Awesome result mate, you must be well chuffed what with it being all your own handywork

T28 RST

Here are 2 AVA cars from a few years ago (both at the wheels)



Peaking 24 and holding 21

The 2 cars above were still MFi

Yeah it made me laugh too!
I dont have the money for a new turbo..... yet!
Yes mate by all means if you want to come my way when running in drop me a PM!
Wasnt it!
The pull in 5th is crazy at like 80mph, might as well be in 3rd!!
I didnt make a note of it, but if you search for "Stage 2 T3" you should find it!

I am Dave yes, cheers!

It isnt a lot of boost for the power, it's exactly as expected and how I spec'd the build mate!

Those tables dont make any sense, there is your car (i'm guessing as it says T28) making 15psi at 4000prm so that obviously isnt a Stage 2 T3 and then another car (Jamie) making 0.5 psi at idle which is impossible??! lol
In any case if they are not running Stage 2 T3's (.36/55), Newmans cams, with NMS heads, then they cannot be compared to my car as the volume of air they flow at any given boost pressure will be totally different (VE).

It does mate! lol
I'm sure him and Gary were trying to break it, they had it on the rollers for ages revving the life out of the poor little thing!
Cheers Rick!
You having fun over there?? lol

hehehe excellent!

JamboRS

fuck knows how i managed to get brought into this
anyway im involved now
its not idle mate,its 1krpm,mine idled around 900rpm and accordding to the graph of mine 1krpm its making exactly what davie says.as ive said many a time,my car was very lively from low down the revs so its not impossible as the cars pullin at 1krpm in 3rd gear.

also i may add that your graph and boost is exactly what id expect from a stg 2 t3,so cant see the argument here at all,and id expect a stg 3 t3 to make the power with less boost,thing is if i went efi then i could have prob held more boost at higher rpm but as usual mfi big spike then tail off

my view is youve done very well with the car,it makes great power and must be a hoot to drive on the road.even more so with the 3i box

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

lol
Yeah it's what I expected, i'm not sure why T28 was expecting more power? The Stage 2 T3 is absolutely at it's max!

Thanks! It is a hoot and the 3i final drive and no LSD does make it quite lairy!

Great result Karlos!

Your result is very much what I would expect with a .36/55 T3.
You have reached the limit with the stage 2. The T3 series above 19 psi
boost starts generating alot of heat. (I am sure you already know this )

It would certainly be great to see what difference a .48/60 T3 would bring.
Much lower exhaust back pressure, possibly lower boost level to make 230 HP.
I don't think you would lose too much low rpm power - a definitive back to back test would be great information.

I will be finally assembling my 1.9 soon - using a CR turbos .48/60 T3 and Haltech E6X
engine management. I will certrainly want to pick your brain when it comes time for mapping. I have an Innovate Motorsports wideband O2 sensor to help mapping.
Spark timing table will probably be most difficult to get right.

Keep up the great work - and many thanks for sharing the build details!
Some keep so many secrets to themselves.

Cheers

little bram

well done mate looks like you have done a good job. boost looks ok to me for the turbo you have on

project rs

is your turbo not a turbotechnics one karlos as on there website it has your turbo down as a .36/50

Canada1 I will be trying a .48 soon if 12 Second rst responds to my PM! lol
project rs it is a TT one I believe, bought it from Guzzler on here brand new still sealed in it´s packaging, so maybe it is .36/50??

project rs

my name is richie save you using my user name all the time and i measured my t34 for you while i had it of earlier and it's a .48/68 and i've got a 2wd t3 to try so thats a .48/60 so see what that does and i've got the .55 housing too to try at some point to with the bottle of gas

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Cheers Richie!
I guess that both the .48´s will spool at the same rate'ish but the 68 will flow more than the 60, the .55 will be lag central on a 1600cc engine wont it??
Look forward to hearing the results mate!
