Yep, the "chief engineer" got himself banned so the thread slowly slipped into obscurity until you pulled it back.

No it's not gone quiet, we're still awaiting an earth shattering announcement regarding 15000 bhp from a Honda 90
It's achievable with a bit of work. I got a full 5.4 horsepower out of mine.
Not strictly true. When I was into my renaults I got 296bhp out of the 1400cc r5 turbo when everyone else dropped in the 1.9 so it can work both ways.
Im no cock mate just wanted to have a chat you should look at other peoples attitudes Ive met some good lads on here Im not here to make enemies.
Cant understand why people get mardy when someone states they have done something they havnt been able to. Its not a war just chill.
296bhp HAHA are you having a laugh from a cj1 ? Also Renault don't do a 1.9 although people did use a Volvo 1.7 !

Brilliant, I had forgotten about this thread
I changed my sig because of him, but he never noticed/got it!
That does not really work a turbo cant really do more power with less lag !
yes it can. if his old one is fecked - it wouldnt take much to get a 40% increase or less lag

believe you can, using lighter better materials the turbo spins easier, is able to cope with more boost so kicks in sooner, it has a aluminium billet compressor wheel and exhaust side, a 360 degree thrust bearing and a turbosmart actuator set at a moddest 1.5 bar
and a partridge in a pear tree.....

Be real how many turbo rebuilders will fit a billet wheel to a land rover turbo !
hybrid turbo with a bigger compressor wheel = more lag !
Cut back turbine wheel= more lag !
Yes if your old turbo was dead it may have less lag now but like for like on a good standard turbo it cant spool up faster and flow more .

dont class your rebuilders with mine, I can assure you I had a billet wheel fitted, If your to tight to pay for one thats your problem,
and I can only comment on mine, its certianly better than before, and easily keeps up with my son's 1.9 fiat doblo multijet, and there quite nippy
Garret didn't even fit billet wheels till lately with there gtx series turbo's and there smallest is about a 60mm compressor wheel good for about 400hp so don't make out that billet wheels are an everyday up grade and as for turbo work I use owen development the UK's leading turbo company !

Large amounts of this
not the J35's though
Did lots of work on Typhoon, Astute, type 45, lots of mining equipment, conveying systems, minelaying kit, depth charge deployment systems,
Now I work in the nuclear industry.
Custom motorbike work is easy, and more art than engineering, its cutting fancy shapes, painting etc etc. Stuff thats pretty much irrelevant in this argument."
lol all joking aside i actually built this ship, well sections of it that were built in portsmouth docks.

Just read the whole thread, quite interesting really. God, am I sad or what? its new years eve ffs.
Anyway I know bugger all about any of this so its all gone over my head BUT I for one would NOT want to be doing 100mph in a 90 with a 2 inch lift, could get quite exciting very rapidly, and not in a good way.

You wont fail the emissions.
It would be sad if you were on a Citroen Saxo forum, but spending your quality time here, just shows a maturity beyond your years
