I rarely read threads of this nature as they're often a carbon copy of what someone else has previously done. It's rare that people try something new. Thanks for sharing. More than welcome. Was a fun experiment for sure :mrgreen: How was you getting any airflow through the intercooler? Scoop in the...
With headwork, a better inlet and WI, I would expect 450-500bhp to be relatively reliable on a freshly-built stock 3SGTE bottom end. The issue was having to force 2.3 bar through the engine in order to get the most out of the turbo. One thing it does show, adding to the results that T.F.S attained, ...
Hows this little machine getting on mate? not had an update in forever and i know we both never managed TOTB in the end.. Well, managed an 11.78@120mph, but the boost required was almost 2.3 bar and with the intake temps reaching 70°C I decided to pull it off the road and go down a different route ...

You'll defo see me again I have Pod fever, but I killed my 4th gear synchro on sunday so got to drop the box off the car & get it rebuilt it should be ready to rock within a couple of weeks. Keep up the good work it's great to see an unconventional approach I'll keep a close eye on this with in...
Well, the first shakedown of the season (late start due to mapping lots of Nissans and poor weather) went well today. 11.78s @ 120.58mph with 1.688s 60ft. I'm happy with that on a stock engine with old school technology T78, so now it's time to uprate the clutch, and give the engine a bit of a refre...
Because sketchmyster engine has lower compression so will not need to retard the ignition timing, can run higher boost and with a dose of octane booster will have no problem getting to that power. I am not that far short of that power with a stock Rev 2 ecu a CT 20B at 1.5 bar boost but on 110 octa...
Can I pick your brains on two issues Turbonoz? Camshafts There's a fellow Beams 3S-GE redtop owner who claims to have found a source for drop-in camshafts. They are specced as: "inlet 270 and 11.5 lift. outlet 264 and 11.05 lift". 1] would you expect that the beams ECU would cope with the...
Have you ever given it a try? actually, yes i have! i was one of the first on this forum to carry out a rev3 ecu conversion on my old rev2 some 6+ years ago. given your advice later in the thread to reduce timing to cope with high boost, how on earth do you expect a stock-ish rev2 to run 350hp with...
Sketchmyster: Converting to a Rev 3 ECU won't get you 350bhp by itself, but it can be done. You would need to monitor fuelling & knock levels religiously. By the time you've paid for the conversion, AFR gauge, wideband sensor & knock display (these aren't required to get the power, but esse...
I thought you only used motec "the best" bob? I am glad you are keeping up. Its a friends car, he had the ECU fitted by Thor a number of years ago and it never worked, in fact it damaged 2 engines. I have sent it back to Link to be checked out and they found someone had been soldering par...
