hodge Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm liking the sound of that Andy. So how much did that bad boy cost you then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafan72 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sounds a huge wheel for a 42 based turbo, Still T4 i take it? Yes it is.... Think its pretty much as big as I can go on the current Manifold..... It just fits in the housing according to Precision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I reckon it will be worth fitting a QS valve to that seeing as its divided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I reckon it will be worth fitting a QS valve to that seeing as its divided. Totally agree. There getting good results with spool times in the states with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafan72 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yeah was thinking that... Just need to modify the manifold to make it open... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 With regards to the QS valve, I looked into getting one of these but it would be a headache with regards to the downpipe and intercooler pipes. Think it adds about an inch to the height, depending on the size of the tubby would it maybe mean that the manifold would need adapted too?

johnny g Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Depends, but I think the manifold would be ok. Is there enough play to move an inch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste time with anything under about 70mm imo, modern turbos spool so fast there is no need, your manifold is divided so wont work with QS unless you cut it about, it already has a 10mm spacer welded on so H cover turbos will fit.

I didn't seriously consider it, I was just giving my mind treats really. Quite enjoyed looking at it and reading about it. You are right though, as much as it may work with the smaller turbos it is only going to make the car undriveable lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yeah was thinking that... Just need to modify the manifold to make it open... I'd fit the turbo to the manifold and try and close your bonnet before you buy a QSV Andy. I've fitted a GT42r to mine and without a QSV I couldn't shut the bonnet. I had to cut off the flange on the manifold, cut. About 15 maybe 20mm off the runners and weld it back on again. Because I did this the wastegate tube had to also be lowered. I know mine is a whifbitz manifold and yours is a PHR if I recall but worth checking before you spend your cash mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I would be a bit disappointed considering the aim at the beginning and I assume the cost that went with that brief, or is it just me This power was created at only 1.6bar of boost as Andys wastegate would not hold any more pressure and the turbo is not well matched in terms of compressor size vs turbine hence why the turbo goes out of its efficiency range. This is where my recommendation of changing the turbo out for a much more modern unit with a newer designed comp wheel. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Isn't this the error of MVP when they supplied the kit. I would have thought they should have better matched the components to eachother to get the best out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
