pwptf get's a new turbo

[rob77]

SO when will it all be done paul?

[Guest INASNT]

when u gonna run your car down the 1/4 rob??

[rob77]

Probably not till the works is all done. Its school holidays in 5 or so weeks time, so the car can go to sst's for a couple of days to have the injectors pulled out and sent off for cleaning and flow testing. I also want to do a compression test on the engine to make sure its all A1 before the wolf3d goes in and we start leaning on it a bit harder. I expect I'll be down there in a couple of months, summer/wednesday night drags might be back on then which will be better for me, sunday's my only day off so I like to keep it reasonably free, usually just do some gardening or vege out infront of the tv, or go for a cruise or go to a winery with the missus etc etc

Depends on the guy doing the ceramic coating. Everything else will be done, so once we get the stuff back it's a simple matter of bolting it all on:D Will have it tuned early next week:D

[rob77]

I think I might have to swap to one of these manifolds pending your results paul

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rob, Stop trying to copy me, you'll never be as cool as me:shake:

[rob77]

Pfft... copy? Nothing wrong with following tried and tested steps Your the one bolting on a big turbo just after I did mine

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rob, I've gone for a ball bearing turbo, not thrust bearing. There will be little simialrities in response:p

[GTS-t VSPEC]

After looking at the stock manifold, I'm pretty happy with my decision:D

[rob77]

Yeah yeah, lets get it on the car and see the dyno results first

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Haha, I hope I'm right, otherwise I'm in for hell:D

If thats the case a simular sort of manifold may make a reasonable difference to my turbo too.

[rob77]

4500rpm isnt that bad... once your going in 2nd and 3rd its good, first is boring till it breaks traction

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rob, I'll post pics of the two manifolds, might give you a good idea of the difference:D I'm sure it would help spool yours quicker, just don't know by how much.

[rob77]

So long as it can be fitted without moving the turbo so I dont have to have new intercooler/dump pipes made that would be good, plus being so low mount its not so noticeable

[rob77]

A couple of people, one from a turbo place over in QLD, have said that it also spools up slower because of where the wastegate has been mounted, I wonder if there is any truth in that.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Rob, Can have a manifold made low mount, and keep it very closer to it's current location. I'm sure the wastegate is having minor effect on spooling, it's just the design of the turbo that makes it laggier.

[rob77]

well, smaller exhaust housing will mean less lag, but less HP then I think I perfer the HP kick in the top end, puts you back in the seat hard

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I went for response over top-end power, but the 600hp turbo will bolt straight on if I change my mind:D

[Guest INASNT]

whats the pricing of this manifold?
