B5VWC 0 Posted April 23, 2008 Cheers mate same as - you got good numbers on sunday.. Good to see another rotrex setup theyre not bad little chargers - what you planning next? cams. Yep 263's, some form of charge cooler and then tiny pulley :D yeah the 263s should make a good difference we did a before-after just to see what they can do what pulley you got on yours now, mine is 85mm which saw 17psi... 350-360hp was the target :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will most likely go for a 70mm pulley, not sure what it will give though, probs about 10psi perhaps? Need some cooling first, cant afford a charge cooler setup at the mo as driving the car round europe end of may so im thinking just to get some form of cooling i will just got for aquamist to start with.

biggerbigben 0 Posted April 23, 2008 Seriously good effort.. must be awesome. Whats it like through the front wheels? Bet its ok actually because it doesn't give a sudden surge of power like a turbo might give? Well done..! Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben thanks matey its not too bad the peloquin diff helps and midrange isnt mental but still strong then after 5k/8psi it shifts hard theres only so much the gearbox/wheels can cope with prefer to get the power down and not waste it Seen this car too - but didn't get to meet you on sunday for some reason! lovely car - was hoping it was going to the rollers though! :( thanks mate - didnt run it as it was only on rollers a week before - at the end i did ask vince to run mine for free but he told me to fuck off :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B5VWC 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Needs some bigger brakes, everything comes up so quick :shocked!: I was looking at this setup it uses 330mm APRacing calipers MJMAUTOHAUS $ Rate is good shipped to UK comes to £930 but add vat/customs, still AP are best, also will they fit behind your rims Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B5VWC 0 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Update. Needed to sort a few things like tired valve springs (7500 limiter), better exhaust and dodgy alternator but ended up doing all this… Slowly did all the work over the last few months myself as there was no rush and saved some cash It’s now back up and running checked everything over and its all good so happy I gave it a go Will get back to you with Dyno Results soon Edited April 1, 2012 by B5VWC LOST LINKS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
