Hi martin,
The gt2860rs only comes with one flange size and I have the 0.64 housing.

Me too and it's just had a fresh rebuild @ CR Turbos
Good choice matey, What power are you running?
Cant Gaz, on holiday! Want to get up soon though.
You going on track?
172 cup, Impreza P1
Both cam pulleys now sorted and fitted to the engine. Should give +/- 8deg of timing so we'll have a play and see what works best with the setup. The exhaust pulley needed modified slightly and uses shorter headed cap screws to clear the cover but all fits now with a couple of mm spare. Need to get it times up this weekend and build the engine up complete.
I'm getting all the subframe parts and cage back from the powder coaters in hopefully a lovely shade of orange so these can be fitted back onto the car and then it just leaves the fabrication of the inlet manifold and mapping with a couple of other bits and pieces.

I like that a lot

Cheers! :approve:
Some man Stuart, speak to you soon!
Cheers mate. This will be up at KH this year, hopefully!

Got the engine all timed up and also got the alternator setup, clutch and box all fitted so basically, to complete the engine I need the inlet manifold welded up (want to size it in the bay to make sure everything is where it should be) and drill and tap some holes for gauge and a coolant sensors.

Got the powder coated parts back a couple of weeks ago including the cage and front subframe. The subframe was fitted after getting built back up with the wishbones, ARB and I must say, I like the look of it on.

Cage still wrapped up to keep it good. It will be fitted after the interior is sprayed with some rattle can mondial blue.

Looks top mate. I think I spotted a rusty bolt
There are many but as I am not gay, I can live with it.
Will do mate. Just never know when I am going to be working on it.
Very nice mate.

Not had much time at all lately to push the build on but have managed to get the engine in which has allowed me to see the down pipe hit the steering rack so that needed a rethink. There is not much room to clear the oil drain and also miss the steering rack but managed to clear both and end up meeting the decat flange which was an added bonus!
I have also managed to get all the parts made for the inlet manifold. I taped it all together to ensure it fitted and also to help my welder know where everything goes. The only issue with fitting was at the narrower end or the plenum, it fowled on the alternator bracket so I had to make some space for that. Hopefully you get the idea. Getting picked up today so should be back by the end of the week. Just need to complete the fuel rail and another few bits and pieces then finish building up the rest of the engine bay.
Still need to do loads of interior jobs though so the list is still long!

I love the time and thought that goes into this build, one of the best on here by far!

Cheers mate, very kind words! :approve:
Im running a gt2871 and have problems with the downpipe, mine was built on a t28 so im guessing the bigger turbo alters its position, you know the plans with mine
There definitely is no room for the down pipe to be anything other than perfect. I was playing with mm to get it just right so I'm going to get another pipe made up with a screamer pipe now you've got me in the mood for one.
As if I need any more ideas for this thing. but this has me very curious.

There would be that much screaming it would sound like an episode of Eastenders! Lol

Do you have an external wastegate?
172 cup, Impreza P1
No but we have ways.

So what's the benefit of a screamer on an internal wastegate setup?
172 cup, Impreza P1
Stops turbulent gases disrupting flow from the turbine same as an external wastegate. Also increases the ability to flow more exhaust gases at higher boost as wastegate gas is not going down the exhaust.
Sounds good too but wouldn't do it on a road car, too noisey!

Didnt realise it would be effective on an internal.
Would sound almost like a jet i should imagine. Fun to start off then rather annoying!

Surely that's just a branch from the exhaust and the same could be achieved with a bigger diameter exhaust? Would sound epic but would scream continually.
Any updates Steve?

Not looked at this for a bit so sorry for the late reply.
Been doing some odds and ends like the inlet manifold and front brakes. Got the inlet manifold all welded up but wasn't happy with it so had to do some chopping to modify it. Should be good once welded up second time round. Brakes are AP 4 pots that I'm modifying from lug mounts to radials and making up brackets for.
Been neglecting the Clio as I was working on the P1 when the weather permitted but want the Clio ready for the start of this years trackday season so have decided to pull the finger out and get it ready, hopefully!
Catch you soon mate.
