So, it's possible to use the V500 to keep the standard ECU for controlling the auto, but use the V500 to control the engine in 'standalone' mode?

Hi DD, do you have more details about the kits? Are they used?

To put it simply, if you're going to go low boost, the Eaton seems to be more efficient. For higher boost levels, the Whipple is more efficient.

Sell one to me? What have you done to them?

I have a new Whipple 2.9L Twin Screw sitting in my garage if you're interested...

I'm getting this done around March. It's great bang for your buck and plenty for the street.

Thanks, keep us updated. :)

Already Sold, too late.

Thanks mate, email sent!

What's his email? Can you PM me it, because I couldn't find it! Thanks mate.

??? Any news mate?

Thanks mate - I'm looking at doing this in four or five months, so please post up the answers.

He was making a guess. I believe the servicing intervals are somewhere like every 30/40 thousand km or 2 years WRT to the grease. I'm not sure though.

You can beat any production vehicle if you have the budget....or just buy a BMW S1000RR.

The X-Pipe is important for scavenging. Do it. :)

If you want it to be reliable over 400HP, change the pistons. They tend to do a ring as the clearances are very tight (designed for fuel economy - the 'FE' in the engine designation).

Sounds like a really good solution for the cramped Soarer/SC400 engine bays, as you can mount them in virtually any position since you don't need to gravity drain the oil lines.

It depends what year UZ it is. What car did it come off? The 95+ ones came with skinnier rods and higher compression.

Yeah, I've been looking at Comp Turbos. How do they compare to your normal oil-fed turbo (comparing like for like housings, turbines etc.) in terms of reliability, spool speed, flow and power output?

Has anyone tried oilless turbochargers? I don't know much about them - I only know that they require more regular maintenance. Positives, negatives?
