All work done by myself and a good friend, all home grown.........

Started with a BOB 24v, and run on a KKK27 Turbo from a commercial lorry application. Custom made manifold from gas pipe fittings, all tig welded. External 50mm wastegate and screamer pipe, scooby 440cc side feed injectors, and lots more. Running on Emerald management and other uprated goodies.

 

See anything wrong with this pic............

Major schoolboy error.....!!!!!!



Did change it slightly......


Remade the plastic inlet out of steel....



Universal 3" intercooler......





2.5" boost pipes.....

 

Nice work mate look forward to seeing more pics!

 

interesting

 

fucking awesome ,

i love these home brewed lowbudget builds where trial n error are all part of the mix


the motor just stock ? expected power ??


beef

 

when saying gas fittings for the manifold what size?

 

Wiring loom went on a hefty diet, also found some dodgy 20 year old wiring issues....... probably explain my erratic fueling for the last 3 years......









New injector loom wires, along with new Scoob plugs.....




The original ford injectors, only flow 191cc per min.....


Scooby STI 440cc replacements, all cleaned and tested....



Time to pull the lump out to mod the sump and change clutch for an AP 4 paddle....









Sump drilled and modded for oil return....

 

Yep, stock motor...... Sticking to low boost, 10psi max i think Should stay together but time will tell.......lol

Got no idea on power output as it needs to be mapped and i need some dollars and a day to trailer it upto Emerald's to sort. Hopefully wont be too long till that day comes as its ready to go.

 

damo , how you feeding from the other bank ?

round the back of the engine or under the sump fella ?


beef

 

Do you know what...... i cant remember atm, im sure they are 1" 3/4 but will have a look at the spare fittings i have left. Used these as they are thicker and more able to withstand extreme heat compared to thin tubular pipes.

 

Using a link pipe from the R/H bank under the gearbox and then very tightly up to meet the manifold along side the 3" downpipe........... pics will follow.

 

Good stuff! like the use of the subaru injectors, did you need to modify the rail deeper or are they a straight swap? i ran those on a zetec turbo once. Im sure it will make over 300 bhp and 300+ ftlb of torque at 10 psi, will be good to see some dyno graphs. keep up the good work.

 

awesome project!! i will keep an eye on this!

 

Awesome Work m8, look forward to seeing this in the flesh!

 

Engine nearly ready to go back in, modded one of the oil returns from the head to take oil breather.....



Good old copper pipe fittings.....lol


Engine cleaned ready to go in......









Cosworth oil breather....



Adjustable fuel pressure regulator....





The remade inlet pipe, original was plastic



And this was the original vis unit that i took the gubbings out and blocked the holes as not needed with forced induction.



Manifold all wrapped.....






Wastegate and screamer pipe on......

 

looking good mate i will be running befor the week is out at this rate

 

great to see this car is still being developed, remeber reading the original build with the boa engine and it was and still is the tidyiest 24v conversion going

 

like this alot mate

 

awsome conversion!!

 

You using a jap syle mushroom air filter? liking the screamer pipe lol

 

Duuno yet, may do but other option is to run a filter behind the bumper and duct it up to the turbo. We will see.....

 

Looking good! any pics of the link pipe mate? would like to see someone elses take on things

 

Yeah, will post some more tonight

 

Cool, look forward to it! Does it run yet?

 

Oh yeah she runs, not well as its not had the basics done but we are playing with the laptop atm.......

 

Cool, keep the updates coming!

 

Love this type of thread,wish I had the skills and time to attempt something like this

 

 

Cool as fuck mate.

The turbine housing looks like twice the size of the compressor housing.

 

lol, big turbos are ace, exhaust housing is soo wide cos its twinscroll

 

I just love this i enjoy reading about these home built motors.Keep the pics comming..

 

Hi new guy here love what you'be done full marks got me over a problem with injectors if all is well can't wait to see what power she makes mine ls still in Scorpio all the best mate

 

Cool project, nice to see you haven't just shoved a YB in it.

 

Nice one Damo. I was in another Sierra following this through Holland the other year, it went like the clappers before the turbo was fitted. Sounds lovely too. Can't wait to see it again

 

These go like fuck, 300bhp easy.

 

 

old thread this! is it finished yet? ive sold my turbo v6 now

 

This has been mapped now, made around 330bhp iirc.

 

Any more info on this?

 

Very cool project, does a twin scroll turbo actually effect performance? Ive heard about the benefits (quicker spolling etc), im surprised they aren't used more
