Sts Turbo Setup

[thommo]

I've got a 2 and a quarter inch exhaust.

Restriction much?

Couple of things that bother me about this, but I'm def interested in seeing how it all turns out

[PM-R33]

Very keen to see pics. As others have said, the Mustang was the only car I have seen this done to.

I think it's 2 and a quater. Could be wrong. Will get back to you on it. Might have to be that size to keep the pressure up or something. Dunno!

[XRATED]

If it's between the exhaust manifold and the turbine housing, then it won't be a restriction...

Marty knows what he's doing.

Chuck up some pics.

Alrighty, finally got a picture. pretty straight forward. its just sitting in my boot at the moment. the waste gate wont sit how it is in the picture, i just sat it there so you could see it, it'll most likely be rotated a bit. looks a little scrappy but everthing you see there will be black except for the compressor housing and the tailpipe obviously. any questions just shoot away. oh and the tip of the exhaust should sit snug with the edge of the bumper. cheers

you can get defected in tas?? . interesting idea , what will shield the turbo from water?,speaking of , how will you get water and oil to the core??

[DVS JEZ]

that looks awesome. never seen that setup before, looks so simple, wonder how hard it would be to match turbo sizes etc

[Johny Bravo]

If you look closely theres a oil pump in the picture. I don't know all the details i just know that its all being taken care of!

this will be cool. MOAR UPDATES

do you have a rough idea when it'll be fitted? make sure to take heaps of pics.

[XRATED]

you can get defected in tas??

Yeah it was news to me too... Are cops in Tas really defecting people??? Bugger!

You should gut a gigantic muffler and install the whole lot in it... ha ha ha.

There's room for a short 3" muffler that can go on the back of the turbine.... help keep it a little quieter?

Love it

Justin.

OOOOOeeee....

Cut a hole in the boot floor and mount the intake/filter in the boot. Then cut a vent behind the licence plate so it can breathe...

[Johny Bravo]

like the idea xrated. Will talk to marty when he gets back monday. Had it dyno'd before it started getting work done. Had 76kW at the wheels and 220nm i think from memories. Got the papers sitting around somewhere. It did however have a stuffed gudgen pin. Luckily i got a new motor going in! When its installed i'll get more photo's for ya and i'll do a write up on it too.

Cheers fulla's.

You are worried about getting defected yet have a wastegate hanging out the ass of the car? hehe, this will be interesting.

Need more pics of it installed dude

[Johny Bravo]

it isn't installed yet. Will post those pictures when it has been done. Expecting it to be all done around wed-thursday. Will keep all you excited little children updated as i go.

Put me down as a non believer.

But interested in results none the less.

[Johny Bravo]

non believer of what?

[Rolls]

non believer of what?

of a turbo mounted 20m away from the runners and intake, it just sounds like massive lag and horrible pedal response.

[Johny Bravo]

we'll have to wait and see then.

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

i was watching some of these setups on youtube last night, they don’t seam that bed. mind you they were all on V8s.

im now seriously thinking about doing this to my disco with a shitty T04e i got lying around, more for when im towing and response isn’t an issue.

from factory it had 105kw@4500 and 250nm@3500 so anything extra will be appreciated

[Johny Bravo]

yeah if you've got what ya need laying around why wouldn't ya. I'll let ya know how it goes any way. Gotta have some power when ya towing ya beast around on a trailer.

Really hanging out to get my car back. You can only have so much fun when ya driving the girlfriends corolla.
