I managed to smoke my Volvo Turbo back in the day. To get over it I went out and got a old Datsun 280Z and tricked it out with some body kit parts (sorta like the ones in the photo - but with much better paint job) and some - mmmmm - "slight" modifications to the suspension - wheels and rims - exhaust - custom paint - modded cam, crank, lifters, valves, - then my wife crashed it (she didn't get a scratch)

Thank God your wife didn't had a scratch!

You have to be a real !^&#$&%^(#O(* to breakdown a Japanese Turbo engine.
I never got the chance to get smoke out of one! I did try tho

I was almost 20 at that time, that's more than 27 years ago

Dear Nelson,

Is the faceplate for "internal consumption only" or does this mean that the F5 Turbo will be a available commercially after all?

Q,
will Road Runner get there in time to "catch" before the Big Event?

BTW,
I have never had a petrol turbo. The only turbos I have had, have all been diesel.

Rectifier recommandation

@ All

Because i am building my F5 with the RBF-003 rectifier briges pcb from Sjostrom Audio

i am thinking about the rectifier diode...

Any thoughts about the Ixys DPG 30 C 200 HB ???

This one has a very soft recovery behaviour. I think the most important point.

Seems like it would be easier to use IXYS bridges or similar.

Maybe he already has the P-A boards, and 4 of the DPG30C200 are cheaper ? :clown:

(mm, why does the back of my head hurt every time someone mentions power diode ?)

Zen Mod · 2012-01-11 3:23 pm

maybe because you have drekload of them ?

:clown:

jacco vermeulen · 2012-01-11 3:24 pm

Ouch, there it is again.

The DPG30C200 looks affordable though.

As with the F6, I have 10 faceplates. Distribution as gifts only.

There are several options, the base being an F5 with a few parts altered
and an extra pair of outputs. After that it gets a little crazier.
