Well done mate! New turbo on?

[Slam Wagon]

Thank you, yup turbo and fuel pump on. No more starting issues. All seems swell.

[Tom]

Well done mate, always feels good to actually fix something!

[Slam Wagon]

Biggest job ive done on a car, theres just loads to remember, nothing was overly difficult just job after job to do. Lol

[Jtrigga]

I love that feeling after doing a big job and everything works. Always a few teething issues when I do something like that but usually fine. Well done mate.

[bigcheez2k3]

Congrats. I agree on the great feeling, firing up mine after doing my first turbo change, was happy when it worked

[Just Sean]

Amazing! Can i have a ride out when its all done!?

[Slam Wagon]

Helix, only people that would give me an actual figure when i asked what they would rate it to.


I dont even have a project thread, i suck at taking photos at the time. And i dont even have a project thread to put them in, done so much to it now.

Lighter?! Wow!

Yeah theres a definite little pop feeling then your on/off the spring, going to be different

[Frosty]

I bet you can wait to get it mapped! It should be pretty epic

[Poodle]

Awesome, willl have to take a closer look next time i see you!

[Grant]

Great success! Now get some pics up! :p

[jammapic]

Sweet... What turbo? Assume it's an r70 pump? Did you upgrade the lift pump too?

JP

[Slam Wagon]

Seans old ko3s hybrid, r70 and not yet ran out of time n money tbh. Its on the list though. Tbh it confuses me with lift pumps, havent really looked into them.

[jammapic]

So, 180-190hp then. Will be sweeet!

I ran 189hp and 358lbft on a GT17 hybrid, a similar kind of size. I actually made a bit more power at the top end by messing around with a few other bits - but that was the best and most solid / repeatable number.

JP

[Slam Wagon]

Will have to wait and see, not looking for max power from it but a decent number thats fairly reliable.

[procta]

its a pure buzz when a car fires up for you for the 1st time! now the fun starts!

[Dum-Dum]

Good work mate, this is why this forum needs a like button.

[Slam Wagon]

Rep will do haha

[Just Sean]

I'm so hard for this! And for you! You'll love the noise the screamer pipe makes. Its crazy good!! Specially in a big tunnel. People will hear you coming. Actually. Can I buy it back please?!

Excited about hearing your figures with the uprated pump too!

[jammapic]

Is this still the turbo Brynllwynog2 was running before he went for the big VNT?
