[GCG Bolt on turbos]

I'm not a lawyer, and in fact was escorted from my law faculty for gross moral ineptitude (and poor personal hygiene), but I'm going to say that your chart does not meet the standard of proof required to backup your claims

[Question about Blitz Nur Spec R and other catback options :)]

Image how much complaining about lack of engine noise you might see on EV forums.

Borgwarner 6758 has the flow for 300wkw and spools about the same as a big VF. 

 

On the same engine? Sounds a bit like Unicorn poo to me.

[GCG Bolt on turbos]

I expect it would kick a VF turbo's ass in performance... spool a bit slower... get spanked by a full sized version.

 

A bit of extra lag just means you have to work a bit harder to get it up and going.

 

The stock intake is pretty restrictive too... and the tmic with a bigger turbo?

 

The Tomei bolt on was used with a fmic btw.

Hey guys,

 

Anyone on here have any real life experience with the stock location GCG GTX2867R or GTX3071R bolt on turbos?

 

I know there are a lot of variables but how responsive and roughly when do you see full boost with these?

 

I know there's a few going to say stock location is a waste of time but this is specifically for a project where we are keeping stock location turbo. But wanting more than what a VF can offer.

 

Be glad of any feedback.

 

I have not used one...  but a guy in Wellington was using a bolt on Tomei on his Type R and it made plenty of power... 280 kw at the wheels... he complained it was a bit laggy... not sure just how laggy it was and not sure on how big it was compared to a 3071 either.

Funky's was surely twisted wasn't it? Cos for a while he was running a good old GT3071R.

 

umm,  that's what I thought... can you provide sources Sam? @GC8E2DD

 

[Question about Blitz Nur Spec R and other catback options :)]

Was just joking actually... but a noisy exhaust just attracts attention... which personally I don't want. When I first got my current car it was tuned to fart pop and backfire whenever I was off the gas... it was a nightmare and I had to drive around with my hand covering my eyes in shame.

Wait so what was all that bable about exhaust valves? Never heard of anything like that which is why I thought you were just having a joke hehe.

 

Not joking... really worn out motors need back pressure to hold the exhaust valves in place. Surely you've seen people fishing exhaust valves out of the oil pan? Happens all the time.

Also yeah that was why I was asking I didn't want to get the blitz if it is obnoxiously loud and was wondering what other nice options there are.

 

in terms of "I don't mind it being loud for others" I mean I am not worried if other people find it loud because 99% of them will only hear it for a second. I just wanna make sure it is nice sounding in the cabin since I am living with it ALL the time.

 

Obnoxiousness is very subjective unfortunately... I know that very well indeed.

 No.

I'm trying not to ask stupid questions I thought the one above was a fine question>?

 

I find this bit interesting: "I don't mind it being loud for others but I don't want it to be extremely loud in the cabin..."

 

My opinion... loud exhaust are awesome in theory... but in practise not worth pissing everyone off.

[Question about Blitz Nur Spec R and other catback options :)]

With 200,000 km on the engine the reduction in back pressure will likely allow the exhaust valves to move side to side excessively eventually (almost instantly) falling into the engine and blocking the oil feed pipe causing low oil pressure which would eventually (instantly) destroy the engine completely.

Not unlike the exit then, what's the diff?

Well strictly speaking the exit (output) is the opposite to the input... no? The diff is in the middle.

Could you elaborate on where the entrance to the gearbox is? 

It's where the power goes in of course

[V11 No electrical whatsoever]

check the battery.

 

check all battery connections and alternator connections.

 

check all the fuses in the engine bay... in particular the 100 and 50 amp fuses. Check that the bolted in fuses are tightly bolted down.

 

check all  the plugs on the underside of the main fuse box in the engine bay.

 

 

[Is it bad to launch WRX every so often?]

4000 rpm clutch drop is more of a slight lurch... not a launch.

[Turboing a Non-Turbo]

I would swap the whole loom. Less work than pulling both looms apart to change a few engine related things IMO.

STi v5/6 heads maybe?

For the bugeyes and a lot of the old 5 speeds you do. Unless I am literally stopped or rolling at maybe 2-4km/h the gear will crunch and not go in very nicely at all. Even rev matching does not help. it is quite a common thing with early 2000 WRXs.

 

We are familiar with the issue... but you can generally just smash it in.

So I should not worry about any damage? Just don't like throught of doing things that are bad to an engine with over 200,000km ya know, especially since it has just been tuned :).

 

It's getting very hard to answer your questions of this nature seriously. (If you are not the guy that is always worried about everything breaking, then I apologise.)

 

No your engine is not going to be damaged from a couple of seconds of shuddering while slowly accelerating in bumper to bumper traffic.

Haha I am more curious what you should do in these situations as well? Like do you guys just toll in second and slip clutch or do you just stop and screw the people behind? Haha

 

leave it in second... slip clutch if you need to.

Also, manuals suck in traffic... maybe get an auto

[1st too fast, 2nd too slow? Lugging?]

It's dead. Buy a new one.

Actually... don't buy a new one, people like you don't deserve cars.

[Possible exhaust leak]

External wastegate? If so it might be a leak present only when the wastegate is open.

[Possible exhaust leak]

Whooshing noise is the intake... perfectly normal for any turbo.

[Do 'dry' non oiled pod filters exist?]

Pod filters and AFMs are not a good match imo... I went through several AFMs because of the pod filter... granted that sometimes it was because I over oiled them... other times because the weather shield was removed and any big splashes of water that hit the poddy would f*** them.

Plus the driveshaft and just slip the trans back half a foot and do it that way

 

I think he's just going to pull the motor and leave the gearbox in place in this case.

[V7 Sti Clutch options]

Usually would remove the axles.
