GMballistic Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I bet it makes some noise too with those screamers! I think those two pipes (in the centre) will be for the waste gates (Tial ones it looks like to me). Very cool Mark. Quote

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted April 20, 2017 Author Posted April 20, 2017 Got to ask why go vq not VK or LS VK is to big and with a wide V angle doesn't fit in the PS13 bay very nicely. LS why be like a sheep and we already have another drift car with a LS in and the Turbo VQ totally blows it away with BHP anf torque numbers. The VQ is super light very compact and is a Nissan engine we work with heavily @ Abbey Motorsport so it was a good project to get involved with. We have these fitted in a number of different cars already in different specs. We have 51% front/49% front to rear weight distribution with this set up. 3 Quote
Hansburger Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Great guy Steve! I've met him several times with the Road to Gatebil. Can't wait to see this in action. Quote

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted April 25, 2017 Author Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Well back and sorted after the IDC Rd1 @ Mondello Park last weekend. Good weekend few teething issues made it through to the TOP16 which was pretty awesome as the quality of the driver in Ireland is so good. We didn't make it through from the TOP16 had a gremlin shows its ugly head in the 1st run , which I have worked out to be a £5-00 connector , we are blown away with how well the VQ motor runs, Baggsy cant stop wanting to drive the car and make some smoke. Little video only for you guys on the Forum of the 2nd run in Qualifying. thanks Edited April 25, 2017 by Mark@Abbey m/s 1 Quote
