S-Spec Turbo Install
Discussion
Hi,
Was speaking to a Chap (never got his name) at a Knockhill tracknight last night & we were talking about a Turbo install, here are some pics to wet his appetite to get his done :-)
Pre-Install
Manifolds
The black one came with the kit, the silver one came with the larger bore exhaust
Drilling the sump for a straight oil return, no oil starvation here
Engine from the oil return side so you can see it's straight from the turbo
Engine in place, notice the washer bottle moved. And a metal shield for the air intake.
(and you should have seen the plastic pipe bulging on boost :-)
And the slightly large exhaust
Nice little fuel & boost gauges
On track. Getting 209bhp@9psi due to the boost being upped
So, an intercooler was added to bring it back to 6psi (about 160-170bhp
And it was FAB, very controllable when sideways.
Do it do it do it :-)
