The little turbo was making a sh*tload of midrange torque whereas this one has moved it up. The little one actually made 300awkw at only 3500rpm once, the larger one wont do that which will save the rods lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also only making 203awkw at 3500rpm vs the 300awkw it did on a cold night a few nights ago. That's what's gonna keep the rods in it lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I'll get another engine as a backup, that's on the cards eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the trans is fine, I've given it a pretty decent tune up and it's behaving itself for now. Obviously that will change if I throw much more power at it but again, I have some bits I can chuck in it to make it stronger without costing anything. It would be better to have a spare engine so I can do the work on one, then swap it over in a day so there isn't much down time. @Typhoon you're selling an engine ain't ya? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
