That must be the compressor housing they are talking about, the exhaust housing looks smaller than mine which is .82 so i'm guessing it's a .63

Interested to see what this is like on yours

 

I will check for markings tomorrow when i get home , i havent actualy seen the turbo yet bar the pics i have posted.
Im sure it was the ex housing they were talking about as we had a bit off messing around as it was originally a 3 bolt style , then they called to say they couldnt get one so was going to be V band, luckily they managed to get a 3 bolt style and called before i had cut the downpipe.

 

Doesn't sound normal mate i thought the exhaust housings were available no problem at all

Mine is a .82 internal gate with a 3 bolt fitting from http://www.aet-turbos.co.uk/

 

Not sure mate just know that they origianly couldnt get a 3 bolt style and was going to be a 4 week wait so i had agreed on a v band, then CR managed to get a 3 bolt outlet housing
If Martoon see's this hey may know more as the turbo was at his place so he could make up the drain pipe for me .

 

Well after spending most of the mornig getting the GT30 to fit buy swinging the core and comp housing, i was ready to start it and NOTHING the car cranks over and has fuel to the rail but no pulse from the injectors. I have tried my old chip in and the car fires straight away so looks like a problem with the new msd chip. To make things worse when I removed the new chip one of the encription board legs snapped off

Anyway on the plus side it i have had it started long enough to bleed the coolant and test the new box through the gears in the air.





I also need to order an new turbo to cooler pipe from Roose as the outlet from the turbo is 2.5" rather than the 2" hose i have, I have made an adaptor out of a bit Porsche pipe i had but I dont fancy its chances of holding 2 bar

 

Dodgy with the chip aye, but progress so far

 

Yip im a bit gutted as i would of had it back on the deck and out of the garage tonight.
I actualy could do with moving it as just bought an new gokart and cant get it in the garage.

I only tried the old chip about an hour ago so too late to call MSD but will do it first thing in the mornig, hope I can get a new chip by Friday as the Ford day at Knockhill is on sunday.

 

I wouldn't be nailing it without getting it checked out anyway, don't care who's chip it is, too many people rely on off the shelf chips, fit them and think they can give the car death. Love your car and the progress, a couple more days won't make a difference, worth the wait

 

Yip I wont be opening it up untill it has been checked over will keep it under 4K, Im hoping Si from Sitech might manage to bring his wideband to Knockhill at the weekend to give it a quick check. It will be going into Sitech as soon as they have moved for a full set up and to get the new loom and inlet fitted

 

Wow stunning car, with all the right bits. Will be keeping my eye on this. I also cant believe the turbo heatshield still fits. Looks the nuts

 

looking good mate be good if you get it sorted for knockhill, me and my bro are going and wouldnt mind see your car. i would take my car up but it uses shit loads of fuel

 

Bet Stu gets you a new chip before Saturday Neil.

 

hope u get it sorted

 

Hey Neil, are you going to open up the breather port on the block under the turbo now with the power increase?

 

Lets just hope it works though

Looking good mate

 

It already does there is another fitting on the bottom of the breather tank that goes to under the turbo.

 

Im sure it will. Turns out he has a Pectel board but forgot to tell us.

 

Ooops I was asked on the phone to describe the board in the ecu when i ordered the chip guess i didnt do a very good job of it

 

Not a great one, especially when it says "Pectel" on it in the picture you just sent us.

 

FAIL

 

dowt

 

For Neil

 

When i ordered I just gave a description of the board and the numbers off of the 3 chips, but one of these for me

 

No harm done mate, I have packaged up a new one and sent it out to you for next day delivery. I will swallow the cost of the broken board your sending back since you such a good customer. Just fire it back when your ready mate.

 

*****Cue the praise towards Stu ****

Nice one Stu, great service there!

 

Top service stu as always

 

great customer service again from stu, this is what keeps return custom.

 

Yip top service from MSD and Matt Lewis getting parts out to me is super quick times.
Ihave had it around the block to test the box so, Just need to spanner and leak test it this afternoon then fit the front bumper, going to take it to my mates garage tomorrow to set the CO.
Will post a vid later.

 

DOH !!!!

 

Got the car back on the deck now and have done a few miles but keeping the revs under 4K untill I get the car checked over with wideband gear.
What I have noticed is the GT30 spools quicker than my old T34.
Im happy that the standard heatshield still fits and keeps the look under the bonnet how I wanted it , also got some heat proof material for the water hoses as they run close to the ex housing.

 

That boost hose is hilarious! It's huuuuuuge!

 

Changing your exhaust cam back to standard would of also helped.

Sounds like its working well

Steve

 

Yip I think the mix of standard exhaust cam and dialling in the BD14 inlet has made a big change. I had the car along at RJM today on the CO machine and on the way home saw over 1bar in 4th by 3K rpm, but im keeping the revs under 4K untill it has been checked over.

 

You ready for tomorrow neil

cheeRS stu

 

Yip stuck some fuel in and run a hose over it earlier, not going daft with the cleaning as think its going to piss down.
What about you, you sorted ? What time you heading to knockhill, dont think there is anyone else going from my way so will just get use up there.

 

Car still in bits neil lol,front bumper off just now,brakes needing bleed due to a leaking brake pipe,and under trays needing fitted,will be back out in garage after tee,gives a txt latter,hoping to be at kh about 8.30

cheeRS stu

 

Really Neil??

Amazed at that, is it a 3076 too??

 

Nope its a 3071 Keep in mind its not just the turbo i have change i have also refitted a standard exhaust cam and adjusted the BD14 inlet.
I have checked the log from when MSD mapped the car on the old spec and it was making .9 bar at 3150rpm today i would say it was doing around 16psi by 3000rpm.

 

Had a quick look around this car at KH today - very impressive under the engine bay

 

Thanks I didnt bother giving it too much of a clean as knew the weather would be crap.
