high milage going single ?

Hi all

after finding that my turbos are well dead, was looking on going single but my car has got high milage 130,000 will this matter? is it worth going single or should i just put some stockers back in and stay at bpu?

i have not got mega bucks spare about £3,000

130k miles isn't high mileage IMHO.

For that budget I wouldn't recommend a single conversion unless you are handy with the tools and get lucky with buying parts.

3k isn't going to cut it for a single unfortunately. A decent single turbo kit will cost that before you fuel it or map it.

Mileage isn't anything to worry about. A compression test and leak down test will tell you if your engine is healthy enough. I would always recommend changing the main ancillaries when going for a single install (oil pump etc).

okey lets see what i need please help if i need more or let me know what is needed so i can ring it all up.(yes i will be doing alot of it all my self).

650 injectors

manifold

turbo

waste gate

piggy back ecu

wide band o2

oil cooler

twin 255 walbro pumps

fuel pressure regulator

map

I'm not a big fan of piggy back ecu's on the best of days but going single i would say no no..

if your doing most of the work and you have the time you should be ok. maybe find a good seccond hand turbo from a member on here i'v seen a few going. that will save you a few pennies.

Edited due to my epic spelling fail.

Full service (different plugs, fresh oil & filter etc)

Leak Down Test

Turbo Elbow/Downpipe

Fabrication of pipework from Turbo to Intercooler

Large K&N filter

Oil Return Lines for Turbo

Oil Vapour Breather setup/catchcan

I'd also recommend..

Front Crank Oil Seal

Oil Pump

Water Pump

Pulley wheel

Timing Belt

Aux Belt

These are the things you need done for peace of mind. The autobox isn't much good after 500ish HP (Depending on torque levels of course) so you would need to look into a built box after that.

i see so many turbos

but what one to get as i have a auto. aiming for 500hp .

or should i just get some turbo technics stage 3 hybrid?

aarrrrhhh

i have done all pumps and pulleys apart from

water pump

Get a turbo kit from one of the traders. Turbo wise, a GT35R will do nicely.

GT35R on a stock box

To slow:d

please correct me but wouldnt the

gt35r

be running at max to make the 500hp

wouldnt it be safer to run a 600hp turbo at lower psi or am i completly wrong?

i just looked on ebay and this turbo is £300 from america so very cheap

GT35R can produce around 520bhp @ 1.4bar ish. Nic on here had a very nice example

Agree.

What about just getting a supra that has already been converted and running reliably 1-2 years.....

thats good then, how comes these turbos are so cheap?

Make sure it's not an eBay rip off turbo. Must be DBB, T4 footprint and new

that be where is different it says t3 footprint god dame it

I'd say you want to double that £3K budget at least mate, to go single on a reliable basis.

I've spent over £8K already, and i'm still fitting supporting mods.

My advise would be, do your homework before deciding on which route to go down. Take everything into account, like fitting larger brakes etc, to cope with the increase in power

The single route is like opening a pack of pringles. ONCE YOU POP YOU CAN'T STOP!!

Mine was a GT3582R (double ball bearing) with a T4 AR 0.82 exhaust housing, perfect for a fast and responsive street setup.

Talk to Ian C he has run a piggy back ECU for years with great results 550+RWHP.

also depends how much you done with your BPU. Paul at whifbitz says it will only be around £3k for me to go single as iv done so much to the car...

Really Malcolm? I thought his kits alone were 3k?
