So this is my "Super Top Secret Project" that I've been working on since December.
I wanted to wait until it was all finished before I posted, but it's taken so long with setback after setback, including have to take it to a garage for a repair only for them to **** around with it for a month and return it with bits left off (Four Winds in Berinsfield named and shamed! ****ing cowboys :evil: ). Now I've found that the Bloody Rtuner software won't communicate with the ECU so I can't map it. The Tax will run out next week and we're about move, so it looks like it will soon be sitting in our new garage doing nothing. :headbutt:
Clio Turbo KJ-style. 100% homebuild not a single piece of BBtuning -or anyone else's- kit in there. Might of been easier if it had, but that's not the point, is it! (is it? :? ). It's still a work-in-progress, hence the trick piece of rope. But it works (for now) and, according to my butt-dyno, I'd say at the 4000 rpm half-throttle I've driven at it's approx. 1 million bhp ATW (uncorrected figures of course)
V. short spec:
Nissan 200SX Garrett T25 (for now)
S/steel manifold
S/steel tubular twin downpipe; 2" Exducer, 1.5" dump
Fastchip Rtuner chip with turbo basemap
R21 Turbo injectors
R21 Turbo MAP sensor
R21 Turbo intercooler

Turbo, pipework, badly wrapped manifold, braided oil feed, and - er, braided nylon rope

Turbo engine bay and damn sexy rope again

Pipework post-I/C routing and pre-realising I hadn't left enough room for the air filter #-o

Cheeky intercooler, hidden behind still grille but it doesn't come out on the photo
More to come...
