A single is conceived, few month before she is born?

[123tom123tom]

oooooh dear I have gone and done it haven\'t I... Bought lots of shiney new bits!!!
 
I have got to the turbo\'s on my car, stripped various bits down to find oil in the intercooler, and piping, play in the 1st turbo and ridiculous play in the 2nd. Oil all over the 1st turbo hot side inside and out?. Also various pipes have perished gone hard and snapped, especially the ones that around the turbo area. This is linked to my other thread and problems I had there.
 
I have took the plunge and started buying single turbo conversion items.
 
-uprated intercooler
-down pipe  (to be modified 3" vband)
-manifold
-hks 50mm wastegate, with screamer
-FPR
 
the above is bought and in the post...
 
This is a out of the blue build and I will be asking lots of questions and doing a build report with pics. I wont be going for the best of everything but not the real :censored: either. This is a project for me just to kill a bit of time when the BODYSHOP isn\'t busy.
 
- first question how the hell do I determine what to keep out of that mess under the intake manifold...

Make sure you get a Aftermarket ECU and boost controller, an uprated fuel pump............................................... (The list will go on !)

id loose all of it just keep the emission valve near the filler cap if you want,also worth blanking manifold and removing airpump while apart,will clean it up loads,most of the rats nest is for twins and emmisions,apart from fuel regluator hence get a new one,id lose coolant on throttle body and double throttle too.

Any one know if the below figure will be any good for a rotary, what kind of spool up etc would I expect and limitation top end if any??? haven\'t bought the turbo yet but any suggestions what size... I am wanting to do a bit of drifting but maintain a good top end aswell... A inbetween setup bit good at everything and not excellent at one thing if that makes sense...  Quick question also is what fuel pressure would you set the car at as a standard to get it to a place for mapping??? what is the stadard fuel pressure I surpose is the question??


Inlet: 56.6mm || outlet:75mm || A/R: 0.7 || Trim: 75
Turbine
Ind 74.4mm || Exd: 58.4mm || A/R: 0.7 || Trim: 78

if you are drifting you need to add on a large uprated radiator and electric fans on both the radiator and intercooler

few pics of progress I made today. Then bloody turbo are easy in theory to get off but when a turbo nut decides it aint going budge its like hell on earth?? spanner rash coolant in face, bumps on head and so on and so on.... My hands are killing me.
 
My main problem which I have got is the rats nest, what to take off and more importantly what to leave on??? I want to leave the fuel pressure regulator and solenoid on until it comes to mapping the car!!
 
There is a picture above where it shows two pipes capped off what do I do with these if anything. Also which oil drain do I use and where do I get the blanking kit for the other...
 
Cheers tom

WHAT blanking plates do I need for a single turbo build?? is it just the rear oil drain kit, or would I benefit from the egr kit also??? PLEASE let me know asap so I can order from DM on here I think is the best place!!
 
regards tom

I thought you only need the EGR kit. I\'m not all that sure about a rear oil return. Although its a long time since I swapped to a single turbo (about 4yrs !)

yes you have two oil returns when you remove the twins? but you dont need them both, you only use the front one?? Also as part of the egr kit you get the aws blanking?  is this nessesary or not

[shaunwil]

I never fitted the EGR stuff myself. WGT did it before I went over to a single Turbo. I did make a blanking plate out of thick aluminium on the UIM / LIM.

Any of the main tuners should be able to sell you the parts you need.

Check out //www.dm-Motorsport.co.uk they have blanking kits that\'s where I\'m guna get mine from

Hope this helps

Just been looking at C-26 in the factory manual and the only oil return is at the front of the engine going into the front plate ! I\'m sure the turbos are tied together into a single return.
