Tidgy

So its fitted and mapped. And bejesus does or go well. As expected it's being held back spool and top end by a few things, tmic, headers and sports cat to name a few. But man I drives well. Low down its happy as Larry just pootling round, then when it comes on boost all hell breaks loose and it just fecks off, and keeps fecking off right up to red line. So in the end it made 381bhp and 390ftlb, on 1.4bar 😮 Given it's a 500+ turbo and being limited it's a pretty epic result with plenty more to come.

😄 yeah, wont stay that way for long, but hey ho haha more bwaaaaappppp and tssshhhhhh incoming

So here it is, well, the only pic I have at the min hahaha

honest answer is not entirley sure. turbos good for the full 500, so gonna be limited by a few things, TMIC, standard headers, ecu and clutch. in theory around 400ish depending on what those cry enough at.

So, over night (that wern't so overnight) parts from america have arived, mianly a nice white box about a foot square 😄 Injectors have been done and existing turbo removed, should just be acase of fitting new turbo, and reassmbling all the other bits and its ready for mapping next week 😄

😄

welcome, a scoob is a scoob, turbo or not turbo 😄

Update coming soon after a bit more fettling 😄

no idea about valve springs im afraid, i know mine had supertech valve kit in it, but not sure on the specifics im afraid.

tbh i;ve never heard of anyone swapping 2.5 cams in over here, not that that means it hasnt been done of course.

will very much depend on whats due at that service.

WHP is US figures and is somewhat , well very, over egged compared to ours. 450 horse power at the wheels would put the figure around 560bhp at the fly wheel over here, which isn't possible on the turbos they claim do the figures etc. My advice, don't use nasioc for tuning info, they have a very strange way of doing things at times and massively over egg results. So, that said, what are your actual goals? a well setup 300bhp car will walk all over a 500bhp badly setup car and be alot more fun even with the lower power. what shell are you using do to it? how extreme are you actualy going to go? full bare shell with cage, or still in road trim? What block are you going to use? is it worth getting a closed deck block? Road and race use are very very different animals, as well are multi lap race vs time attack.

no i odnt mean forged, i mean as in replaced the crank bearings? they often take damage when the HG goes.

did you get the bottom end done?

Fair do's, was worth a shot anyway. Mine needed a new pump not long back as it was whining even with proper fluid level

The system is a proper !Removed! to bleed, top it yp again and seeing that sorts it.

as above, unless your parking it for weeks at a time you shouldnt have any battery charge issues unless there is a fault somewhere

cheers 🙂

Ah bummer 😞 although I'm not surprised

cheers 😄

once the damage is done, its done

i would always have it mapped after an engine build, bear in mind your changing the whole internal airflow of the engine, the bores will be slighlty enlarged due to material removal during honing etc etc not to mention you wouldn;t want to be runnign the map from a duff engine on a nice new one

not always, check engine light is as reliable as the 2.5 hahaha

welcome, no matter what you do you wont get much more power out of it unless it's a turbo model, so if you want to mod then looks is about your only option 🙂

thread fail, no pics,,,, hahaha get some pics up lad
