[Josh_PoloGTi]

A fairly big Garrett Turbo!!

Nice one James! I knew it would be quick!!

 

[Geeba]

Hummmm... gathered that it would be a Garrett charger.....

 

[NikB]

You finally managed to shoehorn it in then. I take it that means the Octy is back on the road then? 165mph - you bad man!

 

[JBS-Sales]

on a private air strip !

 

[Ed]

Nice, that must surprise the hell out of people!

Was it a tricky install to do? Look forward to some pictures.

Cheers, Ed

That dodgy boost guage of yours again James.

Have you clamped the map. How do you stop it chucking overboost codes? []

 

[02 Bora]

I thinks it's the most popular conversion choice in the US at the moment.

For those of us who don't know, how does it compare to the IHI [?]

 

[JBS-Sales]

totally different animal all together.

starts building boost at 3.4k

by 4.5 k all hell has broke loose

it just gets worse till about 7k than,

change gear and it starts allover again !!!

 

[rob_watti]

can you give us details on the spec of the engine mate?? looking to go down the big turbo route myself later this year. want to know how to repair myself for it without wasting to much money

thanks rob

The engine spec is as follows.

s3 pisons 20mm rp

JBS H Beam rods

JBS small port gas flowed head and matched inlet

uprated one piece ss valves

matched valve gear

lightened,ballanced, crank ,pistons and rods

3 inch down pipe

fully mapable water injection

JBS nitrous install

FMIC

6 speed late triple shaft box with atb diff

think thats about it !

 

[rob_watti]

what fmic have you got on it???

 

[MkIV Turbo]

So was it straightforward enough to fit that ATP kit on the car, being the fact its for a LHD car?

 

[sparrow]

Nice!

Rolling Roaded it yet?

 

[JBS-Sales]

This is a JBS GT28rs kit NOT a ATP KIT !!!!

Hope to have it rr very soon still messing with maping the nitrous and water injection.

We will post our finding ASAP

 

[MkIV Turbo]

Ok, well its an ATP turbo though. I take it you guys have just made up your own mannifold for it then. What sort of price will the kit be as I'm evaluating larger turbo solutions at the minute.

... s3 pisons 20mm rp ...

Oh yeah, forgot to ask, surely not 34psi on standard S3 pistons?! Thats 2.34bar!!! Was that just bench testing then? I would have thought you would have blown the cylinder head off at that boost!

Who's map is it running?

Sounds very impressive!
