Project 300.

[UlysseNuovo]

Yup, I bought a new turbo (GT2871R) about 3 to 4 weeks ago with the help of yellowtaxi. It is to replace my stock turbo that is protesting because I am overboosting at about 1.3 - 1.4 bar. Certain times when idling, I have white smoke spraying out like dengue mosquitos fogging

So, about 14 days ago, sent her in to TorqueGear to install the turbo, stainless steel manifold, downpipe (upper and lower), intercooler piping, front mounted intercooler, stainless steel induction pipe and to move the battery to the rear.

All of it was done except for the battery relocation when I collected her last Saturday.

Many more things to be done within this week itself. I will be sending her for installing AVC-R, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, install the silicon hoses and tuning.

Tuning is the real big question mark. Been talking to a few I.A. old timers Coupe owner of which way to go. But then at the end I will have to decide I am willing to try...

I thought I will not upgrade her power but gtec1 was the key to open the flood gates Once got a bit of power, you will want more

[bravosx]

Ah, that explains what was being done when I was at Torque Gear last Friday.

[raitag]

UN, try talking to Thomas GT Auto... he would want u to try his Haltech Interceptor... piggyback ECU... if u r willing to try la... last time he quoted me RM2600... includes tuning on the rollers...

[raitag]

btw, how the lag???

[gtfan]

LIVE map the way dude

Surprisingly, he can feel the punch by 3.5k rpm.

[Redd]

dyno dyno!!!

redd

[UlysseNuovo]

I say it is more like smoothness rather then lag Now at gt auto. Let's see what happens la?





If euro goes up today, then tuning la, bwahahaha!

[UlysseNuovo]

Today, I will be installing -

1. Defi Oil Tempreture gauge.
2. Defi Exhaust Tempreture gauge.
3. Apexi AVC-R.
4. Walbro fuel pump.
5. .....still thinking.

Now just enjoying lunch break at the Rock Cafe, I wish I am in college.

[Redd]

wahlaneh, suddenly so much money. u were hedging against the crash of the EU issit?

redd

[UlysseNuovo]

redd,

bwahahaha, I am too depress now. So, spend Must either have a baby (human) soon or adopt one to curb spending.

[desin]

~SS manifold?!?! wow!!! rich buddy leh...
~SS inlet-pipe at the side of the engine?!?!?!?! <ha?!?!?!?! tell me when u're able to touch the pipe for 30sec after the run!>
~Bosch FPR 3.8bar??? That's very good! PROVIDED map properly 1st, else u'll be on burning rich. IF without proper map yet, run with gtec2 <normal fueling> is good, since u already got FMIC fitted.
~Stock inlet box! that's good!!! dun upgrade it!!! otherwise u'll regret!
~Make sure bring some spare Idle'ing valve in the car when u're pushing it hard. that's a minimum requirement spare-part to bring along when u're pushing it hard <maybe ~1.4 or above?>

[UlysseNuovo]

[gtfan]

now hyundai got 20% sparepart sale till end of May.

Can go buy spare idling valve....hahaha this plastic crap won't last if you are boosting high.

Rm200++ for a korean idling valve (hyundai matrix 1.6)....damn cheap deal as compared to ori rm1k+

[gtfan]

The metal bits....either you wrap it with thermal wrap like mummy or get it heat treated....then it will be less hot.

[gtfan]

Now you make me itchy for this.....

I think this intercooler is less taller than the evo 3 design.

Bar and Plate Intercooler Corn size: 550mm x 175mm x 64mm, Overall length: 690mm

* 2.25" (57mm) Inlet and Outlet

* Maximum Pressure: 45psi

* Max Horsepower Capacity : 450hp

with ebay, you will have issue sending to malaysia

[gtfan]

No issue as long as you don't mind paying the shipping charges

Heheheh this past one month, been buying lots of stuff from ebay. Habis my saving.

[stevo]

UN, you need to buy buy buy somemore! hehehe

[PeNyU]

UN,
How much is the GT turbo if I may inquire.........

[UlysseNuovo]

Penyu,

I just pm you.

Once you buy the turbo, be ready to spend money like running water

[studmuffin]

ceramic coating next

[raitag]

hey, 3,500 rpm is not good kay... my current 2800-3000 rpm also sakit hati... and i think my manifold koyak again...damn.... desin, how's your CS manifold? fit nicely?

