[mc funbot]

a vr6 clutch? what minifold are you running that with, 3" system is a little tight but more than doable, any thing i can help with just ask..

 

[mk1kid]

Yes mate had it a long time lol n yeh funbot I read all your thread very nice project you have done the manifold is ATP yesterday I managed to mock up intercooler hoses just bad weather means work is slow etc hopefully today going to solder resistor into the sai plug and extend charcoal filter wires to tuck away somewhere I really will chuck up loads of pics this weekend as meant to be nice weather

 

[mc funbot]

If ya need owt just ask! Sure you got it covered. I didn't brace my turbo 1st time an the Mani cracked due to weigh.

 

[fourtwofive]

come on dude if your spending this much get the real deal!
eliminator kits suck and can be very laggy and crap even when setup properly. my honest opinion

i take it all back if im wrong just hurd bad things when poeple mention eliminator.

 

[tom w]

Is it just me or is there no mention of forged rods which are a known weak spot on these engines when hunting for big power ?!

Lets all wait for mc funbot response haha

 

[mc funbot]

THEY SUCK!! Jokes no for my driving awesome on the motor way pulling over 300 miles on a tank of boost. Yes they lag a little once I'm over 2k it's just go go go.lad local to me has a ihi he just spins but I don't! They sound great. But I can see what you meen. But that's in my eyes I love it!

 

[mk1kid]

It has h beam rods and Mahle pistons sorry I didn't put it on spec before also having a crank knife edged this week and has arp head bolts I looked into turbo kits for a while and gt28 kit seemed the best I don't mind bit of lag anyway like funbot says it just spins if not each to there own but if it's crap il upgrade again it's only my weekend toy as got a Evo 9 for my daily runner but it's each to there own I've also got my eyes on a sem inlet mani

 

[mk1kid]

You got any pics of your turbo brace funbot pm me as I need to sort one for mine

 

[fourtwofive]

Nice one as long as your happy that's what matters I got a contact for a sem if your interested
