@danielwitham1791 2 ай бұрын

I'd get 16-18 from a stock T3 for anywhere from 10km to 1000km in my BT1, but yeah... Even at 12psi it was game over in about 3,000-5000km. I'll never forget my first non stock turbo upgrade. First T4 and then a T51R made famous from Japanese cars. So laggy, it came on boost around 4,400-4700 rpm with 1500-2000rpm to use, but that 400+WHP for 1500-2000rpm would chop almost anything around Melb in 1993 😂 If only I knew it was lacking fuel so badly at that time. I would have had 600hp until I broke something, if I had a better fuel system. Probably a blessing in disguise for the car and my life tbh. That was a fun, but deadly car! Amazed it still exists with about engine #10, turbo #98 and owner 7

These tags say this calais is NOT a factory turbo. Engine LF1 = RB30E LW5 = RB30ET Trans MS1 - turbo auto ML4- na auto ……. But this is a good earliest example 1985, as the offical run is 86 to 88, and Everglades green is amazing rare colour.

Super clean Calais! could tune that vl as is and it would sit with the vf no problems! Despite the insane price rises they are still bang for buck one of the fastest street cars to build! for around $2000 worth of part’s spent on a stock one it would leave it behind on the 1/4! Still handling like rubbish though! But damn that clubby is tough! It’s so disappointing that they are no more!
