Well at last got the bugger on the road at last tax and mot today got my vortex alloys on looking good she's running at 20psi at the mo nice and steady no boost spikes just goona sort of run it in for a bit drives nice







And got me pressed plates on just waiting for my wind deflectors and mist
Jets

Winning mike glad to see it finally on the road, looks ace on them wheels too

[Piggy]

That looks sweeeeet

Think I'll go hide my pathetic attempt at a decent 306 now

Thanks chap yours looks good will be good to c yours for the first time at fcs

[Frosty]

Some top work this is mike. Really glad you got it on the road and all happy with it. Looks great with the wheels!

You now just need to sort a manly horn to go with the manly turbo!

Yep it goes well vnt it different it's like a switch instant boost and wheel spin lol still need fair bit of playing but it puts a smile on your face and the noise is epic

Well done a few hundred miles in it now it's still running like a dream been playing with pump and vnt stuff pretty happy with performance bit lethal in the wet wheel spinning in 3rd going round corners lol

Done a few bits to it other night replaced rear window seals got a bit wet the other night fitted my tinted fogs and mist jets went up to frostys and put on the ramp to sort the knocking exhaust thanks mr frost just got to not blow it up before fcs ( bit hard to stay of boost to much fun )

[Piggy]

What RPM does full boost kick in??

[mikey b]

Full boost is bout 2k just after still in the process of setting the vain stop up and mbc just trying to keep egt and emp low but it don't help that my egt decided to brake already serves me for being cheap and getting a crap gauge lol

[mikey b]

Well it made it to fcs and back with no probs apart from think my cheap boost pressure switch is no good will sort that out before pugfest may even take it out on track next year lol got a few pics of it on the stand don't lol to bad I don't think

[zx_volcane]

such a tidy install, engine bay is lovely

[Piggy]

Looked really tidy pal at FCS!

May I ask the purpose of that switch again? You said it was stopping the surges from the VNT??

I may run my VNT with a boost can initially while I save up, then figure out how to run Arduino!!

I am using a boost can as well just switching the boost to it with a solenoid valve rather than a mbc but still need to play with it some more are you going to pugfest if so will ave a good chat to you bout it there nice to meet you by the way

[Piggy]

Yeah I will be there...

Hoping to get it on for Pugfest see. I wont have time to sort Arduino but I have all the plates ready to cut and weld, and a spare boost can too. So an evenings work and I will have it on, but I need it to be good for long journeys, so bit worried about surging and emps etc

whats the advantage of the solenoid valve then mate?

[Niall]

This was one of my favourite cars on our stand at fcs. Looks lovely mate!

Thanks means a lot hope to get a few bits done before pugfest would like to take it up the hill but will c if I can get some good tyres on my cyclones as the 17s were shit on the track at the slow speed we were doing lol

It just stops the bleed valve having to bleed so much for it to move I was having surging probs but after talking to Darren and (Tom zx volcan )
I think I need to play with the arm setting in the boost can

[silverzx]

Looked tidy at FCS and sounded all-reet too!

Bit late but thanks

Small update still driving fine haven't do many miles in it since fcs
Think there are a few bits to do after pugfest like bigger intercooler
Sort out the annoying exhaust rattle
Mr lobb has now got my 11mm all sorted and some Ninja mods in the pump
And then get the
Bugger on the rollers

[mikey b]

Quick little update made it to pugfest all fine wernt brave enought to go up the hill crap tyres lol but was a good day will go up next year

Managed to get the 11mm on over the week end thanks to Darren for building it with some ninja mods going pretty well at the mo hoping to get it on the rollers to c what it's making every ones welcome to take a guess and post ?? Hoping it's good

[Frosty]

Great pic of the phase WINs

As for power you got marks 194bhp to beat as a bench mark I guess

[Dum-Dum]

Cant wait to see it on the rollers mate, shes one hell of a bus and looks awesome between the other ph1s

Thanks chap will get a good vid up when she's on the rollers looking forward to seeing yours with the vnt on it

[Poodle]

Never liked sigma until I saw yours at pugfest, fair play. Guessing it'll be around the 190 mark, just because things tend to be annoying like that.
