Seems a good price for a turbo mani. Just depends on build quality.

ryanmt · 24th October 2009, 15:10

Build qualitys alright, the pipes are stainless, flanges are mild/chromed.

Weldings good, fitment seems a bit off though, the flange to the head will need some attention so it actually fits. Ovaling some holes and cutting a bit off the bottom.

Gaskets it comes with look rubbish too! and 3bolt wastegates are rare as hell. Not sure why its got that flange on it atall. Its easy to remove though.

Wheres the best place to get a turbo from? That i know is going to be good condition and not fooked? Also dump valve and t piece? How much would management cost to buy if decided to get standalone?

ben_vts · 26th October 2009, 18:26

You looking for a 2nd hand turbo.?? £650 will see you into the standalone management world with a pred ecu. Its what iam running and a few others are planning to use. Good bit of kit like.

Ye cant afford new atm. Was thinking t25 but now going for vts so not sure to stick with that idea still or t2,t28? How much would injectors cost, not expensive ones?

The “T” only refers to the turbo format. Take a look at the T25 flange with TB25 core that most people call a T25. You could get one with say a 47mm turbine and 51mm compressor yet another could have a with 53mm turbine and 60mm compressor. As you can see one is much bigger than another. Or in more simple terms look at the T3 that they fitted to the MG Metro turbo that had some 90bhp or so so had a really small T3. Yet the Ford Escort Cosworth also has a T3 and that has over 200bhp. So you can see its going to be a much bigger T3. You have to use the correct spec turbo for your application. Same is true for your injectors.

What car is that from?

ben_vts · 27th October 2009, 01:33

The GT17 is the turbo CiTuning uses on their kits. The turbo iam running mate. Il give it the thumbs up like

we found the injectors to use realy cheap on an American website. You can find the link on my progress thread mate. Save yourself over 100quid on them.

Should i stick with vtr box or get vts to go with engine. Want it to pick up well and have good acceleration. What sort of extra top end would it have adding a turbo? Just wundered as know that turbo give more top end.

Again all depends on spec. Say your running one bar of boost you would not wish to gear it down at all. If you got the gearing correct well over 150mph is easily possible. The old DP car running 1.1 bar hit 160mph before it ran out of gears. These are terrible cars to run at these speeds though even on a 2 and a half mile long airfield that is wider that a football fields you really are taking your life in your hands.

Looks nice. Would like a wideband but are abit too expensive atm.

ryanmt · 28th October 2009, 10:30

Thats just the gauge, no sensor or controller.

jsdvtr · 28th October 2009, 14:48

What sort of thing would you recommend. I like the alpha ones with the leds.
