Impossible Performance. Any one had a BT conversion here from them?

[myk3]

im very interested in there kit and i am prob going to buy the parts from them to fit myself. i would just like some pics of the setup, esp the inlet to see how every thing bolts together.

any one here have one or know of any one?

thanks

mike

Use to be a 1.4 16v. Not anymore I'm afraid.
He had an engine conversion not so long ago. Now running a 1.5 17v. Bit nippier I heard.

What's a BT conversion.......is it a phone line, thick mode.

PS Will it fit a 1.5.

BIG TURBO!!!

Darrrrrr.

What pics do you want.

[Makefish]

Guys, he's asked a question which perhaps deserves less cryptic answers if you don't mind

Thread moved to a more apropriate forum.

[myk3]

sorry i forgot to mention any one here had a conversion like a gt28rs or 2871r on a 1.8T 20v?

[faboka vrs]

The answer is yes. Do a search for DaveU. Also PM Des. Although his is now a 1.5 I believe he knows someone who's fitted a big gt to a red vRS.

I thought you had an eliminator kit?

[myk3]

i do have the eliminator kit. not bad power spool wasnt the greatest.

i have an exhaust leak at the manifold to head, not sure if it is the manifold slightly cracked or what but i thought if im going to remove it all i might as well just fit a proper gt2871r kit. more power, quicker spool and a neater setup in all.

Now you have completely lost me.

Let me get this straight you have a gt28 eliminator kit fitted and you want to change the whole set up for a gt2871 set up, is it worth it. How much power are you getting now and when does the turbo come in. Have you got any pics of your setup as is.

Nothing wrong with IP's kit by the way, I have one fitted myself.

[EddyH]

Ah, ok. Well as said already you need to speak to DaveU and Delcac as they both have experience of IP's kits either themself or through a 'friend'.

I believe he has around 325bhp/310ftlbs, fully spooled by around 4krpm

What's so bad about that. He's not going to get a lot more unless he does the internals. Spool up won't be quicker with out equal length mani and or 2lt etc.

I agree. Seems a bit extreme changing the whole lot. Why not get a equal length mani for the eliminator kit (I know JBS do one and expect others do too). Also I think a proper custom map would improve things over the Revo BT software.

i have all internals done

1.9ltr
valves
head gas flowed
diff, clutch ect done.

full spool is around 4200 or so. makes around 320bhp, and just over 300lbsf

i currently have a exhaust leak at the mani to head and there could be a crack in the mani im not sure, but the reason i would prefer to upgrade is also because once i have got this atp manifold off, i never want to install it again, any one with experience with one will know what im talking about.

as i done the full wack and had all the engine done i want something that will spool just under 4k. make more power, in this case should be around extra 50bhp or there abouts. also in the future much easier to remove for what ever the reason might be at that time.

after i sell the milltek DP and the old kit TBH im not making that much damage to the wallet over the gain in power and other advantages like spool fitment etc.

i dont quite understand why every one is having a go at me.

look i got this on order now from mike and i just wanted a few pics of the setup to see how every thing is situated, how the vac lines dv and pcv valve (if you havnt got a catch can) is all bolted together.

i have a FMIC with piping that goes down by the battery and a cold side DV relocation kit, i would like to see and get an idea on what silicone shapes i will need to order from forge etc.

delcac what car and engine did you fit the turbo kit on? Was it your 1.5?

cheers

I don't think anyone was having a go just trying to get the full picture to give the best advice.

As you have all the internals I think a proper big turbo kit is the way to go. My GT30 spools under 4k so I'm sure you'll be happy with the spool from the GT28.

really full boost at under 4k?, a guy on vortex who went from a eliminator to a gt2871r on log mani told me that he was very happy and gained allot more power and torque with full spool at around 3700 or so.

i would hope for the same results which would give me fair bit more torque and power and quicker spool. the down side to the eliminators is the stock housing which affects the spool and performance, but a great idea from ATP on the other hand!

as i said before i am looking for a bit more power, quicker spool, and neater install for when i may have to remove things in the future. and once i sell the old parts i remove i havnt made that much a loss on the total price which is a very good one might i add!

eddyH, i looked in to the equal length mani and yes i could do with a custom map, but then that would cost near the same as what this whole kit is costing me.

so back on topic, delcac what engine did you install your kit for mate?
