Mike D'Silva Posted 7March Report Share Posted 7March This is definately not a 'how to' but more an experiment for myself to see if I could do it. Electrical work is not for me. So this was a big learning curve. Here's my playlist for how I went about it. I'm not a youtuber.. so don't expect fancy videos with clever intros, big personalities and lots of click-bait! The peanut gallery will be quick to chime in why stuff won't work.. but so far... it does It's meant as a work in progress. The engine is stock and has not been rebuilt recently. Once I lock in my conversion, then I'll rebuild it for more reliability and power, but for now, I wanted to experience the conversion. Massive thanks to Rama from Racehead Engineering in Sydney. https://racehead.com.au/ Seriously would not have been able to do this without his guidance (he has the patience of a saint!) If you like the vids, then please 'like' them. In fact, even if you don't like the vids, consider giving me a "pity like"... ps - there is something wrong with my camera.. it seems to make me look a lot balder than my mirror suggests....

Pork Chops Posted 11March Report Share Posted 11March Well done Mike. What are your thoughts on gearbox longevity with the turbo torque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 11March Author Report Share Posted 11March I think at low boost levels, and a little common sense, it should be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah limiting torque and harsh events will certainly be a good place to start. Billet side cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took for a drive yesterday doing some logging and just enjoying the boost, even though it is a very low level. Joz, tomo and LeeM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
