Ryan.G Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Well my single fitting has started here is a quick list of the engines spec minus some small bits and bobs. Gt4088 precision turbo Xspower manifold and downpipe plus raise plate Tial 46mm Wastegate Custom dump pipe 4” K&N air filter 4” 45 degree Samco plus 4” alu pipe Custom Atec oil feed line and return pipe CW 2nd decat pipe HKS Superdrager 2 exhaust w/removable baffle Hybrid intercooler - tube and fin 3 row Apexi PowerFC Vems Wideband and EGT Sard 650cc injectors cleaned and flowed Walbro Fuel Pump RLTC w/launch controller Bailey dump valve with Samco t piece Apexi AVCR Now the car is running a fairly new standard clutch so only gunna run around 1.1 – 1.2bar and see how she holds up but a new one will be in order soon with more grunt. Also hopefully the 650cc injectors will have enough in them for fuelling at 1.2 bar as long as it don’t go past 80 – 85 injector duty im happy. Right so here is the engine bay when first got the car tidy and fairly stock. http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/4625/baynz6.jpg Dont worry will be nice and clean again after finished fitting single I firstly fitted the Sard 650cc injectors and setup on powerfc, took for a day to test everything was cool and brought the car back in the workshop. Sprayed all the bolts around turbo with some wd40 and left over night to soak in. The next day I spent a good 6-7 hours removing the turbo’s and I finally got the stock twins out of the car and then spent a good hour tidying up the work shop as had nearly all the tools over the floor lol. Here are some pic of the turbo’s and all the bits with them. Ok the hard bit done I next test fitted my xspower manifold and found it fouled on the bottom 3 studs so out came the stud extractor and measured and cut the studs down so the manifold fitted. To my surprise the manifold then slid straight on thought it was gunna need a fair bit more modding but went on well. Ok I then fitted the 46mm Tial wastegate which cleared the block nicely and began to make up the dump pipe. I got a 45 degree turn and some straight pipe from allstainless.com and welded it up to fit nicely. The next job I did was then take the standard oil drain flange and water elbow off for some custom work. I firstly pulled the pipes out of the water elbow on a vice and then tapped the hole. Fitted 2 bolts in there which I cut down and then put some slots in the top off to make flush. I then gave the standard oil drain flange to a friend of mine to get one of the ends alu welded up as I am going to use the flange plus a custom drain flange on the turbo to allow me to fit some 19mm braided hose straight in and save on cost as no need for Aeroquip fittings as no pressure in the drain pipe. Just so people know the pipe size on the standard flange pipe is 26mm so a adaptor is needed to change for the different pipe size but a good friend of mine had these already made and ready to go. Ok so today (30/05/07) I am going to pickup the turbo from parcel force as they are awaiting my import money and go pickup my part from Steve Manley down the road for the gaskets etc. I will get some pics tonight of fitment of turbo and I expect the adjustment needed on the downpipe. Ryan p.s sorry about crap quality pics and crap grammar and spelling was in rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ok well the turbo arrived woohoo, along with my beefy v band clamp that I ordered. I always find it hard to get a decent 3” v band clamp in uk so got the guys at atp turbo in usa to send me one. Needless to say No chance of this bugger breaking lol So got the turbo out and straight away test fitted with the spacer plate I had made. Woohoo it fitted. Now needed to clock the turbo to allow the intercooler pipe I made to fit. Getting there Ok now onto the downpipe. Well needless to say it didn’t even come close to fitting, so out came the welder and angle grinder and got it to fit nicely. But then realised that there was no flexi in the whole system and didn’t want to put any stress on that cheap manifold so decided to get on the web and buy a 3” piece of flexi to weld in. Finding this was a bugger but good old eBay came through again. Just in case anyone else wants a 3” flexi go here came in at £40 in end which I thought was fair. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ASHLEY-COMPETITION-EXHAUSTS So now just awaiting this to arrive and trying to figure out how im going to route my oil drain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Ok well last night I spent the evening bolting everything together and fitting the oil feed lines. I have used atec autotechink for my oil bits and there quality is 2nd to none. What I am doing is fitting the oil feed line for the turbo on the right oil feed on the block and then using the spare 2nd feed for my oil pressure sensor. The block thread sizes are m12x1.25 so I used a m12x1.25 to -4an adaptor for the feed which then went to -4 line to turbo and then I used a m12x1.25 to -3an adaptor for the oil pressure line which goes to my sensor. Here is a pic of one of the adaptors fitted Ok so today my 3” flexi and oil drain piping should arrive so can fit all that and maybe get the turbo primed and the car started to check for any leaks before plumbing in all pipework. Hopefully if all goes to plan should have car running by tomorrow but wont be able to map as awaiting a 4” induction filter unless anyone has one for sale or spare I can use Here is a pic test fitting all custom piping and seeing how I am going to route breather pipes with braided line Thanks again to homer for sorting out some spare braided line for the install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Getting closer mate BUT.... you may have a slight problem with the return on the block. With the straight fit there may be a problem of blocking. Hope not, but just to prep you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Nice one Ryan, that has to be one of the fastest single conversions ever! Just goes to show that good planning and having a local fabricator available go a heck of a long way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
