hi all, a bloke i know " likes to exagarate " to say the least ! or to b totally honest " talk out his **** hole "
he has an rs turbo that hes been building for sum time , he has just got hold of a stage 3 hybrid turbo . its a "airesearch" which i believe is a garret turbo . here are his claims
. that he hit 160mph with 5 people in the car , ( standard gearbox and side mounted intercooler )
. and that the turbo runs 4-5 bar peak boost which he sais is 40psi ?

i hav a vf34 ball bearing turbo which ive heard can make 1.5-6 bar
so 5 bar ???? hmmmm wot do u reckon ? sounds like another one of those ford trolls that posted on here last week to me ...........a ***

 

40 psi is 2.7 bar which would blow the head off and through the bonnet of an rs turbo tbho and 160 on a standard box is not possible.
UTTER BOLLOCKS

 

Your friend smoking MH or drinking too much,if yes ask to stop,because talking nice lies...

Utter ****.
Another ford owner who thinks his car is faster than it really is.

 

think u might b right there jura ! got ur 2.1 stroker sorted yet ?

 

thought so ! cant wait til scooby back on the road find out wot his 5 bar boost is really like in reality eh

 

the first turbo car i ever had was a series 2 rs turbo, hit rev limiter with an indicated speed of 142mph going downhill so impossible with a standard gearbox which wouldnt take that much power anyway.

and 5 bar boost in a fwd car???

 

i havent seen a rs turbo run more than 2.2 bar boost and that was MAD as it was. 5 bar boost lmao bull****er. he probably meant .5 bar meaning 5psi ! standard gearboxes stil sometimes go off the clock but we all know they aint accurate its probably a genuine 140mph . im using a airsearch t4 turbo that i believe are used in trucks. mine pulled 168mph on my satnav but i dont know what the true speed was. im using custom ib5 quaiffe gearbox though with shot pinner gears and quaiffe atb differential with a ap racing 4 paddle clutch.. to be honest even with 30psi it feels like death is coming in a rs turbo becuase everything shakes and all hell breaks loose hence why im running low boost [1.2bar] and still making over 300bhp in a car that weighs fock all and fwd that doesnt wheelspind[set up correct]

 

whats your scooby pushing? powerwise

 

5 Bar, absolutely hilarious does he have one of these

 

Years ago I was chasing one on my GSXR and I think he maxed out at 130mph. He didn't do this for long though as there was a big cloud blue smoke and he dived for the hard shoulder. I still want one though

Hello Mo.

 

its not pushing anythin at the mo , waitin for rebuild . but around 350 giv or take a few pony's . im after acceleration hence why i opted for a scoob in the first place , top end im not interested in at all . also i want it reliable as its a daily driver . if my scoob " which ive waited over a year to get bk on road and has a total of little over 10 grand spent on it ! gets beaten by my mates rs " i WILL sell it "

 

i had a rs turbo and i gave harvey gibbs 3k and i drove out with a relieable 225 bhp and the amount of custom parts was unreal.

biggest turbo i had fitted was a sierra cosworth stage 3 and i was running 22 psi as the custom intercooler that forge made couldnt cool anymore for the engine to be salf.

and the torque steer was unreel evan with a modified gear box ,

so the bloke talking shxx ,standerd intercooler my ****

 

You need to swap to RA gearing if that's the case...

dunx

P.S. I run >2 bar on mine, but 4 - 5 bar is simply comedy...

 

HAHAHAHA sounds like my old car! nearly the same spec and i hit 165mhp on sat nav, had a diesel mk5 box the Atb diff that give you the revs,

Reson i sold it was the impending feeling of death it gave you every time your drove it!

Top fun though felt like a 1.1 fiesta off boost then all hell broke loose Smiles per mile were well above any scooby's

 

mine ran 2.1 bar and was a bit nippy

 

My BIL had a 175hp RS which indeed fealt like death was on your shoulder when accelerating. One at 300hp must surely be a bad accident waiting to happen ...

Scooby_Drew had one with a "Cossie" lump in, it was undoubtedly quick, but not suitable for a grown up...

dunx

 

We still see them, I have one booked in tomorrow! Most have cottoned on now, and they stick with much lower boost. The best ones are the 1.8 ZVH (Zetec bottom end) versions, using a TT stage 2 hybrid with a stock cam. Nice and spooly with 200 bhp. More than enough when the clutch isn't up to much else, and the drive wheels are joined by elastic!

 

^^ You must know better than most then Alan that when "pushing on" in a 25yr old car with double its original hp is quite a scary experiance

i love old rs turbos - peco big bore four, k&n induction kit ahhhhhhhhhhh long lost youth.

Maybe the 160mph chaps speedo was abit out? rolling on 20s or summit?
Used to hate seeing rs's on huge wheels

spax sports kit - 16" tsw stealths - yokohama A509s - tarox pads ------- retro hatch heaven

 

About 20yrs ago a mates 1.6gl cavaliar clocked 140mph 5up, wonder haw fast we were really going

 

Damn right.. Try a Starlet with 300 bhp! Tee to green without touching the fairway.

 

just been on you tube checking out old rs turbo clips. A friend had an s2 version with a magnex exhaust and it sounded perfect.

 

ill put up pics on mine incase any of the brummies seen me around

 

yup thats how mine is lol if im driving normally i just drop a gear and plant the throttle.. and get a big kick up the backside and the push it gives you shakes me but im all used to it now and take it off the clock alot for the big buzz i get weeks after lol [private road of course

 

and drum brakes on the rear still!

 

rs turbo = You cant polish a turd
