Old man is building a Cobra with a AU 220kw v8 - keep telling him to boost the bloody thing but he won't listen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The haltech is an awesome bit of kit, manufacturers should just start using it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they put a decent flowing fuel system in it and run it at at least 17-20psi and make 450-500 kW They're so happy with such a low power level for the size of turbo and the 'gate pressure boost supply... Externally gated, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id like to think their would have to be some level of product support that involves working with people that are spending the money to pave the way for others. and its only really the newer oem engines and drivelines that need this extra work. simple engines like the mini or the vw were easy in comparison. mcm have added the ez36 and vh41 through their projects, who knows what else has been done with it, be nice if the spent some time on support for the barra, hopefully some of the big projects going at the moment see that happen. If anything the exposure through mcm has shown how flexible it is and they can make it work on anything thus far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where they will go with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember there being much enthusiasm in the idea. (too easy to make an 11 second car? perhaps ??? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see em go nuts on an xr6 turbo. I suppose it's pretty boring viewing though just bolt ons and engine rebuild... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and an old POS small car did a handbrakie around a corner. Not everyone is a lame driver here it seems. Oh also saw up close a parked lime green Gallardo.
