  7. It's Done!!!!! PHOBIA had its date with the rollers yesterday. Dave worked his magic and here are the results as promised. ;) This first graph is the overlay. The blue lines are the power and torque with the GT35, on a 100LL avgas, no catalytic converter and 20psi. The red lines are the new GT3076, on 98, with a new exhaust including a 3 inch metal cored cat and 20psi (1.4bar) Yeah, you can see it too hey, it makes a smidge more top end, but significantly more torque, and actually where it's needed! I am ecstatic with the results, my first drive showed just how big the improvement was through the seat of your pants. Here are the AFR, pretty good considering there are 8 injectors that require staging all run by a primitive Delco computer, full credit to Dave. Obviously, at 20psi, this was a pretty conservative tune compared to the 25-28psi the motor has run in the past. But, I have come to the realization that it's not going to win anything for outright power, so I just want a nice package that I can actually do some klms in now. Yep, I’m buzzing and can’t wait to get out and enjoy it.
  8. Well, the new turbo is in...... Things to note, boost is almost instant ish, ok, so it comes on at about 2400rpms not 3600 like is used too...... I only cruised around the block, just to check all my lines and see when positive pressure was made, so we will all have to wait until tuning next Wednesday to see the full results. Also, the GT3076 with the antisurge front housing has a whistle not to dissimilar to the HKS turbo's..... It sounds nothing like the GT35 when coming on boost. Has anyone had any experience with this turbo and how it sounds? Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I also want to make sure its normal.
  9. Just a small update..... The new GT3076 has been coated, and is awaiting relocation to its new home..... I have also booked some time on the rollers at SAS and Dave's wizardry next Wednesday the 17th..... Can't wait to see the results.
  10. Yeah Benny, get some boost for that weapon. You still going big, or just looking for a streetable package?
  11. Wow, it's been too long since I updated my page, so much has happened..... Well, this biggest thing, now that I’m actually driving PHOBIA, would have to me coming to the realization that the GT35 I was running was just too big for the revless 22RE..... So, I sold that, and purchased the following GT3076 with the smaller .63 rear housing and .6 front housing. <_< This should get me on boost a damn site quicker and make driving PHOBIA a much less violent affair and a damn sight more enjoyable. Anyway, the turbo has just arrived, so here are a couple of snaps before I drop it off to be ceramic coated. Out with the lag monster.... In with the cute little GT3076.... I also had Redvan come out to give the tires the white wall treatment..... They did a great job, just makes the wheels look massive. Anyway, here are a couple of pics from the Toymods Mega Cruise last month. Enjoy.
  12. It's House of Color Green Ice Pearl. Very subtle but striking under lights and in the sun. I through in that shot of the bonnet as its one of the few pictures I have that picked up the paint effects. ;)
  13. Ha ha ha cheers Ben, it did pay off having your beast cranking all weekend! ;)
