Pavlo is Paul - the boss of Zen Performance and the man who (very promptly) fitted my exe tc suspension, 6 speed box and new brakes a couple of weeks ago.
He's also the man who has recently fettled a certain 1.5GL that was in at the same time as my car and so is pretty well placed to know who's at 600 already...
He speaks the truth about the Navara but he also has a certain dark green wide arch impreza that you'd have seen in Time Attack last year...

I think Sy's claims about the Turbonator are somwhat overstated. It looks like we might have to have a rethink about all this stuff. Despite the "too good to be true" aspect of it, I was sold at first their claims really stand up to the test. But the developmental unit we have here show promise, perhaps you'd just be better off going from a 1.X engine (Sy's 1.5 isn't exactly standard 
) to maybe a high compression, big bore 2.7 NA engine with twin Turbonators, some trick heads and cams with phase ported tripode profile inlets are on the cards with a view to revving to as much as 8300rpm. Sy has even mentioned a flux something-or-other but 600hp seems such a long way away.
Back to the drawing board I suppose, perhaps a little nitrous will lift the results a little

600bhp involves more work than I realised Paul. It's quite a high figure to achieve. I guess fuel or No2 are the ideal systems?.
My car will be going on a dyno when the new turbo kit goes on and 580 - 590 has been mentioned.
The NO2 kit that's going on is RCM's Gas O Ring set up. That gives the Gobstopper a further 125bhp. Will that be the same on mine? or will it be set up different?

I wont be able to make the meet this Sunday fella's.
RCM are ready to put in the 6 speed and fitting of twisted turbo.
Car going up tomorrow (Saturday) and will be ready for the 30 - 130 event.
Hopefully it could be done for Brands on 27th Feb too.
YESSSSSSSSSS

I sure hope so, I have used RCM for some time and have never been dissapointed is there a technical reason for building the engine with out the o rings in stage 1 ?
just seems a bit strange to build an engine then take it out again 6 months later
Rich
Can't you drive your wifes car, it's not all about the car Clive I happen to think that your an alright guy. (mines a Southern Comfort no ice)

It was then suggested that race fuel or RCM's NO2 system would achieve it, and more.
I know what you mean though. Would have been good to have had it done on the initial build. My fault, not RCM's.

This is the bit I have been looking forward to, and going by some of your previous remarks Marti it should prove to be a big difference?
I went from circa 450 to 580 and difference is poles apart mate. Far bigger than say the jump from mid 300's to mid 400's
I still have not got used to the way she pulls in 4th and 5th gear .Only problem is it eats spark plugs ,they only last 1500 miles and it gets a really bad misfire.
Be careful on what turbo you have fitted ,my engine is 2,1cc so has a bit more torque ,the turbo i have on is the GT30r (3037) with .82 housing .
It starts pulling hard between 4000rpm -4500rpm.
If you go for the gt3542 it will be very laggy ,Matt said to me that mines got around 540 bhp ,with a gt3542 your only looking at around 580bhp on v power but it will not kick until over 5000rpm.
To be onest you will find mine with the gt30r scary.
Its up to you the end of the day ,but go with what Matt thinks

On a 2.0 I think Marty is right a 30R may be better for you a 35R or 35/42 is going to be very, very laggy ! Speak to RCM mate or ask Paul on this thread (they are the experts) but unless your going to only use the car for track and drag then I would go for the smaller turbo.
Have a word with Olly tomorrow and ask him what my car feels like ,i had it re-mapped last year to get a bit more power out of it
Cheers

The NGK racing 8 plugs should last much better, but you need to ensure the engine doesn't run rich on cruise and idle as the plugs will get clogged up pretty quick. A case of "treat em mean, keep em keen!".
I have got some super dooper ones in but for some reason they last around 1500 miles and starts to misfire in 4th and 5th gear.I only use the car really for drag racing so maybe its that ,another thing is i start the engine and warm it up every 3 weeks through the winter as the car does not come out Between november and end march.

They will be NGK R7435-8 or R-7119-8 at a guess, the later being a platinum version which has been replaced by the former, which is Iridium.
What fuel are you running on?
What ignition system?
RCM will have some options for upgrading the ignition which might help, and there are things that can be done with the MoTeC install (might already be in place) that will help keep theplugs clean.
Matt & Ollie are your first port of call.
