Sheefa Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Turbotechnics are definitely the best and clearly Alex's are doing very well. To be fair, mine were refitted by "Turbofit" and we all know what happened there......! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Be very interested to see the feedback on the Munro Stage 4, could be a really good option with all the extras with the rebuilt turbo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks Alex what exactly did you get done on your turbos mate? Steel wheels? They came with the car mate, as far as im away they are steel internals and rated to 1.6bar. I normally run 1.5 but then goto 1.6 on the methanol mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The other alternative is getting a second hand set but there's no guarantee that these will last or that they won't blow up as soon as I hit boost. Especially as they will be jspec turbos as I've seen another thread saying the stud patterns are different from uk spec turbos? My ceramics are running well with 110,000 miles of spinning away happily. It probably just comes down to how often the oil has been changed as my car has been tweaked to 335bhp at the drive wheels so they are probably a tad over boosted. These turbos seem to go on and on if treated to good oil, having said that I'm thinking of going hybrid when they do fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks like my supra has had 2 sets of hybrids over its 16 years in the country! A set of turbo dynamics running 2bar at one point and then the turbotechnics running 1.6bar, i am currently now on the hunt through hundreds of threads and reciepts to find out when/why the chance happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that mate! 2 bar?!? I don't plan on running those turbos anywhere near that, that seems crazy to me. It'll be 1.2 bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be 1.2 bar /QUOTE] Haha I know! But there was a lot of other factors to that aswell going by a quick spec list. I run mine at 1.2bar around town, 1.5bar for dual carriageway/motorway fun and then 1.6bar on a Sunday of it's nice lol, can guarantee a good few super cars going about then!

Big Mark Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) If anyone wants to test out the hybrid set up at wroxhall, then I'm more than happy to let people have a feel of the potential Im in Alex Me too please. Tho I may have puched the button to order the Munro's by then if I decide to go down the road. Tho a single looks better. I think my main concern is what is the power like below 3500 on a single like a PT 6062 compared to Hybrids. If there was pretty much no difference I'd go single, but if there was noticeable lag and power deficit compared to Hybrids then I'd probably go for the Stage 4 Munros Edited June 2, 2016 by Big Mark (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Just an update. Got the car back after having the hybrids fitted and there's still a problem where the first turbo doesn't seem to do sod all. It's like a single turbo where's there's nothing until the second turbo kicks in and then all hell breaks loose. Here's the boost graph: It doesn't appear to go up but honestly it drops off and holds back like there's no power until the second turbo kicks in. Really destroys the drivability. I pray the first turbo hasn't let go again already Here's some of the insides from my old turbo: The other turbines were shot and binned apparently. I'd be interested to see if anyone has had the same problem maybe VSVs or something? Apart from the first turbo issue the power is unreal. It's stupidly quick at 1.3 bar which is the highest setting I'll be going on hi boost setting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Are you doing this work yourself or is it being done by someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Had the work done. Going to take the car back tomorrow. The garage is good and always willing to sort out any issues, I'm just curious as to whether anyone else had experienced this. I'm thinking its a hose or valve from the sequential system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Still doing it after checking all piped and tested the valves between the turbos it appears to be working fine. Might try and get another one if anyone has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inazone Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The VSV's, are these some kind of solenoid valve? Is there a modern alternative as these cars aren't getting any younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
