Intercooling versus other?

Bit long away, my good wife and kids want to travel Tasmania next October.:) Thinking a two week trip via the high country.:cool:
All the good 4BD1's are so far away:( Mine is a one off around here, not that I'd call it good. I just like it:D

You'll need 2 weeks just for the high country and a month for Tas:D

Mine also has no lag worth worrying about. As shown in that video it builds boost fast and from almost idle.
However, I want VNT to give that same low end but without choking off the topend.

I've even owned the VNT turbo (workshop ornament) for about 3 years, it keeps my water/air intercooler company in the box.:(

Same here Dougal mine has zero lag but does just starve a little at the top end of the rev range. I was going the twin turbo route but have lost interest. I just enjoy driving it for now.

Do you recon this would do anything? Maybe a tad too small.

Subaru intercooler - eBay Intercoolers, Performance Parts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 24-Jul-10 19:56:18 AEST)
Shouldn't cause any lag at all.

Did John/Bush65 ever get his BW compound turbo up and running ?

I looked long and hard at them but couldn't find a nice way to make it fit. The electric water pumps for those subaru systems are good for any air/water system.

In that vid, mine isn't much slower to build up boost but your lower gearing is a plus in that dept.

I agree in theory about the top end, BUT I can still get to the fuel governor in 4th gear, approx 145Km/h. It gets there quite quickly too:eek:, so I am quite happy with its all round performance really.

And I sympathise with 'workshop ornament' staus:(. I have the same problem with aux water tanks, twin shock set up, twin spare carrier parts, etc etc. ...One day....:(:D
