Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 andys car is coming along nicely now.. had to make a lot of custom stuff to get this HUGE turbo in and accomadate his QSV and and the new DP,MP. new clutch is fitted also.. we just need some more stuff fabricated and also a bit tidy up here and there.. this car is going to be a BEAST..

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 That turbo makes me smile everytime i see it. great work jurgen and the team, must have gave you all some nice headaches.was a nightmare as manifold had to be repositioned cut and welded again and the addition of the QSV adding 1 inch higher for the turbo to sit mate all areas mm away from touching engine or suspension turret and the bonnet lol. (it was tight then there was the down pipe to clear QSV and wastegate) thanks to whiftbiz for the pipes too made the job a little easier.

Ricky49 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 When the thing comes on boost want everything move and hit each other, like if there is only a hair width gap wont the turbo hit the suspension turret. That's one reason why in my build I had to change to a smaller turbo because the one I had picked hit the suspension turret and Lee advised that even getting it to fit when it would of come on boost the turbo would still of clashed with the turret.

Interesting point, I wonder if theres anyway to secure the turbo more so it dosen't do this, Im sure theres a solution somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder or solid engine mounts preventing/restricting engine movement, only problem then is all the vibration and movement is transferred into the chassis.

PHR do some solid engine mounts that I looked at but like you say Wez I didn't fancy driving like I was sat on a washing machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafan72 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Think its going to be a wait and see.... I know Jamies was pretty tight as well... and I dont think he's had any issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 What's a QSV? I think I would rather section the suspension turret slightly rather than run solid mounts. If you solid mount the engine you will need to solid mount the gearbox tailshaft housing, too, it'll be hellish noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a Quick Spool Valve Chris to help the Turbo Spool Quicker and give better mid range torque, Seem to work well in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 What's a QSV? I think I would rather section the suspension turret slightly rather than run solid mounts. If you solid mount the engine you will need to solid mount the gearbox tailshaft housing, too, it'll be hellish noisy. QSV = Quick Spool Valve. Basically it's a plate that sits between the turbo and the manifold. It's divided with one side being open and the other side being a butterfly valve. When the engine load is lower, the valve is closed forcing all the gas through the one divide thus increasing the velocity. This spools the turbo quicker at low RPMs/loads. When the load increases the valve is actuated (boost pressure activated) and this opens the valve allowing gas to pass through both divides.

Chris Wilson Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hmmm, hope it's made out of decent material, Toyota use ceramic for the flap of the exhaust diverter valve in the stock sequential set up, and the thing is mega expensive. I wouldn't want some piece of recycled bicycle sat in sheet form just in front of my turbine section Thanks for the explanation, where could I see a photo of one of these?

Westy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 That must be insanely tight on the bonnet! Looks amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 0.96 trying to get a reasonable spool Might surge with the qsv and small .ar, .96 is very small for a divided housing, easy fix if it does though, the hotsides are pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
