turbo lag then ;)

It cant be that loud if you can stil hear your missus ;) Im having a new exhaust on mine. 5" slash cut, 2.5" full system :D Itll be unbearably loud at 4k when the turbos at full boost. I wont hear her moaning then. God bless loud exhausts. Oh yeah - Bazz, ill make sure im quiet when i idle past...

Whcih ZS though? Cause the 180s ARENT slow. I get little fezzy boys, corsas, saxos and sometimes, yes. Clios . Thing is though, with a class looking car, someones going to have to give it a go. And its usually the ford muppets.

lol. too right. my mate blew a turbo seal on his coupe turbo infront of my. As Jonto says, it takes a while to get it off. Gave me a good excuse to get it valeted :D Ste

Id love to have a go in a diablo :(

Lord of the rings, itll hurt more. lol. T!ts like that should be locked up and banned from driving. it gives modified car drivers a really bad name. And why does it seem to be astras most of the time? A blue one chased me down the EP in Telford. Once i wound down my window and realised he was...

Ive got most of the autoglym range. And im very pleased with the results. I cleaned my engine bay the other day. :D http://members.lycos.co.uk/dagowly/enginebay1sml.jpg

Gotta admit though, in some ways they do look similar? Ive come up against only 1 VTS that beat me. Turned out to have a 1.9 turbo lump in it. DOH!

Baz - your car gets up my drive ok. And THATS low. Remember my 214 kept hitting it :D lol

Bazz - checked out this one for you mate. Yep, turbo conversion car. Turns out what you heard was a piston melting at full boost. when a turbo hits its boost limit, it just feels like theyve instantly taken the turbo away and youre NASP. On my GSi T once i hit 14.7 psi (1bar) it feels as if im...

Evo. hmm. 4.4seconds? hmm. One word for you. Skyline. A lad my dad knows one had one imported from Japan. Very nice car. 0-60 in - well, by the time id realised id cacked myself, it was doing 100. Bazz has been in my car before, hell tell you how fast mine is ;)

Arent the saxo and the 106 built on the same floor pan? I have no troubles from either cars in mine. Once they stop pratting about, i go past them. I just love 200bhp cars :D Ste

Metros are awful cars, but once you stick a VHPD 1.8K series in. its a scooby killer. lol. Theyre so quick its just stupid. Were talking high 12s, low 13 second 1/4 miles 220GTis - to 93 they had M series NASP engines and T series turbos. 220GSi - to 96 had T series NASP and T series Turbos...

Bazz - Robs got a good point, you wont get a ear ticking by the local plod again then for having them on with your side lights ;) Ste

In reply to your topic above :- Yes putting a feather 10 ft away in a storm will not move if you blow it, but the storm will be blowing it.. just like a vacuum does in the plenum chamber. I agree that they dont disturb the air, but they add just enough to equal out the engines over fuelling. Ste

LMAO. seems to be the same principle over go faster stripes and that 10k spray ;) Ste

Ben - dont you find that the proven MPG figures and the free revving qualities of this bleed device dont tempt you at all? I had one on my 214 and i got an extra 5mpg. Noticed that the revs freed up as well. The K series rover engine reacts well to them. Yes, it does lean your mixture, but if...

yellow ones look poo though. Bazz keeps droning on to me about it. Ste

You cant just slap a turbo to the side of a car and expect it to work. THeres a lot of consideration into such an engine. For example, the compression ratios will be higher for a turbo car due to the forced induction. The fueling will need to be changed to compensate for the larger air volume...

Following me are we now Mr Hoare ;) :D Ste

Quote from the website "On almost all non performance cars the first experience you will get from the CB-26P is considerably improved throttle response. Improved engine pick up is the first symptom of better more efficient combustion." "This makes acceleration smoother and more rapid and has...

yeah, theres a dodgy bloke near me whos got the same problem ;) Ste
