Kel's Super Turbo Super Build

[TiTAN]

isnt his intake only one pipe though? wouldnt that rule only apply if it had two inlets like the GTR does?

It talks about multiple devices.

Not multiple inlets.

It has a SC and a turbo.

IE, 2 devices...

[Duncan]

dope is good, right?

I am sure they mean 2x 27mm with 2 intakes, not 1x27 if you have 2 chargers, even if that is what is written (ie I'm sure it can be "fixed" as it is not the intent).

2x27mm = 458mm2 intake

1x38mm = 453mm2 intake

[sav man]

the way the restrictors work they need to be attached to the supercharging device (50mm from the impellor), so you will need one on each device. IPRA is running it's self into the ground with their turbo descrimination.

Is the car homoligated to run IP? won't it be to small and be classed as a 'sports car'?

[Duncan]

another good question, although it is a 4 seater so maybe not a sports car. If Lofty's starlet or an early rx7 is ipra, surely this would be too?

on related news I was speaking to an ipra person on the weekend and their "discussions" on turbos are continuing. their current line of thinking is ditch the restrictor but enforce a factory + x boost limit. If they did something sensible they would double competitors within a year.

[sav man]

you been speaking to garry? I've been reading the ipra thread about lmt, i'll be surprised if ip is still going in tassie next year. Most people have got pissed of with having to run A048's and turbo restrictors and gone to the 'Targa' class.

You recon there will be a new national series setup by the time the car is done?

If you are right, I would be keen to enter...eventually lol

OMG I remember this thread.

The March is getting a forged bottom end and big (ie 1x GTR) turbo at the moment. Also has a full sic lumpy cam. Probably running again around March ironically

[evil_weevil]

woo hoo!!

bout time!

[zebra]

Well......

[Duncan]

wrong March.

Maybe August? I need the stag back first

[zebra]

wrong March.

Maybe August 2027? I need the stag back first, also have to finish the nugget, rebuild 16 engines and finish a house.

Fixed for accuracy

I missed this. The car looks nuts Dunc. Bet its heaps of fun to drive!

[Duncan]

hahah it drives exactly like an early 80s designed 1litre car would. crap.

until boost and boost arrives then it's just crazy 80s style torque steer and classic fun

we do need to update the suspension a little, it had trouble with bottoming out the shocks on the track day we took it too.

[r33_racer]

Thats mad, fwd cars are quite novel to drive. I have to admit your super turbz looks pretty damn cool!

[Duncan]

I remember this thread.

Engine is being put back together at the moment after some other projects took priority.

But I've learned not to estimate dates any more I need to get the ute rebuilt first anyway

[XRATED]

Photo updates!

[Duncan]

haha will do when I get a chance...last time I saw her she was pretty sad sitting in a paddock.

[MBS206]

Duncan, when are you bringing all the cars home, and do you need a hand getting them in the garage/photos taken?

[Duncan]

no spare space in the garage mate. I might park this in there because it is small, but with 2 dailys and whatever I am working that garage is as full as I want it.