[DeOngster]

I can get Garretts at a good price - www.autogridz.com we sell garrett turbo's - subscribers will definitely get a better price than retail!

the CS manifold not yet fitted, coz i notice the flange is wrap, no time to source ppl help me to skim to perfect flat yet... so... what to do? and it's paddy season, i'm busy like hell...

wah yr german stainless steel manifold crack again

3.5k rpm ok wat.... Some of my fren evos, 4k rpm....but the punch is HELL

[UlysseNuovo]

gtfan
the german manifold, I think raitag sent back to Germany because it does not fit (if I am not wrong).

[UlysseNuovo]

Today still at GT Auto, installing all the bling bling gauges. Still installing now

Now installing the Walbro 255 LH fuel pump.

But while I was here, I withness a new M3 that just installed Akrapovic exhaust that cost RM20,000 plus He managed to gain great sounds and about 29 bhp.

[raitag]

ahhh... akrapovic... titanium exhaust.... damn good....

[UlysseNuovo]

Got all the electronic bling bling into the Coupe. Moment of truth at about 2030 hrs. Dyno.

210bhp at 0.51 boost. Something is not right. She is not boosting. So, tomorrow will be another day but not for sorting her out. So, 300 will have to wait. Duh!

[PeNyU]

UN,
210bhp on wheel?

[raitag]

check the wastegate?

[gtfan]

maybe some connection hose to the apexi avcr not right. Thus you are getting only the base boost of 0.5 bar.

[pistole]

- ya ya.

- 0.5 bar is base boost (ie , the boost is being "controlled" by just
the spring in the wastegate-actuator).

.

[UlysseNuovo]

- Ya, will bring it in to torque gear tomorrow or Monday to check the actuator.


- Thomas of GT Auto says that if base boost already 210bhp on wheels, then at 1 bar equals 420bhp? Hahaha.


- if so my internals will not take it then.

[Redd]

if ur getting base boost i dont think its the actuator at fault. sounds like something in the boost control circuit - the boost controller is letting all the pressure thru and the actuator opening is controlled by the actuator spring, not the boost controller.

GT2871R is supposed to be a 400hp turbo. dont overboost or ur gonna need new internals.

redd

[UlysseNuovo]

Redd, during dyno they tried removing the hose from the controller to see if that was at fault. Seems not though. Geesh, the old gremlin emerges again.

[studmuffin]

do u still have ur old turbo

[raitag]

wow... good figures... good luck killing the gremlins...

[UlysseNuovo]

Installing the external wastegate. Tial. Checked the progress, almost done. Hopefully tomorrow it is done.



If you guys looking for Defi gauge, try Samurai, cheaper than what I got. Thanks to jedcoyxiicut for telling. It is cheaper by RM60 - RM80 per gauge. That is good savings.

[Redd]

wah Tial wastegate. screamer or no screamer?

cant wait to see the dyno numbers on this monster!

redd

[stevo]

This time, you super glue the defi gauge ka?

[UlysseNuovo]

Today, collected my Coupe, missed her so much .

Went to GT Auto to dyno. Thomas realise that something was not right as it boost to 1.5 bar. Found the problem Torque Gear did not complete the wastegate installation, hose went wrong place and a few holes no screw. But no big issue la.

Dyno went on after the quick fix......


And....
....
..

300 achieved at 1.2 bar.

I am happy.

Now wait to see the fuel bill hahaha.

[Redd]

wooo 300 whp = around 350 on crank.

can u post up the dyno charts, would like to see the curves.

redd

[UlysseNuovo]

Redd,

I will post up sooooooon. Have to change computer Fuelling is an issue, so, after this I will be popping in the "high fuelling" gtec1 and a few days time will dyno again.

With the Tial wastegate, it screams like it is going to explode

[UlysseNuovo]

I will post up photos too but need time, so how, a bit lazy lately.

[gtfan]

Hehehe.....1am project upgrade ecu at craven mamak. 15 minutes to swap the chip turn out to be 30 mins when we realise some screw driver needed is missing from my toolbox. So have to improvise....hahaha at least got the work done.

Curious onlooker was thinking, wah see lar, sport car also bonnet open. Buy some more Fiat

UN must be worried....hopefully this gtfan don't screw up my ecu. Ha. Hopefully the gtec1 Higher Fueling will help him to boost safer.

1.2 bar should be sufficient although this turbo can easily take up higher boost

[UlysseNuovo]

Gtfan,

Thanks for your eletronic engineering assistance. Next time, shall do it in the day

The gtec1 higher fuelling must have helped. Now i get the 'blurp blurp boom' sound (rich). Shall dyno again before I go on tour.

[joe_yong]

congrats!!!
