nice on, sounds like alot of fun. like the injection idea, good fuellings essential in a turbo.

oldskoolbaby, you havent got anymore T2's by any chance have you?

[Pandora]

Yes i know but i think he may just want to supply engine and other bits but i wont know till i meet with him.

[Oldskoolbaby]

Ive still got this new one. Ive only got the 1 though.

"Hi,

Ive already had a request from a guy who wants to build excactly the same engine,
I think it would work fine, But we are already getting 210bhp from the 5 port using the S.U carb so i would not expect a massive increase.

Simon "


This was a reply i got from Simon today about this Project.

Is that simon from Morspeed? I was speakin to him at his shop to day and he has completly turned me towards the turbo route again. He was speaking of some fellas 210bhp turbo that was hittng 60 in 3.8 seconds and could *yellow human water* all over his 400bhp 7 seires. Me want! me want! Sorry to say it Pandora, looks like your not going to be the only 7 Port Turbo around. Im going to follow those drawings I put up. Working it out, its gunna be cheaper to turbo it than fit twin webers, all the linkages, billet trumpets and four air filter socks. I dont think its gunna be as trick as yours as Im not going for fuel injection. Im just gunna make it plain and simple with the T2, MIRAGE manifold and HIFF 44 Su.

Looks like we're going to be in a very exclusive club though mate lol

[Pandora]

lol yeh well Mbe race engines will probably sort mine out all of it hopefully, they seem willing enough, well we will have to meet like i said when they are finished. Maybe have a little section on here LOL :tongue: :grin:

[Oldskoolbaby]

Yeah that'd be cool. Something like the Mentalist section or the Xtreme zone lol Ive seen the Mirage manifold I want. Its just a shame its £350. Mind you, when the head costs over a grand, it doesnt seem that bad :nugget:

[Pandora]

True lol but cant you just use the old metro inlet etc

[ed4ran]

But then he'll need to put in a bulk head box.

[Pandora]

Got ya (deeeeeeerrrrrrrr) :nugget:

[Oldskoolbaby]

not only that but Im going to use a T2. Id have to modify the manifold to suit. Id rather have something made for the job. And have you seen the quality of it?

[Engine_tuner]

You have gotta be quick gettin it sorted then guys!!

Ive now had 3 definate orders for 7 port turbo engines, All to be finished buy mid january.

2 using S.U carbs and the other on throttle bodies with webber alpha injection.

[Oldskoolbaby]

How cool is this :grin: We ent the only nutters around Pandora. Im not rushing for nothing. I want it to be perfect straight out of the crate. what sort of power are these boys looking for then?

[Engine_tuner]

Well i cant say to much but.....

one of the engines is for a guy who currently runs a 220bhp 5 port turbo motor,
He just wants to see if it will make much more difference, Altho he is very doubtfull himself ????

Strange, but hey its only money.

[Oldskoolbaby]

I was thinking of selling the head today and going for the usuall 5 port but I think with this set up it will be more drivable and not require so much boost to get big power. This is why Im using the T2. Im gunna have a fair few more brake over a 5 port before Ive even started
