Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gasket/ flange issues

Might be worth looking into a hta unit one day then by the sounds of it. I like the idea of earlier spool for same power, what's not to like hah I would agree the torque curve looks chopped, quite by accident it makes it really nice on track though, nice progressive power and not a huge spike of tor...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gasket/ flange issues

Also Ashley what swayed you to go hta over the gtx series? Or was the gtx never in contention in your plans?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gasket/ flange issues

Peak torque in yours being around 4200 and mine being around 5000. Definitely earlier power/ torque, and my torque peaks quite low imo for setup and power but holds all the way. Would that be attributed to cam timing? It's definitely a unique torque curve, never seen a 3sgte like it. http://i154.pho...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gasket/ flange issues

sounds sensible suggestions. I'm working on borrowing a laptop to get the map files to send to you for a check. Question regarding your build, your lower power/ smaller turbo setup was that a gtx3071? I can't remember. What rpm was that full spool at? My 3076r is between 4-4500rpm. Question is would...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gasket/ flange issues

As you have suggested, whenever I've changed the gaskets I replace the studs and nuts. Genuine Toyota studs and stiffnuts. One thing the mapper did say was the difference in power at 1.5 bar to 1.7 bar was pretty small. So I'm assuming it's just blowing hot air basically, hence my thinking a remap c...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gasket/ flange issues

The turbo flange wasn't warped but the manifold collector flange was slightly out, but it was very marginal, I'd be more inclined to say it was the gasket that failed. The turbo to manifold joint that I replaced with a copper gasket has been the only joint not to blow twice (probably cursed it now l...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gasket/ flange issues

I've gone for a thicker copper gasket on the turbo to manifold joint, so far that's held out, so I've ordered up a sheet of 1.5mm copper to make up some gaskets for all the joints to see if it helps. Even if it works a bit of me feels its just symptom solving not solving the underlying problem though?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Gasket/ flange issues

Hi, Hoping the wealth of knowledge on here can help me best formulate a plan going forward. Car is 400hp, forged engine, gt3076r running 1.7 bar as a bit of background. The following issue didn't occur for the first year to 18 months after finishing this stage of my build, but now has become a reocc...

Very interested in this, as local as it'll get for me. Just need to check if I'm at a wedding that weekend though.

Re: Japfest 2016 - IMOC Member Attendee List - Silverstone Sunday 24.04.16

Definitely in the summer would be fun to arrange a meet over here. Camp a night. I might check when some of the auto test events are on and could coincide it with one of there bigger events (only time trial in a car park)

Totally agree with all, really great day, I also wish I had socialised at the stand a bit more and got a bit of mr2 chat but with so much to see and do every time i popped back there wasn't many people about. Will definitely try to attend more events in the future and thanks to the organisers :thuml...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Costs of 500hp

I have my car currently running just over 400hp and without looking at my receipts £8K could get you somewhere close to buying all the bits some second hand parts probably (which then runs the risk of them being duff and buying twice essentially). I bought pretty much everything brand new and £8k wo...
