Just coming to the closing stages of fitting a 2871R 0.64 with tubular manifold and external wastegate to a forum members car.The external gate fitting is awkward to say the least but on the up side because the turbo is a T3 fitment the mods normally needed for optimal exhaust fitment is minimised so that a small tweak to the OE flange and a 50mm extension to the length of the front pipe and that is it.I'd expect the performance to outspool the GT28RS 0.64 I have due to primary pipes being a smaller diameter and likewise with the T3 ext gate there should be little restriction in gas flows at high revs.At the minute the bloody oil feed bolt that has been supplied is wrong and has thrown a spanner in the works but hopefully if I can find out what the thread is I'll try and get one made pronto.Finally a thanks to Johns for some vital info on wastegate setup, and I'll take some pics in the morning to let peeps have a gander

Just been in jays car it feels mental when on boost and the higher the revs go the harder it pulls, I’m quite certain it will be a proper beast once mapped, and the external waste gate can only improve the horsepower a TOTBVI contender for sure <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> plus it sounds <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> like a rally car, I have never been in a car with a external gate fitted before but the noise is awesome might have to fit one to my evo.

Once Jay gets his remap done as part of this stage of tune it will improve hsi set up. From there he will have to go forged to maximise his set up to be a true TOTB contender.

He needs times to be a contenter, no good bigging it up without the times to go with it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What what will be the 1/4 mile time needed to qualify for TOTB6 Begbie?

Well if there is more than 5 people wanting in, quickest time gets you in.

Min entry time is 13.5 or quicker

People (guessing here) who will want in next year is:

Barbz
JohnS
Marvic
Flea
Nigel
Fergie
Markus

All of those cars are probably going to be running 12's at least so it's going to be difficult just to qualify.

Anyhow, you can still add me to that list! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

There will be more to that list!!!!
Can u only enter 5 people?

Ross

Yep, from what i hear, 2 more Flea spec'ed Coupe's roll out early 2007 and a 2.4L running GT35 hybrid with 44mm external waste gate. Looking like we'll seeing 11's next year.

Well its not all about power tho. Traction is a biggie aswell!!!

Ross

Fastest time wins basically.

I wonder who the GT35R is, hmmmmmmm <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Dunno but you'll be quicker waitin on the bus, than the spool up! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Ross

So that will be 2bar boost by 4000rpm then? Hardly laggy!

Knew someone would come out with that comment!!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Lets see what happens <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
