Postby kris » Sun Feb 24, 2013 11:43 am

Could this be a right hand drive turbo option for the nc ?

Its been a long road for those working out the workings of the ecu.
It controls so many functions on the NC, all interlinked, making it very difficult t o crack and tune and impossible to replace on a road going car.
Pretty good chance that now we will get a road legal turbo setup.
The time is right

Wow....I thought it was much further off.
Now we need to see one fitted here and pass engineering.

On a serious note Neil...Do you want more?
I'm perfectly happy with the instant power that I now have.

I like how it has V bands, and external wastegate at considerable cost and then uses a log manifold with a pipe welded to it and cheated bends, and no cat on the downpipe so it wont ever pass emissions with any performance.

The market will dictate that better stuff comes.

The kit is being developed by Jay for use on Oz NCs.
Chris sent him the rhd parts so Jay could mock up.
The idea is to produce a full kit including tune that will pass emissions and engineering saving the purchaser the worry of 'will it or won't ever pass' that was the problem (now solved thanks to Chris and Neil) that NC supercharger owners had.
Cats in the mid pipe can pass for these cars as a cold start is not required
