Dan's GTX3582r, 2.0 20v, project '600'

[Dan1720v]

That was a fear of mine... I can turn it round and make the downpipe a bit of a ball ache, or, run a sidewinder style manifold like Graham. I am seeing how it fits on sunday with the bulkhead.

 

[james.l]

Dora anyone make a side mount mani??

 

[Dan1720v]

No one that I know of... How hard can it be...

 

[t0m]

That is mahooooooosive.

 

[Dan1720v]

Well... Today was judgement day whether I had bitten off more than I could chew turbo wise. Bill (as was I) was very sceptical about it fitting. Unfortunatly, at the current turbo flange angle of ther TSR Manifold made it impossible to fit But it was SO close. I wasn't giving up. So I took the grinder out.
















Only joking.
It was close but no cigar. So unclamped the turbo from the manifold and dropped the motor in. Then faffed about getting the turbo in(Lets hope I dont have to change this!!)

HAHA!! Result We are in and cleared! So knocked up 2 brackets to hold the turbo on, so I could get an Idea of what I was needing to do to get it to fit.

Here is a few pics of the clearence. Its very tight, but I can fit a spanner inbetween it.

All in all, very happy. Doesnt need much, but it fits

Thats snug mate, very tight indeed......

Oh and forcefed engineering make a sidewinder manifold. Its t4 twin scroll mind..... Clicky - http://store.forcefedengineering.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=237

I hope your gonna take advantage of the twin scroll and not just stick the turbo on and undivided manifold

Looking good mate
Will you be adding any sort addition heat insulation either side of the bulkhead?
With the mapping, i assume it will be quite aggresive but will you have flat shifting mapped in or will you/ can you run an anti lag system?

 

[Dan1720v]

Engine control is still in the air. I'm in talks with a few companies regarding sponsorship omex being one of them. I would like anti-lag and flat shift to be a feature.

 

[Dan1720v]

There will be additional heat proofing yes.

 

[wild willy]

How is she progressing Dan.

 

[Dan1720v]

Haven't done anything these last few weekends, been packed out with private work/new gf. Picking up a new daily driver aswell so that's used up a bit of my funding. Just as I need some fun back in my life lol

 

[Dan1720v]

Here is my new daily, pick it up saturday Trailering it home as I needs a test, so it;; be intersting experience pulling a car trailer round the streets of bristol lol

 

[Dan1720v]

Well, Literally nothing has happened on this recently, been far too busy on over vehicles other than my own. Still need to get a cage, and sort a manifold really before I can progress any more. Budget of £400ish for a cage is pressing

 

[Murdered LCR]

Mines up on eBay again ..... Ending soon

 

[Dan1720v]

I had seen that, still outside my budget unfortunatly, onless your able to negotiate? As i'm up that way on saturday

'Daily' Update...

Well, had a few bits delivered:
New Renaultsport Mats

New switch panel

Then a new steering wheel and squib fitted today:

Which then enabled:

Cruise control

And a pair of new headlamp washers to replace this:

 

[majesty78]

Results were:
Std 224bhp/fly
P-torque 278.0/fly

Std 175bhp/wheels
P-Torque 242/wheels

Std 219lb/ft
P-torque 302lb/ft

So you never thought of how it can be that you have HIGHER drivetrain/friction losses with OEM ECU than with tuned ECU?

STD 224hp/fly vs 175hp/wheels = 49hp drivetrain losses
MOD 278hp/fly vs 242hp/wheels = 36hp drivetrain losses

 

[ibizacupra]

run in different gears perhaps?

 

[majesty78]

Why would you do that if you want an accurate before/after dyno comparison?

lol... who knows..

consistent gear used would be "normal" (for me anyhows)
