Yep that's a Garret GT25 roller bearing turbo.... Same setup as I have. I must admit I didn't like the Manifold the 4th pipe just seemed to join the 3rd one.. Not very even... I know I'm just being picky ....

What I want to know is what the hell everyone is looking at in the background that's more awesome than that!!

By the way, how's it going Mark?

In the background on the left, there was the Z-Cars MonteCarlo, next to which was the line of people waiting for a go in the Z-cars demo.

And the turbo on that bad boy was pretty mahoosive, I was stood next to MS when he took the photo I think.

[Jammy]

Anyone know what wheels they are at the side??

[markrally]

Well a bit of an update but hopefully more progress tomorrow.

Fitted the airfilter now after having to buy 2 short trumpets as the busa runs 2 long and 2 short in the airbox to suit its intake characteristics but now it requires 4 of the same..........


I am also having to replace the gearchange shaft alloy housing as it was damaged but the bearing for it is on back order at the moment so this job is on hold, i have had to remove the clutch slave cylinder, water pump and release the chain drive to get at it >



I am now fitting a road legal bike can with a removeable baffle as the z-cars silencer is not up to keeping the noise down for track day use (hence the need for 2 fitted on the demo car)


so this should do the trick!!



Here is some of the goodridge brake line and handbrake cable running down the rear trailing arm,


Here is one of the underneath aswell, it is still work in progress as ive got some tidying up to do and make sure nothing is cathing or rubbing.

think thats big???? what about a t3 or a T4 don't think a hyabusa would get it spooled properly though

[TimS]

The ERA turbos come with T3's and thats oldy outputting some 90 odd bhp

[Dom]

Nice progress... keep up the good work

[Mincento]
