KevinA 695 Report post Posted April 11, 2019 After getting my car back from Tuning Developments where I had a forged engine rebuild and one of the TD turbo kits done, it was a baptism of fire and straight into round 1 of the TSS at Cadwell Park. The car performed without a single hiccup, mapped at 280bhp so as to comply with my class rules it felt progressive but very punchy. I will need to adjust my driving style to get the best from it as it certainly is a step up from my NA kit, which was superb. I took a few people for some passenger laps on the track day prior to sprint day and the opinion was it felt pretty good. I would like to thank Mike and Nick of TD for the hard work and hours they put in to get me ready for TSS, all the details will be on the TD website soon for anybody wanting full spec. 4 VAD17, Lmc, Lauren and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess with forged engine you can have a boost controller and go safely over 300?Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can enjoy all that extra power at Three Sisters now. Am guessing you won't be able to really give it some till Angers in June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Varelco 211 Report post Posted April 11, 2019 Looks good Kev. What internals did you have fitted? On another note whats the spec on your wheels, the fitment is spot on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wheels in the picture are XXR 527 8.75 x 18 et35 with 255/35/18 for sprints I run 9.5 rims with the same offset. The internals will be listed on the TD website soon, but it is the usual rods, pistons, valve springs etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRZ-123 174 Report post Posted April 11, 2019 Nice one Kev. Those aero fins on the roof. Every little helps! Why forged internals if you are limited on the boost you can give or the power you can make (aka 280), which is well within the tolerances of a stock engine?.

KevinA 695 Report post Posted April 11, 2019 Went forged just for safety as some stock boosted engines have dropped rods, also the car spends most of it's time on the track and I may want more 😆 2 vanko25 and BRZ-123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
