Bitza made 241 HP@ the wheels on 14 psi with a TO3/4 and VR4.

What turbo ya running and aftermarket injection?

Great looking engine bay. Nice work.

its a td05 20g with td06 comp cover, microtech ecu, billet fuel rail, malpassi reg, 650cc injectors, cometic headgasket, stainless manifold and dump-pipe, 2.5" cooler piping, cold air intake (pod normally mounted down in guard with heatshield) just waiting on getting a 3" exhaust fitted before getting it tuned, will run 20psi on the dyno

That should make 300HP no worries!

yeh hopefully should i 'run-in' the turbo before winding it to 20psi and getting it tuned?? im runnin it on 10psi atm
havent even done 100k's with it on yet..
cheers!

looking good mate. Cant wait to see it at 20psi. Should be heaps of fun!

Looks pretty mad!

Nice shiney engine bay. The black paint certainly helps to highlight it even more.

You might want to consider an LSD though so you can make best use of all those horses. I am running 280HP ATW's presently and it's probably the best modification i have ever made...no shit.

Anyway your going to have a ball with this car when it's finished.

yehh got a real problem with wheelpspin even on 14psi atm, can you PM details of your lsd? i'll either be looking at a gearbox rebuild and fitting an lsd or fitting a later model gearbox of some sort but heard alot of different things bout gearbox changes n not entirely sure what i'd be in for lol..
cheers for the comments!

I am just running a KAAZ 1.5 way. Apparently it is the same unit used on most mitsubishis. Probably best to give the distributor a call but don't expect any change out of $1600! There is a ralliart version around which is significantly cheaper but they are as rare as hen's teeth. I don't know how it compares to the KAAZ though.

If you want to pay a shite load of money in engineering costs and go to the effort of cutting your firewall, replacing cables etc, then go the VR-4. Personally, I wouldn't worry about running anything other than a cordia box because they generally are a good thing. The Jap spec AC is apparently the strongest. It's the sheer clamping force required from the clutch to hold this kind of power that is usually the cause of gearbox breakage.

Hope I have been helpful.

Really need one to for Bitza, get one wheel spinning and your fighting with the steering and accelerator to keep it straight.

I have an lsd in the box that's currently in the car, But the box has lost its short gearing because the actuator shaft is jammed out. Doe's anyone know how easy it is to fix...because these long ratio's are giving me the shits, The lag between 1st and 2nd gear is rediculous.

Im thinking of just totally pulling the box out and changing the diff's over i really dont have much of an idea when it comes to gearbox tech

Your 5th gear fork is stuck or broken. Your going to have to SPLIT the box to find out.

Heres a pic:



Hope this helps.

The cars come a long way mate. Well done
