Re: A few changes to the RS2'd Trophy
Yeah definitely! I need to get it on the dyno again actually when trhe exhaust place have de-catted this Orbisoud.
A few little changes to my engine bay.
So I decided I would change my air filter setup to a V6 airbox with a Pipercross race filter and a shorter samco Joint. I also fitted a small catch tank and modified the battery tray and front panel to fit it all in! The catch tank is off for...

Epic puncture FAIL! at Arnage bloody dirty french roads lol! bunged it up with a temporary (door card holding on) screw and took it the the 'Arnage Top Garage' near Super U and got it sorted lol. Brand new PE2 aswell, couldnt believe my luck!
Thanks for all the comments guys and girls.
After...

Jesus, thats a work of art! Erm can you get me a picture and an overall dimension flange to flange. Its just so I can get a dimesnion to the back of the bay, unless I side mount the turbo?
Hats off to them if they develop it to have all the upgraded mounting points and a sports cat for cheaper than the orbisoud as this is always forgotten when you buy one. IMO 9 times out of 10 genuine always provails, but this is probably because I am from a japanese car background and if it isnt...
I would say as quiet as OEM sub 4k rpm until it gets really hot after thrashing it and then its probs as loud as the RS192 system but a very different noise.
Its such a refined smooth noise really really happy with it, deffo top trumps the previous BTB. Should sound awesome with boost soon :D
The yozzas are awesome mate!
Right OK, Im going to hang on till the last minute for management but im going to hoard the parts over the coming months so I have a bit of time to get the list sorted.
Ill have to drop him a call to discuss as I definitely do not loads of dashlights on!

That would be brilliant Chip, What sort of cost would I be looking a for it?
I am looking to make 300hp maximum to be honest so I am looking at an evo 6 turbo from a tommy makinen (SP) as they have a titanium impeller so I have been told.
Then on top of this I would need to source boost...
Thats the most informative post ive had in a very long time Chip thanks!
I am looking to order my turbo soon and after reading very good things over on the honda boards with regards to the Evo 9 turbos TD05 do you think a turbo of this size / capacity is well suited or will it have to be a...
Im thinking of keeping the RS2 aswell as a supercharger (Possibly turbo but scared about the way all the torque comes in at once transmission wise). From an aesthetic point of view the RS2 tidies the bay up no end, I dont think I can go back to a standard inlet lol!
I remember him saying...
Its funny you should say that chap! We are just organising for a track day at cadwell with the Evos and an Mk1 RS for sometime near september so shoudl see how it goes! Thaks again for the comment it means alot!
Not yet Chip, to be honest im really loving how it drives at the minute, its so...
Incredible work as ever Chip!
Thats impressive power in such a light car, is it still running a ph1 box? Reason im asking is im thinking of supercharging mine in the next few months and id like circa 260bhp but im very scared that the tranny isnt up to it!
Thanks for all the comments guys!
Here are a few pics from lemans! Im awaiting my friend to edit the raw data on the pics from his SLR and will be along next week sometime.
Here are a few crap Iphone pics lol:
Thanks for looking.
