I'd be torn between the GT28R and the GT28RS 0.64AR. the R is better for earlier boost, the RS is quite laggy but epic
Isn't the kit they supply different now though?
When you look at some of the older conversions they don't look anything like mine does. The pipes are bigger, the intercooler looks bigger (though it might not be) and was cut into the bumper and I'm sure the manifolds are a different shape? That's only the visbile differences I've noticed, I don't know if there are any more out of sight.
ITB'd MK1
yeah they're different, not so different to make too much difference though
ITB'd MK1
The gt28r with the AR.60 comp rather than the .42 would be good
Intercooler is different and so is the pipework diameter also the injectors are different as the old kit came with 480 picos and the new kit 390 megane 225 injectors. Other than that the kit you have is the same.
The new kit is different as the manifold puts the turbo at a different orientation and as such needs a new down pipe. It also comes with a roller bearing turbo instead of the ball bearing unit we have.
:evil:
Yeah all you'd need is a custom tubular manifold and a big hole in the bonnet LOL
ITB'd MK1
same thing
terminology changed to be technically correct

compressor isn't the limiting factor, the exhaust side is
but what about upgrading other parts like brakes, suspension etc? i did ask earlier but no one commented. really interested to hear what you guys are doing about such things to ensure thats its not just fast, but also maintains the excellent handling that the 200 has. straight line speed is great for drag racing etc but in day to day driving there are bends.
please dont think i am digging or knocking it at all, im just interested to know the other upgrades you plan. i myself own a 200 with cup suspension and i just want to know options/ideas etc as i may look at such things in the future.
I will say though that driver tuition is a big step forward to learn how a car handles. i used to own a vx220 which i took to a stage 3 and it wasnt until i had tuition that tbh i really could drive the car to its full potential..........or at least my potential.

I know the turbo on their display engine at Autosport is different to mine. It's a little bit smaller for a start. However, that was demo'ing the LPT kit so I don't know if they're going to continue to supply the unit we have with the HPT kits.
Either way, once mine's running full boost I'm going to leave it alone power wise for a while. I might look at what can be done to get over 300bhp eventually but I want to concentrate on getting the handling sorted first.
Decent brakes, coilovers, lighter / better looking alloys, whiteline ARB and possibly an LSD are on the cards, along with some strippage. I plan to actually do a trackday or two this year. Haven't been to one since 2008!

But the hot side is a .64 so that should be fine
ITB'd MK1
think it's 0.48 actually
Nope, its deffo a .64 as I had it off when I rebuilt the engine to low comp.

ah right not bad. Still....that's just a ratio, the wheel and housing are small. Take a look at a T3 from a cossie for example, the exhaust housing is a lot less restrictive, but they're quite laggy
I actually had a cossie t3 in my hands last night, bizarly.
The info I got on the turbo was its a GT2560r (GT28R) with a modified T3 .42 comp housing.
Now obviously a stock GT28R should flow 300bhp how ever with the smaller comp housing I'm not so sure.
So do you think a .86 hot side would give better results?
