Phil Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) It's taken me a while but it's pretty much there now - though I've a hankering for a different manifold.Hopefully get it on and valve stem oil seals changed and brakes replaced and get her out abit after some mappingPhil Edited August 19, 2015 by Phil Quote
Phil Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Looks good mate, is it a 2860RS?Yes sir. Not massive but should be good on a 4ePhil Quote

AdamB Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 phil what .ar are you using bro? i thought the gt2860rs was laggy? Will be a .63 / .64 Quote
RobSR Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Looks good Like mentioned get one of sacha's manifolds on there. Quote
Phil Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 phil what .ar are you using bro? i thought the gt2860rs was laggy? ar .63 Tial indeed id love a fancy pants manifold. price may be prohibitive Phil Quote
Bussey Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Same as me near on Phil, I get 1 bar at 4600rpm. After that it's all a bit of a blur You'll love it Quote
Phil Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 Same as me near on Phil, I get 1 bar at 4600rpm. After that it's all a bit of a blur You'll love it yours slightly bigger? gt2867r? Phil Quote
AdamB Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 yours slightly bigger? gt2867r? Phil Jame's has my old turbo Phil, 2868 billet Quote
Bussey Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Yeah what Adam said Still, not as laggy as I thought,either that or my td04 was set up really really badly Quote
RobSR Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Same as me near on Phil, I get 1 bar at 4600rpm. After that it's all a bit of a blur You'll love it Thats interesting,,,thought it would be coming on song a lot sooner than that. May have to rethink my options for later. Whats your rev limit? Gussing over the stock 7200 then? Quote

Gussing over the stock 7200 then? Remember the turbo can only be as good as the air pump before it Don't forget also this is on a .63 rear housing, unfortunately Tial don't do anything smaller and this size housing will flow enough for 550bhp ish. Some wise choice of parts, good ecu and good map will probably knock 200-300rpm off that I reckon. Quote
_shaun_ Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 id prob just run it with the kit as it is mate. that manifold will be a hard sell. get it up and running and make sure its the turbo for you before you spend any more cash on a manifold! Quote
J40k-mo Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I get full boost of 1.4 bar at 4700, and it's the 2860rs it is laggy, you just need to know how to use ya gears! Haha, but pulls very well and hard right round to 7800, love it atm Quote
J40k-mo Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 It actually works to your advantage the lag! Because if u want good fuel economy you can drive steady with hardly any boost and still drive normal speeds Quote
Bussey Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Thats interesting,,,thought it would be coming on song a lot sooner than that. May have to rethink my options for later. Whats your rev limit? Gussing over the stock 7200 then?Full boost is still below 5000 just have to get used to driving it, no big deal And yeah just a bit over that Edited August 22, 2015 by Bussey Quote
Calum122 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Absolutely lovely sir!​​ It just means you can poot around off boost. Quote
goldy_gt Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 How much for a kit like this? Am guessing its the same as godzilla kit from wepr? Quote
Phil Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 now considering going for a smaller exhaust housing for sprint hillclimb work if anyone wants to buy let me know. Phil Quote
freak Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 what is the smallest exhaust housing you can get for this turbo? Quote
