-
Revo all the way! Getting the revo stage 3 live mapping..
-
Whats wrong with revo map??

I think the live mapping will be ok. I guess it is the flash maps, as with others, which are pretty tosh...
-
Is it just me or does the gt28rs seem a direct fit, I take this will will be because I have already done major adaptions for my ko4 before?
-
I presume you've got a manifold and down pipe sorted for the gt28?
-
You presume right chris..
ATP manifold and I have a 3" down pipe but mite still use my 2.5" I'm currently using also have Waldron pump and RC injectors.
Niiiiice

will the 2.5 not just restrict it :undecided:

But I can't go too much just now as I'm not fitting my forged bottom end,,,,

Might as well fit it though while you have it all off, surely it would save you doing a job twice almost?
-
No I need to take make sure it's got all the bits it's meant to have and I blew my ko4 up was hoping to save the Gt28 till next year but have to use it now..

Was it on a revo map?? :laugh:
Proper custom dyno mapping all the way
Revo are too much of a revenue prioritised company for my liking.
Care more about the money then customer satisfaction and care.
Much better with the smaller companies like r-tech, badger-5 etc who could I into competing with the big companies producing generic maps etc but chose not to as they prefer the customer satisfaction from custom mapping.
Just my 2pence :cool:
Anyway good luck with the turbo swap, just remember all new crush washers, oil & filter, prime the turbo with oil, gaskets and bolts etc
-
Turned the engine over with coil packs out for maybe 30 seconds left that for about a minute then started it with coil packs in... Still haven't revved it yet waiting till tomorow when I can check all pipes again ha
-
Also what oil would be best for the new bigger turbo? A thinner oil? Going to change it tomorow.
-
I would say thinner. I would use a 5 30 fully synth but probably won't make any difference!
-
Standard oil.. Quantum 10W/40
-
Thought the standard oil is 5-40 as I had 10-40 and the guys at rtec said it should be fully synthetic oil :undecided:
-
2.5" will be sufficient as it will handle the power right up untill the 430bhps :laugh:
-
2.5" exhaust starts to become a restriction around 340 bhp so I would go a bit bigger :cool:
-
I went for 3" all the way as want to see 400 next year.
