Think they might be a bit small for a RB30 mate, will post up the dyno sheets once there back on the car and it is mapped.

Thanks for the kind replies, hope Alex and Rob (Serious Performance) dont see the pics they wont be too happy as she deffo needs a wash

They're basically Garretts version of the HKS GT-RS, actually a 2871R 707160-10, so they should be good for a smidge over 700 bhp which will be more than enough for me, lol. I was worried that they might be too laggy for a RB30 but after speaking to Hugh and Tyndago they sound like they should be ok.

Whats the rev ceiling on your 2.8 ? I guess you'll be able to use more revs than me which will help make up for the capacity difference.

Pleasure doing business with you John Wheels look great, keep them bronze i reckon. Might give you a ring sometime on the Ikeya stuff. I've been considering this for a while now but there's so little info out there, particually scratching my head on the Roll Centre Adjuster's (but all of it TBO ), Hope to see you on track later in the year.

We finished fitting the turbos on Saturday, Rob remapped the car on the rollers. Quite a different set up 500rpm later for full boost but keep pulling all the way to the limiter. The new turbos made a bit more power and torque.

Just for a laugh we headed to North Weald for there test and tune day on Sunday, brilliant weather and managed to do 4 runs just to get used to the new set up, a bit of a shake down.

managed a 11.6 sec pass but doubt that the timing equipment was any good to be honest anyways had a great day and now looking forwards to this weekend if the weather holds up.

Here is a little in car vid


YouTube - Taisan 1/4 mile run

Looking awesome there John! Not a bad time at all considering it's not a drag car!

Just a suggestion if I may... - Those pumps are a bit loud!! Could they be fitted to the underside of the car perhaps? Might make them a bit quieter and also help reduce smell of fuel (If they smell, that is ).

Once they're fitted - Let us know how it feels with the Ikeya Formula links on.
Great to see it going from strength to strength

Hi Miguel, dont get any smell with the firewall in place mate. Think we need to fit some kind of damper to the fuel pump, it mounted direct to the floor pan in the boot at the moment.

I will give you a shout once the arms are fitted, we measured the wheel arches from the floor on Sunday noticed one side is 10 to 18 mm higher than the other, cant be good for the handling. The Taisan is booked in to be corner weighted and have the geometry set up once the new Ikeya Formula stuff is on. I am sure this will make a huge difference to the feel of the car.

Cheers Andy, will give you a call at the weekend mate to get your fiberglass man's phone number and of course an update on the days racing.

After fitting the Ikeya arms an setting the geometry I was ready for Silverstone. The Taisan handled so much better, the front end didn't wash away once on Sunday, cant say that about the back end though, I was finding the rear stepping out whilst trying to put the power down out of the apex's. Suggested to fit a rear diff and have one hear now ready to go in. I hope this helps the problem somewhat, along with a rear wing which should give me some down force in the corners.

I drove the Taisan to a weighbridge yesterday she weighed 1520 kg with me in the car and 1/4 tank of fuel. So slightly up on standard, there is a bit more weight to come out but not massive amounts. Getting there slowly

The carbon air box has been fitted which made big improvements to the intake temps, will post some pics up later on.
