You get the clutch issue sorted yet dude, or any idea whats causing it?

It's not done any milage so still slippy clutch no doubt!

[procta]

loads of work gone into that! are you leaving the gauges on top of the dash?

Yup, that's the plan!

This has had S16 seats and a few other little bits fitted recently. Next up is the washer bottle and fatty boi FMIC.

can you not hide any of the wiring?

Don't really see the point, it's only a bit of fun / dieselturboracecaryo.

More hassle then it's worth.

Got the old bird MOT'd yesterday.

Currently running 25 PSI on the GT2052S and 11mm. Doesn't feel all that quick. Maybe that's just because I'm used to 270 bhp...  

Or it needs fettling, more likely this to be fair, haven't touched any boost/fuel settings yet...

But seriously. It feels slow...

As for the clutch, randomly it goes tight and then if you play with it, it will free up. Very strange... Was slipping all way to MOT then adjusted it there and seems fine now.

Are u still talking about a  clutch tight- then free up- and slipping sounds like you're watching a porno lol :-) good work thow wen u getting a video up

[adam b]

If its a self adjust cable it could be that. Dunno on these..

Lol!! When I've fiddled with it and got it running nicely!

Yeah, I'm stumped but it seems to work, so..

Probably wont feel that quick next to the Datsun, it is a petrol turbo.


I jump out of a NAD Berlingo or an 85ps Transit into mine, probably why it feels so fast.

Mmm, true that.

Still, I remember my 9mm + T25 being quite pokey...

This feels slower then what I remember..!

Also saying that, unless it pushs you into your chair aggresively then it isn't fast.   This doesn't do that at the moment..!

[silverzx]

Fish popped about yesterday for a looksie and agrees somethings not quite right.

My T25/9mm felt punchier then this shit.

Either a subtle boost leak somewhere (all pipes appear to be legit) or turbo's leaking.

Either way it's hitting 25~27 PSI on a GT2052S and Lobb 11mm and doesn't fill very quick at the mo.

[Ruan]

Bet you've burst a pipe or it's leaking if the boost levels are high but it still feels lethargic...

Turbo is managing to compensate for the air leak, mind, you'll be overspeeding the tits off of it! But when it tries to move loads of air at low RPM it just can't fill the pipework fast enough.

Can't imagine it being much else. Will replace the shitty rubber hose for hard pipe and try again!

It's 'lively'...just not 'that lively'

Drives nice for an old nail.

Sort the exhaust out then take a trip down over the Tamar to Diesel Tuning Terrority

I can't remember who it was, possibly Anton? But his dyno'd at around 150 odd HP IIRC on a 2052s.. so it's not going to feel THAT quick, especially if you're used to the 200 lol.

[bashbarnard]

I'm aiming for 170 bhp out of my 2.1 with this turbo. Gotta be doable.

---

Mist be a boost leak.

[silverzx]

Looks like the brand new GT2259V will have to go on sooner rather than later then..

150 bhp isn't worth my time.

[Anton]

Set up well it should be an easy 150-160bhp... Its not a big turbo.
Its seriously low spooling, I was hitting 25psi by just over 2k. Probably running out of puff by 4-4.5k though.
It never feels massively fast due to the monstrous wedge of torque you get low down. I was doing 30-70 in under 7 seconds.

That sounds what i want. I'm aiming for a fast daily driver. Sounds awesome. May have to couple with an 11mm though.

Would you consider selling the gt20 if you need more than 150bhp ? It would be ideal for me being bolt on

£250 and I'll take it off this week.

Sorry for the thread hijack but where do you get the vband from to connect to down pipe and what size? Mine measures across 9.2cm
