Guest Budz86 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Nice one Jamie, was talking to Lee about this yesterday when I was there. It will be interesting to find out how these new tubbies hold up to the 'JamieP abuse test!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Would be interesting to see whether you can get it track friendly without re-routing the screamer. I have an open screamer on my track car and touch wood havent been booted off for noise yet, it is silenced though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 My powder coated intake runners with new injector collets welded in, this is the colour im going with on everything, the flash on the camera makes it look a bit glitzy but its just a normal gunmetal type colour:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Just had a call from Lee and the new turbo wont clear the manifold runners, The H cover is bigger, looks like he may have to space it up a bit. Can't be any bigger than a GT42-76RS can it? They clear the runners on a BL manifold fine, just about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Can't be any bigger than a GT42-76RS can it? They clear the runners on a BL manifold fine, just about. The center cartridge is bigger on them though so pushes the housing further out to miss the runners, i had the same problem when going from a T88 to a Gt4088, The H cover is a good 1/2 inch bigger than the regular T67 cover.

Miguel Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Of course it does, silly me. I take it Foodfreak went for the S cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Of course it does, silly me. I take it Foodfreak went for the S cover? Johns is a 6262 journal, i dont know what cover he went with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Johns is a 6262 journal, i dont know what cover he went with. I believe the same cartridge is used in both but I suspect the smaller compressor and exhaust housing meant it cleared. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the results of the latest round of mods.

dandan Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Looks very similar to my engine bay right now I am very interested to see how things go on the dyno with the exhaust comparison. I have a new stainless exhaust that looks identical to a Tanabe and I am a little concerned it may reel in the top end a bit so I too will be doing a back to back on the rollers Is this latest list of mods going to incluse the cam swap as well Jamie? Edit: What's the reason for the electric fans? Is it to make the engine bay look neater or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey dan, Yup, jun cams going in as well, i know viscous fans v electric fans has been argued to death for there pros and cons but i want to see for myself, if i dont get on with them i will change back, and yes it is partly due to how neat they make the engine bay look:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foodfreak Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I can Confirm mine is 2 1/2 inch outlet compressor, .68 3inch exhaust housing. was a bit closer to the manifold than the T61 but fits o.k be interesting to see how yours performs Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I hope the h-cover problem is easily sorted as that's what I have gone for. Is the ABS delete an easy job Jamie, any idea on how much it weighs? I was so tempted by that titanium exhuast dude had for sale, but decided against due to any possible restriction top end, are you going back to a full 4" system?

Hey mate, spoke to Lee this morning and the turbo would just fit if we was to weld a elbow on it and keep the ic pipe though the wing, im not going that way so it needs spacing up a bit, no biggie. ABS is easy to remove, Lee had it out in about 5 min, just need to order up the NA brake lines, Lee is on it, its a heavy unit, ill weigh it for you. Im putting my HKS ti back on if the whifbitz exhaust resticts it to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im putting my HKS ti back on if the whifbitz exhaust resticts it to much. Cant you run the IC pipe downwards rather than through the inner wing? Be interested to see how my exhaust fairs against the HKS 4", not a fair comparison though really. See how you go though. I can get a 4" quiet exhaust made like mine if needed of course.
