Hey, just recently got the turbo installed, its not running my biger turbo or 600cc injectors just yet, this is safer just for now, till i get used to it, and upgrade springs, shocks, clutch and brakes, its only just been finished yesterday.

oh and heres some pics :P

Congrats mate!!

niiiiiiiiiiiiice :D

mmmmm turbo. what size cooler did you use?

nice mate,

From selling all the parts to installing it.. Good turn around!

Looks good!

Now spray the cooler black so you dont get EPA'd every ten kms

Nice work mate...:D

What sort of power you getting at those front wheels..?

Good to see you kept it all..:P

Looks nice :).
I thought you were giving up on the project though?

yeh what happened to quitting, good to see you didnt though, so what kinda boost you running at considering you aint got the larger fuel injectors in etc???

also im tipping you installed it yourself or with the help from a few mates??
any info or tips you wanna share??

good work though mate top job :thumbsup:

yeah i did it all on my own, most of it was practically bolt on, and i got some help from mates aswell, especially when borrowing tools, well atm it runs about 10psi but i havnt installed my boost ctrlr so the boost tends to spike up to 15psi thats when the car starts pingin (detonation), im going to run some higher octane fuel to see what it does, but it needs a tune, its running on a basic map atm, so its not taking full advantage of the engine mods, such as the stage 2 turbo cam and stage 2 port and polish.

thats sick! well done and on doing it yourself, cnat wait to see some figures

Yet another photo with your car on an angle :)

Well done though. Interesting to see how she goes.

Very nice mate
but sometimes dont ya feel like u should have turbs a different car?
a magna is not a car that when it drives past people go...wow wonder what thats got under the bonnet!

im not havin a go thats just what went thru my head when i was thinkin of turboing my car
yes i do like it!

you shouldnt worry about what others think, its original, something new

I like it, looks tough

good work

Even more reason to do this to a magna so when they do realize what its got its even more of a shock. Not like pulling up to the lights and being around 15 vl turbos

What ECU does it run?

Atleast they're not all blurry and out of focus this time

That thing is awsome!! well done dude

i hope you take it easy until u get the boost controller and proper tune so you dont cause damage.
i'm very impressed and look forward to seeing the final results, those extra mods like the cam and head work should do some real justice

was only thinking when i got on "what happened to that turbo 4 banger with the awsome exhaust manifold?" i went looking and your thread was at the top of the page.

Good stuff!

since you did a lot of the work yourself how much did it cost to for the turbo install if you dont mind me asking.

What ECU does it run?

wolf 3d V3 ecu

The mods and the setup i have atm dont go well together, because the cam makes the best power at about 3300Rpm and up, and the injectors i have in atm are only good for round 4000rpm and just after 4000rpm the turbo is out of puff...then when it hits 10psi i have to back the trottle of a little just so it stays at 10psi, otherwise it shoots up more boost, so atm its not really fun to drive, ive had quite a few cars try to have a go and its really hard to just sit there and not plant my foot, but hopefully the other turbo i have and the 600cc injectors going in + boost controller and a good tune, should be good to drive, ill try and get a sound file of the exhaust cause it sounds really good, ive only heard it at idle and it shure dont have the bad 4Pot accent.

Nice to see that you ended up doing it :thumbsup:. Need pics of the engine bay and sound. I wanna see those extractors :drool:.

VIP bought my TR Turbo KIT and is using the computer, piping, cooler, exhuast, turbo, manifold and the injectors I used but they are maxing out. He has optimised his fuel system with a bigger fuel pump, FPR and has a nice set of injectors which hopefully should keep RPM power near 5500rpm opposed to making it all between 2200-4300.
Mine made 171fwhp with the wastegate set a 10psi but blew out because of the wastegate size. When the bigger turbo is installed and tuned correctly with his other supporting mods of lower compression, double valve springs, cam and the engine recondition anything from 190fwhp-230fwhp should be achievable with a nice RPM band.

The gearbox will need to be watched because they fail around 200HP and a new clutch will be needed trying for a heavy duty style with bigger clamping pressure and trying to aviod a button system because it will sh*t the driveline.

The Wolf Map has being tuned to suit my engine being stock with VIP's cam and lower compression it has put it out of whack so when retuned and perfected it will operate better.

From a 2.6 Astron producing around 95fwhp to near 180 is excellent gains with most turbo KITS/Conversions saying 40% increase is good.

Will persistance and money I think around 250fwhp should be achievable.

Looking really good there buddy, get it tuned and put it on a dyno so we can see some output of powah!!!

Nice Marco! We'll have to catch up so you can show me.
