| Ryan- Yeah, been discussing it on another forum, and getting a new flange made (ie drawing what i need and getting it cut) shouldnt cost much at all (soon as i find someone local who can do it), and I need the manifold welded anyhow as need a different flange at the wastegate end, so no biggie. |

| Spent a lot of today out buying bits and bobs and modifying the manifold to fit the turbo. And now it does. Turbo. Massive as frick. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Think I might have to modify the bonnet as the turbo is so big. As a size comparison, the dog is about as big as a Labrador, much bigger than a Staffie. Mint. |

| Dunno, and not fussed, as long as it scares the shit out of me in a straight line, its enough power, if it doesnt, its not. RB26s with stock internals and GT35s seem to get about 575bhp@1.5bar Mine has cams and a bigger turbo. |

BUT even they are acceptable on a RB26, drive ok as long as you rev em. though it looks the size of the earth, it has a compressor inducer about as big as a gt4088, and an exducer about as big as a gt42 (iirc, measured it ages ago- they run big exducers to be efficient at 3bar+ unlike most turbos), so it shouldnt be too horrendous, esp as Holsets have some strange ability to spool up out of nothing. and with a stock rev limit of 8250rpm, the engine likes to rev anyhow. simple fact is i want the car to be fast enough to scare me above anything else, so though im sure their slightly swankier ways to do it, this is cheap as frick and i bet will perform better than MOST the conversions most mugs pay 10 times the cash for. and im poor. im doing it to make a scary stupid mental car, not to achieve anything in particular barring entertainment, job done. and now I can have a "Powered by SCANIA" badge on the back and not be lying, lol. | ||
