Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gt3076 plus external wastegate piping.

Thanks guys.

Bob I'll go your way as it'll save me taking the turbo off again and see how it goes re spiking. Any line on the pressurised side before the throttle butterfly?

Hi, Hope someone can assist me. I'm finally getting my turbo and wastegate all fitted. From what I've read regarding the pipes to the wastegate I should have one vacuum pipe that runs from the compressor side of the turbo to the port nearest the base of the w'gate. Trouble is my garret 3076 doesn't ...

Re: All over for G164 CKV... didn't make the moon after all.

Agree fully with Lewis jay.

I read this kind of thread, which is all too common on imoc now and wonder what new members must think of this place sometimes, with all the sniping and personal digs that go flying.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Best exhaust for bhp gains?

But you don't have a vtec engine, so it's not a comparison. People are only offering info from experience and modding the N/A for mega power is hard and expensive. You're talking race engine expensive. A bit of head work and an exhaust and filter are only going to add minimal gains. After that where...

I'd bet on it being an air leak from somewhere also.

If you have ever ridden a bicycle or motor cycle in a rain storm you know how sharp the impact of a large water dropplet can be, but a fog or drizzle will not cause the same painful experience because the droplets are small enough they are strongly influenced by the direction of flow of the air str...

Re: Track day car

Ive made my PAS switchable. So for days at longer faster tracks i can have it switched off, love the heavier steering. And short twisty tracks it can stay on to aid with tight corners. Only downside is after it's been switched off, to turn it back on i need to switch the ignition off and on again. N...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Garrett 3076r water lines

My last post was just a joke, i know they are commonly fitted.

Turbo i got came with threaded fittings coming out of it, didn't realise i could remove these and fit banjo bolts.

Can i pm you peter ref sizes and things of pipes?

Re: Jap Performance Magazine, NUR MR2 cover car

Not a full interior.

Carpets, dash and a small stereo install.

Has lighter seats and no roof lining or door cards. Fairly heavy duty cage fitted too which will keep the weight up.

Re: Exhaust idea...

Sure i've seen the std turbo flange on ebay but cant find one now.

Can buy one here though

http://www.koracing.net/old/products.html

Almost at the bottom of the page labelled, flanges, flanges, flanges.

I realise it's a us site, probably find a uk supplier if you scour google.

Re: Exhaust idea...

Maybe the space is deceptive when the ic is removed then. Looks like enough space for one going to the side and one going down. I'll take your word for it though having done it already though. nowt wrong with an ebay special bob, 90% of my car is ebay bought, managed to keep the cost down quite well...
