well after getting totally pissed off with the car, part stripping the oil feed hose thread in the turbo core casting and other little dramas, i snuck off to Aintree to have a watch of the other scimitar guys for a bit of relaxation and inspiration. Good day 2 x SS1 turbos, 1 x SST turbo (Crouchie B) and a Silvia! Good to meet ya Fraser, sorry i couldnt stick around longer to chat, but will catch up with ya at another event soon.
I spent all day sunday (my birthday!!) until 12.15am monday morning getting the car ready for the dyno at Emerald in Norfolk. Left home at 5.30 this morning and spent most of the day in the dyno cell with the Legend, Dave Walker. My ecu now has 3 maps, all switchable from the dash and ran fine except for th oil feed leak which Dave temporarily fixed by maching the pipe fitting to utilise the couple of threads that arent shagged in the turbo core.
Ext wastegate worked fine once he'd played with it a bit and didnt spike anything like a normal wastegate, so was worth all the ball ache.
Id like to say a BIG THANKYOU to everyone that has offered advice and pointed me in the right direction with the project, cheesr guys:cool:

any bhp figures mate and well done on all of the work;) .

excellent news. bang some ptfe tape on the thread or change it to the flange type oil inlet if you can with your turbo

what psi are you running in your full boost map

car was running 16 psi previuously. i now have an 8psi map, 12psi map and a 15psi map. it made one bhp less at 12psi than at 16psi previously.

Pukka and S13 Eater you have PM;)

Well spill the beans then Craig, what did it make?

some pics and crappy videos off my phone from dyno runs.
and yes that is the tubular manifold glowing red!!:eek:
fair play though Halfords VHT paint has stayed on:)

That looks like one serious bit of track kit! When/where you next out in it?
