Hi Guys,
We went out racing last sunday,we didn't even get the car running at full boost before the intercooler brackets were damaged from this video,also due to the boost being alot lower than normal is the reason the MPH is lower....
Regards,
Darren

** Also with the valve springs,dont use the RR4's,I use a H/D spring from the Performance Spring range,its a 5003D...

the g161 head is ideal but you can only get it from over seas, you can buy one thats already to plug and play from darren for about 1k thats before shipping, but idealy you may be better off porting and polishing the 180 head, you will gain more compression thatway if you do

Has anyone ever found a turbo exhaust manifold here in the states that will bolt onto a G200 motor? I know there were a few years the Impulse (Piazza overseas) had turbo G200's, but i've never found one. Anyone overseas offer an aftermarket turbo manifold for these motors? If I could get my hands on one I would love to adapt a T3 to it, and fab up a blowthrough system using a 2 barrel carburetor.

Ok scratch that question! I went over to Darren's website, that is some VERY cool stuff he is doing with the Isuzu motors!! This guy makes it very tempting to put a turbo on my truck! Darren I sent you a PM, very cool ride you have there, thanks for sharing!

Hi Guys,
Raced the new car on the weekend,it ran 5.58 to the 1/8th which was its best time but a broken wire in one of the injectors only let it run low 10's in the deep end....Heres the vid of the pass,I'm hoping to be back out in 2 weeks and I cant wait to see how fast it can really go...

Hi Guys,
I took the new car out for a run on methanol fuel...I should have converted it a long time ago,its comes up alot faster on the converter and no,theres no nitrous......
I had a few problems with the rear end on the day and its all fixed,I cant wait to get it out again in a few weeks...
