Ok Fig's are in for Hellboy! Torque about 490nm so not bad, 120kw :redface: :thumbdown: he is only allowing booste of 0.3 bar!! So have given Thys the go ahead to do the upgrades, gearbox cooler, boost compensator, larger fuel pump, Timing gear 60-2 or 36-1, getting rid of the dizzy and fitting 3 x twin coil pack, larger airfilter with new airbox linked to my snorkel

150-160 kw here we come :thumbup: :biggrin: :biggrin:

P S was quite a bit out with my pricing on the turboing :redface: with the rand/Dollar we are now closer to R85K for a turbo conversion on the 4.8 and only about R6-7K cheaper on the petrol 4.2 GQ :surprised:

PPS the standard 4.2 petrol GQ pushes about 70Kw on the rear wheels on the dyno so 120Kw is a 71% increase but 150kw sounds better with 114% increase :blonde: :woo:

This is impressive, would love to see some pictures of the GQ setup, so the internals of the 4.2&4.8 petrol is up to the task for a turbo but not the 4.5 petrol if I understand correctly?
