Looks awesome Wally!

What rear spoiler is that? Sorta looks like Dr Holzapel(sp?) one on that race bug.

Any thoughts on what the front fender slots and the "wing" did for you? I'm really interested in the front fender slot feedback, not sure I could pull of the rear window wing but I'd love to know how it works.

Sorry Jason, I can't tell what effect the fender slots in itself have or had. Neither with the roof extension as I only drove 10 miles or so with it when the current 1192cc type 1 compound turbo engine seized...

I am going to build another turbo type 4 for next year as with my long 1st gear, that small an engine is no fun driving on the street.

Looks great Wally! What size T4 turbo are you building? I have a brand new ball bearing Garrett GT3582 sitting here that I am not going to use..

I hope the engine will be 1,9 or 2,3ltr and I will probably use the turbo from the 2,2ltr to keep costs down.
Tnx for the offer though.

Sorry man, but I only have recollection of 1,2ltr and 2,2 N/A and 2,2 T before that?

The idea with the small turbo feeding the big turbo worked, as the boost rose super gradually when the big turbo came on after the small one reached wastegate boost, but I seized the engine right afterwards...
So I don't have any more impressions then that one time dual spool-up of both turbos.

Oil supply to the crank and bearings seems to be the largest weakness of the 1200 Motor. I wanted to drill the oil gallies to 10mm and enlarge the holes in the bearing saddles.My idea was to build a compound system with an eaton compressor and turbo.However, it's another costly project that gets in the way of my type 4 turbo project and reliability vs. cost vs. horsepower isn't feasable consideringmy experience with the 1200 challenges in the past.Maybe someday I'll pick it up again and invest into it.

Yup, you're right!

If anybody wants details on how I made it, just say so.

I'd love to get details on the roof spoiler and the rain gutter panels you made.
