Supraguy Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 After some amazing work by Leon and James at JPS Motorsport I finally have my PHR Stage 1 Turbo kit finished!! Words really cannot put into perspective what an absolute monster its made the car. You have heard about external wastegates... all I can say is its f-cking loud!! The pull? I've currently kept it at 1.3bar and its pulled harder than anything I have ever felt before. I have had the same bar pulls on stockers and its nowhere near what this is like. Amazing power! Dyno'd nearly 600 crank HP at 1.3bar. A little more fuelling work and this is capable of nearly 2.0bar. I must apologise for my shite camera. Somewhat of a letdown to see a bunch of the pics came out with a slight blur to them. Guess I will start with the "before" pic: Onto stripping out the old stock Turbos. Looks amazingly clean for a 10 year old car! Cam work in progress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraguy Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 Suprisingly large Turbo for a Stage 1 kit! LOADS of bling applied now. Oh... my eyes! Final "aggressive" pic. I will follow up with better rez pics today / tomorrow after a trip to Halfords and some TLC to clean it all up. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude:flame Dev Gotta get in there and poke around today to see where its all going. Didnt have much daylight after I got home yesterday to get in there. I do know that one stock feed was capped off, just like yours. John, youre going to shit yourself when you hear your wastegate! Its insane.

LeeT Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 i will be very interested to hear how you get on with this set up as i was considering the PHR stage2 although im leaning towards BL67 p trim at mo. im also looking at running on stock fuelling(uk spec) temporarily, although the fuelling would be in by the summer, when i could really use it. how is the stock tranny holding up with the extra power? how much dyno time did it take to set up in the end? 600 brake at fly, 500ish at hubs must feel awesome. get the fuelling sorted and wind that boost up:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraguy Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Tranny seems fine, although I think my TC may be on its way out. I really wouldnt want to push the stock tranny at anything over 500 crank HP. That is still kinda pushing it! If you figure how cheap the BL one is and then think of the costs of repairing a broken stocker, it only makes sene. Plus they are good up to 800 or so HP, which is more than enough for most single applications. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. After tonight's London cruise I am thoroughly impressed. Its exceeded my expectations by a long shot and placed that silly "supra grin" on my face the entire day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 looks great mate can i ask you how much for the kit and fitting? keeeeeeef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraguy Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 You would probably want to call Leon about fitment pricing. Mine was done with loads of extra work on Cams, Cam Gears, Radiator + fabrication work, Oil Coolers, Guages, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
