it's done, glens turbo results

[Sean]

question for turbo gurus, what sort of power (kw/atw) can i expect for every 1 pound i add with these motors?

There are way too many variables to suggest a figure, turbo size and compressor efficiencies will change everything!

When I changed turbos I picked up 20hp, despite running lower boost!

so when you changed did you go larger or smaller turbo.
as i understand it larger turbo take longer to spool up but are stronger once going. i thought smaller turbo's are good for small applications.
i think mine is good for around 12 psi according to factory specs but have been pushed alot harder.

I made more power on a smaller turbo.

Partly due to lower intake temps with the bigger turbo, but in the end it's all a balancing act.

Too big and you won't get it spooled up early enough for fun on teh street, too little and you'll not make any topend, and things will get REALLY hot if you try to push a bunch of boost through it.

just another question, only if you are running tdo4 aswell.....at what rev are you hitting full boost
thanks

Not running a td04...

F0r reference I can make 21 at 4800 with the 2871R.

no cheap stuff in this project champ

you calling me a whore!

What he really means to say is that he paid shelf price for everything. What's in your shopping list, Dunksy?

[Dunksy]

yeah i paid to much for everything first project guess i learn't all the con's and pro's now

[glen73]

i had of done a better job of the wiring for the ecu, had the original 460 injectors been fine, i would have had it all done for $3000 on the road.
i went $1500 over budget.

You've got the experience now for when you do upgrades, anyway.

[Dunksy]

funny were all in diferrent states could of went for a run, all well one day we all might meet up

[glen73]

we could do a serious turbo run a tour of tassie would be nice



any of you guys have one of these



i finished work early today, decided to try and put this in but the instructions are in jap and i don't understand them.
any help would be good


the way it is in the picture......is that the order of all the parts when fitted?

[jules]

Let me get this right Glen?

You have the ability to do your own turbo, and put in an ECU, but you cannot put a short shifter in that is attached by 3 bolts!

I think with your abilities, you might find this a piece of piss

lol
the order on the picture is wrong to way it goes.
i did put it in but had a part left over lol.
russelb has sent some instructions which have helped

[Russellb]

have you had another go at it yet ?????
they are SWEET when you get them in
