Turbo - Supercharge - Na

[altezzawill]

is there a production altezza that comes standard with a turbo?

[Noel]

Have seen a few that come from Japan with Greddy turbo's already fitted ( 270bhp) , don't know if there are any factory fitted ones, think it was an aftermarket option because they are common enough, have seen 4 or 5 for sale on the Irish websites in the past......

[altezzawill]

only asking because i seen 1 advertised as toyota altezza turbo special edition! factory fitted turbo! is that just bull?

[Robin H]

nope they they do a 280T if I'm correct

Think monster Mat was looking to import one way back

[altezzawill]

kool think i'll DIY cause it will be much more fun

[Robin H]

so your going for a turbo then

[Tango]

money is not an issue really! i like the idea of supercharging but 300bhp is bout the upper limit of it and i wan maybe 350bhp! i know that turbo is the way for that type of power! i wana hear wat the people who have turbo'd an supercharged an NA tuned their cars an see wats good to do and whats not

Save the bother and buy one of these then..... :D

Audi RS3 out testing near the company's HQ in Ingolstadt, Germany. The RS3 will have a wider track, larger wheels and significantly sport-tuned suspension as the spy shot shows, though what's under the hood has yet to be revealed. It could be powered by a pumped up version of the R32's V6 making somewhere around 350 bhp, or the RS4's 420-bhp V8 could find its way beneath the bonnet. Either way, the A3's small size and big engine will make for one awesome Audi.

Thats fantastic!

I'm dismissing the idea of turbo charging my car after I sat in a 350 hp Trust turboed Altezza. The Blitz s/c is still faster

The lag was horrible. I put my foot on it and nothing! with the s/c, my car would be flying.

Your not the only person whos said this to me...

I bet you wish you kept the smaller pulley :winky:

[lexus boy]

[Mr Singh]

as i was saying before tne trust and Greddy manifold is not the best! its not equal lengths making to slower to boost bigger turbos

[Mr Singh]

Most of the Altezza Turbo kits have cast manifolds.

The only ones that don't are the HKS GT-RS, Power Enterprise and i believe the Amuse kit.

Here is what i call a proper Turbo manifold :D

Power Enterprise kit.. Only thing i don;t like the look of is the solid oil lines...

[Noel]

Nice..... :D

Does this mean there will be an Altezza Supercharger up for sale shortly...

[Adie]

Is that your kit then Am?

[Mr Singh]

Nope not mine.

[altezzawill]

that looks a pretty gud kit but i'll prob go hks

is that an oil line runnin so close to the manifold or is it a waste gate screamer?

[Robin H]

I'm looking into making my own turbo manifold some time next year

[altezzawill]

I'm looking into making my own turbo manifold some time next year

Why would you want to do that?

surely it would be much more costly than just buying the hks 1 which in my opinion is the best

[Robin H]

I work in a factory full of stainless steal :D ,

plus I all ready have the drawing for the manifold flange, which will cost about £20 to have cut out,

turbo flange is peace of pi$$ to make just, so it would be just buying the bends and cutting and welding together

ok thats class!

did u draw it on cad?

[Robin H]

yeah it's drawn in 3D

[altezzawill]

yeah it's drawn in 3D

have u got the pipes drawn in?

[Robin H]

no not yet

were gonna try and draw it all in 3D,

I can't use the cad package that we've got, but one of the other guys at work wants to give it ago, this will be the 1st time he's drawn in x,y and z plans with lots of bends at different angels so will be a bit of a head ache
