Well done mate, obviously put a lot of work in to it, looks like it goes hard

Are you planning something to get some colder air into the rear corner where the air cleaner is?

 

Yeah, going to do either a cold air intake or a snorkel set up

Did you do any upgrades to head?how much boost?

Engine is standard and running 7psi at the moment, still in the process of tuning it. Hope to get the tune sorted this weekend but already goes well

Keep us posted as you progress with it

Quick update, had time to do a bit of tuning, 650cc injectors are maxing out at 10psi with standard rail pressure. I have a bigger fuel pump and rising rate regulator to fit when I re install the factory fuel tank so will see how that goes. Along with the fuel supply I found the limit of the clutch at 10psi, it slips when I get full boost in 3rd and 4th so going to back the boost off to 7psi and see how much efficiency it gets compared with when it was naturally aspirated.

Sorry for yet more questions
How. Old and what clutch do you have?

So since I started this post I've had a couple of problems. One is my cast exhaust manifold cracked in half and have had to repair it for now till I have time to knock up a pipe manifold. The second is I checked the shaft play on the turbo yesterday and it has waaayyyyy too much! Chinese gt35 turbo although looks really good quality to inspect has crap bearings, gonna swap it out with a t70 my mate has and see if I can rebuild it and put some genuine garrett internals in it… if they fit haha.

Have you looked at the Mudstuck manifolds? One of them and a holset hx35 would be a goer

I have a garrett t70 which is rated at same power as thr gt35 but the turbines are slightly smaller and smaller turbine housing so should boost up faster as its hitting boost at 2500rpm now so if I can get boost at 2000rpm I'll be happy. Also going to build a tube manifold and mount the turbo a little bit further forward for more firewall clearance

Did you ever get numbers on this as far efficiency? In Canada, have a td42 that I turbo'd and the power, response, and fuel economy definitely made it worth while. Wondering if the same would be true for the tb42, if I was looking for just that (power, response, efficiency)?
Looks good. Sorry if this thread is dead.
