Location: Swindon, Wilts		And by standard z@f map is it the 190bhp or 210bhp map?

Any reason you chose the gt25 over the gt28?

Also fusion fabrication maybe doing a tubular turbo manifold for the k-series soon for the gt range turbos

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Don't think the fusion manifold will fit, gt25 is a nice size, comes on full boost at 3k rpm. Don't need a massive turbo on standard internals.
I just wanted a more efficient turbo.

I think its his later map, I running manual boost control now as found the ecu controlled boost control allows boost to drop of at high rpm.
Now it holds 12 psi ish all the way to the top

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Decided to make a metro gti style tail pipe

The original boring tail pipe




started with a 45 degree bent stainless 2.5" pipe




Cut with a grinder and polished up

Good

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Had a good go up santapod drag strip, was a good turn out with alot of other metros turning up
Managed to crack in to the 12'S

Can now do comfy 12.7 seconds @ 113 mph on road tyres and full trim. i did do a few runs with no rear seats or front passenger seat,
but times didnt change

Location: sittingbourne, kent		I was going to Go emerald ECU, But decided i would give Mark from Kmaps a try to see what he can do with the stock mems3 ecu (formally ZandF tuning) i was very happy with the results and saved myself alot of money instead of going stand alone ecu

yea the torque line is really impressive, i know it was tempting to raise the limiter but not sure the standard internals would handle it

Comparing it to the Gt20 turbo at 11-12 psi

Location: Jelling, Denmark		It looks like this new setup has moved everything up the range by 1000rpm. I have no idea what rpm a standard bottom end can take but it would be fun to see the new graph for 500rpm more. by the looks of the graph the peak of the power curve would be somewhere in the 7000-7500rpm range.

Yea pretty much, my standard head may struggle to flow much more. There is a bloke running over 360 hp and limit 7500rpm on a standard k turbo bottom end with vvc solid cam head, You may have seen it in a very wild looking Lotus elise time attack car. All he has done to the bottom end is made the compression rings have more ring gap to prevent them pinching them up from the heat.

Location: Jelling, Denmark		Yes i have seen that car although he isnt on here much any more he posts on mg-rover.org where i have been reading a bit. Its a cool car but didn't he swap the rover engine for a toyota engine of some sort?

Yes i did read about ring gap the other month but have never adjusted it on an engine. Not even the one i race.

I am slowly collecting parts for a K series turbo and I am very inspired by this thread. Very clean and almost original looking car with that much power. Top work!
