Irvy Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hi folks i have slowly been purchasing a few items over the months and am nearing the time when i will have a go at the install i am really looking for advice on how to proceed and where to get any parts i may not be aware of...esp the connecting part - all will become clear. I have in my posession UK hybrid turbos - came out of Dales car along with an external wastegate. Along with this I have the 550 injectors and fuel rail from the car. I am awaiting a resistor pack from a forum member which should be on its way soon. I also have a greddy EO1 fitted and the Emanage sitting on a shelf:) Am assuming i can have this set up ready togo and contact Ian C for a helping hand. How do i go about this is the big Question! I have a competent person to help me out with fitting just need to figure out how to piece things together..esp where the wastegate is concerned and how to connect downpipes etc as i was told this will not fit any advice would be appreciated. thanx Irvine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Irvine, I assume you have the UK exhaust manifold as well? As the UK turbo won't fit on a J-spec manifold. How do you plan on fitting an external wastegate on a stock turbo set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Dales setup had the manifold cut down the middle and welded. The turbos operated like in TTC mode instead. He had an external wastegate as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Nic I think Dales set up was similar to this albeit with the external wastegate.CLICK AWAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irvy Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Here's some pictures of Irvine's new UK set up showing the wastegate. thanx for that james - I dont have pix yet. Dales setup had the manifold cut down the middle and welded. The turbos operated like in TTC mode instead. He had an external wastegate as well. I dont know much about all this...i am hoping from the info i gleam here my mate will be able to begin the install. does the wastegate require independent fitting? or is it just for boost control and ready to go welded as it is? I assume you have the UK exhaust manifold as well? As the UK turbo won't fit on a J-spec manifold. this i aint sure about...need advice on how to overcome connections cheers lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 you will need a UK spec 1st decat pipe:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvy Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 you will need a UK spec 1st decat pipe:) I feel a chat with Chris W will be required - presently have both CW decat pipes I am assuming that from James' pix I have the uk manifold in the box(I aint opened anything in the boxes yet - apart from seeing the top of the wastegate and a few other shiny bits). If I can get the correct decat pipe and check on how to fit in TTC I can go begin the process? this is very helpful so far cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irvy Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 does anyone know for certain about the uk pipes regarding fitment do i buy a uk 1st pipe which will connect to the jap 2nd pipe....or do i need both uk decat pipes as i will need to connect to the uk downpipe one end and my nur spec the other???

Chris Wilson Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 You need just the UK first cat pipe, and the second cat pipe will need the boss for the 2nd O2 sensor the UK spec ecu runs. I can mod one of my J-Spec seconds if that's what you already have, or sell you complete pipes as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvy Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 hi chris are you basing this on the assumption my car is a uk model? I am not following otherwise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I've lost the plot altogether on this thread. Tell me what turbo pack is on the engine and and what you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvy Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Chris ok...quick resume i have a jspec i have dales old turbos (UK) your jspec decats in my car the turbos have a uk manifold i have a resistor pack on its way and have the 550s and rail how to connect it at the downpipe - uk style cheers Irvine ps...noticed a pipe coming out the external wastegate...hope this connects to something simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 yep the first UK spec decat pipe will mate up with your j spec mid pipe OK. CW got a little confused:nyah: . you dont need the extra o2 sensor as you still have jspec engine management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The pipe you are talking about is the EGR pipe, you will have to blank that hole off, I think. J-Specs don't run an EGR system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sorry about resurrecting this thread. Can I just ask, based on what I've read, that if one wishes to replace jspec turbos with UKs you cannot just swap them over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thats correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thats correct. Really? I was sure that somebody had said all it needs is the UK manifold and downpipe as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
