Project 'sillyteg'

TBH I don't mind it not spooling till about 3.5k, it'll help get traction.

Note I'm talking about spool-up, not 'Lag'. They are two different things ;)

supercharge IMO would be better than tubs BUT turbo will be awesome :) I think it ll be one mean car after you have finished with it much like your old scoob
 
Could you not have a small turbo to kick in pretty low in the revs and then have v-tech kick in when the turbo starts to tail off?

Am I talking rubbish? :D

What terminal speeds were you getting st 13.9?

108 mph terminal speed.

The turbo was a little bit big really but was good for 350bhp, engine was built to take 400bhp. If I had kept it longer I would have had it tuned again and aimed for 300bhp as it wasnt set-up great, high boost was only 11psi.

Just shows how fast it is once going then! 108mph terminal in a scoob or similar would be in the 12sec quarter mile!
 
Right, I'm going to be starting this very soon, I'm picking the short engine up on sunday and will start pulling the car apart within the next few days.

I'm itching to start ordering bits, so if you still want to sell your stuff Jonnycoupe drop me an email ASAP ;)

I've heard much about these turbo's but never heard them referred to as 'Disco Potato' before, what on earth is that all about lol :confused:

Have a google, I think the nissan engineers coined the phrase because the car that they wanted to fit the turbo to was a manky brown sentra with a multi coloured paint job and was optimised for the SR20DET they were fitting into it.
 
Chuck the Teg on Pistonheads, sell it to somebody in his 20's with his cap on backwards and buy yourself something properly quick you can make even quicker.

Starter for 10: Honda S2000, Porsche Boxster or a late MkIV Supra.

Not going to happen.

S2000 - Would love one, but even adding together what I would get for my Integra and what I'm about to spend on it, I wouldn't get a decent one.

Boxter - Ditto the above, plus not my COT atall. They just don't do anything for me.

Supra - Great cars, but again not for me. They are more of a GT than a sports car and weigh the same as a small planet. I like my cars light and nimble. Plus I've already done the RWD Jap beast thing ;)

There's no point trying rationalise it Fox, I'm building a 350+bhp 1-ton FWD lump of madness, it's daft and makes no sense, especiallly considering my previous two cars were better suited to big-power tuning. But, like fapping to midget pr0n, the fact that it's so wrong is what makes it fun ;)

Nothing is going to budge me from this stupidity with the 'teg. It's all in place, it's happening ;)

Besides, it's not like the car is going to become an understeering torque-steering mess. Unless I drive like a ham-fisted buffoon and mash the throttle mid-bend, It'll still corner the same as it did before, and it'll stop the same. It'll just have a hell of a lot more power when the road straightens out.....

Boosted 'tec!! and you only live in bristol which means by law you have to cross the bridge and take me for a passenger ride around some woodland roads by my place:eek:
 
*Subscribed*

I look forward to seeing this 'silly teg' progress ! :D

I think I may have missed it but where are you going to let the turbo cut in, before vtec does or within vtec? Am I right in thinking that the engine you are sourcing will allow you to bring the revs up higher then standard? :)


Looks like your in for some fun DreXeL!!

Not sure I understand - which of those 3 cars were made by BMW? :confused: Infact where in this thread have I even mentioned BMW's, let alone the 5 Series?

Or are you just posting crap? Aaaah that will be the case then ;)

My advice in this thread is failing to conform to stereotype.

You are clearly a moron, stop tarting up a crap old Honda and buy a BMW 5 Series.
