So spent saturday at Kris's. Fixed the boot popper, turned out to be the swtich. The only thing I forgot to check.
So now the boot opens which is good. Turned the boost up so now I get 25 psi max, though tends to hold steady at 21.
Also had a play with the timing and the top of the pump. Its been a while since we had a play around as I have wanted the engine to live a while since I was without a car for a few months.
But now we have clutch slip, and it feels much more responsive.
I have been doing some research on VNT's and controlling them mechanically, also been looking at different turbo's. But really need to sit down and have a look at what can be done and reliably. As this is my only car and it would be nice to not have to have problems with it all the time after making it better.
Will need a better clutch, I know JP is going for something crazy and Darren had an uprated one with is good on his car. Wouldn't mind hearing about the day to day driveablity of these clutches.
If all goes to plan,(which we all know it wont) I should be getting another rebate from the tax man, along with a nice electric bike from work which I will sell. To get a set of Forged Con Rods.
Then the real research begins on getting more from the pump, and the a different more efficent turbo. I would be interested in hearing thoughts on turbos, I would like to twin turbo it as the supercharger and tri charging has been done.
