grahamc Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Good day all, I have just received a pretty decent quote from Sam at TurboFit to have this done while I have my engine build done. I would like to know more info about the turbo that is used. What sort of power figures can be reached, using a good fuel system, AEM ECU, etc. Who has had this done?? Whats the general experience with the conversion? thanks, G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 What info was received from turbofit about the parts being used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Enquiring now... but generally as the kit goes... probably. Includes install, turbo, fmic, hardpipes and dump valve. dump valve and bov are the same thing right?? if so what have I got to do, to remove the bov... Dont like the sound...

Bob Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 You don't want to remove the DV as you'll get turbo stall - instead you want to make it into a recirculating dump valve, i.e. dumping the air back into the intake. I'm sure Greg could rig something up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 forgot about that option... as some bov are adjustable as well. T60 or T70 turbo are the ones that I am looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Graham Find out if its the Super t70 they fit. which is actually a hybrid with a 70mm Cold side and 69 hotside, but its a Twin scroll T3 flanged hotside which does aid spool making it less laggy than a full t4 version. I think the compressor map is nearly identical to the t4 based t61 which quite a few people run on here. The T70 will push that little more at the top end though.

Marty Is that for the XS Power turbo Marty (Which I'm sure is what Turbofit have quoted for Graham)? I've been trying to find out more info about them but there seems to be very little around.

Class One Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'm watching this one. If it turns into a bitching bun fight as things have done of late, the plug will be pulled. Keep it on topic guys please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it on topic guys please. Pull it now Doug cos i for one am gonna flip in a minute! I know what its like establishing a succesfull business. What chance have Sam and Greg got if these 'Toyotatom/Burt' comments keep coming out. That comment was aimed purely at putting a potential new turbofit customer off their services. It wasnt fair. For the 2 dissatisfied customers mentioned, there is also 50 or more satisfied customers. Rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Moved this to Supra chat from mods section - we've had a chat about it and feel it's only fair this thread keeps going as it may provide useful info. RE: the pro / anti Turbofit sentiments, please keep those kinda discussions to PM guys. Cheers, Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_controller Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 constructive critisisum. thats all i have to say on the matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks for the info... Please keep this info on topic... I am not interested in reading threads about turbofit this and turbofit that. If you have something to say, please by all means, PM me, I have lots of space in my mailbox!! What I am interested in, is people that know of this conversion and people that have had this conversion done to their cars. I have had some good advise about the turbo (via PM) that has made think a bit about it, and so forth. So please keep that aspect of the discussion coming. Mods - thank you for bringing the thread back to life!! Back on topic... The idea is that I will get a fueling system and AEM at the same time, as well as cams, clutch, flywheel, brakes, with what is already on the car.

Bob Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Unless I'm mistaken, Sam runs the T70 on her car at anything up to 750bhp on race fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 wicked! not sure how long standard internals would last running like that. But that is one of the joys of the AEM, addition buttons and switches can be programmed to tell it to do any number of things IE. fuel maps, boost maps, traction control, launch control, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 From what she was telling me, the T70 is happy running 400bhp on a fairly standard set-up too, and is suited for autos looking for a small single due to less lag than the T61 they supply (or something like that!). Have you asked Sam or Greg for any turbo details? If anyone can supply them it will be those guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
