jevansio Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Cheers guys, Jamie, I'll get some more photo's of the turbo next time I'm down (close-ups of the water jacket), it's not a divided housing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim1978 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Subscribed! Looking really good. In answer to Homer question which was destroyed with the restore, boost will be around 1.6 BAR, rev limit will be 7200 rpm How come you limit the revs to 7.200 rpm with new internals?

Cheers, the rev limit was chosen by Michel, I don't really know why 7200, does that seem too low??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not expert on the subject and I just signed up on the board....but with upgraded internals and ported/upgraded cylinder head it seems a bit conservative but better to be safe than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I am not expert on the subject and I just signed up on the board....but with upgraded internals and ported/upgraded cylinder head it seems a bit conservative but better to be safe than sorry You are correct, the moving masses are indeed going to be lighter and capable of more RPM's...but it's not worth it if the turbo can't really push at those higher RPM's. The GT4088R will be perfect for a rev range from 4-7000rpm and won't really benefit from many more rpm's than stock. Looks like a proper spec, it's nice to see someone doing a proper job.

jevansio Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 More progress, engine is going back in this afternoon. Here's more pics with more stuff bolted on (rail, injectors, inlet manifold etc), and the some of the fueling kit. One of the polished pulleys is on too. You can also see where the oil filter has been removed in preparation for the relocation kit & cooler. I wasn't a bling person before this build, but I'm over the moon with the engine so far : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Things seem to be moving along every day now. Todays progress, exhaust manifold is on & heat wrapped, turbo is just placed on at the mo, engine is back in. Will have pics of the clutch & flywheel in a bit (the RPS unit looked well smart in situ Ian said). The 60mm HKS wastegate was well large Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Nice thermal wrapping Do you have a blanket for the exhaust housing?? You really should put one on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
