Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Injectors and fuel rail

They will fit straight in (use new seals).

Boring out the rail is an upgrade option but the std bore is around 8mm as I remember.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Injectors and fuel rail

I have SARD 800's but 850 side feed are the largest that fit the std fuel rail, I bored my rev 3 rail to 13mm, if you have Rev 1 / 2 rail you can only bore to aprrox 8mm (I did them along time ago so dont quote me on the sizes). Above the 850 size injectors a top feed set up will be needed. I also l...

They are made from plastic not kevlar/fiberglass so are quite flexible, enough not to hurt your legs or give you FG burns but you wont fall out of them! ...

Re: WI / Chargecooler or boot mount ?

https://duddhadotme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/7.jpg This is what my I/C looks like, temps on a hot dyno day never went over 30. But charlie reccons the MR2's make best reliable power and torque with a decent charge cooler. I will no doubt add a charge cooler element to the last run of my boost pip...

Re: 1/4 mile Santa Pod. CT20B+Gen3 3SGTE, 12.53@114

Perhaps I missed something Mike, I wasn't asking what the biggest hybrid was, more who's been quicker than Mark Edwards on a ct series turbo (without nitrous) down the 1/4 over this side of the pond. Have you tried yours on the 1/4 yet? Be interested to see what it can do on that turbo. Grudge matc...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] My side-mount oil cooler install

Looks fine,

I just have a remote stat on the bulhead with a massive Ford filter with pipe runs of around 12". My oil warms up as normal and doesnt stray regardless of how hard I push the car.
