T4 : Battle Across Time (2010 to present)

[Fruitbat]

The only two decent cars there are the Porsche and the rs Capri , the Capri is in storage as it was last on the road in 2016 , I used my contacts in the rsoc

Back to build thread dribble , received my Greddy turbos today, these are upgrade units for the original R34 Nissan GT-R's. Still keeping the T20/T25 exhaust housing but using upgraded high quality Japanese castings to run much larger turbines and compressors. These are the smaller 0.8 A/R units (2 types). No water cooling as the oil housings are modified apparently to cool and lubricate better. Greddy have sent me the boost map profiles and they're good from 100bhp to 380bhp (@27.5psi) each and both are paired if I decide to go twin turbo @ some mad moment.

They're not VNT. Why - because to get these to spoil up quickly you have to run rich AFR's and the VNTs nozzles simply clog with the lower pressured fuel delivery compared to more modern diesels. I'm working on a high pressured pump which will roll out for 2024 & just before diesel gets banned as a fuel source.

These need cleaning up, rebuilding and balancing with new shafts and turbines which are available in 9,10,11 & 12! blade for race hooligan mode (ideal for my crappy diesel van needing to quickly spool up!)

Here's some turbo info & figures for us nerdy types.
Compressor: 48.1 / 68mm
Turbine: 56 / 49.1mm

You mean the parts bins that scimitars came from? [emoji23]

Exactly, pick the beat bits of each,,,,
Not exactly perfect but best of a bad bunch.
Chassis and suspension came from lotus engineer's

Nice, should coincide nicely with Turks lights.....maybe.

Just a few 1969 cars.... feel free to add your own favorites - 50 years fifty!!!

I'd have the Capri and the Maxi for a laugh and gladly crush the rest.

Looks like a scene from my shed that Rob.

It's one of those years where drugs, the free spirit and the moon landing affected style and design.

Little test on the rust removers started this afternoon. Distilled white vinegar.

Left overnight, & given a wipe over with kitchen towel.
Twenty four hours later it's cleaned this up nicely.

Ordered 2Kg of Citric Acid Crystals (E330).
Arrived this morning....

Chucked 50g in the kettle to descale it.
The packet label instructs to boil for 5-10minutes. You can hear it going to work and smell a lovely citrus odour.

Just a dump of some info I found on designing and building your own manifold.
