nice rims

haha, once the rubber runs out, I'm going back to factories.

Curious to know what cam you are using and if the engine was originally turbo or N/A.
With a nice setup like that, I would have expected over 100kw at the wheels.

Cheers.

That dyno was done well before the setup that can be seen now.
The previous specs are shown at the top of the chart, and were near factory.
The tiny turbo came on boost at about 1250rpm and died at 4500.
The piping was only about 2" to the plenum, and the tune was mocked up in 5 secs by a friend.
I have yet to have this thing properly tuned, but expectations are double at what it was before.
Motor is stock galant turbo from a Japanese 85 Galant Sigma E15A

I remember reading your thread for this thing on MCA feckin' ages ago, nice to see it's finally going

[Astron Boy]

Will be going even better after tonight, so long as it doesnt rain.

Friends bringing his wide band over, going to do some drive and tuning.
Was part of the way through calibrating the sensors last night,

rest of the body is now 2-tone, cleaned up a bit. Not perfect, but doubt the car ever will be.

yeah i was going to say she should be making more than that!! my 1.8 twin cam proton non turbo with a pod and full zorst ripped out 75fwkw!!!

[ISKA8]

nice car buds,different but it works..

[Astron Boy]

Cheers all.

Proper tune will be done mid/ end September, so final power figure will be about then.
Aim is 200hp, (150kw) which is easily achievable.

As this is an every other day car it's more about useability, on tap power, and being able to put it down and hold it on the front tyres.

Fuck yeah i agree!!! and thank christ theres another bloke with a turbo fwd here!!!!
