Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I wouldn't say you need a set tyre or wheel size. Some good brakes to stop you and suspension you have sorted already. Are you supposed to have a special long nose bumper for this kit ? Quote
zDan Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Well, it's almost like you don't really need a front bumper anymore, isn't it? Quote
Neilp Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Does anyone have an opinion on size of tyres should I be running with this much power? I've got 18" rays rims Alex runs way more power on standard tyre sizes. Get decent tyres and you will be fine. Quote
Darren-B Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Interesting to see the views vs. responses ratio from you title!! Probably the mods keeping an eye on things I love the FMIC, how Big???? Quote
Doctor S Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 That's brutal!!! But... no hookers?? Worst thread ever Quote
planetsurfer2 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 I love the FMIC, how Big???? GTM 3.5 x 13 x 24 Bar and Plate Core Intercooler Rated 1000hp Quote
Madhatter Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 I've just done a little wee...... God I so want if I just had those funds - miss the turbo! Though think I'll be going sc this time (limit of money!) Can't wait to see the final results Quote
Roo Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 That's brutal!!! But... no hookers?? Worst thread ever Just for you Steve thompson england hooker i believe... Quote
djtimo Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Great kit mate! The GTM FMIC does get rid of the front brace but the intercooler is quite beefy and ties the front chassis legs together again. Cant wait for the dyno! Quote
planetsurfer2 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 Is this good? Quote from Mark "On the dyno most of the map is sorted at the boost pressure we are running at the moment 0.35/0.4bar (5.14 psi/5.88psi) we are seeing 415bhp @ the hubs What is impressive at this low amount of boost is 340lb/ft torque @ 2000rpm 350lb/ft torque @ 5000rpm and 3000lb/ft torque @ 7000rpm."

brillomaster Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 well the last torque figure certainly looks good but seriously, im amazed with the extra power you can get with hardly any boost... 6psi is nothing! Quote

jollyranchers Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 watching with interest , looking forward to dyno sheets and vids Quote
deank93 Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Looks great, what made you go twin turbo over supercharged?....if your making 415 at the wheels what would that roughly work out too at the fly? Quote
planetsurfer2 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 Just got it back from Abbey. Had to have Tony rebuild the gearbox. Lots of bits replaced. If you need your HR gearbox rebuilt he's your man. fyi: The workshop manual has the wrong part numbers. While the gearbox was out I had an upgraded clutch installed. I'm suffering a bit with kangaroo petrol... Hopefully I'll find a cure. The decision was there wasn't any supercharger kits to be had. I'm glad I went with the TT setup, loads more torque right across the range. It's still really easy to drive. Next mod will be an uprated ECU after Mark finishes the development work. Powerwise I've no idea, I think most people add 15% for flywheel HP. Quote
glrnet Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Don't let Keyser see that..................... it's green Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks all.. It is indeed a GTM Twin Turbo Install. Mark is on the DYNO next week with it, so I'll have to wait to see what it does. I was hoping for 500HP for my 50th, but I think that's a really big stretch on a standard HR engine. @neilp I have no idea, the pictures are all I've seen so far. I'm assuming yes. That engine will take a tad more:) Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 don't know how I missed this thread before but the car is awesome. are there ant finished pics? Quote
Jez @ H-Dev Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) I'm thinking of this kit on an DE engine for my car - which turbos did you go for? Edited March 29, 2013 by Jez Quote
planetsurfer2 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 GT28RS 0.64 A/R I've got a pair of ZMANALEX's HKS 2530 turbos that I will be putting up for sale soon. (650BHP) Quote
