Will also be stroking to 3.2 with a garret GTX3582r turbo and AEM infinity ecu

 

Oh me oh my!!!

 

Totally audacious, a whole league of power/complexity/cost/effort above mine.

 

What rear wheels & tyres are you putting on, something substancial I hope!

You made Nev cry a little there Mopey

 

I am shocked.

I'm sticking with the lotus sizes of 17 front 18 rears but going to squeeze 18x11 rears in the back.

So does mine! It's multi coloured at the minute!

Ignore the soft top it had no bars in

This is one badass build! First the 2.4  harrops, now this 3.2 big turbo. Think you're going to beat the Klasen 700hp turbo speedster!

Probably also the fastest exige s3 on the roads !

No idea I'll be happy with 600-650. Although saying that there is a guy on VXR online building an insignia vxr with a garret GT35 and is aiming for 600+ so considering I'm building it as a 3.2 should easily make that. But we'll see

[Mopeytitan]

I know of an Astra with insignia vxr running gear with twin turbo running around 900hp though

[tibby]

Put that in a vx/speedster and you've got:  1HP/1KG . Wonder how long it's going to take when somebody makes that kind of set up....

Give Luke or Lee time and they'll be bolting a turbo onto those harroped 2.4's

I was serious

 

Sell me all of your old bodywork then 

 

700hp lol   having been in Nipper that is well enough

Love v6 ;-)

Poor Nipper, his feelings will be hurt when I tell him, though his engine does sound like a tractor!

 

I wonder what yours will sound like once the gas has to go into that huge turbo. What are your plans for the exhaust headers and will you mount the turbo symetrically, so that the headers from boths sides are identical?

The turbo mounts over the gearbox so both manifolds will be symmetrical and the feeding to a twin scroll T3 flange. Will be using a twin scroll GTX turning housing and an external wastegate (not sure what size yet)
