterday .. much much fun and awesome result!

[BelGarion]
