Im hopefully getting a very cheap TT on friday, and because its so cheap i want to enter the PPC £999.

 

It needs a new turbo so thought about fitting some 200sx T25's.

Ive been trying to find info on what is needed but cant find any so could someone point me in the right direction ?

 

Also ive been looking at 3sgte 430cc injectors but waiting on a message back to find out if they are high or low impedance ( they are denso side feed and should fit by the looks of them)

 

Has anyone had good results using ebay stuff ?

mainly SMIC and full exhausts systems ?

 

Any pointers would be appreciated ;)

tune it cheap and it will blow up in your face, youd be better off getting it serviced first, running 100% then having it remapped and upping the boost, you will notice very little difference in bhp with exhausts etc, without the ground work done, and it will most likely not respond well to being poked about, its the classic mistake with the vg.

Looks like it's a budget build, so with that in mind:

 

3SGTE injectors are 440cc side feed high impedance. If you want to do it on a tight budget, adapt some Impreza injectors or increase the fuel pressure (I run up to 450 BHP on stock 370s with adjustable FPR). eBay or 2nd hand for FMIC, exhaust, air filters etc. Get the elbows with the S13 T25s and weld them to fit the decats. Manual boost controller, colder plugs (BKR7E), remap or chip. Done.

Just because its done cheap, doesnt mean its been done wrong.

The car will be serviced and checked over once the engine has been removed and put back in ( to do the turbos and welding on the chassis legs.

 

Fitting different turbos where they are in the efficiency island rather than just upping the boost and pushing the standard ones beyond that so they put out hot air is a mistake. the engien needs to come out to change a turbo so why not fit something that improves the breathing of the engine.

 

And as for the exhaust you wont notice the increase, but it will make a difference and in conjunction with the other basic tuning mods provides the engine with an easier time to draw in and expel gases.

 

trust me i know a fair bit about engines and i am more than capable of tuning the VG on a budget without it blowing up.

 

NOZ, thanks for that il have a look for some subaru yellow's then, ive actually got some old intercoolers kicking about so i might make up my own replaceement side mounts and improve the ducting while im at it.

 

As for exhaust il see if i can find a cheap ebay one, i can tig my own exahust, but by the time ive bought enough 3 inch stainless, i wouldnt be far off the price of a new one.

 

Ive got numerous mig tips so will see what size is needed for the boost il require ( il decide that after more research)

 

Il drop you a message about a remap NOZ and see if we can do a deal etc :)

 

BTW im getting the car for 400 quid :D

Mig tips: No point. Use an MBC at least, or an electronic one if you have a spare kicking round. Less messing around, less spiking plus the ability to alter boost levels.

 

Look forward to hearing from you :)

Il see if i have a couple of MBC's kicking about, as i said though i need to do it all for less than £999 to qualify, i can sell bits off the car to help so hopefully can make a couple hundred back.

 

il pm you tonight mate

I make & sell MBCs if required. This kind of project is great, and a cheap Zed is perfect for it.

Ok ive just bought a 93 uk manual TT :D

It does need welding but the turbos are fine so not changing them, the chassis legs done need welding, it just surface rust.

 

NOZ ive sent you an email :)
