Interest in Bolt on Turbo kit?

[dpmcdonald]

The PerfExpert is probably as accurate as many of the Dynos out there, providing the weights, ratios, diameters etc. were entered properly - and they were. It's all based on very simple physics (F=MA, ) so not really rocket science by any stretch. The program uses the accelerometer in the smart phones, not GPS, so we are talking about very precise and rapid measurements. The Dyno shops don't want you to trust a $10 Ap, but that has nothing to do with reality.

Of course nothing beats a shop Dyno for tuning, but for simple torque measurements the Ap may even be more accurate than the average shop, since many don't calibrate as often as they should.

I meant no disrespect. And you may be 100% correct. I should to an A/B test when I get mine installed. What app did you use?

About how long did the install take and no need for tune because of the chip?

[dpmcdonald]

Is this RWHP or calculated flywheel hp? Thanks guys

Important to note that the numbers are most likely not that accurate. But great for comparison against the Subie though!

[MikeW]

Flywheel is correct

It says torque at flywheel

Well, I know some have waited a long time for this.

1991 318i M42
Boosted with Jake's Kit
9 psi
torque at the flywheel

Yep, will do. Makes it a bunch easier for me if I'm not making it :)

Will save the email. Don't have the money yet and have a long list of shit to do before building for turbo starts. Will likely be sometime early next year.

My turbo setup plans are: Early E36 M42, oversize lower compression pistons, stronger rods, most likely starting with a GT25 of some flavour, full bearing refresh, standalone probably Haltech. Shooting for 250+hp with a focus on response and fun.

cool cool, sounds like a good plan. A focus on fun is one of the best focuses.


Just let me know when you are ready.

Yes I can make one of my manifolds with that flange. Not an issue at all.

If you are interested in parts shoot me an email and I can give you some pricing depending on what you want.

Send to, jake@classicdaily.net

thanks

It's a T2 flange. Found this.



Should be the same flange as GT28, which will be good cause if I run out of power on the GT25 it's an easy step up.

[jakeb]

It's more the flange on the manifold that's the difficult bit, the i/c piping is pretty easily modified.
Also, RHD downpipe, have you made one for someone yet? Or would it just be easier to have one made here?

Would be easiest to have a downpipe made there.

What size flange is on the gt2554? If that's the main difference then I am sure I can make it.

[econti]

I will sell just parts of the kit. I really have no idea how another turbo would fit. I assume it would be pretty close. If you have dimensions and pictures of the gt2554 I can determine if it would fit.

A continuous line of drool has followed me around since this thread was posted. I'm going to need to sell a hell of a lot of tees to make this happen!

:)

I'm interested in piping for everything, injectors, oil feed/return. No chip or anything as I'm going standalone. Can you also make the manifold suit a GT2554? Or is that too difficult. Obviously would need adjustments to the price
