Damo 23 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 Awesome looking build mate! But why two intercoolers? Seems quite unnecessary with a GT35R. Remember all that space takes time to fill up and time constitutes as turbo lag. Mind you its not going to be too bad seeing as the turbo is BB and your not exactly shy on the displacement side. Cant wait for the videos! Keep it coming. You are not wrong, it probably is a tad oversized. I do get fantastic intake temps though, and the pressure drop isn't really a concern with the low boost I run. Once she is tuned properly I will get a feel for the lag issue, at the moment its already a handful to drive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damo 23 Report post Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Hi all - Took some photos with the M3-ish body and skirts. Thinking of selling it now, have some other cars waiting to be re-powered, and I tend to lose interest when something works! Although I change my mind every time I get in and drive it EDIT: FYI im a crap photographer, and the bonnet is only jacked up because the new turbo is a little bigger than the first one, doesnt quite fit under (just in case you thought I was a ricer) Edited October 30, 2008 by Damo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cale 36 Report post Posted October 30, 2008 Fricken awesome, how could you sell that? Love the wheels. Where did you get the tail lights from? Theyre mint. I've only seen them in US/UK. Is there an NZ supplier? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In some of the photos they look like they dont line up with the doors that well.. maybe your doors need shimming? Good spotting - the doors are PFL door that had the mouldings filled in, that needs pulling out to line up with the guards, then the doors need to come out a mm or so to sit 100% flush. the aerodynamics havent worried me too much yet though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damo 23 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 And the numbers were?190kw and 490nm at 6psi in 4th (over 1400nm in 2nd/3rd but who knows how that works), see the power thread fro the dyno sheet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
