supra dan Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 what did you get fitted for £4700? what turbo kit, ecu etc? looks great by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Looks very nice and powerful. On that last pic there is a blue hose resting against the back of the turbo, has that been tied up out way now? What sort of power will that beast be kicking out ?

Homer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Good to hear it's coming along. That hose for the oil feed is a bit dodgy, it's only a basic low temp hose and I really wouldn't want one of those with that type of screw clamp fitting sitting over the top of the turbo. It's best to use a hose designed for the job like the earls ones the US kits use. The hose you have is the sort of thing you'd use for a water line or oil drain. It also seems to have some tape wrapped into the screws (presumably to stop the braids unwinding, not a good idea in that area!) What is the 2nd hose going back over the turbo? (edit - just seen your last post, so it's the water return) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes fella tied up lol only going to run around 500-550hp because of the auto box but will do plenty more than that when i have got my manual box in it will be setup to run around 600hp when it's finished;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 As someone has already mentioned the boost controller hose near the turbo shell... Those silicon hoses won't like the temp near the tubby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 ecu? sorry fella Greddy e manage blue and yes it works just fine with them big injectors before anybody asks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Please bear in mind these are only the pictures that Paul sent to me when he was doing the job so things have changed slightly and as for hoses near turbos dont think they would last to long lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries at all fella Paul had it as a kit fella and it spools very good not much difference between the standard twins;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Thats amazing, If you dont mind me asking how long did it take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Which 800cc injectors are you using? I had PE ones but as the EMB can't adjust injector lag time the car wouldn't run. Just make sure the injector lag time is the same as stock otherwise you'll have to reconsider the ECU Sorry, not trying to be negative, just want you to be aware of any potential issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
