Ian,
I have just edited your username to AV-R Technologies. If you give me a new email address, I can alter that, too.

From now on you'll need to log in with your current password and AV-R Technologies as your username.

Exciting post, too.

Very exciting.


Ian , can i ask why 1460, are you thinking more torque less boost or can you get the cr down low enough to run big boost aswell.

am intregued explain more plz

Rick

my engine is a stoked turbo ian, i like the torque but wish it was more reliable

Ian,,,,,

Aren't you meant to be donning a smokers jacket, sat back in a rocking chair, pipe in hand, reading the Times, and only getting upto go to the post office at lunchtime (this of course being the only time folks who still work can go there) in your retirement?

Ha ha guys, you should know I cannot sit still
Yep higher torque with planned 10psi max boost so am looking forward to the outcome, Just to let you also know my latest atmo 1297 has just taken .2 sec of the hill record in th eup to 1400cc catagory,

e-mail ian@av-r.co.uk
Web site being done at present keep going guys

Turbo dave I would have retired if my bird and I had not just parted after 5 years??? we were supposed to be running a consultancy in doggy banking ha ha

Is it time to update your sig with a new URL Ian?

Is there a website coming?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I know you guys will think this is bull shit, but I have did have an engine failure ever when playing with these turbo units just gearboxes, think cool think lower boost but with 8.5cr

cant tell you how many gearboxes, stripped pinions, crown wheels, transfer gears,stripped SC 2nds 3rds mostly on the race cars

Wasn't there a jap mini; white i think, in miniworld back in.... 2004 maybe? That had a 1460 turbo engine?

I'll see if i can find the article.

Yes i moved to the darkside

Now, not to but in, but what happened to all the critics when I asked if a 1460 turbo was something that would be good to think about?

lol good point

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

I think you would have to go a long way to beat the 1460 especially only running with 10psi!

I asked a similar question about 5 years ago i think lol.

So are you going for massive chambers or one off pistons?

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

Easy Ian can i try with an 1191?

Found the article; spec is as follows:

1994 1275 A+ block, bored, stroked 1460cc, hks stroker forged crank, hks forged pistons, and con-rods, 310 custom hollow cam, compression ratio 9.5:1, twin 50mm cast alloy throttle bodies, four 555cc injectors, hks gt-ss turbocharger, hks sqv super sequential blow-off valve, hks f-con v pro programmable ecu, custom titanium exhaust manifold, custom stainless turbo air pipes, rear-mounted custom radiator, twin electric cooling fans.

a claimed 150bhp with 0.8bar boost, and 200bhp at 1.5bar.

spec...

lots of mismatched jap chav crap

lol, just writing whats in the mag. word for word i may add lol.

That's intereting figs Oli as a normal well sorted 1293 will make around 200 bhp from 1.5 bar boost as well.

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on Injection?

Hmmm, to answer am using a combo deep dished pistons and head for the volume I require am not after 200 bhp just stunning all round drivability and hopefully reliability using a T3

It is bad enough putting 150bhp thru the wheels at least this will be on slicks 10" to start with. 19.5" rolling on 13's might have to go that route depending on torque??

Would you not be better off using crap tyres to spare the transmission? I'm assuming it won't be a drag car if you're aiming for driveability

I think Gary OS has taken over my role as the forum smart arse

Ian, do your self a favour and don't use an antique turbo like t3, the new GT series turbo are miles ahead
