Turbo kit options and considerations

[Anonymous]

I do recomend the Link G4. They are very good ECU's. You'll want to keep the MAF though even if you are running off a MAP sensor as you'll want the map to take into account inlet charge temperature, which is being read by the MAF.

Another point, I'm still running the Stage 2 (FI) cams on a big bore and I have no idling problems, running on the G4. That said, it has only run properly on the Link since I took it to Redline. Thor had many attempts to get the car idling and running right. I dropped them because they couldn't deliver and certainly didn't give me the level of service I expected as a paying customer. I would give them my car, pre-booked, and it would take them up to two weeks sometimes before they would even put it on the dyno.

Nigel recommends a mapper who is good with the Links. He has a mobile rolling road and comes to you. I forget his name but I'm keen to give him a try next time I need a full map done.

so forgetting cams i should be ok when i sort the ecu. you will have to send me the guys number as personally i think i would prefere to see the car to be mapped as that way you can see what they have actually done. as when its behind closed doors you dont actually know what has been done. they might of just put some numbers in and said oh hell that will do as frankly they dont care. but please send me the number he might be getting some work his way   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

A couple of pics from Matt's turbo conversion, could not get a TTE mesh rear grille for the custom exhaust but Mat cut a hole in my pre facelift grille so I spent some time today with a dremel to tidy things up a bit as Matt had kindly left me a stainless steel surround for the exit pipe, thanks Matt.   s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:

I really like that Mike! Great job! Must invest in a dremel myself sometime!!

As for the install - Matt you should be very proud of your work! Looks great, almost stock, and very fine attention to detail!

Thanks Paul. Next time you can take it through the rev range, it really is awesome and sounds incredible, today is the first time i've give it some and it's an experience.

It looks good but I wounder if that exhaust may not go down well with mr plod or the MOT people, looks a bit high up?  I am not aware of any law for this but at the same time you never see a car with a high exhaust either?

Not much different from the MGF if you think about it, it's not unusual.

Older Elise and Zonda have exits at that height or higher too. I love the exit location.

You see plenty of motorbikes though ... ok not entirely the same thing.
Zonda
Lexus LFA
Elise S1 and early S2
Noble

Can't remember any more

Caparo T1 (although the highest point of the car is probably about 30" high.)

And what about those caterfield type cars that have the whole system running along side the car?

In other words unlikely to be a problem   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    s8) s8)  

I like the idea ... I persnallot would have preferred the different inserts ... but hey they darned expensive for what they are!   s:scared: :scared: s:scared:

I'll have a set of TTE inserts for sale when I eventually get around to fitting the JDL rear bumper I have sitting in the garage.

Stu ( Kanujunkie) had an exhaust outlet at that height some years ago on his C2 turbo'd roadster, though his exited, uniquely, to the nearside. That was one very quick car!

I'll take them off your hands when they become available.

They are the very ones I was telling you about Mike!  s:) s:)

Not sure of where to post this but received my dyno chart from Matt, attached  :-) :-) :-)

[muffdan]

Nice. You could add it to your garage and also post up in the sticky thread for forced induction performance gains at the top of the performance forum. I'd post a link for you but I'm on my mobile  s:) s:)
