Turbo or not Turbo...

[Prof]

Well I went for a sort of inbetweeny - sort of Option 1 with a bit of HT18S in it, the exducer wheel is from a T3, but in an HT18s housing, and is high flowed, wastegate is ported to allow boost above 12 PSI, and the front end is a T04B with a .60 wheel on it.
 
A piccy:

I knew you would not settle for the stocker for too long Prof..heheheheheheh :evillaugh

[grinder]

where did you source that from matey

is it a direct bolt no with no exhaust mods ?

and finally - how much

Stu

[Prof]

Its coming from California - including postage - but not duty and VAT - we\'ll see how much that stings me - it was £378 all in.  Most of it is all new parts as well, and it\'s oil and water cooled just like the old one is.
 
Direct bolt on - no need for new manifold or exhaust, and with my 3" decat exhaust and HKS mushy this is going to be pumping some big air.
 
Now I know that when the engine next needs a rebuild I am going to have to get a street port done ! :bandit (When that happens I will go to 800\'s on the primary rail as well, and up the fuel pressure a tad)
 
But with a boost controller and the extra fuelling I have planned, this should net me about 330-350 on the fly with the engine as is (look out FD boyz)
 
So I need to get all my suspension sorted before this goes in.:2eek

Prof,

Have you trial fitted the turbo yet

I\'ve just done a quick mock up on my workbench of my HKS manifold - T3-T4 Adaptor - GT35 Turbo.

I dont think it\'s going to fit

You could\'nt measure the distance from the housings to body for me please i cant get to mine at the mo

Paul ,

from the way the post reads - i would say that its not here yet

Stu

[paul3944]

Sorry :Hammer

[Prof]

Sorry Paul - as Stu says, I have only payed for this bad boy today !
 
Expect it to be here in about a week all being well.
 
From memory, the HKS manifold brings the turbo quite a way out from the engine, the one I am buying bolts straight onto the standard manifold, so it will sit much closer to the engine like the stock tubby does.  The only difference is the compressor housing on the front is a little bigger, and the piping will need to be 3" onto the compressor.
 
Does your manifold have the piping for the external wastegate ?

[paul3944]

Yes mate,

Its the cast iron version with the piping for a wastegate.

gonna be a serious car matey

how you gonna sort the fueling - the emanage system

im still tempted by the microtech

got some new toys lined up for mine aswell - i will start a thread when they ALL arrive

Stu

[Prof]

Excellent stuff Stu - I can see there are going to be some serious FC\'s at next years events - Mark (Sadgoth) should have his running by then as well.
 
There just has to be an RSIV now !:driving :guinness :cool
 
Good idea about the thread - I was thinking along the same lines - pictures of all the goodies before they go on, and some after shots as well.

Would go for after market ecu. Front mount or V mount i/c. put afpr on it, Would not worry about uprating the injectors they flow well and can make over 400 rwhp. I admit I had insane rail pressure but the stock 550 all round can make over 400 rwhp. With that tubby I suspect 350 fwhp> I say this cos i made 450 rwhp with a t04R and there isn\'t much more that can be done to my setup

[88GT-R]

550\'s will die being used on the road at high pressure. Be warned!

LOL :rollin
 
Seems my Tubby went on holiday to Germany ! :Hammer :cool
 
Chappy was good about it though, and has dispatched another one that is on a plane as we speak heading towards London - expected to be with me by the 4th October. :driving
 
So got to wait a little longer for new toys :2Confused

[grinder]

germany - blimey - not local then !! LOL
