Sounds like he has someone sensible on the mapping

You mean with the 2.6 BAR spike? I dont know LOL......will do another Interpro dyno run to get a figure eventually......
Whas this on dynorun on pump gas??
Yes, on Shell Optimax..........as Karl live mapped it on Optimax I wont use anything else

Rod, mark is mapping my engine on autronic anyway mate, its that one that ive bought your ECU for, so im already in the right hands.
Hopefully i wont get the same issues anyway though as its on a vauxhall engine not a YB, so fingers crossed it doesnt do it as badly.
Im sure Mark will help me select a position on the cam verniers that helps avoid surge when he is mapping it mike if it does prove to be a problem
If all else fails, i can always swap to a larger housing, but i hope i dont have to as it will get laggier then of course!

I guess that your cosssie wil be in the high 600 hp range maby near 700 hp or higher on race fuel and high boost.
Very good figures for a pump gas engine.

Karl recommended that the gt30 was the best conversion....but at my compression i deceided to go T4 as it hopefully will do around 520bhp...and to be fair the T4 is much stronger and far less aggro to fit.....plus the old turbo dont spin up much further up the revs on my engine than yours Doug.

Dougs is a road car only, he has no interest in race fuel.

The T4 rocks.....The GT30 would still make a nicer conversion to drive, as it would spool up quicker.
Dougs does, he had a T4 before.
The GT30 is better at both ends of the scale, not just the top end.
Also at higher RPM, you dont need such low compression anyway.

Mine spins up around 300rpm more by the looks than dougs...plus the std comp is loverly to drive off boost...he needs to drive mine ona T4 i am well impressed and i have had lo comp too a couple of times...horrible.
As i said the T4 is more suitable for my application imo...plus is far stronger and easier to fit.
Thats all i need to say.
Thanks.

Schould be a very good car for motorway driving.
She schould pull like a beast in any gear.
If you say to say to supra owner that your turbo hits 2,2 bar @3700 rpm or 3800 rpm he will be green whit envy.
