Arp bolts make that much difference? 7900 is danger danger isnt it? im not sure what the limit ison mine cos it sounds like a plane!! Next up is a diff for me, just been out for 2 hours and its all over the place, steering gets unbelievably light and spins far to much.

 

[bloke]

well it's set to that and hasn't gone wrong yet!!

might have a torsen diff to sell soon if you're interested? bought it for one of mine but doing vag box instead.

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Im after one that wont need any maintenance if this is one i can just stick in and leave it alone?

Also thought about vag box for when i hopefully go high boost at some point

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Ah its the pms one right? Thats the one im after

 

[bloke]

yup, it's fit and forget.

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Just a sneak peek at my brand new engine and sm inlet.

@notfastnotfurious strange you are getting so much wheel spin and dodgy steering, is that just in 1st and second gear ? Be careful with wheelspin as that is what will kill your gearbox quickest. My turbo 182 is pretty good with wheelspin, its well worth getting decent tyres if you havent already.

Im also considering using the SM Inlet on my turbo but the intercooler piping going to the sm inlet concerned me. do you have a 180 degree bend going in to your inlet ?

The steering is hard to control in 2nd and 3rd around the 5-6k rpm range, ive let my mrs have a go and she has the same problem with it, i have epas and pro race 3 alloys which are mega light, im gona turn the steering down so it gets heavier and hope that helps. Ill be weary of 1st gear wheel spins now. That engine looks real nice, not jealous, honest ha. Ill go out now n try get some pics, only got my ipad and s its huge so ill see where i can sqeeze it in

[bloke]

how's your geometry? when you start chucking more torque into the pot then bad set up can make the car bloody awful to drive to say the least.

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Apart from the tracking being done not too many miles ago, theres no vibrations from the steering or wheels so as far as im aware im all ok. If thats what you meant.

 

[bloke]

camber, caster, top mounts all ok etc?

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Havent had camber checked no, whats ? I got pms top mounts and their brace

 

[bloke]

could just be torque and tyres then? what tyres you running?

 

[notfastnotfurious]

T1rs, dont hate me ha, gona get ad08r asap,
