do you have any power details on the engine?

I was told it's running about 220bhp on high boost.

This figure would be improved with the hybrid turbo fitted

I also have a hybrid turbo that was built by Niz406 but never fitted Ahh Niz406 now theres a name we havnt heard from on here for a long time, how is he getting on these days any idea?? I have no idea. To be fair I bought the turbo off him about 4 years ago and its still boxed from the day i picked...

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone is running forged pistons and if so what there compression readings are?

I have JE pistons fitted and just wanted to compare readings.

Thanks

Thanks Niz, i look forward to hearing what you have done.

My next question would be how much are these parts and where is the best place to source them from?...........

Unless you fancy knocking one up for me

Hi guys, I've decided to keep my 306 turbo (no body serious wanted to buy) and was thinking of uprating the turbo. :cheesy: So should i, 1 upgrade the standard turbo eg 360 bearing etc or 2 uprade the turbo to something bigger, if so what bolt straight on without to much work.

Is there a way to check the valve seals before taking the engine apart?

I've got a spare complete head in the garage which worked ok before i removed so may just fit that and rebuild the turbo while the heads off.

I've done a compression test and all four readings are the same.

At a lose really, there is a small trace of oil in the boost pipes so guessing its the turbo.

The engine was apart in my garage for a year so i think the seals might of dryed out.

It smokes a little on idle to.

Cars not used much so i will sort the turbo out.

Thanks for the help

I have started to notice black soot on the back of the car and all the piston's have oil on them when i removed the plugs. The engine has adjustable boost between 5 and 15 psi and is running JE pist...
