No worries mate :thumb:

Back to the SC turbos then! :D

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. :thumb:

Last vid he missed 4th. :cuckoo:

Bugger. :D

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! :D

:cool:

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. :thumb:

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. :thumb:

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. :D

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. :thumb:

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. :thumb:

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 :thumb:
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. ;)

:cool:

Hi,

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

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

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! :thumb:
