zx10r Turbo update
INDY BIRD - 8/7/09 at 08:48 PM

Hi all

just a quick update

turbo kit and engine installed all running now just some minor mods needed to do before i can drive on the road,

also fitting the 3.14 lsd this weekend so should make it more drivable?

sounds great and i hope will deliver upto my expectations?

still cant wait for the first drive but will have to run it in for 500 miles before i can really open the taps, that will be Hard to resist

some pics attached to give you an idea how its comming together,

Cheers

Hi thanks

The intercooler is a cosworth 4x4 but modified to 600mm to fit in the nose cone area,

I will be also addding a carbon scoop to the nose cone to aid the air through it,

Thanks again

Hi Joe

yep its from velocity racing in the us,

muzzys also do a kit also,

quality looks good and should hopefully give some significant power increase aswell,

all internals been done on the engine also so fingers x

cheers

Who made your inlet? Just had a look at it in your photo archive.

That will blow up like a baloon with a bit of pressure in it. Its a really poor shape. What thickness/grade sheet have they used? Looks like 2mm or less.

Wow what a difference!!

I just read the linky from the first one made

What a difference. Been on their site before thought they looked OK...obviously not!


imp paul - 9/7/09 at 01:34 PM

yes mate its bad real bad as you can see


garage19 - 10/7/09 at 07:20 AM

Paul,

Out of interest. What did they charge you for that?


INDY BIRD - 10/7/09 at 12:52 PM

hi all

this was my post on my car with no issues so if you want to go slating someone do it else where,

I think its damm rude to high jack a post,
i am sorry you have issues paul but perhaps take it up with malc if you havent already,

from experience i have had good and bad service from many suppliers during the 10+ years of doing kit cars so i guess you can only go with who you trust or from own experience,

Im sure there are many with the same experiences also with other bec turbo companies i have had this but dealt with it myself and was a very well known company i will never use again but thats my deccission,

i wish you luck with resolving the issue but please continue your rant on the linked thread

Thanks

sean
