It does sound like pinging. Whats the front wheel / shaft like on the turbo?

car is in jpc's hands now, so hopefully they can give me some answers and sort it out. the turbo is brand new and has done about 15 km's on the road.. most of those km's to jpc.. let ya's know how i go.. should get it back tommorrow

Running a GT35/40 with a 1.06 rear housing is also going to put your engine under extreme stress. It's only a matter of time, till something will break. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I didn't just bolt on a turbo, lol. I built the motor 1500km's ago, fully forged, balanced etc.. big head work, oversized stainless valves, match ported, tx2 cam etc, big fuel system etc.. running through a 2 speed.. i hope nothing breaks... (again! lol). anybody care to take a guess at how much power she will make?

320 rwkw

hopefully.. that would be nice. running roughly 18 psi on bp ultimate?

290rwkw

need more boost huh? mmmm....

Wouldnt go much over 21-22 psi on pump fuel. Depands what the auto takes away from it. Every ones car will read differently remember, depending on dyno and smaller factors in the setup. As long as its tuned well, you should be happy, see what it runs on the 1/4.

yeah, the car has been built with one simple goal in mind.. run a 10 on pump juice. i.e run a ten that day, take it home, change wheels and cruise that night.. time will tell. is there anything i need that i haven't mentioned? thanks for all the replies
