What do you think your 0-60/0-100 times be at 375bhp mate? Would love to know for sure at a guess would be better than not knowing at all.

Intresting project, i'v had a quick read put i'm going to read it in detail later or tomorrow.

This section must be my favourite of the whole forum list, really intersting.

0-60 maybe not that good, because of wheel spin.
hopefully something around 5 sec.
0-120mph maybe around 15sec.
60-120mph 10sec or under that is my goal.

I hope my weight saving gives me some potential to reach those goals.

we will see.

with 375-400 bhp you will piss under 10 secs 60-120
since fitting my new exhaust system, (I believe i now have around 320ish bhp) i timed 60-100 in 5.7 secs!! i'd imagine 120 would have come round in less than 8!!

i agree 0-60 is a problem!! i'm prob around 5 secs now i'd say, keeping wheel spin to a minimum!
I'm not the best a launching tho laugh

to reach those goals don't think you'll need any weight saving to be honest!!
I'm prob 50kg over standard with all the amps and speakers i'm running in my car, and i pretty confident i could achieve all the above goals NOW!!

its amazing to think that only about 1.5 secs is slashed from the 0-60 comparing mine to standard 16vt.... yet a massive 6 seconds off the 60-100 time!!

I have been making some new intecooler pipes to the mitsu turbo.
from turbo to intercooler, its gonna be the standard coupes silicone outlet pipe, then 2.5" 70 degree aluminium pipe ( 45cm long ) to 90 degree silicone pipe.

from intercooler to TB :
90 degree aluminium pipe (other leg is longer )
to the original metalpipe from fiat, and 45 degree silicone pipe to TB .

so total: only 3 pieces of 90degree elbows. and one 45 degree and 70 degree...should be good with the spooling also.

first thing was :
after 3km driving there was a big hole on my boostpipe.. laugh
it was the hmm how I said it right...
engine running solenoid/ventil or something, that is next to the engine and battery..
it flyes away... have to make there some better system next.

now have been driving around 200km, and everything is ok..

boost is only 0.8bar, but goes prettty well..
100-140kmh is around 4 sec, looked at speedmeter..
fuelling : 11.9 l / 100km first test laugh

Just been looking through your pics, the car looks amazing. I love the dash, how did you achieve the tan/beige lower section on the dash, looks great?

That turbo's a big one! Excuse my ignorance, but what is the big lump of kit above your manifold?

It's looking really good, keep the pictures coming.

I have had a little problem with my car..
I´m have been waiting one oilhose for 3weeks..
(silicone outside, good for oil use, and heat+ 90degree )
coming from England, ebay..
information said; over 10 available, delivery to Finland 4-6 days..
NOT...

I asked after 9 days, where the hell is my hose.. answer was :
in special orders, it takes around 4 weeks..
what hell, this was not special, if there is over 10 still available, and delivery is max 6 days..
well.. still I have to wait, because it takes same time if
I know start to order here in Finland..
censored.. grr
hopefully, next week I can use my coupe again.

back for my turbo..

I have to say.. that mitsubishi turbo is the best, what I have ever used..
with G-tech RR on dynorun mode, it tells me, that best torque is with that 0.8bar 2800rpm -->
2000rpm is normal torque, then 2500rpm is already 100nm more!
I believe, that with this turbo, and 1.4bar boost, it should be very fast on track.. and very good everyday use..
if using standard cams, it should give you around 330-350hp, debend, have you done headwork.
then with other cams, you can have over 400hp, with still very good low down power/torque

I have done some measuring with G-tech pro RR and
I have about 275ps / 370nm 1.1bar with cat still there.
original cat...

and problem is, that boost starts to rise, so have to stop measuring around 5500rpm ..

so far, feels good.
just have to take a look at the wastegate, if its not opening enough ..

just to let everyone know, G-tech is pretty good measuring horses, when you do it right..

my ex alfa was 5hp difference, between RR and G-tech.

Sorry to hear you have a wrecked a head. Did you turn the engine over by hand first before trying to run it?

I bet none of the people who advised you about cams and pulleys have actually ever had those setups on their own cars! A painfully important lesson there; when reading advice on a forum, if it's not from first-hand experience it ain't worth squat!

BTW I use a Tipo 16V inlet cam and pulley no problem, so this will definitely work. Anyway, the 'proper' way to do it is with vernier pulleys and time it up on the dyno.

yes, glad I have the spear head at home..

I´m going use next time standard cams, but headwork done, larger injectors and goals for 340-350hp.

after that I save some money for C&B cams .
so no more problems ..

I use NA cams, turbo pulleys and standard turbo timing, like have been said, and done actually..
at least here in Finland..
but ;
I didnt know the history of my car, so it could be, that someone had already done headwork, etc, dont know the pistons what are inside, so
its my fault, because I didnt try to turn the engine, before I start ..

it seems that only the intake valves have got some damage.

so the 228 / 8.6mm turbo intake cam on exhaust side is ok..

have to put some pictures after I got it away from the enginebay.

hopefully tomorrow I will get the head to the doctor laugh ( the spear head )
