I just had a question, iv gone and bought a turbonetics t3/t4 E that has been recently rebuilt. and i just wondering what parts i might need to install this. im not too cluey on these things and am probably gonna get a mechanic to install it. but from what i know its a externally wastegated. do i need a new top mount manifodlw ith a wastegate and screamer pipe. or is this just a bolt on turbo?. pls help getting ths turbo delivered and it was a spur of the moment purchase

You will most likely need to run a spacer on the T3 flange to move the turbo away from fouling the manifold (but not too much to where it fouls against the strut tower).

The external wastegate situation will need to be addressed with either running an external wastegate or an internal wastegate adapter to the rear of the turbo.

Or you can go with a top mount manifold and save yourself the headache of modifying the factory piece.

Your new turbo probably doesn't have coolant lines so you'll need to block off the coolant passages from the block and intake manifold that originally flowed to the factory turbo.

Yeah i already feel the hole growing in the pocket. basically i saw this fc tuning video of a gtt 34 running 486horses and i was basically sold on this turbo.

so its kinda one of those turbos no many people have had to install and i want to go with different from the hks or the gt garrets.

i basically wanna make it easier for my mechanic in regards to supplying him all the parts.

The parts and install cost is going to be more than triple the cost of the turbo.

Might want to do a bit of research next time.

You can either high mount or mod stock manifold to keep it low as above a spacer will prob be needed. Studs and nuts will be needed as they will likely break when manifold is removed oh and yes it's a costly excersise if you don't do it yourself

That link had about 20 virus/Trojans in it!

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
