Project upgrade has commenced....

Time to upgrade, i be swapping my original set for my HKS T51Kai BB set up. as pics below

Surgery time

They are off, dam I'm quick

Gosh the old set up looks mean an sexy. and guess what the turbo is HKS I thought they were Just Garret T51 WTF

that do for now, my back gone.

Nice one Ash, looking forward to that ride with the new setup, you may convert me back to a large tubby;)

Ive not seen a setup like that before with twin wastegates on a single.

Think Kevin runs twin Tials now on his car Jamie *waits to be corrected*

Yeah, the chatter from them is awesome, i feel like putting them back on.

Whats the benefit of twin wastesgates?

Good going Ash I'm guessing by the night-time shot of the engine bay, that your lad is still hogging the garage?

See? You should have let me give it a run yesterday for old times sake.

Look forward to seeing the new set up.

Good luck with this Ash and nice to meet you on Saturday.

Your car sounded ace on the way to pod

Sorry if I've not kept up but what did you have on there before Ash?

Whats the benefit of twin wastesgates?

None I'd imagine, if anything it's going to make boost control tricky - any tiny imbalance on the wastegate (they are not exactly carefully matched things) and the pulse differences I would think make it difficult to properly control boost

looks quality...iv never seen 2 wastegates on a single either....as asked before what gains are there? (apart from the sound! )

ignore that then^^^^ lol

Whats the benefit of twin wastesgates?

I like to now to

Also Ash, what is that new manifold? It's got unequal length runners

There's a full spec in my Garage Homer.

Correct and its HKS V band fitment

I looked already mate, but there's two in there

One way of learning from the Master.

The only real reason for two wastegates would be increased flow to stop boost creep when using large turbos, as already mentioned a single large wastegate would be much easier to manage.

You could use a simple open closed solenoid with two wastegates to give you switchable boost pressure using two different springs but with most modern boost controllers and ECUs its not really worth it.

nice going ash,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,at last

Nice one ash, thats passion straight home from the show and in bits. keep us updated mate.

Mine decided to start running 10 AFR last night, after running 11.7 all weekend, all good fun.

You can do the uk-rich detailing work when I'm done.

Good to meet you to mate, what ECU you got?

Its the toyota ecu with a tectom board in, it was big in japan

but the sofware was a fortune.

Andy at AMT has it, it runs sweet as a nut fueling was spot on.

It runs closed low down which is smooth then swaps to map, on boost no splutter, miss or anything.

Update.

New pulleys, water pump, timing belt and BL crank pulley fitted.

Turbo, manifold and DP fitted fitted.

Looking good

Very Very Nice Ash!!!!!!!!
