The LT95 is tougher than most give credit for but surely you are going to be feeding it quite large doses of torque?

Very impressive work so far mate....the whole setup under the hood is very well done. I had assumed you were gonna go for the twin-turbo setup instead of that one large turbo to reduce turbo lag.....
Keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work.
ok
lt95 will be fine..have killed 3 lt85's now!!
re single turbo decided to go that way as i had a brand new one that should be just right..lag should not be an issue i hope, its bigger ,yes,but has twice the gases to get it going...
anyway..3 bucket seats do fit in the back..thats good..but taking 4 hours to bolt the n/s manifold on was not..talk about a barstard!!it will NOT be coming off again!
oil cooler mounts all made,just gotta buy some heat shielding silver stuff to wrap the oil pipes near the before mentioned manifold..
hers an upside down piccy

Cheers chaps.
What about gearing? I'm assuming that with this amount of torque so low down that you could cruise at motorway speeds about 1000rpm lower than the norm?
One area I've looked at is the different cogs you can put into the LT230.

this eve fitted oil cooler..decided where to route cooler pipes..started connecting up hydraulic pipes to hydroboost..
have an issue with air intake and filter..ie wher to place and wher to suck air in!!

Great work - I love watching this thread.
But all those tools look a bit scary on top of your battery with its exposed terminals!!
