The golden bricks got a turbo pix

Postby Treefinder » Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:11 pm

The triumph is returning this year and is now fitted with a bmw diesel turbo... its a little nippier now, boosts lovelly!! The only problem really encountered was a slight mis at high rev boost... solved it with a 999 style dump valve... the plenium bolts were eased off so that it lifts at high boost :crazy: :lol: It does work though!! :clap:

Just make sure this doesn't turn into a 'it was going great until it popped' thread. It usually happens the night before you really don't want it to, on the 'just one more blast before we put it on the trailer'.

Barry was a little gutted i think today.... the mazda is on the road not supercharged yet but stripped within an inch of its life and it is a bit quicker than his acclaim :clap: although that said it is very quick at launching through first and second....and not forgetting it is a 1400cc with its interior intact.... Im waiting for him to start winding up the boost..... pop!

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
