you should easy have it done for JapShow Finale.

cant wait to see it go on the strip with the new mods, could we have a baby monster. :)[/quote]

maybe :winky:

i thought the turbo would take a while to be shipped, turns out it was sent by airmail, and got here sooner than i thought :D
Mr Morse
I have the standard (non-hybrid) CT20 on the Tubby....nice turbo, spools up very quickly :D
aido
Blimey that's bonkers, the Starlet will be crazy with that much power in such a small car!

Can't wait to see it :D
Adie

DAZA_W

Ellz

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yjsi4t.jpg[/img]

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yjsi4w.jpg[/img]

comparing the new (right) to the old, the red is not blood, its coolant :winky:

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yjsigy.jpg[/img]

fitting together

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yjsig3.jpg[/img]

its in :D

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yjsig5.jpg[/img]

its a bit tight :o

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yjsig9.jpg[/img]

filter fitted

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yjsigh.jpg[/img]

well thats all i managed today, had a bit of a late start, and was knackered by the time it was dark
few runs and a few adjustments later
and.....it lives, :D

still quite a few more bits to go on, the oil cooler still hasnt arrived, hopefully it will give a bit more space, by relocating the oil filter to somwhere more assessible

:)
Adie
Looking good mate :D

Hi,

Your car really is shaping up Bazza,that 4 branch should help the New Turbo breathing a bit better.

What sort of Power/Torque are you looking for when all the work is done?

Chips.
Gord
Looking good bazza :D keep-up the good work :D
johnboy
looking good :D

[quote name='Ellz' post='381929' date='Sep 12 2006, 05:21 PM']Looking sweet barry, when will she be up and running ?[/quote]



she is !!



all but for a bit of fine tuning she is a goer

awaiting the oil cooler, then strip down again and fit

then re mapping



off on hols on thursday so give it a couple of weeks :D
shorty
Looking very nice Bazza but I think you will have some serious torque steer with all that going though the front wheels :P
Adie
Will we be seeing her again up Pod on the 8th? :winky:
Bazza
[quote name='Adie' post='381978' date='Sep 12 2006, 08:35 PM']Will we be seeing her again up Pod on the 8th? :winky:[/quote]

would like to say yes
but im not sure, there is running and there is running safely, getting the bit in the middle done might be tight to fit in before the 8th
but you never know :winky:
DAZA_W
nice project and must be fun this little car what boost you hoping for mate have you you upgraded the fueling side

running at 1 bar
yep fuelling, uprated(supra)fuel pump, sard rrfr, currently controlled by e-manage, 330 injectors available if needed !
Ellz
Barry is this what your aiming for

dunno how true the title is as i looks like the dodgest dyno ever
Bazza
a few developments

after seeing very high oil temperatures, is was necessary to get them cooler, the new turbo will help, but is was deemed necessary for a bit of cooling help

finally the oil cooler arrived
along with the filter relocator
and thermostatic divertor
a load of braided hose
and fittings
managed to find somewhere to put it all ! , its getting a bit tight in there now :o
after a lot of measuring, dismantling and cutting its in :D
have sore hands, that braided hose isnt very skin friendly :crybaby:

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yk278f.jpg[/img]
[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yk2785.jpg[/img]
divertor is located behind the chassis bar
[img]http://images.fotopic.net/yk2787.jpg[/img]

a little bit of tidying and tying up, and another job done
hopefully this will keep those oil temperatures down !


other developments
the turbo is having a new exhaust housing fabricated
this will allow the use of an external wastegate to allow more consistant boost levels
obviously nothings straight forward, in turn a new manifold is now being fabricated along with a new downpipe to accomodate the external wastegate :crybaby:

as they say, Rome wasnt built in a day :lol:

very nice barry wot oil cooler is it ????

Very nice barry, have u got a catch tank ???
tdiplc
Good work Barrie :D

The stainless over braiding is quite abrasive and can "saw" through things, so it would be worth while considering spiral wrap for the hoses to protect peripheral components.

PLEASE tell me you have connected the remote oil filter pipes correctly. We saw an engine seizure a couple of weeks ago due to a garage installing one of these incorrectly by not realising that there is a one way valve inside the filter.
Monster-Mat
hopefully the filter head had the flow markings on it

yep all flow and returns checked :D

will be double checked, then triple checked when the oil pressure meter is connected

the filter head, the divertor, the adaptor plate were all marked with arrows :)



the hoses will be secured and where necessary wrapped, youre not kidding about it being abrasive ! my hands are still sore :lol:

Ellz

Ill post some of doddys up as its pretty much done
Bazza
well the latest installments are now all fitted

easy peasy ............

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/ym1ubo.jpg[/img]
looking up

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/ym1ubr.jpg[/img]

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/ym1ubv.jpg[/img]

managed to fit it all in :o .........with a little bit of work ;)

had to:
cut and realign the exhaust to mate with the new downpipe, this involved welding ...something i had never done before !!, but hey ho never to old to learn :D
then do it all again as i didnt measure enough times
realign turbo oil feed
realign turbo water feeds
fit new radiator and fabricate a housing for the fan
fabricate a bracket for the downpipe brace
fabricate brackets for the new radiator
realign turbo water feeds after finding the wastegate brace needed their space
cut and reweld intercooler pipework to meet new turbo position
scratch my head trying to work out where the filter was going to end up(eventually deciding on a temporary position straight below the turbo (this however turned out not such a great decision)
fabricate internal wastegate clamp
heat wrap screamer pipe
watch heat wrap fall off !! :crybaby:

finally top up oil, fill up with anti freeze
and guess what it started first time :D

took it for a test drive (private road of course)
the power is fantastic, slightly more laggy but as soon as it hits boost its like a rocket
stops dead on 0.95 bar, no creep at all
all was going fine
until ...a smell of burning !
and a little bit of smoke !
opened the bonnet to find oil sprayed everywhere :crybaby:
suspect there is a leak through the oil cooler pipework as it seems to originate from the front, hard to know where exactly as everythings covered in oil
oil pressure remained ok throughout
air filter is now covered with oil !!!

oil to the left of the engine bay
[img]http://images.fotopic.net/ym1ubw.jpg[/img]

[img]http://images.fotopic.net/ym1u9y.jpg[/img]

oil covering drivers side wheel
[img]http://images.fotopic.net/ym1ubz.jpg[/img]
