Congratualtions! :D

Of course!
Pretty good for an engine that has 254,000km on it.

You are going to love it.

Colin knows his stuff. He squeezed all that was possible from Snowie.

Now see if you can bolt the supercharger back on as well :D :D


Thanks Richard. We have to meet up. I still owe you money.

Good stuff, Speed! It's interesting to hear real world opinion between SC and TC on the same car by the same owner too.

Now, go race Nevyn :twisted:

must start really taking off at 4000 rpom or so.

It would be interesting to see a 3D map of the VE table.

Mine is kind of has a bump goes into a valley at around 3500 then 4500 at the bottom of the valley it takes off & a big bulge peaking at 5500.....Id say thats got something to do with the overlap of the cams

But hopefully it'll motivate you to get your car ECU'd :mrgreen:

The big difference is the shove in the back and the turbo is much quieter than the whine of the SC. I'd say the turbo is as quiet as a stock turbo car, maybe quieter.

Yeah we could and probably will at some point. The SC kit I sold you went well however I truly feel that my current set up packs more punch.

You could post up your dyno sheet so we can see the comparison in the curve.

Just spent a couple of entertaining hours, browsing/skimming/reading this whole thread. A great read. Didn't realize that you were changing from SC to turbo the same as me. I hope I am as happy with my conversion as you are with yours. You have put plenty of work in and are reaping the rewards on the smile dyno. Well done. :beer: Omar

Thank you Omar.

I hadn't realised that yours was supercharged either. I also have a similar flush mount headlight kit but I'm still unsure if I'll install it. Raybriggs look appealing to me in the meantime.

Your car is looking good and I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Hopefully I can get some video of mine over the weekend :)
