my tb is b4 charger so having it there would make no difference would it?
i dont know crap bout boosted cars but let me near a 202 and watch it turn into a demon like no other
having boost creates so many problems

[VN_Luke]

j-mac! if your t/b is before the charger, then you don't need a blow off valve... as there's no positive pressure that's going to get trapped between the charger and the butterfly....

as for your map sensor, and fuel pressure reg, they should be connected to the elbow on the intake manifold...

you might wanna hook your brake booster up between the t/b and the charger so you get vacuum all the time.

good luck!

oh and i took the exhaust off the vp because a 3" twin cat exhaust would seem a bit excessive on an lpg powered beast

update on the car, i've sprayed the bonnet, it's got some 15" alloys.. looks a bit more respectable now.

yeh thats what i thought but when i change gears it revs cos all the air trapped in intercooler pipes

are you able to make a thread about your car on here? im interested in seeing your setup

[VN_Luke]

I was going to do this t/b before charger setup, but i was worried that this might happen.

your solution is to put another throttle body where it usually would be...

then link the two t/b's together with some kind of super-magical linkage/cable arrangement

then you could run a blow off valve for the extra air in the pipes, or just keep the air in there so when you open the throttle you get a MASS of air at once (could be fun!).

after reading that im a little hesitant about putting a throttle body before the charger. i planned on doing that. would also mean i would have to go back to using a pod filter

this is the same problem FIT has with their intercooler setup's on the l67's

Since the last part of this cars life is missing due to JC's epic fail crash some time ago. I've added some pictures of the turbo setup from the foam archive system for those of you that missed al the fun

Planing


More excellent MS/PaintCAD work


Ancient Holset Turbo


Chopped up Y pipe for turbo pipes


Installed at 8-10? PSI running 5 flatish to 60 mph


Also :^: )


Total cost about $1200 ?

You have been busy lol, why ditch the SC 14? did it shit itsself?

[greenfoam]

Luke sold the SC14 because he bought the VN (for the RB30) then sometime while driving the VP as a NA daily got bored and stuck this turbo on it. Which was for experiments and learning about turbos

[Bz Kn33z]

missed page 4 thanx anyway haha, never seen this thread always wanted to look at it, top job he did

[PaRaDoX]

fyi i wasnt the driver of that epic crash fail :P but the motor did live... it made its way into a red vn from benalla and i think he had some fun with it... i saw it on ebay a while ago...

[savage1987]

Awesome work Jason. Seeing the pipework in those pics gives me some confidence that it's quite possible to achieve a setup like this on a relatively low budget.. it will be a great experiment even if it fails!!
