soooo, u gonna show us this then ??? lol
im keen to see both of them going hard and hear about how you built it etc

also
tyre, is/was that your setup?? if so, how come the piping to the turbo is so huge. i understand how one works and all that but wont you get a lot of lag
from that long length? was it so the turbo was right near the grill for fresh air?
just wondering is all.

I am looking at getting back into this project again... Only thing is I am looking at putting it into an old 1000 Coupe I have out the back of the shed. Reason being is the Sunny I was going to use wont die!! Plus having factory AC that works Im keen to keep it running as a second car... Im trying to do the whole project for under $1000... not sure if I can...???

The car is currently consuming space behind the shed and is too far gone to restore... With mag wheels, gearbox, ods and sods and no diff Im putting the car down as perhaps $200 worth... what do you guys think... more or less...???

I have included some photos of the turbo I am going to use from the twin turbo Legacy. I have also included some photos of the 1000 Coupe I will put it in...

i reckon thats a good size for a low boost turbo a12 running draw through. I have found that when the turbo wheels stops spinning eg, big turbo on little motor at idle that fuel likes to puddle in the compressor housing causing a rich stumble on quick throttle opening after idling. Im following this project with much interest!

OctaneR

you still got some turbo manifolds?

Is there cell or landline number? e-mail addy?

HUMUNGOUSLY LARGE bump right here.
what happened topgear?

Just looking At these pics you can see how big the hotbox flange is on the A14 manifold. If your were to affix say a 20mm plate, then bolt a turbo to that plate. The A14's have a way larger flange than the A12 ones.

Hi cheater.... Yea its still in the pipeline...

Ive made an executive decison that I need to finish my first car first!
Ive done some major mods to the cars suspension etc, but I dont want to say to much till its near completion...

I still want to finish the std A12 J-pipe project though. I like the challenge of making something out of nothing, I learnt a lot from my first car so know how to make the second turbo set-up more streetable...

aww cumon topgear, i aswell as many im sure would love to hear more on the turbo side of things. Much inspiration. I think all of us who read these threads think, dammit IM going to make one
