Was watching your build and am gutted for you that this is how it ended. That sucks.

Still, as ditch says.. onwards and upwards!

The next reincarnation will be even better now! :)

Where did you find that 2.35 from, is it a short motor or full engine, the only 2.35's I have done lately are in the back of drag VW Beetles & flatbeds.


If you need a spec of it e mail me the engine number.

Yeah mate same here spool should be interesting

Rbon91 22 April 2016 07:01 PM

Rite guys,

The mapping was finished off on the car today. The car made 400/445 at 1.4 bar but wouldn't make anything else.. should run 1.7 all day long no problems so ahead jase went looking fir obvious things, boost leaks etc.. then I got hold of Simon from chevron, turns out my turbo is best suited to a 2.0 or 2.1 engine. Not a 2.35 he has told me that the exhaust housing in the turbo is to small so that's why on a 2.35 it won't make the power and on a 71 mm wheel when it would be better on a 73mm wheel. Car km told spools crazy! Looking forward to picking it up tomorrow. Not the power I wanted but hey.. its fixed and I can look later in the year of adding a bigger turbo.

Almost same symptoms my turbo has, 7cm exhaust housing is too small for a 2.5 so it spools like a mother****r but wont hold past 4000rpm. Turbo is currently off getting an 8cm TD06 ceramic housing and lightweight shaft with high flow wheel so should see me north of 400 without needing meth.

That's interesting to see. Going to enjoy it for the summer then go from there in the winter
