Has anyone done this yet lol???

That's gotta be the single dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

No one will ever do that because people with the kind of money required are 100% retarded.

yeah that was pretty silly..

So how about a 7.0 litre turbo diesel v8 instead...

A much better idea.

Imagine the torque of a 7L v8 turbo diesel. 1000nm+

300kmph at 2500rpm...lol

I remember reading a story on a twin turbo diesel v8 in a Camaro or something a while back..

The guy who owned it said it does LAZY 10 sec quarters

And diesels sound awesome with a bit of work and a big exhaust.

I need this weeks Powerball to do it. But it can and has been done. Z-Cars in the UK took a Cerbera and put GTR running gear in it. I would do it to a Sagaris, with RB28 and some punchy little twins for 450awkws :)

But in this body

The other car I would kill to build up...

Take one late model Exige and combine

With

And a few parts from the Lotus Motorsports parts bin to create

Full space frame and AWD from a GTR. Should handle fine. Also, TVRs handle just fine, well the Griffiths, T350, Speed 6, Cerbera etc all do (late model stuff) Its just that hacks cant get their heads around driving 400hp rwd cars that weight 1000kgs ( i include myself in the Hack Dept :) )

I have often thought about a mid engined V8 Mazda MX-6 :)

This, Twin Turbo Lotus V8,

Plus, this

They are a good looking car, and even havea reasonable V6 as standard which you could throw in the back with a few turbos :)

I do have in mind the ultimate engine transplant for my lil R32, but I wont make a peep as its actually no more expensive then a rebuilt RB26 with some good fruit....and one day I may actually do it :)

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
