the install went alright you need to trim the manifold heat shield, extend you cooler pipe make up and intake pipe and oil line is given and water lines blocked up and the dump pipe in regards to it buckling i put the extension inside the o ring and spot welded around it so was no buckling because its matches up perfect with the Oring on the turbo and dump it just doenst seal ive put sum exhuast sealant and a gasket and its worked fine. but the turbo itself is great a few minor things to modify but worth it rather than paying 4000 for a direct bolt

Here are the pics for you if you have any other specific photos of the install you want just ask

how the turbo fit in note the actuator realy close to the body so bracket had to be changed so it would come to the middle abit more also exxhust manifold heat shield trimmed

21052009003t.th.jpg

size of the turbo

30052009.th.jpg

custom cooler pipe 2inch to 2.5inch going from turbo to stock cooler pipe

30052009001.th.jpg

how the cooler pipe extension sat

31052009z.th.jpg

roughly how it would look like when put together prety well hidden

31052009004.th.jpg

intake pipe made up used a 90degree silicon elbow from the turbo then this 45 degree offcut clamped onto the elbow

can you spot the boost controoler LOL

how it looks in the end now

Edited by skline01999
errrrr its not 100% on the clamp. You can get stronger clamps but Its just made to hold, It can't seal up gaps.

Its when you weld the dump pipe into the O ring. They don't expand in the same sort of rate. So on the end the flat surface of the O ring becomes buckled under pressure as it cools down.

Normally to weld the O ring you need to divide it into small sections wait it cools down before moving on to next, Or machine the O ring flange flat before fitting it in the car.

i checked them both and they were 100% flat and true, we swap out the supplied clamps and the problem goes away.....

looks good man. do you have a pic with everything put back on (heat shield etc.)

does it look sorta stock?

I havnt put the turbo heat shielf bak on cause its kinda hard to fit it in theres not much room espiacly with the acutaor and all you would prob have to modify the origanal one cutting it down alot and bolting it to the exhust manifold heat shield but yeah apart from that looks stock espcially with stock airbox

nice pics, thanks for that!

do u have any of the dump pipe installed?!?

you should be able to get a v-clamp to suit from most turbo stores

just want to confirm the spec of turbo you used was it a TR43i with internal gate with 31mm hole? maybe hypergear can confirm?

Ill try get you a pic of the dump pipe installed but you basically get a 2.75inch Oring which you end up welding to your existing dumpipe then clamp it on. yeah its tr43I 500hp turbo IW and i think its 29mm

will be very interested to see well it holds/controls boost

plus how responsive and what power it makes, when u getting it tuned?

Well im losing my lincese in a few weeks so im gona save up do the injectors pump and afm then get remap ecu at dr drift and tuned. so ye a while

I managed to get my heat shield back on by bending it a little. I tried to take some pics but my camera is not playing nice at the moment.

Mine is going back to Status next week, getting the clutch and a new map done for my mammoth injectors so I will hopefully be pushing the high 200's then. I'll keep you all posted.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
