Title: agu runnng gt28rs
Post by: gti_shaun on 28 December 2011, 14:10
Hi all i am saving up to do a gt28 conversion for my AGU, i just want to know the additional parts i will need. I have done a little research there is lots of info out there but im getting a little confused as there is to many injectors etc etc

Thought i would come on here as im gueesing there are many of you done a big turbo convereion before, would be brill  if part numbers or what car the parts are fromare progided where possible.

Heres what i think i know/need

Heres the kit i want, ive talked with the seller and he says its 100% gen garret as some say the are not gen on ebay

What injectors do you recomend, seen these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200690773784&category=61258&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200690773784&category=61258&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619)

4bar fuel pressure reg, dependant on what injectors?



What maf will i need? mk3 vr6 ?

I know i will need to make/source some pipes etc my self, i already have fmi

Those injectors should be fine but your better off speaking to who ever is going to map it for you becasuse on a agu the injectors have to scale properly with the size of the maf. So different tuners will prefer certian sized injectors because they find it easier to map using them some using 4bar fpr and some using the standard.

Will also need a 255lph fuel pump and at least a 2.5" full exhaust but prob better off with a 3". Forged conrods if you go over 300bhp

AGU stock injectors will max out around 236bhp, so you will need to uprate.
Pump will need upgrading to 225 or 255 spec
4FBR isn't a must, it will only allow you to squeeze out some more fuel from your injectors
3" MAF would be needed due to higher demand of air flow

Surely better off with the gt28rs if you can afford it, dont have the lag like from the t3 and make just as good power.

Was talking to one of usa boys running 28rs, 415cc inj, 4bar reg, 3" maf, d/p, 2.5" exh, with standard smic with vented arch with no internal work  making 306bhp.

generally with a agu you should be fine at the 300 bhp mark but do you want to spend that much money get it all up and running for it to throw a rod through the block cause it at its limits?

I know ive thought about this, we will see what funds are like when the parts are flowing in, cars garaged any off road atm anyway so i can play in my other toy  :evil: so no rush really.

Sweet,mines had loads of abuse at 225hp running 21psi peak and it seems to love it.ha i rebuilt the engine before i did my conversion, and change oil every month think that has a lot to do with it.
