rpslaughter1982 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Another single build thread I know but I won't be going into too much detail as I'm basically following Homer's build thread. I thought it would be good to post up stuff that is different that may help others and also ask a few quesions to help me. Parts purchased so far: PHR street turbo kit Sard 650cc injectors Wabro fuel pump Aeromtive FPR AEM ecu fuel pulsation removal kit double decat Taking off the twins was a right PITA as everyone has eluded to but its done now thank god. I followed the Interwork website (sorry can't remember whos site that is) to fit the SARD injectors. They fitted in perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Nice one that, I am looking to do the same in the future too. Can I ask you how much you paid for the items so that I can get an idea of the costs involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpslaughter1982 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I hoping for around 500 ish hp at the end. I got the kit as its meant to be one of the fastest spooling ones, i dont want it too laggy. according to the phr site its good for 550hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpslaughter1982 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 the first problem i have run into is the oil return for the turbo. the kits made for lhd supes so the steering mechinisms are in the way for my rhd. I need a 45 degree fitting like the BL one on Homers thread, does anyone know where I can get something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Think Automotive will help with the oil part you need. Just make sure the drain is pointing straight down out of the turbo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpslaughter1982 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 What are you doing for a downpipe? I had real problems with mine due to the straight position of the turbo... I haven't tried lining it all up yet as I had some weird 2inch decat pipe that was nowhere near fitting the supplied downpipe. The kit comes with the one in the pic and its meant to be able to bolt straight on. I've ordered 3inch decat pipes so when they arrive I'll try to line it all up, fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpslaughter1982 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I thought I'd attach my dyno plots when the car was a twn turb for comparison afterwards. Before it just had boost controller, first decat, Nur spec exhaust, induction kit and fmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
