MNR VortX R1 Turbo with Progressive Nitrous Oxide

Well I just thought I would post some photos of my just completed Turbo & Progressive Nitrous Oxide installation on my R1 engined MNR VortX

I've still got to set the fuelling up, with the AFR Wideband kit thats fitted, but it seems to run well even before I have got it set bob on.

Just waiting to pick a bracket up from the powder coaters for the rear of the enourmous silencer & I can go for a drive, I'm well chuffed & cant bloody wait

Some modifications to the cam timing & lowered compression, for the time being the boost is set at 9-10psi max until I fit the carrillo H-beam chromolly con rods I've just got & forged pistons.

The car weighs aprox 475Kg, so will see well in excess of 500bhp per tonne without the nitrous & in excess of 600bhp per tonne with a modest progressive 50 shot of Nitrous. More once Ive fitted the rods and forged pistons.

It started out as an idea to do it all on the cheap, but before I even started that went out the window & ended up costing a bloody fortune cos almost everything was bought brand new & there was a fair old bit of work involved, seemed like I was living in the garage, but its worth it in the end.

Heres some of the spec:

Garrett GT28RS roller bearing turbo
Tial MV-S 38 wastegate
Tial 50mm Blow off Valve
Big Alloy intercooler
Alloy plenum with Direct port Nitrous oxide crossfire injectors
Stainless 316L Turbo manifold
Apexi AVC-R Boost controller
AFR Wideband kit
Phormula KS3 Knock analyser
MSD Digital RPM window switch
Oil scavenge pump
Mocal Oil cooler
All Aeroquip & silicone hoses
Huge exhaust silencer
Wizards of Nos Nitrous Oxide direct port injection with a Maximiser Race progressive controller & dual purge
etc etc etc

That looks like an awesome install. love the turbo showing. It looks like a right angry beast in the last pic. Think you will need some man size pampers when its at full throttle.
Well done though.

That is pure filth - I love it! That last shot is awesome!

How long has it taken you, and if you don't mind, what has it cost you so far...?

Had a good look at fitting nitrous oxide to my v8 Viento but after talking to my insurance company decided the cost of the insurance was too much.

Whats your insurance like ?

That'll be a banshee when you let loose

Impecible build by the looks of it and I really like the interior layout and the exposed turbo too.

Hi nice job

any internal work or comp lowered for all that power??

i can vouch with turbo like that you will not be dissapointed, almost double the power,

good luck and yes sort the afr before you open the taps up, anything past 12 on full boost is not good i run at 11-11.5

cheers and nice job again

From start to finish the conversion has taken me approx 9-10 weeks of a few hours nearly every night and all day saturday & sundays.

Cost just over £6K inc all the nitrous gear, which was just under £2K alone, but I wanted all good quality stuff.

David the Phormula KS3 Knock analyser is a real good piece of kit, Ive had one previously on another car & is really good when increasing boost levels and detecting detonation before it occurs

No I've not driven it yet Dave, just waiting to pick up a bracket for the exhaust from the powder coaters on Friday then I can give it a run at the weekend, just as long as its not raining.

Stock internals at the moment with compression lowered from 11.8:1 down to approx 10:1 & slotted sprockets fitted to alter cam timing, plus an adjustable ignition advancer to retard the ignition (mainly for the nitrous). Colder spark plugs in there too.

Ive got some carrillo rods ready to go in soon & going to get some forged pistons too.

I changed my mind about fitting the 12R motor & thought it would be better to Turbo the R1 instead
