Many people say that they have problems with their turbo cars such driving in the low revs and over heating on long journeys . i would like to know what could be done to make cars using big turbos more reliable for frequent use.

Do you have any lightweight engine parts installed like lightweight flywheel and carbon propshafts and cams these can cut some weight .

u havent mentioned changing your fuel tank . there are aluminium and plastic tanks available

yup. it sounds strange. ask somebody who builds top fuelers/funny cars etc. maybe they will be able to give you more info on this

if anybody is planning on using methanol please dont forget to wear your race suits as the marshals might not know what fuel u are using. a methanol flame is not so easy to detect your are most likely to feel it before you see it

have u tried racing with semi slicks on your car yet?

it will on be bouncy on circuits where roads may not be level. and when u change gears on a straight a stiffer suspension will prevent the nose of the car from diving

your best would be to use a product like loctite thread lock and bolts and studs from ARP these products are designed to do the job. there may be a torque setting for bearing caps be careful do not over tighten rather use torque wrench .

i would like to give anyone tips on building a strong turbo car. just tel me what car you have

A torque converter provides a variable gear ratio and acts as a an automatic clutch. i believe that it is more effecient at low rpm as engine gains speed the increase in torque is reduced and latter there is no increase in torque. i dnt no auto box so well

listen to the engine note. if the dail moves up and down during idle(hunting) or take it for a dyno run and read the graph to see if the power is different to the manufactures quoted power
