Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | Got the subframe fitted to the car tonight, fitted my new Avo shocks and came across a problem where the shocks bottom out before the bump stop  so I made a nice sturdy bracket to lower the bottom mount by 30mm problem solved  | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | I got the engine mounted today, type b diff fitted to a c6 pg1 gearbox and also fitted to the car (not pictured) Very happy with the new turbo as it gives an extra 1.5" of space between radiator and turbo compared to the gt20 which was always a close fit    | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | Well its all done and running very well. Currently running actuator pressure plus a little around 9 psi. Feels very strong pull, just need to go to rolling road and gently up the boost until im happy.    | ||

Least amount of parts falling off/breakdowns wins? (The bets in your favor atm) | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | I took the metro for a health check on the rolling road to get accurate fuelling checked. Still on the standard zandf map, all seems good and good old mems has adjusted well to the new turbo. My ecu is mapped to control boost @ 13 psi. I left the solenoid off and fitted a manual boost controller whilst checks were being done. We adjusted boost up to 11 psi for which it made 215 bhp and a good steady hold of torque at 182 lbft. I have now refitted the solenoid and running full 13 psi again, so my torque should be better next time if I go back  | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | Well 2 weeks in, running bigger gt2560 turbo on an high mileage turbo k series. Zero issues  Loving every minute of the drive to pol and back, clocking up around 400 miles on that day with lots of abuse when I can safely of course. Cant wait to get it up santapod  | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | fitted a mid silencer today to try and get rid of some of the bass I get around 3-4k rpm. It made a nice difference but still get a little booming around 3k when I lift off the throttle  As you can see my rear box is not exactly massive either but im happy with it now  Also fitted a switch to my boost solenoid, so I can run real low actuator pressure around 7 psi ish or full fat 13 psi on solenoid, this is in hope to help me at santapod in first gear  Edited by R100_vvc 21/4/2015 8:53 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | little update, the car seem to feel little off. So I removed the inlet manifold and discovered the inlet gasket had kind of disintegrated on every port! never had a problem like this before so I put it down to using a cheap shit gasket.   So rather then refit a standard manifold, I decided to fit a vvc inlet manifold with the 52mm throttle body. No port matching done, just bolted straight on. I only had a mems2 vvc inlet so just drilled and fitted the mems3 map sensor to the front of the plenium which seems to work fine.   and fitted a nice little coin tray for my keys  I also fitted a 12 psi actuator as the standard 6 psi actuator seem to struggle to stay shut causing boost to drop as I think it was getting blown open at high rpm, and the end result was very good. Seems to have less lag, a lot more response on and off boost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEMMzxk1cNI&feature=youtu.be A video with a pull from 3rd gear Edited by R100_vvc 1/5/2015 10:43 PM | ||
