Cool, I've got two spares so I'll send you one over to replace your spare and cover your costs, least I can do. I'm a bit of a turbo noob but aren't most turbos oil cooled, or have I made that up?

They have an oil supply to loob the bearing only. Some turbos have the facility to water cooling the cold side of the turbo but not all. I was going to try get a turbo with that facility.

Ps, I'm a turbo noob too. The only other time I've had a serious play with engines was this.

I see, can only be a good thing with our tiny engine bays, heat management issues and fibreglass bonnets. I also thought a 323 style downward turbo flanged manifold would be preferable to a upward facing on.

Again that was my thoughts. I looked at the bay and without the pas pump and with the water pump inlet modified it'll leave a gaping hole on the passenger side of the engine. It's meant to be...

Hahaha! :D

What car is that/they? My last fun car was this!


Custom 2.0ltr Corrado G60

The g60 looks superb, I bet you miss the power.

Mine was a Capri into which went various engine ultimately ending up with a 3.9 rover v8 with ported heads, balanced internals, etc and itb's. This ran a v1 megasquirt.

I did loads to it. As far as capris go it was very capable meaning still shite!

Big engine Capri, very cool, 3.9 must of been dramatic! :D I got a bit bored with the Corrado, ended up fitting a diesel gearbox to lower the wheel torque and get some traction. I decided rear wheel power was the way to go after I sold it. I think this car is faster to 90mph and a lot more fun but after that the aerodynamics of the corrado wins, it would happily cruise at 150mph, allegedly! :D

Speed isn't king in my mind anymore and acceleration is, plus you don't go to prison for accelerating too quickly! lol

p.s. I haven't been to prison!

I'm not to sure about how to fit a turbo without making a mess and braking it too so I will be avidly watching you 2

Hi,

which I believe is a typo and should be VTR325. Have you tried this part in the bushes? A lot of these items are listed on ebay as M14 x 1.5 and thelatheman bushes are listed as M16x 1.5. Which has we confused.

Same thing discussed here.
