T. Turbo is back

[T.Trophy]

Just another quick update, the circlip on the diff has given up

So at least we know whats the weakest part of the gearbox LOL Rather than simply fitting another one I'm looking at ways to strengthen it. My options are fit a Quaife or there is modificationn to convert to a bolt in diff instead of the circlip. My only concern is that if I strengthen the diff maybe something else will go instead. Guess theres only one way to find out

Could be worth giving Agency Transmission services a call, they have a few "mods" for these boxes..

Thats whats happened to mine with a bolt in diff. Something has come loose inside, rattles internally on idle and I get an almighty screech when downshifting into 3rd

Still works mind, but it will need sorting over winter!

 

[Leeshez]

Wow that is some power.

 

[Hutchie]

iirc Steve's running the DCi box

 

[f0xy]

Yeah im sure I heard him mention the box wasnt the original at Mallory

 

[stuart1989]

Cant imagine what this is like to drive, mines abit mental with 240bhp, nice work mate

 

[Ali]

jesus! that must fairly go!!

 

[scotty2hotty81]

Yes he is running a dci box, steve i would just replace the clip and spacer for now to get you back on the road, i did the same in my first 172, easy job and it never failed again, alot of people say it will just pop out again but im sure if fitted properly it will be fine.

 

[clio_luke]

:hail: mental!
awesome work mate!

 

[R20 CWH]

400bhp yet?

 

[Fagan]

video?

 

[480bhp.com]

Nice work Steve, So what is the traction like with 370+ BHP and FWD
Having been in the car when it was around the 250bhp mark i'm sure it's a right little pocket rocket now

I need to get the Rs6 on the rollers at some point, let me know the next time your going too RS and i'll pop up for a run and a look round the Trophy.

Care to explain? Or is it secret for now? :quiet:

 

[RSTuning]

I'll leave that one for steve. It includes a new turbo and manifold though!

Kind of power? 450ish?

 

[RSTuning]

Well mine is on a similar turbo and makes 485 at 1.7 bar, the turbo will flow most at 2.2 bar....

 

[Dan1587]

Pfffttt, that is mental!

Be good to see some videos, I can't really get my head around how fast this thing must be!

 

[RSTuning]

I think he's coming to FCS with it
