how fast does yours race

[stimpy30]

just wondering how fast anyone else's beasty is . bin playin with mine mainly with timing for a while and was flabagasted today. . lined the surf up on the flat selected power box and floored it. after a billow of smoke out the exhaust that would have made james bond proud the turbo roared and iv,e finaly got my 0-60 to just under 11 seconds . bring it on clarkson who needs a ferrari f class or a mc,claron lol . i might not get there fast but i get there in comfort.

Nice one mate. Kept saying the 2.4's weren't as sluggish as
the 3.0 mob make out.

If a 2.4 can be made to do sub 11s easily(ish) then a 3ltr must be able to do it in under 9.

All I know is that when I first drove my 3ltr I couldn't believe how much faster it was than my 2.4!

Anyway, congrats Darren, what did you do? You didn't buy one of those ball-bearings and resistor thingys off ebay did you???

I have to agree with you I thought the same when I swapped my 2.4 in for a 3.0, in comparison the 3.0 goes like $hit off a shovel

heres a little thing you can do.remove the rubber elbow from the front of the turbo.the big 2" one thats connected to the piece that says efi on it,take that off and try again,just as a comparrison on the 2.4.i was amazed at how much quicker the turbo spooled up.but remember to put it back on or else youll damage the turbine.and the noise who need a blow off valve.i made up a little gauze mesh filter and fitted it around the compressor housing air intake held it in place with a jubilee clip,temporarly.

Nope, you need the tube with the EFI on it. You mean the black tube from the air filter.

It sounds good too with the rubber elbow removed, a kind of brrrmmm tish sound as you rev and release the throttle.

I'm gonne remove the drivers side battery and fit an air box with a cold air intake, with one of those cone filters in with a 6" tube directly onto the turbo, should make a difference.

nope slugsy mate pure inj pump tinkering with timing got the engine to just before diesal knock. then locked up bolts. used to do it with my cars to. you usaly find most things detimed. classic example rover v6 with honda engine.

yea i tried doing that,i put alsorts of bends and bits and pieces together,theres not a lot of room,and its a pain that they put the turbo where they did,the only thing that i found that worked was a piece of a K/N air filter gauze cut in a circle slightly bigger than the air compressor housing and wrapped round it with a jubilee clip on it to hold it in place.
