This equals one step closer to my hybrid. Cheap £50 off Ebay. Exhaust vanes are damaged but otherwise seems fine. Will give it in part exchange to Turbo Technics.

6.2kg. Turbos are heavy.

Wow ! Is it cast iron ?

 

[Sexypink]

I like! does look heavy though yah you!

Fitted Osram Nightbreakers. Clearly brighter, and a little whiter.

Osram bulbs before

What horse power are you running these days? And more interesting since its diesel, what torque?

 

[edk]

107whp, and 205ft/lbs @ the fly - at a recent Power Engineering group run.

 

[NNissan]

Got no base for comparison against WHP. You know the BHP mate?

 

[edk]

131.2bhp

 

[Darchitect]

Horse power is irrelevant with this beast, it's all TorqueTorque from the CarSmokeDieselHouse lol

 

[stufagti]

nice turbo there matey, im sure TT will give you a nice discount with that

the exhaust housing is cast iron, and the inlet housing is ally, like most turbos

Here's a larger pic of the avatar. Love it

 

[stufagti]

looks like it could do with some more lowerig at the back in that pic there ed?
or do you have the bigger profile tire on the bk?

 

[edk]

You asked that before dude. Still running 205/55 on the rear and 205/50 on the front. So when the rears wear out I'll stick 205/50 on and it should level out . At the moment if I lower the rear the tyres will tuck too far into the arch for my liking and when people sit in the back it would rub.

 

[stufagti]

i thought so

 

[edk]

Yes. You can see in this pic that the arch is perfect but rear is higher due to profile - http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm117/edkeating/Car/Almera/IMG_1393.jpg

 

[stufagti]

do you reckon you'll need to make some small adjustments to your rear coilies when you put new tires on?
just the lowering or spring rate too?

 

[edk]

Might need to drop the rear a few mm to meet the top of the tyre again. Just lowering. It's not close to bottoming out or anything. Might do the Ross (was it?) mod of strapping some silicone hose over the top of the beam to dull any knocking sounds should it make contact.
