Phase 1 Black 306 DTurbo - Road Test! (GT2052S, 11mm, FMIC)

Fair man!

Should be a bit of a beast once it's all done, the last one went well enough on the T25 lol!

Indeed, this one should be good fun, taking advantage of that low-mid range fueling Darrens provided!

Looks like a good base and defo some great plans!

Fellow ph1 black dt owner

Heh, "black ph1 DT fwiends"!

About time you got yourself a proper car again, got rid of the fail punto already? Looks like good plans, how are you controlling the vnt?

Errr, no it's currently waiting for a set of wheels that will hold air..

Boost can, start my C++ programming job Monday so Aurdino could be on the cards in the future, but probably not. It seems like a ball ache for not a lot of gain?


Anyway, here's some of todays events:

Firstly tidied up my FMIC kit, cleaned all the silicones as best I could, then the pipework, then sprayed it all up black so it's a bit more stealthy:

Before:


After:



Digged out my AutoMeter boost gauge, thought it was a Stack one but my mistake. Doubt it'll ever be seeing 35 PSI on a VNT though..!



Then set about making some adapter plates up for the VNT:

Templates:




Exhaust mani almost done:



Turbo hotside almost done:



Unfortunately didn't have a hole saw man enough for the job so might have to take them into work to get done quickly.

The finished product (for now):



Went pretty well considering my first attempt at making adapter plates.

Still, need to do a few more bits to them but it's a good start.

That's all for today!
