HI ,I BUILT TRUDYS MINOR,SHE,S MY WIFE,THE PROBLEM WITH A STANDARD BAY SET UP IS NOT ONLY LENGTH BUT THE WIDTH,A 2WD EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND TURBO SETUP,THEN THE COSSIE TWIN CAM HEAD ,ADD THE INTAKE PLENUM AND INJECTOR SETUP ,IT WILL BE TIGHT,OUR MOG IS AS STATED A DOUBLE RAIL SPACE FRAME SETUP,AND THE...

:D :D dohh!!, looks great really. What do you expect to see performance wise. Had you thought of supercharging ?, I have seen the results from the Rotrex units down at Omex and they are awsome. With a bit more spent on some internals ,other than forged pistons and uprated rods they reckon 650bhp is...

small turbos run out of steam to soon and so are no good for strip use,and you wouldent fit 2 on a four pot

I thought that was why people are going over to dual turbo set ups.,

dual turbo set ups are for straight six or v8 motors not 4 cylinders the use of nitrous oxide keeps the turbo spooled up so lag is not to bad of a problem.

yes that is impressive mate,but we have a cosworth powered ford probe here in the uk owned by john tebenham that is quicker

aup jonathon,thats no good its not a road car,ha ha,not any difference ,looks like a holset turbo ,regarding turbo lag this car launches at 5 th revs with boost up for its quarter mile runs ,tried all the piddlin turbos and thrown them in the bin,actually the h1e holset comes on boost at lower revs ...

monster turbo on our little mog<br><br>

looks great to me mate,must be better,the bulkhead will be fine,altering the system for my sons mog soon.

hi,that was me at the nationals back then,i built the car from scratch and raced it for a few years,i moved into the black 57 chevy in the photo,but i still own the mog and my wife drives and races it now cheers rob.<br><br>

martin b what motor are you running ,i seem to remember a feature in retro cars,was it a pinto with a turbo on?

its 4x4 it goes round corners just fine,although we mainly favour drag racing as its a test of the cars pure power,but my misses drove it round a circuit for the first time three laps and came .6 sec behind the quickest skyline so suppose it does corners .<br> http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1238...

first thing,start with a motor thats fast in the firstplace,ie sbc/bbc/cossie,they are known reliable and simple,dont make the mistake of over complicating the engineering side of things,if theres an adequate simple way saving wheight that fine,why build a bridge then build onother under it to suppo...
