Yella Terra Wasp Gt

[CDAA]

Just an update, we now have the intercooler fitted.

What can I say other than I'm rapped with the result. David and the KPM team really know there stuff. If you're after a turbo like rush but the sound of supercharged V8 you just can't go past this system!! Below is a dyno sheet with the intercooler fitted based on an 'economy' using 98 Octane fuel on a 35 degrees day. This is a relatively safe and reliable tune as agreed on both KPM and myself based on stock internals and the type of daily driving I do. It does no way relect the potenial of the kit for those that wish to go there.

Colville,

Well done mate, it looks tops

l know you are an experienced, open-minded car nutter so l am sure this must be one hell of a car for you to take the plunge in such a big way. Its something l often toy with the idea of doing but of course never get serious. But lets say l went out and bought a 12 month old BF GT-P. What sort of cost would l be up for to go the way you have, wouldnt be looking for ultimate power just a good streetable car?

What are the legailities involved in the mods, have Herrod gone for ADR approval etc like APS did with their phase kits for the XR6T? Was insurnace a problem?

Cheers Simon

Hey Simon, it's been a while hasn't it. This car now gives everything I wanted I.e. muscle car looks & sound and forced induction performance!!Herrod had the kit ADR approved as long as it's on either a stock vehicle or any modifiations are ADR approved as well I.e. like their exhaust systems currently are. Cost for the basic kit drive in/out is around $11k by KPM Motorsport in SA or Herrod, but I have had mine intercooled plus have had the fuel system upgraded (injectors, billet thottle body, high vol pump etc) plus a few other things. If you want more specific prices send me a PM or email.

I have a mate who owns a workshop, and one of the customer cars is a blown gt from country vic.

I cannot remember the exact rwkw figures but it was in the high 300's running a vortec on an unopened engine..

These boss 8's LOVE boost. they were built for it so it seems..

if I could have afforded it I wouldnt have bought the 6T, but would have added T to an 8!!

well done CDAA a very impressive bit of kit I must say. Geez a few on here might be convinced to buy some V8's next time round and blow them.

I'm checking out your intercooler setup - correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like you've fitted a pre-cooler. This is where your intercooler cools the ambient air before it enters the supercharger. Is that what I'm seeing?

exahsix,

have close look at the photos that show the plenum.

you will see the sandwich plate that cools the air from the blower.

looks like a water/air setup similar to whats on the blown GT ( US one )

Hi Guys,

To answer your question I will refer to a statement made by KPM in another thread:

"the heat exchanger fits snuggly between the blower and inlet manifold. it is then plumbed to a water to air intercooler front mounted as the turbos.

the unit is plumbed to a resevoir and a davies craig water pump pushes the coolant around the system independant of the main cooling system.

fantastic set up. no bonnet issues and works perfectly.

we have gained 20 rwkws with tuning and inlet temps were under contol on a 35 deg. day on the dyno."
