LiamD Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Please please tell me that's a genuine holset and not one of the many copies knocking about at the mo!Check the holset website for details as the fakes as VERY close to the originals.Nice to see you going turbo though. Should be very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I looked at the front and thought ooooh turbo.Then, after making a tit of myself and posting, notice the very un-turbo looking other half of it. Rotrexs really do look like a modern day g-lader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 With a build thread this big, i couldn't really stop could i! It would be against my religion!For people that dont know, the engine will have the following major changes:Rotrex C30-94 chargerJenvy 30mm length 42mm dia ITB's, Mangolitsi Inlet Manifold, 90mm Trumpets built in to a custom plenum.Ceramic coated pistons and combustion chamberSecond gapless piston ringCompression Ratio IncreaseThere is a possibility of cams, but mine will most probably be reground for my specific durations if it can be achieved.The interior is changing, but il keep that under wraps until its done.I am removing the wiring loom and rewiring it to what i need, Removing the ABS and theres a possibility of fitting a peddle box with an adjustable brake bias swashplate.Few other bits and bobs, but they still need to materialise.All will become apparent........Stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
