Tsia Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi guys, Car is now in the hands of MK Autos to sort out the single build, so I'll start out with the spec: Rebuilt engine with 86.5mm pistons BW S362 turbo Whifbitz twin wastegate manifold Turbosmart twin 40mm wastegates ( & screamers ) Turbosmart supersonic BOV Custom fabricated pipework (FMIC, exhaust, screamer pipes, downpipe etc) Link G4 ECU Mishimoto IC & rad So without further ado, here are a few pics. Plenty more to come after these! The new IC The freshly made screamer pipes connected to twin 40mm turbosmart wastegates Turbo mocked up with custom IC pipework And the freshly made downpipe Anyway, lots more to come!

j_jza80 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Nice But why not rotate the compressor housing to route the intercooler pipe out of sight? That's what most do and it llooks neater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 No idea, after seeing a few other pictures of the fabrication work I'm pretty confident it's going to look ace when it's all done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Nice! Needs an update. Can someone explain why people run both 1 and 2 wastegates? Surely 1 is just easier and cheaper? Or is two more beneficial despite cost etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Nice! Needs an update. Can someone explain why people run both 1 and 2 wastegates? Surely 1 is just easier and cheaper? Or is two more beneficial despite cost etc? Better response combined with higher flow. Twin wastegate setups are supposed the spool up a bit quicker, the downside being added cost, weight and complication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Better response combined with higher flow.

I look forward to the videos when you get your car back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Just one Even if I hadn't chanced across a well priced HKS turbo kit, I was always looking for a divided manifold with a single wastegate flange. I'm willing go sacrifice a little performance for a bit of cost saving and a simpler system with fewer components to go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Was going to wait until it was all done before updating again! It's being mapped on the 30th for me to collect on the first weekend of Feb (assuming everything's okay!) - can't wait. That, and I haven't got any more pictures yet and build threads are worthless without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Few more pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Got a video of first startup, however... Bloody weather has meant postponing the road mapping though, by a few weeks She sounds lovely in the first video though, can't wait to hear it in the flesh!

Ric Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 thought you'd crashed this? is it still around then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C12MMO Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I thought the same Ric but was wrong, it's T14PPA who unfortunately crashed his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsia Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Car has now been mapped with some boost, sounds like we're getting a really good spool - exactly what I was aiming for! Few more pictures, although these are about a week or two old now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Car is back home for some bedding in miles now We're getting on boost at 2800RPM - an absolutely fantastic result as far as I'm concerned. Plenty of pictures to come after I've given the car a wash, had some fantastic workmanship with all of the pipework (and now want to show it off ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Random car park picture. Still doing my running in miles, ready for a proper map on the 12th/13th to see what she can really do. Can't wait Currently limited to .6 bar boost and 4,500 RPM, boost comes on very early and feels great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Why is the side repeater just hanging off the side? Car is looking good though Still remember when Ben had this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Why is the side repeater just hanging off the side? Car is looking good though Still remember when Ben had this car. I only realised this once I was home! The clip holds, but barely. It's on the list of 'bits that need replacing' And yeah, I was reading up through his posts for a bit more history on the car a while ago. Always good to know that its been well cared for.

Tsia Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Decided to give the spark cover a lick of paint and the dash panels a refresh with some rubberised black, going for the 'OEM+' look today, off for a proper map tomorrow now that the engine is worn in, then onwards to giving the engine bay a bit of bling, as well as starting the hunt for a new steering wheel. Oh and that indicator has been fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Few things that we needed to sort out before it could get a proper boost map - all done and back home on the drive again. An absolute pleasure to drive, feels like a bloody rocket - and sounds like one too on full chat. Really, really happy with the result Next up is getting that autobox to hold a bit more torque...
