Hi peeps

Just to let you know i was out in the cossie tonight after a long time and the feeling is so sweet

The GT30 rocks man i am over the moon with it the boost comes in the same time as the T34 no differance in lag at all and when on boost the thing just pulls and pulls

Fair play to Martin Hadland for sorting out the turbo and new alloy boost hose the thing fits a treat and for doing the cam timming that was out by one tooth aswell

I did have a hunting problem on part trottle from 1700 rpm to 2200 rpm and thats was because of the cam timing was out it's sorted now back to normal


ok

the road condtions tonight wasn't great was a bit wet however i did boot it on the dual carriage way.... talk about wheels spin city

i was pottering along in 5th gear for a while the road was pretty clear so i selected 3rd gear put the footdown and the back end allover the shop same in 4th and then into 5th but backed off tho i was scared I then slowed down and checked the boost gauge to see the peak recall it showed a spike of 35.4 psi

The car has to be re-maped because it's still on the old chip xo38 chip /t34

i know i shouldn't be driving it on this boost and i will lower it down to about 10psi untill it's live mapped

i only gave it the one blast tho and i am well happy (i know i shouldn't but i couldn't help myself )

I went to the SS's in Birmingham tonight for the first time in yrs all i can say that place is unbeliveable for cars you just cant move loads of chav's

I saw Gav Diamond who is off this board he was there i was talking to him for a while and went home

Ill be very happy when the 3dr is finally re-mapped so i can get it out on track and give it the full hammer

so far so good im happy with it

cossie's are still ace tho it's hard to get away from them and stay away from them just awesome when they are right brings a big smile to my face

cheers marco

 

 

nice one m8 sounds like gona be fun when mapped

Hi Greg

hi marco is it external or internal the wastegate on the gt30 mate

 

nice when they work well arnt they

 

glancy2081


internal mate i couldn't be botherd about all the agro/ messing about that goes with the external GT30

it might be better to go external but when i thought about going on track with the noise of the screamer pipe and the modding that went with it soon put me off and i would have to have the mainfold modded to take the external waste gate and for the sake of an extra 50bhp wasn't worth it for me i'm not one bit botherd about bhp i'm more intrested in when the turbo comes in

this internal is more or less striaght bolt on and to the exhaust side aswell but it is better suited a 4wd head tho , Martin had to remove the one of the lugs that is on the side of the head , so i have bolted it up with a normal spec r jobbie

i had a choice of the external gt30 but for me i'm not to botherd about that they can make more bhp than the internal.. all i wanted was a bit more grunt up the top end after 6500 rpm but still have the same low down boost like the t34 has with the .63 housing which it has so it's ideal for me

i went the cheapest way to gain a bit of power without the sacrifice of lag

i have 1000cc injectors to also with the air to air and controller

i still thinking of useing a a biltz dual seliniod controller as they read of the sensors to controll the boost

where the air to air are mechinical and these still will put the same boost in even if somethings wrong with the engine

atlease with the biltz one they if anything goes wrong with the fueling they will automatically drop the boost to nothing if they have too to protect the engine

marco

 

i forget whats it was like

 

cheers marco what sise housing do u have and did martin supply the turbo

 

Hi Mate

you would better off in speaking to Martin himself

he has done a good job on it and i am happy with it

to be honest he would have soretd me out to go the external ..i wasn't intrested

marco

 

Hi Marco


Being slightly thick but can you tell me about these Air Injectors and to what purpose they serve? Are they really needed for these bigger turbo's? Or are they needed for smaller applications?

Thanks


Tom

 

hi mate

it is motorsport boost controller thats used on the rally cars/race cars

they are able to controll the boost when using a bigger turbo like t04 and above some peeps swear by them and some dont as they are old hat now

but in the day the i suppose they were the bollox

some peeps just use the air to air with no controller some use them with the 15 postion controller each setting is controlled by the ecu when its programmed you can have them set at what ever you like say 15 full boost , 1 at hardly anything if you wish all depending on what boost you want them set

they are very good but like i said the dont work off any sensors they are just mechanical

they just send air through them to controll the boost and you dont have the amal valve anymore

thats all i know about them


im sure theres alot more peeps on here that know more the me about them

marco

 

nice one marco yaar!

what changes you done to the engine or was it just a turbo change!?

