(SHOW TIME )project number 3 twin turbo ( SHOW TIME )

[Dave]

f*ck me that block looks spectacular.

As other folk have said, if its going to reach its full potential with 2x blowers, the stock/HDi rods will not last long.

Really would be worth putting them in now to save the hassle later.

Awaiting the 'f*ck blew me block' thread 400 miles later.

Get what you saying though, if you dont have them right now, it certainly isn't gonna stop you bolting things together and start tinkering

[pioneer DJ paddy]

Hello again dave :-) ye  I no wat use are all saying like I am still on the look out if I can't get sum theeeeen might just keep the hdi rods and make sure people don't get to close  

All ready sent £200 on new seals and main bearings timing belt and head gasket and a set of valve's so need to get more money saved for the rods time will tell 

[Toms306]

Makes me wish I had a cousin with a powder coating business lol!!

Looks awesome, I'd never want to drive it and get it dirty (or holey) though lol.

[Piggy]

£200 on all that sounds cheap tbh...

But just consider...if a rod goes...could munch the head and those new valves...back to square one.

Best waiting...saving...and doing it right imho.

Tiz why my 16v project is so slow going.tbh

Ye that's wat I plan to do   engine is over heating any way so just need it to get to test and back then it can shit its self for all I Care :-) 

One  I would like to no thow the ecu in this wat does it do is it more for the abs and stuff coz there is very little the ecu could be doing to a dw8 . could I do away with it

having just spend half an hour educating myself around differing turbo set ups, I can only assume you are going to be running a sequential system, or advancing that further, staged turbo charging?

either way, hats off to you. Looing forward to the result of that although I share others concerns about rods through blocks etc!

Any idea on boost pressures, how you are going to control it all etc?

Ye its should be twin turbo compound like the last one only better this time not that worryed about the rods for nw all thow it is something I am looking in to 

Going to try to control the turbo's with 2 boost controllers :-) if all works out

[pioneer DJ paddy]
