13kg Sh*t thats heavy! it doesnt feel that heavy when u take it off the car!
sorry to drag this thread on and on but the banjo bolt for the oil feed that i got with the turbo kit is too long... can anyone give me the size bolt i need as well as the restrictor hole size... it looks about 3mm atm but i remember reading that you need like 1.5 can anyone confirm?

Ditch the banjo bolt all togetter, I had so many porblems installing mine!!!!
You need a normal right angle scew bolt with the Gattet size thread with a 0.8mm resctictor pushed inside..
I've got a 1mm and I'm gottting a bit of oil in my intercooler piping still
cheers luke!
I'm running a 1mm restrictor same as Luke there, and I'm not getting any oil through so you should be fine (being a brand new turbo and all). Can't remember the place's name that we got ours from in Syd, luke could point you in the right direction (they're hard to find!) It was only like a buck.
If you want to try somewhere local give Jessy a call at MTQ Engine Systems a call in Acacia Ridge on 07 3723 4400, he's helped me out with Garrett spares and may well have restrictors.
haha yer thats where im going to go. thats where i got my turbo from lol top blokes hey!Quote:

So
1mm restrictor + -10 return :thumbsup:
Motorsports in Seven Hills is where Matty and I got our 1mm restrictors from
Hey just offtopic. I think you bought my brothers old. Is it brown/red metallic, with j's racing front lip, Ef frontend conversion, with b16a2 and hydro conversion. If it is, hows the car treating you.
I think you bought the car from the guy we sold it too, he lived in forest lake!
We regret selling the car, had big plans for it too!
Its good to see that its still around!:thumbsup:
Haha yep thats the one! lol please tell me you didnt get it to the condition it was when i bought it lol its been so much trouble! ive thought so many times about just buying a clean low kms ed6 and swapping it all over... but im yet to find a clean ed6 :pQuote:

at least ive learnt allot through things breaking :p
wouldnt suppose you remember how many kms were on the motor when you swapped it? compression is still good now so it cant have been that many.
*edit* it was auto too! you went hard out hey!
We bought the car already converted with the b16 and hydraulic conversion done already. The guy that originally owned it got the conversion done at Quantum Performance and cost him almost 4k.
We only put coilovers on it, EF front and J's racing lip on it. What problems did you run into.
How much did you end up paying for her, because we sold it to the guy for 4k
Not sure how many km's the motor has, but never had any problems with it. Do you still have the external pump setup (gravity feed)? Because that was one thing we were going to change!:thumbsup:

just heaps of little things hey like dodgy wiring and cv's and the alternator bracket bolt was like snapped off in the block lol and the paint job has all runs in it, leaking seals and broken alternator tensioner lots of annoying things! it was just a pretty messy/dirty car. still is but im getting there
just a thought bro...Quote:

btw if u still need that manual let me know.
hey guys, i have a little bit of experience with gt2871r's.
i feel from my experience that a gt2871r with t3 .63 ar housing that the turbo gets full boost of 20psi at about 4500rpm, the b16a feels eager to make boost, and on the hightway at 100km/h in 5th gear, full throttle will make boost, and make 10psi at about 120km/h, so overtaking in 5th is no problem. i feel it could make a fine track turbo. unless you need your power band below 4500?? with this set up the car made 240hp on 8psi
i have recently changed to a t3 .82 housing and screamer pipe, and with a little street tuning for fuel and unchanged ignition, the car trapped 124mph up from 120-122. but now the turbo is much less eager to make boost, and requires full throttle in first gear to make full boost. and full boost seems to come on about 1000rpm later which im not sure was worth the trade.
now i have a endyn ported blox manifold optimised for 5000-8000rpm (changed away from victor x which is optimised for 7000-10000rpm) and the car tuned by hi-power racing on there dyno. the car now makes 337whp and makes about 320whp for a few thousand rpm. where as before the new housing and manifold it made 315whp with the power not tapering yet, but much less area under the curve then the new set up.
im hoping to head out and improve on my untuned time of 11.6@123
the rest of my set up if you wanted to know for comparison
-hondata s300
-B16A2
-stock throttle body
-acura gsr cams
-stock porting
-~8.6:1 rollerwave pistons
-eagle rods
-competition clutch lightweight flywheel
-competition clutch stage 3 clutch, which is only rate at 80% more torque then standard(feels same as standard and doesnt slip under power)
-neukin ramhorn a/c manifold t3 flanged
-tial 44mm wastegate
-3in turbo back exhaust
-3in hi-flow carsound cat
-gt2871r with 4in t04e compressor housing, ATP .82 ar t3 v-band housing
-rc 750cc injectors, stock fuel rail and regulator
-pwr 500x300 intercooler
-stock sleves (posted)
I'm running about the same turbo config and I'm very happy with its results plus the turbo only cost me $950 brand new :thumbsup:Quote:

Though I'm think of building the block for higher boost
Why did you choose the heavier EK shell?
i wanted b16a engine in a light chassis. i couldnt find any eg's with b16a's when i was buying my car, so i got the ek vti-r which has the b16a2 standard. also i didnt need to upgrade brakes and stufflike that to get a mod plate like conversions have to, so that made it easier.
the only block strengthening i have done is posting and ive running been running 20psi for about 15 000 km so far, seems to be going fine. trouble is finding someone who can sleeve.
also my car is daily driver, so i've kept air con and power steering, which is good, but makes down pipe a bitch :(
i think my gt2871r is maxxed around my power level, might have a tiny bit more in it.
Thanks man but too late. all done pretty much. just need to put the engine back in... prob do that this week coz im going away thursday for a while. ran into a few obsticles but its gone pretty smoth so far. i would do a build thread but im too busy atm... ive been taking pictures so i might do it in a few weeks when im unemployed lol.Quote:

Theres a mini eboost which is just as good. I seen it on my tuners car just after i installed my Gizzmo. It looks just like the gizzmo but Turbosmart and appartly its just as good as the normal eboost.
plus its only 300-400 not 600-700
