NEW build

[d_dan]

Just finalising details on the ukftooc

should hopefully have some new stuff for the car by mid/ end of next month.

resulting in a TURBO gpx fto by the end of september.
pushing 275bhp @ .85 bar and up to 300bhp running at 1 bar(calling for new internals)

[steelroe]

Also need new brake upgrade. Some sort of traction control etc

[d_dan]

Going for a gto tt break conversion, and the kit comes with a map 2 ecu so comes with traction controle

[colm_mcm]

and the kit comes with a map 2 ecu so comes with traction control

does this work through the ABS?

[steelroe]

HAs all this kit been proven on the fto already or are you flyin blind

[d_dan]

no its been runnign and fitted to a fto he changed car and removed the kit but hasnt been bothered refit it and now new house forces sale

[colm_mcm]

I'd prefer to see it actually working on the car, but I suppose you can't be picky.

[d_dan]

you will soon enough

[colm_mcm]

How's the Celica supercharger project coming along?

[Masa]

I'd like to have the money and technical knowledge to run projects like you do

Trying to find o nthe net and read but my technical voc is limited ...
Still haven't fitted the new horns XD

If someone in Cork is doing mechanical stuff I can come and give a hand to learn

[d_dan]

celica project is comming on ok.... doing an inventory still on all the parts for the kit!

im writing off about 1/2 the piping and the intercooler.

also trying to hunt down a m8 who has the other SC to get off him. all the internals are ruined but the outside is grand... much the opposite of what i have one of the mounts are broke. can weld them but would be nice to have it fresh...

without the new housing the projects on hold....

so will be fobbing off celica parts trying to make some money back

[colm_mcm]

so no Supercharged VVTL-i? the roads of Offaly are a little safer!



for now!

I for one will give you a big bun (with a cherry on top) if you can get a GPX turbo successfully running (without blowing up) to 275bhp-300bhp.

Thats a project and a half Dan - good luck!

I'll throw in a couple of fairy cakes also. Kudos to you for taking the chance, its a reasonably difficult job considering the engine is already running high compression and space in the engine bay is at a premium. I'll be waiting with baited breacth for the outcome.

Suggest you also consider some form of traction \ launch control.

For anyone whos interested, theres a GPX turbo charging article in the downloads section.

Dan is that kit not for sale for a while I thought he bought it but never fitted.

[d_dan]

na he had it fitted, got rear ended and the car was written off he took the kit out to fit to his new fto but lost intrest

[d_dan]

FINALISED...
The turbo is now mine and ill be collecting it mid next month,

[Dave]

Just noticed this now!!

This is one serious job Dan, best of luck with it....

[d_dan]

thanks ill be looking to ger forged conrods and pistons asap the goal will to eventuallr run 1 bar

[Dave]

As the guys above were saying, apart from the fitting, once that's done and all is working well, traction will be the big issue!!

[d_dan]

one thing at a time....


anyone see "nice" wide arch kit for the fto?
16" wide wheels ir maybe 17's would be handy

[colm_mcm]

FTO wheels are fairly far in the arches as it is, just take your spacers off!

[d_dan]

they are off now.... but to put down the power ill need an even wider wheel

[colm_mcm]

have you had confirmation on what your increase in insurance will be, and whether they'll renew next year with the modifications?

[d_dan]

i can go through excess direct or take her off the road not pushed either way
