Which turbos for 6.0 LQ4

The Rover engine has served me well in the TVR but now its time to move on to much bigger power. I am planning on maybe using a 6.0 LQ4 and due to packaging I don't think a big enough single turbo will be easy to fit so am looking at twins. I would be interested if there is a suitable single that co...

I ran a few 1.5's. Goes to show a big burnout works well for the MT street ETs.
Shame I missed 3rd gear on this run otherwise it would have been very close to a ten on only a 70 shot of gas

I beat my 0-60 time yesterday at York with a 3.0531

This was with a 1.6409 to 60 foot and ive ran a 1.599 before so surely that must mean sub 3.

Very happy with the result though. Shame the day was spoiled by a Toyota Supra reversing his big bore tailpipe into me :(

Here are all my runs from last weekend. Maybe the 116 was a it of a fluke or just a good run.

The weather was consistent both days, cool with a tailwind. When I had the car initially mapped after the rebuild my first terminal was only 109 then went 111, 113 at York. 2 weeks later at Shakey it rose to 114.5 and levelled out. I put this down to the engine still bedding itself in. The engine ga...

Picked up 2 mph on Octane boost

I would be interested on peoples thoughts as to why and maybe where i can improve my tune. I was racing at York last weekend. The TVR was quite consistant despite the weather and was running terminal speeds of 114.5 mph. On the Monday a friend offered me half aa bottle of Royal Purple octane boost s...

That's the question.
The engine is now at 11:1 CR.
How much nitrous is acceptable do we think?

It was busy. The sun was out and a faif crowd turned up. They have the 'gamblers' bracket racing on a Sunday RWYB now and that seems to have a following. There were also a fair amount of bikes. The fire up road was full most of the day. I think you could have got 8-10 runs if you wanted to easy enou...

New NA PB. NO nitrous.

I met up with a few fellow TVR owners at Shakey this weekend. We had a covering of snow on Saturday morning and the track remained very cold. On Sunday it was as though we fast forwarded a couple of months. The sun came out, the track warmed up and i even got suburnt. A friend of mine has a 377bhp 5...

Had a few runs on a cold York drag strip today. Kept the street tyres on as it was just a bit of test and to bed the rings in more. Ran 12.6 at 111 with a 2.0 to 60 foot. Fingers crossed for some more dry weather tomorrow, MT radials will go on and let's see if I can get close to that TVR Rover V8 N...

It lives again.

I took a week off work to get it back together and running. I trailered the TVR to Dale at Bailey Performance yesterday and as always he did a great job diagnosing and fixing a few gremlins before mapping. Here is the result :) http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd117/dbv8/image_zps084cdzq7.jpeg
