We believe the issue stems from the design of the KKR turbo. I'm sure Jack can shed a little more light on the specifics as he spoke to a workshop that deals with them quite a bit, but in 25 words or less, the position of the internal wastegate necessitates a split pulse dump pipe - a fact that we learnt the hard way. The standard, conventional, 3.5in dump pipe that we've had fabricated is causing turbulence which in turn is causing boost control issues as the wastegate is trying to open but meeting opposition and as such doesn't know whether it's coming or going! As you can imagine, this is f*cking with our program when it comes time to tune the thing! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What figure actually came up on the dyno lol

Certainly not anything indicative of the calibre of the parts, or the money spent!

150rwkw?

close i dont think the power figure is that bad liam but depends how much boost it was seeing i guess! at least its not the end of the world and these things can be fixed Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yes, few more things to tweek and sup 220rwkw Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You're right, I could get hung up on this or I could just pull out of my driveway tonight and dump the clutch at 5 grand! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

liam why stress i spoke to the chicken he said it has an easly 100 more then what it made so click your feet together and get it back down there when ya ready brother Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol i like the clutch dump theory

Only 5 grand though... 2nd gear isn't going to happen with that attitude mate!!!

If you're thinking i do, you're mistaken lol

LOL i went from the old chev cos i needed the money, but this motor will make more power, smaller stall etc. Sounds better too It's not just a stock injected 5L minus the injection anymore Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Tell me more..

its nothing outrageous but it will make for good cruising. That old chev was thirsty, ran hot and was underpowered! Im not touching this motor too much in anticipation of what comes next Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

saw this thing at cfc, looking good liam... love your overflow bottle its looking pretty much complete what else has to be done to it

Damn you, Alex! Thanks for the props, patch. Spewing I didn't see yours on the day, am keen to see it all put back together! have to fix the gearbox now after the drive home from the cruise, do a few more things to the bay, get my Berlina pinstripe on and a few other medial things, but the hardest stuff is out of the way Was good to have it back out after so long! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

liam we weren't supposed to drive them till 2012 oh well looks like ill have to send mine to maatouk in 2-3 weeks to finish it :P Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
