If you mount that big bastard horn on your roof your going to need all the power you can get just to over come the loss of aerodynamics.

As far a Manic go send them a link to your build thread to let them know there is no room for failure, and there's no harm in asking for a discount since you'll be a guinea pig.

 

I was thinking of mounting it backwards under the car some how. Maybe the sounds waves and air pressure will give me extra boost kinda like a rocket lol.

 

Those are not subtle

 

Lmfao. Not meant to. Lol. OMG it'd be so funny going down the 1/4 and blasting that thing bout 1/2 way down all the way thru the traps. That's be great

 

 

Wonder what the mini would look like if the front end was change to have like a split bumper type of look with the grill opening that's from the bottom of the hood like now and continue down to where the FMIC is. The competition cooler gets blocked but some of that. Have that opening something like a maserati.

 

Owen turbo ordered. CHECK
cams ordered. CHECK
Cams. 5-6 weeks. DAMN IT !!

 

WTF are they made to order!

 

Idk. But that just screwed up my whole process.
Turner did say they gotta make them. So I guess your correct scubby

 

Bigger turbo & and after market cam you'll differently going to need a custom tune with dyno time. If Manic is sending you one of their canned tunes it should be interesting how the car runs.

 

There's dyno time coming. I'm sure. Just got slowed up with something else tho. Hope the guys with ECU and injection don't get upset.

 

Ugh that seriously bites. Which cam did you decide on btw?

 

ECU I understand because you've sent it out to get a Manic tune but injectors I'm confused.

 

248/10.7mm

 

Good choice. The 252 cam only makes sense if building a track car with a manual transmission and plan on raising the rpm limit to 7000 or higher.

 

That's why I chose. Considering the amount of work to the head. That in itself is prolly gonna throw the rpm's and the Powerband to the top of the tach range. Lmao.

 

Owen turbo----- In the shipping process. Got the tracking number.
Now to work on the tune and methanol.

 

Turbo in hand. Wow, you can definitely see the difference from other turbos. And bigger to.

 

Will we get to see a picture of the Owen Turbo before its installed? Love to see what it looks like. Never seen gold before!

 

Yea, if I can figure out how to post photos using the app.

 

Here is a few we took.

 

Figured it out. Gotta use the plus sign next to send.

 

And so we all know how bad were getting hosed on exchange rates now a days. It's surely not like it was 20 years ago. 1,618 British pounds, is just shy of 3000 bucks. Shipping included. Shipping was only 48 dollars.

 

It is pretty! Thanks for the show guys! Even for the pound price, one would like to think they could find a way to handle the shipping. 1700 dollars would seem reasonable and doable but almost doubling that on the exchange rate puts it kinda out of sight for us mere mortals. Can't wait now to find out how it performs, especially with your build Sprintcars!

 

That is a beautiful piece

The exchange rate works both ways, keep that QE coming I need to buy a few more things
