turbo

[Belly93]

can anyone tell me would this turbo be ok to fit to a standard cga3 without serious risk of engine damage? and as i first turbo as this will be my first time fitting one

yeah should be fine, iirc thats what Frank was using to start with

 

[Belly93]

so i should be good providing i replace my h/g cheers karl what manifold is best to use the glanza ones?

Aye, the little t15 kicks like a mule ! Not much topend tho

just to start with frank so i can get the idea of the conversion sorted and sort niggles out before big boost

No the Glanza ones are best for bigger tubbies, talk to frank about a mani

Sure the inlet port in the turbine closes down to about 12mm dia, so it spools from about 2 k, and 1st gear is like an on/off switch

 

[Belly93]

frank karl says your the man to talk to about which mani?

There are pics etc in my ghetto turbo blog on cisco,s belly

 

[Belly93]

got a link frank?

 

[frank]

got a link frank?

Copy/paste is a mission on this tablet mate, its in the technical forums (forced micra,s, page 1)

 

[Belly93]

cheers

 

[Belly93]

had a look did you use the 1.7 td mani? or was it a custom as i had a quick look at both threads and on the start of the first thread it doesnt say anything about the mani

 

[frank]

Its the k11 mani mate

 

[Belly93]

Ah i see lol if i got a turbo at some point could you make me up a mani nd Dow pipe?

 

[karlj]

I think Franks mani is just a cut and shut of the k11 mani and whichever mani the turbo came with

 

[Belly93]

So cut the turbo flange off the trubo and weld it to the k11 mani

 

[karlj]

Pretty much yeah

 

[Belly93]

Sweet cheers

Well im running a big T3 turbo which is about the size of the micra rocker cover and its been fine so far!

Do it matey... its awesome.

Thoughts on a pipe from turbo to TB with no intercooler? I'll get a pic of the setup I want! 2 secs!

This is the pic, it's on my phone!

This if I'm not mistaken is the HKS kit, I believe it ran 7psi with very few mods! This is the kit in question!

Pepper

Can you still get these kits?

 

[Low Rider]

Can you still get these kits?

HKS stopped production some years ago. The only way to get hold of one of the HKS based kits is 2nd hand.

For example, this Z10 one has been on Yahoo auctions Japan for oooooh at least 6 months, maybe longer......(note the absent HKS F-Con Mini)

http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b135317474

 

[K11SS]

What is the F-con? Piggy back or engine management?

I have a HKS manifold and planned to make my own kit to run 4psi with nistune!

I plan to do a turbo application for the sake of having it rather than for power figures, I just want it to work!

What are your opinions on this working well or badly? I know a FMIC will help but without, would it kill the car or just be a little more inefficient?

I never ran an intercooler pepper, and i definitely wont run one with the td05

how come frank?

 

[frank]

how come frank?

The td05 is huge mate, and probably only gets to half of its design speed on a 1.3 engine, so the compressor is creating less heat, the t15,s on the other hand were spinning like the clappers and needed intercooling tbh

i see so if i do go with a t15 be best to intercool

 

[frank]

I guess it would be ok at a quarter bar belly, but half a bar+ yeh

 

[Belly93]

how do you find out wat pressure is runnung? boost gauge?

Aye, dont rely on a balloon like i did

 

[Belly93]

balloon would you like to explain

 

[Dougyledds]

Aye, dont rely on a balloon like i did

Make sure its actually 1 psi and not 10 ay frank

 

[frank]

balloon would you like to explain

I thought you had read my ghetto turbo blog and seen the vids

 

[karlj]

I thought you had read my ghetto turbo blog

That was funny, balloon boost gauge

 

[Belly93]

I thought you had read my ghetto turbo blog

skim read was tired lol ill give it a good read frank

My oil burner spools to 17psi (about 1.1 bar) and has an intercooler and makes 85hp. The model with the same engine but no intercooler, makes 62hp so intercooler is a big deal at higher boosts like Frank said .

cheers guy doing lots of research before i buy anything

What can the 1300's run boost wise without pushing my luck on standard internals?

 

[Belly93]

i would like to know too and is it any different for the 1.4

 

[Eire]

i would like to know too and is it any different for the 1.4

I'm open to correction about this but the 1.4 would be less than the cg13de because of the thinner ringlands

paul (polly) has been running with stock internals for a while eh

i would like to know too and is it any different for the 1.4

the CGA pistons dont have the deep slit cut into the oil control ring groove, but the crown does,nt look very strong (thinner than CG)

so forged internals would be best?

 

[frank]

the stock crank and rods are forged anyway eh, but stronger pistons, yeh

 

[Eire]

I looked into this.... you would want VERY deep pockets to go this route!

[Rob]

What PSI is Polly running?

 

[Belly93]

so i would technically just need pistons?

Think id always heard 10psi, but apart from that never any pics etc to prove it was the engine reaching its limits and not a fueling etc error that caused the failure. Obviously that in itself is tricky.

Mines (CG13) stock internals and has been at 5 - 8psi for a bit now and i dont think its gotten any harm done to it.

 

[frank]

you could go for 2mm shorter H section rods like baguete, so that you can fit 2mm thicker crowned pistons
