Right some of you at JAE might remember me saying I'd bought a new turbo instead of the GT15 which was off a diesel and was slightly wet with oil...
So what I've bought is a T25 go big or go home I guess!
So what I've bought is an upgraded pulsar turbo brand new never spooled from eBay for £75 bargain!
This one means there will be no silly drilling and tapping holes to relocate the GT15 waste gate as this one is completely rotatable to any configuration.
So today I decided to pull it apart to see that I could pull it apart haha!
Have some pictures because I guess I like you lovely people
Turbine wheel!
Compressed wheel.
It feels lighter than the GT15 even if the t25 is considerably larger in size.

Dude that's a precision peice of kit... Which is new... and ur taking it apart.. wtf. Please tell me that ur not rotating the shaft oil free as well. Also without sounding terrible t25 isn't all that big. Its probs a really good size for the micra. I shall be following you in to the realms of t25

Indeed it is
Well it was completely rotated the wrong way for the way I plan on making the manifold... so as least now it will just be a small adjustment rather than a huge one.
No I'm not rotating the shaft I'm simply rotating the core of the turbo so the oil lines are correct...
Need to find me a way of plumbing some nice coolant lines to it too.
It is pretty huge against millie mate me and chloe were under the bonnet and thinking DAMN we need to make room for this haha.

Ohhh I see. Good man. Yeah I suppose room wise its big ish. Yeah t25 is the next step for me. I will let you know how it boosts compared to the t2Indeed it is

Might be a bit late in the rev range you will pick up boost. But when you do it will hit hard . if my understanding is correct and I haven't forgotten the numbers

Before I rotated the oil lines were horizontal now lovely and vertical.
It's going to need a modified slam panel and I may have to use bonnet pins... much to my hate of them.
Sounds great mate!

Well the car isn't going to be used for track days I just want to be able to hold my own against other faster cars... get millie to pick up her skirt and run so to speak.
Ideally it's suited to a 1.6 engine.
But I thought the compression in my engine is already up due to the head skim and tbh she likes to rev hard now so I guess we will see... miles away from all that yet ill get it positioned and hopefully the rest shall fall into place.
It's quite a heavy turbo I'm more concerned about making the mani self supporting.

Ok call my stupid but... Where does your excess pressure go???you wont need to worry about it over-boosting tom
SirChris
Educated Bodger
Lol the turbo is designed to boost greater than what we would use tom
... Also its never going to reach full boost due to our engine not spinning it up enough to make much boost
OP
OP
MicraPRO
Part Of The Furniture
My understanding was that the wastegate regulated the pressure when your off boost? So with yours wired shut I'm guessing this stopped lag time?the most boost my TD05 could muster was half a bar iirc (@7k rpm) so i just wired the w/g shut

SirChris

Porn. When you dont want it... Give me a shout
SirChris

The excess boost will surge through the turbo BTW tom. But due to the larger nature of the turbo and the low boost produced. It won't be too critical.. If anything I would still vent it and do it properly. Saving the turbo and extending the life.With you now

wiring it shut stops any boost creep tom, because as you can see the actuator starts to move before the desired boost level is achieved (unless you have a sophisticated boost controller)

Get one
I can't believe how cheap I managed to pip it for all the others were sub £150 used. This is brand new... For half that.

I kind of want to extend its life lol ill still be venting it don't want to weld up a new one

Electronic Boost controllers are worth the money apparently. I will also be buying one of those. Stops creep. Allows venting. Also acts as a boost guagr.. Bam. 2 in 1I kind of want to extend its life lol ill still be venting it don't want to weld up a new one

Fcuk mcm. Just read reviews of current ones. Profec range is a good buy from what I have read. Might treat myself to the oled one. Do what's best for ur setup.I've had a look at these too

Haha lol.
Not heard of them... I'll have a look now
I'll speak to Ed and see what he suggests
Garrett
It would be interesting to measure the small and large diameters of both the turbine and compressor on that turbo to fully identify it, unless of course the ident tag it still attached to the CHRA.

Needed new brakes!
Eww...
So bought these
Saw some people have painted disks to stop rusting painted in graphite gray
Got Chloe to fit them practice makes perfect and all that
Fitted with new pads!
Shiny!!!
Back down
Then gave her a wash because she was well dirty
good day

I don't open the rad cap when hot frank I always let it cool...
