Re: Rev 5 Turbo - Kent - £3950

Yes this is standard internals. Its basically at the limits of the standard engine. Ryan mapped it to 1.1 bar and was more than happy with it. No knock etc.

But its the torque the car produces low down which is impressive.

Re: Rev 5 Turbo - Kent - £3950

These were taken when I bought the car last year, the only external difference is there is no longer the xxxx sticker.

Re: Best quality radiator for Rev5 import

Does the Mishimoto one have all the same bleed valves etc? Exactly the same as an OEM radiator?

Tyres not fitting in wheel arches

Alloys 17 x 8 ET 35 Tyres 215/45/17 1. The tyres are so close to the strut I think I need spacers 2. The tyres are catching on the arches (even so I cannot turn on full lock) Has anyone else encountered this issue? Presumably 45 profile on the front is too large? Is an 8J rim too wide? I thought lot...

Re: Oil Cooler Query - Hoses and Placement

Is that using a stock car Bob you struggle to get to over 100 degrees?

Re: Oil Cooler Query - Hoses and Placement

Re: Oil Cooler Query - Hoses and Placement

I was looking at mocal, jjc, merlin stuff and think auto. Think this is all good stuff.

hose diameter is 1/2BSP.

I just need to find a place to mount it but dont want the hoses too long to prevent the aforementioned pressure drop
