My Build (Another Xr6 Turbo) Photos Galore

My oil is most certainly not over. 

 

I reckon the tech pulled the dipstick and reinserted it with the graduations on the low side.

If your engine still has those rattly forged pistons, you will burn that extra litre off before march.

Been a really busy couple of wks leading up to RW2017, so bit of an update and a long read!

So after the demoralizing failure of my GTX, managed to get a replacement for the car. In another life time and not such a short deadline I would have gotten rid of the low mount setup etc and gone to high mount, no real budget and time meant like for like footprint was found - GTX3582R

Car all sorted and running, it was off for the big wkend, primer convoy away

 

Accommodation was all sorted by Steve (who I must say has the fanciest driving shirts around) 

Cars made it all in one piece

Couple of shots from over the wkend

All in all a fantastic wkend with a brilliant bunch of *beep*, looking forward to next year already. The cars made it through and there was no major destruction which is a great way to end a wkend Racing.

Topped off being driven home in the Support Vehicle from Hell

This took all the gear did countless runs back and forth and even managed to let a single spinner go, could not have asked for anything more from the Daily Wiggum Bus

I liked how every solution to a problem that came from Chris involved throwing moar boost at the cars haha

[JETURBO]

Looks like so much fun !! 

 

How did you go with the 82 G2 ? What boost and what she do on the dyno ? What's the boost come on like vs rpm ?

[turboknapp]

It was an awesome wkend, I feel for Luke and the car issues. He could have made a fortune walking the carpark with his laptop doing log runs and tune touch ups.

 

The Gen 2 is good, we didn't really have it working super hard and unfortunately didn't get a chance to test out the aggressive tune. Seeing 17.5psi at 2950, eboost was saying peak was 19.4. This was with bout 17 degrees timing.

Dyno read 500hp, but it felt like it was pulling more. Need to get the engine finished, when that is done with cams etc will make some difference and will be really able to lean on the car.
