The Drive Home Went Flawlessly Until I Pulled In For a Cup Of Tea and Noticed Smoke From The Turbo!!! After Much Swearing To Myself I Found It Was Just A Bad Oil Feed Seal Leaking A Small amount Of Oil Onto The Hotside Of The Turbo And Smoking Like A Cu^t.

Replaced With A Copper Washer And Its 100%.

I \'m just interested mate, what is the \'race spec\' aspect of your apex seals?
When you say "Full Fuel System Upgrade" have you gone as far as fitting a fuel cell with aeroquip lines etc?

To Be Honest Man, Carl Sourced All Of The Parts For Me So Im Just Going By The List That He Gave Me, The Apex Seals.....Bloody Expensive So They Would Want To Be Special!
And I Ment To Type \'Fuel System Upgrade\' Not \'Full\',
So Pump,Injectors And FPR.

Nice setup. You might want to put some heat shileds around your turbo....you know just so you dont burn anything important like your heater hose that looks like it runs right past the turbo, also that nice blue siicone hose runing over the top needs protection from your exposed DP. Just looking out for you.
 
Do you know the AR of the turbine? Keep us posted on the tune Im interested to know your power figures. That turbo is a GT3582R right? OR something els that has the same name GT35R ?

The A/R Is .70 And Its A Gt3540r.
And Heat Shields Are Being Fabricated As We Speak :Thumbs-up

Haaa good man. Yes thats a GT3582R....that is what Garret call them now. Its the same turbo I have. Mine is the largest turbine AR you can get for this turbo, 1.06. I hope yours is too. Looks like you have the V-band clamp setup. My DP is bolted on.
 
What type of dyno is it going to be tuned on? I have had some strange results from my setup so Im always interested to find out what others get.

It will be tuned on the A34, Hayward rotary do not have a dyno.

Yea as far as I know it used to be a GT35/40R then they changed it to a GT3582R.
If Im wrong please someone correct me.
 
So tuned on the Road aye? O well no power figure then.

from the before and after pics, it looks as if your car was pretty standard engine wise at the beginning. Then you had the single turbo conversion/porting/v-mount/fuel upgrade etc etc done by hayward rotary?

If thats the case would you mind putting a break down of the prices you paid? as im interested in something very similar.

thanks.

Post by: Carl on August 12, 2008, 08:30:56 PM
Prices may vary due to rising costs that have happened very recently in pretty much everything parts wise so what John has paid would not now be very relevant.
Regards
Carl

Awesome car. If you want to sell it let me know :D
Beautiful work as per from Hayward, especially the details like the tray for cold air feed attached/welded to the IC.

(Although maybe I think he should be called; Carl \'Cable Tie\' Hayward, from now on ;) ;))
