Thought it was a H1C? You bought a new turbo?

All changed again, I'm just going to use a GT3076 now, the GT28 I'm using at the moment is now giving me 385bhp.
Also the charge cooler has gone, just waiting for a Subaru tmic to arrive, I'll mount it in the same place as the charge cooler. But it means more holes in the bonnet

 

[jarrus]

Well when you want to off load that GT28, let me know...

I've got my old one off a pulsar (the one that was on the car at Santapod)
which needs a rebuild, you can have that for £35

 

[jarrus]

Isn't that a GT2560R? Know as the GT28? If so I've already got one mate

It's a Garret TB2804 if that's any use to you.

 

[jarrus]

Cheers clay,

I did some searching and It's near as makes no difference the same as my Garrett i got in the lock up.... cheers the heads up anyways....

Before I was talking about the GT28 you hadn't installed yet when we were at the pod....
are you willing to part with that when you get the GT30 on there?

 

[claymore]

The gt28 is staying on this engine for the next stage of the project

 

[jarrus]

Fair enough mate,

Going for 3 stages now then?

 

[claymore]

I'll run with the new engine for next year, then for 2014 the Volvo will become a T10 AWD.

 

[jarrus]

Sounds good to me mate..... look forward to seeing it...

 

[claymore]

A couple of titanium brackets purchased (I'll use them to mount the new intercooler) any guesses what they're off?

 

[jarrus]

I'm going to say a Noble? since the intercooler was off one...

 

[T9 man]

No idea where the brackets came from, I'm just impressed that there made out of Titanium :amuse:

 

[claymore]

They're actually off Jenson Buttons 2006 Honda F1 car

I will leave these on for twelve months, or until she comes home.

 

[claymore]

A couple of updates,
this is the messy engine bay at the moment:

And finally getting round to sorting the bonnet out:

 

[T9 man]

Looking good clay

 

[davalav]

Looks fab mate!

 

[claymore]

Bonnet now all stickered up again:

 

[T9 man]

Blimey, haven't we been busy over the Christmas then :blink: That's a lovely job clay

 

[claymore]

Keep watching, some BIG updates coming in the next week or so.

 

[davalav]

Awesome Clay, as per.

Can I guess as to what these updates are?

feel free to try and guess all the changes

 

[davalav]

Forged engine for a starter... 6 pot engine? Or staying with a 5? No idea if Volvo ever made a 6'.

 

[claymore]

staying as a 5 pot, what else will change?

 

[old-git]

As yu have EVANS blazed across the bonnet, I assume that you use the stuff?

Would you recommend it and how do track officials react as it isn't water, is flammable and very slippery when spilt?

 

[claymore]

I would definitely recommend it, nice to know that you havn't got pressure in the water system, I haven't had the signwriting on the car at a track yet, but it would be no different to petrol or oil, the idea is to keep all the stuff in the engine....lol

 

[old-git]

I have heard that many tracks don't allow it, I believe Santa Pod for one (although I have yet to confirm that). I will be interested in hearing if you have any problems.

 

[claymore]

Going by what I've read, most tracks want you to use water only, no glycol even.
