Just a wee update
I've chosen a turbo I'd like to fit, it's perfect for my target power output. I'm going to get a GT2052V, just china specials. I've had good experiences with cheap turbos so I'll stick with it. The compressor map is ideal.
So I'd be looking at about 140-150hp at 5000rpm and about 80hp mid way up the rev range. In theory this should be nice and progressive.
the GT15 is just out of puff on this engine, it'll get me to 135-140hp but it all happens in the mid range which I don't want - mid range boost is heavy on the rods, it's safer to apply high boost at high rpms.
ALSO I'm going to prep the car to allow it into Road Car sprints.
because my new car arrives in a few weeks and this leaves me with a "spare" car
Going to swap out my Lucas DPC pump and fit a 9mm VE pump - this should supply enough fuel for 140hp as Sam has already f*cked about with it so happy days.
Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.
