M42 turbo fact thread

[Victell]

Whoa, I forgot about this awesome thread.

[naika]

impressive numbers guys!

[JuusoIemel]

Onnea! Thats impressive given the stock bottom end and smaller turbo. E85 doin work!

You are way up north, is that considered Lapland there? Probably not, but close. Furthest north I have been is Jyväskylä.

Kippis!

Thanks! Re85 sure is THE fuel for turbo cars. :)

Spool on that turbo is very nice, and i think is safe to say that garrett has reached its potential.
Unfortunately i managed to toast my rod bearings during a burnout so the engine is done.
But that is a great excuse to go for forged iternals isnt it?:D

Altough the region i live is considered northen finland, its not quite lapland yet, we're missing the tundra and the reindeers :D

Kippis!

Whoa! More info of that engine please!?
That must be new m42 record.

wow almost 350whp for an M42 is pretty awesome but that torque number is also very impressive congrats dude you've been building this car for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if you upgrade the injectors you could maybe push to around 380whp.

Yes, its been a long time! Actually drove the car today for the first time in almost 5 years. It was slightly different than I remembered

They're some good numbers for sure. Would be a lot of fun

[JRW21]

Dyno Run #3 340whp/299 torque 26psi: 80lb/hr injectors @ ~90% duty cycle

Thats it for now, going to put this thing back together and drive it! However, its killing me not to upgrade the injectors to push further!

[eternal24k]

wow, that's awesome

[JRW21]

Last run set for tomorrow going to run 28-30 psi!��

..wish the m42 luck!

[JRW21]

330whp/281 @ 25psi

Was hoping to run closer to 30psi and 350.

We placed a new Borg warner s200sx on to see what it would do! Will run it HARD next week. Near 30psi.

More deets on this bish. Intake is what? Manifold?