 

how testing on gearbox marco is that the one martin is selling now

 

Your car make me wet marco































dripping wet

 

hi hardeep


well as far as i am awear the engine was built to good spec 7:4:1 /ported head/ (400 bhp)/double valve springs/ pistons/hi pressure oil pump/cams ect

all i had changed was the exhaust cam....it had a good inlet cam in before there was no need to change that one

i have a set of defi 1000cc injectors just incase i decide to upgrade again which i probally wont

when the t34 died i wasn't going to pay 500+ quid to have it rebuilt the housing was cracked / needed seals / i thought fook that ill would rather pay for a new turbo i still have the t34.63 in bits

so yes you could say turbo on with an exhaust cam

the head might cause a bit of restiction but who cares i'm not chasing every little bhp and if it makes a gen 420/440 it will be enough for track use may too much for me you know what rwd are like

marco

 

Many thanks Marco! I am a little more in the know now due to your explanation!

 

gt's are ace b'ham SS's whats that ?

 

Hi glancy

yes mate
everything is going well they have survived the treatment Porkie has had no issues and he is running 500 anyway althou his car is 600bhp when on full boost

Sib's is one was still going strong untill he blew the engine

one has gearbox has gone to germany another has gone to sweden

one is going to bulgaria just the kit

theres one in a clubmans grp a escort rally car still going strong with over 440ftlbs of torque

yes i am well happy that they are not blowing up thats the mainthing i dont expect them to last for ever but i do expect them to last a while

the gears are well strong and i dont think the big tooth gears will break for a long time as they are brand new metal

I can get them done for a 2wd but not for the T5 tho peeps can use the 2wd mt75 they will fit striaght inthere no probs

marco

 

glad to hear they are holding out,when a get ma escort back on road and a little more power if all is still going well and no problems a may treat the car to one

 

the gt's are fooking ace i dont thingk they are as strong as the older turbos like the to4






the ss's are where all the car peeps meet up it's sort of like a cruise but it's not

the SS = esses this was the original name for it yrs ago


loads of steert racing this like that ...i only got to watch and let all them perform

marco

 

location ? i've seen gav out at gatherings too he must be mad for it lol

 

gav loves it he is a boy racer it's just something to do and get out the house thats all really

marco

 

glancy

you wont be dissapointed they are a little noise as they are striaght cut but they are not as noisy as some striaght cut boxes

when the time is near i for you i'll give you all the options whats avaible for them

marco

 

noise adds to the experience marco like the gt30 under the bonnet sucking away,box seems to be a reasonably priced piece of kit

 

glancy2081

I tried to get them as cheap as i possibley could that price is for the kit it's extra to have it built up in a box


the only thing that anoys me with this gt turbo is i have to use a chav dump valve

i preferd the old chatter

marco

 

a have a gt30 a got from america with a internal wastegat but come with a fitting for a silvia or something was going to try a .63 housing on it or sell it on ebay,dump valve make turbo last longer and a cant afford to replace them all the time

 

get a silent dump valve got one on mine...

still chatters like fook though ..

stu@msds old saph

 

I would say you could swap the exhaust housing for a .63 easy it all depends on the core inside the rear exhaust wheel but then again if the exhaust wheel is too big you could have it machined down



give martin a call on monday and see what he recons i dont think you will have a problem

there is one thing you have to do tho , where your oil return from the turbo thats goes back to the sump that will have to be lenthend in some way by about 10mm and it needs to be modded from the turbo end

something like a spacer that has to be welded


marco

 

hi mate

where from ..........i just have a grp a one piston type

marco

 

you have pm

 

marco - good to hear the beast is still going
