As some of you know one of my turbo's ceased on the way to Billing last weekend.

It's been on the cards for some time now as they are stock turbo's which have been on the car from new (i.e. 15 years and 80k miles).

 

I'm hoping that only the turbo's need changing and no other damage has been done. There are no metal filings in the boost hoses and the car still idles fine (although a little smokey from the passenger side).

The car is currently sitting on my parents drive in Maldon (Essex) which is 5 mins from SE (hopefully I won't need to go there after I finish :rofl: ).

 

I'm going to be doing the work myself.

 

I'm looking at fitting the following:

JWT 530bb's

Weisco forged pistons

Greg Dupee Split downpipes

Nismo 555 injectors

Doolz Twin pop

555 chip for Doolz

 

I'm looking at doing the following:

Removing the EGR system

Under plenum water hoses bypass

Removing the excess flashing from the internal rear water pipes

 

I'm also considering:

Removing the hicas

Fitting an NA rear Diff

Apexi Fuel controller to map Doolz with dual MAF

 

Quite a few of you have said you will help which is great :bow: as I find you always have more confidence working with someone.

 

I currently have 360ish RWHP and 390ish RW Torque (Thor Dyno)

What sort of figure do you think I will be looking at once this lot is in and mapped up.

 

Also anyone have any comments about the above set up ?. Any know problems with any of the parts ?. Any reason they won't work together ?

One thing I can vouch for on your list are the pistons. I had these in my jetski and it was tuned to the absolute limits and never missed a beat. They were the only pistons to have really.

As always, glad to help out in any way mate, learn a bit myself along the way.

Since ur goin to open the engine for the pistons then if u have the time it would be a good idea to do some work on both plenums also do u have aftermarket intercoolers?

Wow, big project to undertake yourself :bow: . Hope all goes well, you can have my services if needed, not that I can do a lot. Tea and cake handout maybe?

SpecialityZ inconel manifolds ;) Oh yeah, get the PE1420s instead, you know you wanna :D Just for comparison, the 1420s only flow 2% less than TD05-16Gs :eek: :D Niiiiice ;)

 

Then you'll have a car easily capable of ~500RWHP (with proper tuning of course). Worth looking at getting the heads ported too IMO ;)

sounds fun ;) As always, happy to give you a hand.

 

Don't think you need dual MAF with the Doolz, as the air is balanced by the design.

 

I think you need to source an NA rear subframe to fit the NA diff, and a new prop (though I think you knew that :D)

I'd go for (preferably) escort, or pentroof manifolds rather than dupree, the design of them is terrible TBH.

Also, speak to Ginn about 550bb turbos, 530's without paying for the JWT name by all accounts.

Think for the NA diff you have to change the whole subframe. Go CUSCO with a lower ring gear might be a better idea, stronger than the NA one and a plate type as well. Lot more $$ though :(

Stuart , looks scary but once you get amongst it its really quite easy all of the above is bolt on so there should be no probs , would opt for the wiseco pistons without the coating as there is still some confusion as to how long the coating last's and the difference this would make in pison bore size, would also recommend that you have the bottom end balanced , at the moment on mine there is no additional vibrational difference from 1krpm-3.5krpm the engine runs as smooth as silk , something else to consider is getting the heads and block deck matched as there are usually out from factory

 

Good luck

Spot on John

 

there is no way the NA diff will fit without the NA subframe

I'd go for (preferably) escort, or pentroof manifolds rather than dupree....(

 

 

Go on then John, how many £££???? :D

Go on then John, how many £££???? :D

 

The escort ones are $2200 from AMZ's website

SpecialityZ inconel manifolds ;) Oh yeah, get the PE1420s instead

 

No dont LOL

Stu what power will a N/A diff take? you will loose your top end:(

Spot on John

??????? Go on then why? :confused: :confused: :confused:

 

Because the TT diff fits the NA subframe and The NA looks like it would go into the TT Subframe infact the look the same castings. The props are different and may be the Drive shafts but ??? Please I 'm interested because I just used a TT in a NA subframe.

The Escorts are generally regarded as the best there is and have been proven to outflow the pentroofs etc. But they're $2210 :eek: Just beat me to it Jaffa!

GMS550BB's some in at $2300 vs $3200 for JWT530's.

All these prices are just straight off AMZ website, so you can probably pick it all up cheaper.

Stu the Na diff is more suited to cars around the 400bhp mark by all accounts, as you should be about the 500 mark it may be a little bit fierce!

OMG I want some :D

Has the problem with PE1420's been fixed? There are a few in the states that won't boost over a certain amount, because the wastegate flap opens the opposite way to normal and can catch the downpipes, therefore limiting boost

I think I have just shot my bolt :eek:

 

Stu, have a word with smithy about the GP pipes as they are designed for series two exhausts, he was gonna have a pair fitted to see if there are any probs?

Also, speak to Ginn about 550bb turbos, 530's without paying for the JWT name by all accounts.

 

John is there any info on these?

No,they fall apart running over 17psi LOL.

 

Did you see that e-mail from PE?

I thought Stue said down pipes not manifolds? :confused:

He did,but half the trouble on here is people dont read :rofl: anyway go easy on Duffer as he is not a trained mechanic like PaulC:D;)

Durrrr Mac :tongue: Try reading yourself!!! I suggested he added the manifolds to the list ffs :rolleyes: :D

Dont get arsey with me Stick man just because Paul won best tec trophy and FFS to you :rofl:

Time of the month darling? LMAO
