63 a/r definiely isn't too big for a 2 litre. But the performance depends greatly on the rest of the turbo: design of the turbine, size of turbine, comp, bearings etc. It also depends just as greatly on the engine - all 2 litre engines aren't created equal.

Same goes for turbos; all the major manufacturers have their own design wheels and parts, which gives them different performance. The worst combination I can think of would be a Garrett "st.1" turbine, 63 a/r housing, T4 comp of some sort - all chucked on a completely bog standard 16VT with it's log manifold. Don't anything to happen until 5000rpm.

On the other hand, a well spec'd turbo on a well spec'd 16VT with a tubular manifold and correctly sized exhaust system will make boost below 4000 rpm.

Nic, mine only took that look due to having 2 forged engine rebuilds

It's not my fault you bought a cheap shit manifold with runners they'd bent over there knees!!

All joking aside I have a manifold from same supplier!!
Scary!!

Nick

we need a high five smiley.



Nick... you may be beating begbie in the bedroom and the build thread but dude your taking your time!!!!!!!

in the time its taken you to do this..
Begbie has had a belt change
ive blown 2 engines up
Marios going bald
Proccy put more weight on

come on mate hurry up

Lol!!

Flea is testing new clutch this morn I believe & if all is well then tuning/mapping will follow shortly I think??!!

Nick

hmm... thats good news mate

so what we have learned is when you say ...



we need to plan for an update 2/3 weeks from that post

Which I said 13 days ago, so near enough 2 weeks

Team Flea was depleted last week otherwise it would have been done by now!!
You can't rush perfection you know!
All I will say is.....in the words of INRO, "Soon....very soon!"

Nick

You're right man. I'm very curious about your results man.
I'll keep watching this tread for sure!

I have a new T34 with a .63 A/R and stage 2 turbine and TO4E .50 a/r and 50 trim with supporting mods (500cc, 3inch downpipe, FMIC etc etc). But OEM internals but with all new crank and big end bearings with ARP2000 bolts for crank and big ends. And rebuild head with Spesso headgasket. I would be more than happy to see 300bhp. I Don't want more on standard pistons, big ends.

My car is ready next week. And the bill also....
So the dyno has to wait...

What other "big ends" are available then?

What do you mean? Don't watch my spelling to much.
My english isn't that good.

Do you mean witch brands are available?
Pauter, wossner and PPM are available off the shelf

So by "big ends" you meant "Rods"?
Big ends to us just means the bearing that sits in the big hole of the rod!!

Going for a cold shower after all this talk off, big ends, big holes & rods!!

My fault. I meant rods yeah.
Sometimes English is a little confusing to me.

I thought big end, and con rods are the same.

Hey Nick_d not to cold......

The 'big end' is just one end of the conrod, the crankshaft end of one.

Thanks man. Learned something about english today haha.

Well done turboman, i wish i knew some Dutch

Wanna have some lessons?? Special price for you!

Only a few people in the world speak Dutch. And almost half the world speaks Enlish

I wish my English was better

Hello Nick_d

I see when you rebuild the engine. Your crank has been balanced etc because off new pistons.

Now my car (16VT) is at the garage for rebuilding the head etc. So I thought lets replace the conrods and pistons too
at the same time now the head is off. And replacing al bearings bottom end, but with crank still in the block.

I asked the garage if that's possible to replace pistons and conrods with crank still in (and gearbox) and they said it could. But then they can't balance the crank though!

Is that a big problem? Is that really a no go then?
New forged items weigh 896 gram (1piston and 1 conrod incl.)
What's the weight of original??

Sorry don't mind. I'll know how it is going to be done more or less.

Crankshaft is going out for axial bearings (located on both ends of Crankshaft) and all other bearings. Don't now the name. And then crankshaft is going to be balanced too.

They din't say anything about it. So got a bit worried. But cantact them already.

I'm sorry....

I'll do you a 'swap' English from me, in return for Dutch from you?

Yeah that's okay if you want.

Send me pm in English and I'll translate for you to Dutch.

In my school period my English was better then my Dutch though

*UPDATE*

New clutch fitted and and tested upto 1.75 bar with no issues!
Was worried about lag now I've fitted larger .63 exhaust housing but
1 bar @ 3200 revs seems quite good to me??

Next week........ Mapping!! :woohoo:

^^^^^^LOL^^^^^^

Why's it ALWAYS you two biAtch's??? ;)

we just like picking on you!!!!!

dont worry, Begbie got a small amount of abuse..

but you..

Well, your worse than me..

you seem to have a longer "it will be done next week" than i do!!!

:D

infact... i think i just like annoying you :D

Very nice to hear.

*Keep us up to date*

If it wasn't us two, then no one would be talking to you

SOO TRUE... LOL
