Where is the best place to get uprated engine internals from I don't want big power just want reliability and run a larger turbo but nothing 2 crazy

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Standard is the way forwards, can handle 180bhp no problem

[chris]

I didn't know that so wat would I have 2 uprate then and wat turbo would u recomend then my engine is standard I want 160 bhp at the wheels really

[olidaviesuk]

Standard T2, piper 270 running 14-17 psi with the carb rejetted PROPERLY, should see you nicely around this mate, don't really need to do the cam, but just makes a nice boost to the torque curve...

Oh and to be safe you'd probably better strap the inter cooler..

[BluntyR5GTT]

it wont see him at 160bhp atw more like 160 flywheel still makes for a nice responsive 5gtt but i wouldnt run anymore than 16psi on a t2 as anything after that they are out of there efficiency

ohh and yourself...well in...:laugh:, sorry oli, its been long enough...:wasntme:;)

So if I don't run a t2 wats the best turbo I will uprate intercooler do I have to run a group A carb then

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Search function on here is your best friend....

A T2/T25 hyrbid turbo, reject your carb (AFR Guage would be a great investment), 270/285 cam, strapped intercooler (dont need a bigger one really) will be perfect for 160bhp.... My old 5 was like this and that did 14.1 1/4mile at 99pmh trap suggesting 170-180bhp at the fly.

[chris]

My intercooler has like a couple of massive juiblee clips around it I am just Gunnar fit new sills this week then I want to start collecting engine bits fitting new clutch and flywheel

[andybond]

Not wanting to jump in on a thread here - but I might have a t2/25 hybrid turbo for sale at a decent price.. rebuilt less than a 1000mi ago by CR Turbos.

So if I don't run a t2 wats the best turbo I will uprate intercooler do I have to run a group A carb then

Best bet is got for a T2/T25, that'll work nice at those sort of pressures.

No avoid a grp A carb, rejet the standard one this will work much better but you'll need to use an AFR gauge to see how its fueling and then mod the carb accordingly

[chris]

ok thanks everyone for the help

Down at the bottom of this piece there is a brief tuning guide:

You can make 160 fairly easy, just get a t2/t25 hybrid and strap intercooler, adjust carb to suit boost.

take a look at my setup iv been running up until now

Rolling Roaded May at 17psi - 187.5BHP @6565RPM (104MPH) 163.1 lbft / 5291RPM

Unknown engine - standard cam, standard head, assume built to standard spec
relocated pipercross air filter
custom fmic and pipe run
cup mod
enlarged downpipe, scorpion system (2inch)
volvo valeo clutch
bosch uprated phase 1 fuel pump
Alloy carb top
braided turbo oil feed
t2/25 .47

Not a massive spec, but no cam change etc and some pretty good power on standard internalls

[chris]

What is a fmic and pipe work and what's the cup mod cos that's really good power

[J8TRO]

FMIC is a ****ing Massive Intercooler and obviously the pipework that takes it back to the carb and turbo.

The cup mod is when you get a paper (or polystyrene ) cup, poke some holes in it and use it to replace your air filter. Look on the articles, there is info about how to undertake this mod. ;)

As was just mentioned, I recommend you read through the articles section. http://www.rtoc.org/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=17

Start with the FAQ. http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=4762 The links are not working and photos are missing but it might help a bit to give some of the knowledge you're seeking.

LOL!

or normally known as front mount intercooler, or for your setup your after you could try a oe position intercooler but an alloy, bigger type

[The new Bill J]

Where's the oe intercooler positioned? At the front. So that makes it a front mounted intercooler ;)

I'd go with ****ing Massive InterCooler :D

[chris]

My 5 has just sucked a paper cup in the intake lol only jokin but found the articles really useful
