The V8 Owners Forum -

Cheers darkspeed, posted the last one from my phone. Not worked out how to shuffle things about yet ha ha

Quick update and a huge thanks to all of you for the input experience and suggestions given toward the problems I was facing with my TR. You can't actually see my massive grin on the clip but believe me I was wearing one lol Tap in 'TR7v8turbo quick blast around the lanes' cheers

Ah I see what youre getting at mate, wouldn't the valve stop that though? Sorry for dimness but this has really been testing me as I don't work on cars on a daily basis and only get to throw spanners around/skin my knucles/wipe up oil spills in my very limited spare time lol The knowledge passed on ...

Alternator was upgraded from the Triumph one to a RR pattern, think it was around 85A but theres not much drawing on it apart from ignition, no stereo, no leccy windows, aircon etc so should be plenty. Servo and master cyllinder are upgraded too from a Sherpa twin wheel bus too allow for the extra f...

That, believe me is more by luck than judgement :lol: Have just got a new dizzy from powerspark as with everything else thats happened over the last few weeks now it decides not to start! The original dizzy is a 35 DM the one with a constant energy unit that sits under the coil but the other day was...

Trial fit, not its final resting place as too low but should cool enough. Have experienced the fuel boil phenomenon! A bit unsettling to be honest lol thought it was an airlock in the rad pipes to start with could hear this bubbling noise but wasnt clear where it was coming from untill I thought I'l...

Sorry for any confusion you lot but I took that pic when swapping over the normal sytech regulator and the malpassi rising rate one that's the one far right of engine bay. Have run a return line back from this to the filler neck of my tank, it has a vented cap also so no vacuum will be created as th...

wow now thats opened a can of worms! General feeling is I cant use a redtop now proof I can :? Trial and error now I suppose. Being that this is an old setup the only way I think of controlling the boost is this outlet on the top of the plenum exiting on the right has a plate bolted with a spring I ...

Thanks JP, Malpassi data says will regulate from 0-60psi and or back so any aftermarket pump that pushes idle+boost (Webber likes around 3.5 I believe) and have no idea how much the snail I've got will deliver if I go for a safebet of around 20-30psi then, should all be "appy daze!" Ps Now have a su...

Or is getting hold of an efi inlet a better solution?

Got diverted away from the twin setup by an old motorway copper who used to drive the RR back in the days, bags of grunt but only any good if you had a 100 miles of straight flat road to wind it up in. Bugger to get balance right too apparently. As it is I'm having headaches getting one set up lol h...

Float has been changed for a plastic one instead of the brass original which would figure if its been setup for + pressure to stop it collapsing.

Hi all, was put onto this forum from TR7.com as wealth of knowledge dealing with turbo installs on here and from what I've read so far will probably sort out my teathing problems....finally! :) Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. Story so far then, purchased a garage find 80's janspeed se...
