The Frog - New turbo project
Turbo Mini Forums

did you test drive it already? :cool:

Not yet, thats the weekends job. Just the exhaust and fuel lines to do now

Can see the car boosting up a shade now were as before it didnt as the actuator was so weak.

missing a manifold stud mate :)

btw what box u useing? or is it home made? as you have tons of clerance! certainly more so than a certain mini thats sat on my drive :S

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Its a minispares one. Ive never had any problems with clearance at all with any of the boxes ive used, maybe its just how i fit them i dont know.
Plus i always take a very big corner off for the air pipe to go in. more than that crappy little plate you get with the boxes!
THat makes the most space!

Bet you will struggle to get the air pipe to fit though !!

I did as it has no room because of the Billet Actuator !!!

if you put it in as normal it will bend the pipe on the Actuator !!

I had to squeeze my air pip between the rad and the bulkhead to hold it in place as to not kink the actuator pipe !!

thats a job for tonight. should go in, cut away fairly well there. billet one doesnt seem that much bigger but then again...

sure ill get it on somehow, ive had tighter spaces to get it into..

yeah its a special mod that spark plug, top secret! meant to shade it out!!

That spark plug in the bottom hose is a well proven tried and tested mod!! All my class one autograss cars used to use it and it never failed!! Must be worth 2 brake horsepower at least, especially with all these idiots on ebay claiming 20bhp by putting a resistor in series with the temp sensor on your airflow meter on an injected whatever!!

Well took the frog for a spin today, goes really well i must say! Bit smokey at the mo but not too bad considering there is 2 stroke in the tank! (dont ask!) its clearing up as everything settles in.

goes really well and pulls hard. struggling with grip even on 008's in the first 3 gears. more suspension setup than anything though i think.

overall nice and ready for a RR session when i can get a few more bits tidied on it. Want to rebuild the front hubs and fit new gaitors and thats about it really.

Well happy! seems much quicker than the van and ive been changing virtually as it comes on boost as i dont want to do any damage. fueling seems ok and timing is ok so wont be too far out. if anything its too rich but better than than too lean.

See how it fairs against dan's 1380 at some point

nice reg uve got on that car iain BDG. suits it . just kidding mate thats all i need another turbo that'll be quicker than mine

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

hence the name "the frog" at a guess mate

might not be quicker than yours mate by the time avon park comes round
