Noz Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Good spec mate, you'd be better running a lower compression to reduce chances of det. id go with a t61 turbo as the lag is pretty rubbish, plus the XS T61 actually has a 67mm inducer wheel anyway though they are spec'ed to 61mm.

Pulley Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Can't wait to start my NA-T build, looks awesome in black n blue, really nicely done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Your love it. Some really nice NA-T's coming out the woodwork lately. Hopefully this will continue as a build thread and we can perve away at the NA awesome'ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al02uk Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks for the kind words chaps. I really should have taken more photos tbh. I'll keep putting up progress pictures from now on though A couple of bits I'm stuck on at the moment are: finding O2 sensors to fit the downpipe and struggling to find pics of oil cooler install locations (although I'm sure this will be more clear when I take the bumper off).

Noz Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I fitted mine behind my indicator on the passenger side. Your kinda stuck with oil cooler locations due to either the size of it, or mainly the length of piping. Why can't you use the standard o2 sensors? My down pipe had the required flange welded (Poorly) on to use the stocks ones I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al02uk Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 I can't find a downpipe with those flanges on mate, or just the flanges to weld on. I have two 17 row coolers, one for the oil and one for the gearbox, hopefully they will fit ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) It's really because of the gearbox mate. Apparently the auto is only good for 400bhp if you do that 'shim' modification. Not sure how true that is though... Have a look at David P's Project Supercharger thread (Post #262). He put together a hybrid of the stronger TT auto gearbox and the N/A valve body.
