PERFORMANCE
At the moment 188Bhp 140kw dynoed at the wheels at Torque performance in Auckland on 18psi estimated 250hp at engine. 15.0 at Meremere with pump gas and shit tires. Fairly confident will hit 14's as soon as I put new tires on. Raced at Pukekohe before it was injected no times recorded.
PREVIOUS MODS
I brought the car as a pretty rough runner, most panels were rusty as the car was in various shades of primer and was not looked after, the main reason I brought it was because it had factory 2.8inj interior and all underneath was rust free and straight, I replaced every panel that I could, my mate (Richie, big thanks) gave it a quick lick of paint to keep it going for a little while. I got some wheels, sorted suspension and drove it for about 6 months before blow through turboing it with some help from my flat mate ( Brendan at Nite parts and Lance). I blew a couple of blocks up (ring landings cracked big chunks out), and eventually got a new block made up as described above. I went through all the dramas and got it legally certified for being turboed as well. Since then I had no problems with the blow through setup after until I boosted it over 10psi , and eventually after pushing the limits with jetting and fuel setups was restricted with the fact that the float bowl was too small and emptying quicker than it could be filled through the needle valve. From there I made up injection manifold after e-mailing (harassing) Tizzy for info, and came up with my setup. I have been pretty happy with the new setup since.
FUTURE MODS
Bigger turbo( More boost), strut brace, tidy body, re spray engine bay, oil breather. Get anti-lag setup on the Link. I have also purchased a 3l radiator and will hopefully get around to re-coring it soon with a 3 row setup instead of my STD 2 row 2l radiator.
