No worries mate

 

Back to the SC turbos then!

 

Hi,

agreed, turbo's and our syncro gear kit, we broke the gear casing on our dog box last outing, with time running out ( as usual) we had to fit one of our syncro kits to the drag car, not knowing what sort of power they can handle it was a bit of a gamble, luckily it worked, here it is in action with Mikeee trying his best to break it.

Bugger.

cheers

Just got a phone call from Richard Henrys and the car will be ready tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it mapped for Thursday/Friday and get my results up

 

Likewise!

 

 

Hi.

Does anyone know if these turbo's would be ok to run DV delete?

Thanks.

 

Hi,

the SC42 billet through to the SC54 Billet can all run dump valve free.

I run the SC54 Billet without a dump valve and get the waste-gate chatter which for me personally I prefer to the sometimes annoying dump valve noise, all down to personal preferences.

cheers

Hi Kev,


As you know i've been contemplating one of these gear kits for a long time.

The kit that Mikey is using, is that one of the Straight cut Syncro Albins kits?

I'm seriously interested in these but there's not enough info around (or I have missed it)for me to make an informed decision.

Pm if you wish.

Cheers

Daz

 

I run the rather more modest SC46 without a DV. Prefer the noise to a DV too. Also found the spool (using the bum dyno lol) between gearchanges better previously, although haven't done a comparison with the SC turbo

Hi,

it is the Albins syncro kit, they are all helical as we have found them to be stronger, 3 teeth in mesh at all times.

If you are wondering why as a helical kit its so noisy, its because we are running solid billet alloy engine and gearbox mounts so all the noise comes into the cab.

We have just taken stock of some nice engine and gearbox mounts that are pretty solid yet only transfer 50% of the engine and gearbox noise into the chassis, these are pretty good and well priced at £199.99 + vat for a set.





cheers
Kev

 

Those mounts look like the Cusco Engine & Tranny mounts?

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Hi,

they probably come out of the same factory but these are branded Tomioka racing, which we are a distributor for.

Nice range of stuff to be fair.

cheers
Kev

 

Never heard of Tomioka, but then again im in the States.

However I have the Cusco versions and they are very nice. A little bit of added vibrations and noise, but keeps everything nice and tight

 

Hi,

couldn't put it better myself, "a little bit of added vibration and noise, but keeps everything tight", certainly does.

cheers
Kev

 

Why not sc36 without dv? Always thought the td series turbos were good for that sort of thing ?

 

The shaft is to small on the sc36 mate

 

Pants- that was my of my grand plan! I dont even like my recic valve, as sound like an atmos one due to the recirc into the intake, which has an aftermarket filter on it.

Now isnt a good time to ask about anti slag on the SC36 then

 

Billet SC42 twin scroll fitted and will be collecting my car tomorrow. And she is booked in on Monday for a mapping session.

 

What effect does it have on the turbo to cancel the DV? shorter lifespan?

 

Immy,
You still on the OE MY08 airbox and inlet pipework?

 

I will be it's got a shi\ty HKS mushroom induction kit ,but as you have stated in your thread the OEM airbox is more than good enough for 400bhp. So it will be going back on
As for the inlet it comes with the bigger red STI inlet hose.

Will get some pics of the setup for you Shaun

Immy

 

Look forward to the results of the mapping session immy,will be interesting to see how the SC42 twinscroll performs compared to its single scroll brother.

 

My sc46 twinscroll is fitted and the running-in miles are about done on the engine. I just need to get a mapping session arranged with API.

 

I'm not sure that's strictly true for the MY08 set-up (the MY03-MY07 has a different inlet tract). I believe there is more of a restriction with the MY08> set-up for the 2ltrs and I was already hitting the airflow limit at 405bhp, even with the (in theory) "better" MY03-MY07 set-up.

Get your wallet out.

 

 

Hi,

another twin scroll Billet is to be tested tomorrow, its the all new SC36 Billet twin scroll.

Its the baby of the twin scroll range, lets see what it does, good or bad.

Will keep you updated.

cheers
kev

 

My 46 should be all mapped up tomorrow too .... cant wait!

Fingers crossed, touching wood, and all that hoping nowt throws a fly in the ointment!

See you frst thing Kev!
