Boosted B in a race series??
Hey people.
Anyone using a boosted b series in a race series? Track, not drag.
How are you finding reliability?
Cooling?
Anything you advise?
Thinking of entering a race at my local track.
Would mean 20 hard mins or so on the engine.
Normally I do stints of 15 mins with alternate hard laps

For any track turbo setup - Get an oil cooler and full or oversized radiator. Duct it all. Add venting above the turbo & behind the radiator.
Also if you are not running a complete vband setup, safety wire or Stage 8 locking nuts are your best friend. It's only a matter of time before turbo parts start coming loose mid session. I'm running stage 8 locking nuts on the turbo and safety wire on the wastegate and downpipe.

Re: Boosted B in a race series??
Road racing a turbo car is going to take way more radiator than most people think. Youre going to want a "full size" radiator, and ducting to get the air through it, and maybe ducting to get the air out (i.e. extractor vent on the hood).
As mentioned above, turbo hardware can be problematic. Bolts loosening and stud stretching can be a real pain. Safety wire will stop the nuts from loosening, and Inconel studs wont stretch. V-bands are expensive, but worth it.
Thin walled turbo manifolds that work on drag and street cars will fail on the track. Either go with a good cast manifold for get something made out of schedule 40 pipe. Bracing on weight bearing welds and a support on the downpipe are worth the effort.
