I would imagine you can use F4R bearings without any issue at all, the tab has little significance.

Cant wait for the 4:30am start *YAWN*

Cheers bud, can't wait, need to go over the car with a fine tooth combe tonight to make sure everything is tight, then touch wood this time tommorow it will be on the dyno makeing some boooooost :)

I have the JJC cooler kit (mocal), works well, although id just run the standard rubber pipes. Braided just chomps through everything it touches.

Re: mintys 172 turbo Still waiting for these vids! :P

Never though of that! valid point, i need to get some super duper glue later as the black silicon didnt hold the make shift neck on my air filter. so ill glue up the the hole later aswell :)

Had the same with mine, when i installed turbo i cranked for a good minute and nothing was coming out the oil drain. Fired it up while clenching my ass and hay presto it started draining out. Fire it up, it'll be fine ;)

Re: mintys 172 turbo Yeah Ktec recessed. Ive currently got a stealth system. I'd have probably kept it, but Ktec had problems last time getting the wideband up the tail pipe because its angle which will cause problems when mapping for turbo aswell. Unfortunately i have the silenced centre...

Re: mintys 172 turbo Vids tbh... Love that exhaust scotty2hotty, so much so ive booked in to have one at Ktec while im having the map done :)

8v isnt great but it should at least splutter at that voltage imo if its physically cranking, problem lies elsewhere.

CHip your turbo sticks out so far, its like it has a long neck, can't believe youve not had problems with it touching the bulkhead. Mines quite compact and its damned close!

Yeah nimbus is great stuff, love the fact you can cut it with kitchen sccisors :D Just watch out for the edges, they can be SHARP! Yeah the silicon didnt last long the filters pulled off, im going to try some strong adhesive tommorow as a last resort, f**king hate ruining brand new things. I...

Fitted ktec engine mounts :)

Ktec mounts fitted this evening, old ones were no doubt the originals and showing their age a bit. Car already has a polybushed dog bone. But i decided the OE mounts will soon wear out with the extra torque, aswell as putting strain on the downpipe from any extra movement. Uprated mounts was a...

Mid 13's and i will be happy.

Re: mintys 172 turbo I do like their Vbanded downpipe, cool stuff.

Everyday is a school day!

Re: mintys 172 turbo Their youtube videos suggest it is farmed out to EFI parts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuO1Fu5gP-M

Re: mintys 172 turbo Would have helped if i had read the whole of page 2 properly! What PSI is the turbo set to for their low boost conversion? Any vids? (please ;))

Re: mintys 172 turbo f**k sake and i thought i was going to be the only one with a turbo'd silver cup! damn you! Very nice ;) What engine management does it run? Figures did it make? What turbo, what boost level e.t.c? Thanks

Whats the bearing for though on the meganne? To support the loading on the gearbox input shaft?

Save yourself a whole load of hassle for the small amount of flow you will gain and buy bigger injectors??

Drove me insane so i removed them and refitted normal road pads. They rattle and knock horribly over the smallest surface imprefection and make the car sound like it was built out of lego. I plan to retrofit some springs to make them STFU.

Im in St Austell area

An engine calibration toi suit the turbo setup is mandatory you'd melt the engine pretty at full throttle without one. As above its booked at Ktec on 4th October. Turbocharger model numbers confuse the fook out of me, sooo many different variants. But i would take a stab at saying the T28 will...

Top PTFE gasket fitted today again with the idea being "every degree less, helps!", decided against the lower as i DIY matched my inlets when i had my engine in pieces and ended up porting too much and then had to port the head out to match and the lower gasket so don't want to ever touch those...

Holy s**t 151ft lb. I had an incling you'd post that graph (i do remember it for being the flattest torque cover ive seen a while back). That was a "healthy" one. Not seen another one get close to that.

Im looking forward to the day i see an RS2 that manages to break 150ft lbs on a stock engine. I think i'll be dead by the time that happens though.

THe C0171 PX filter was the 2nd filter of choice for my turbo setup, i only chose another as i wanted a cotton gauze filter. This filter is Jetex ER-7002, which would be a suitable alternative for your RS2 if you didnt want the PiperX. 70mm rubber neck, 100mm width, 202mm total length. £51 from...
