Get that bought and sorted for very little. I actually looks like Rodgers old kit.

I sincerely hope not, as far as I know it's still bolted firmly to my engine!

Right O

A big box arrived and was duly torn open:-


Many shiny things

A quick visual check of the turbo shows absolutely no play in the shaft or any unpleasant noises.  Oil and Water feeds seem ok (Run through with compressed air to check for leaks)


I'm not a fan of Dump/Blow off valves and prefer the sound of wastegate chatter so may well blank this off

Emanage blue is there complete with wiring harness and link cables also the Greddy boost sensor.

After reading up on the instructions
 m http://www.power-enterprise.co.jp/USA/c ... s/mrs.html m

It looks like I'm missing a few hoses & the fuel pressure regulator
I'm fairly confident in my abilities to pull this off but could do with some advice regarding the FPR. Would someone mind taking a look at the instructions and confirm that I could use this:-
 m http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111695651483 m
As a replacement for the Missing Kit part.

I am going to do some other upgrades to the kit, the main one being an oil cooler Kit with auxilary Oil pressure and temperature gauges and of course the obligatory Boost gauge.

Other considerations will be a charge cooler but it will mean butchering the supplied pipework.  In the meantime I have ordered a Intake air temp gauge in order to monitor temperatures

It turns out the cracks in the manifold are not too serious

I am sending the manifold to a fabricator friend of mine who will attempt a repair, or failing that will build a replacement manifold.  He will also add some bracing between the flanges to add a little more strength

No. I'm not even going to go down that route. But thanks  s:) :) s:)

I've been pretty firm on my thinking the past few days, which is a new record; 2zz, apexi, stg2 cams.

ANYWAY.
I'm really keen on seeing this kit on. It'll be the cheapest turbo build yet  s:) :) s:)

2zz with stage 2 cams is the way to go. I love mine!
2zz by Rogue. Se7en cams. BMC CDA. Competion clutches lightened flywheel, Megillian Racing Exhaust. TRD sportivo suspension and ARB\'s. TRD braces. TRD quick shift. TRD dash kit, Matts brace. Getting there but not sure when it will stop!

I've budgeted another 500 for miscellaneous parts and another 500 for mapping and dyno tuning.
Over the next few days I'll be giving the engine a full health check before I starting bolting stuff together.
I'm really not comfortable running no form of intake cooling, so will be adding water injection in the interim as I have the parts to hand

I could be interested dave what flange?
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The fpr is not needed especially if your getting a new map done. The fpr was designed into the system so the turbo kit run on stock injectors on a stock ecu, so nothing to worry about.

As for cooling leave it as it is and look for 170 - 180 bhp or chargecooler and look for 220bhp. Oil cooler not really needed but I would look into getting pipes for the water side of the turbo for extra cooling if not already there.

I agree with the above.

Isn't the water cooling handy to have anyway so that there's no need for cooling down the turbo after heavy use?

Fittings for watercooling are there, and having played with renault 5 GT Turbos in the past I would be wary of runing a turbo without watercooling

All turbos are watercooled these days although you still shouls switch the engine off straight after a good run out unless youve been taking it easy for a few miles.
