Ordered my gt35 turbo today with tial external wastegate from reyland. Got all the extras so that its ready to bolt in, Have also got the 4 inch blue pipe and larger airfilter for it.
My new wheelnuts, longer studs and spacers arrived today so over the weekend i will be fitting them to get my wheels to fit in the arch better.
In the morning im going to order my swedish plenum from Mike and possibly the 70mm Throttle body.....
Will i need this????
i think were gonna be more like high 500s with this spec now although i think 2x bd14 is bot the right way to go? Maybe a bd16 somewhere. im in the hands of the engine builder at the moment so i dont know.
Another point to make is that im buying all this stuff but the autronics is not going to go on for at least a month as i need to run it in and replenish some funds.
is it going to be run inble with all this extra stuff and only on greens and the same fueling as before. Im installing the engine back into the car so will prob have to go back to have the fuel adjusted
Any advice is always greatly appreciated as all this can get confusing
Thanks Guys
Hi, the BD 14`s are best suited to your application as the power band on the BD16`s is 3500 - 8500 RPM and are not really suitable on a road car as you would have next to no idle, flat below 3500 rpm and would need to rev it to 9000 rpm + to make use of them, ( and a dry sump system !! ) which would need a very different engine build to work best...
the intake system is a very good idea, as recent flow tests showed up just how bad the standard item is..
as for the running in, you would not want to damage the new engine in anyway, and would need to be very careful on first start up, but best suggestion would be to have the fulling checked on start up as with the new set up i would expect it to run very lean...
