My Turbo Sportivo - Tsport

[xoom]

Hey Guys,

Long time reader of the forum .... in fact got my inspiration to buy my TSport or sportivo as they call it in australia from this forum ...... anyway guys ive made a whole heap of modifications to it over the last 2 and a half years so i thought i would post up where i am at.

Just putting in my updates to the car thus far

All out n apart

The box coming apart

The crank work

Some port work

Finally coming together

Finally in the car

[xoom]

Some of the parts that have gone in

[xoom]

What will drive this baby to some good power

And to support this baby we decide to implement this

the dump pipe and the manifold

[xoom]

the front mount intercooler and the car on the hoist

to try and keep the heat off the firewall and fluids

[xoom]

the finished product

[xoom]

the best way to control boost and get traction in 1st and 2nd gear 9psi to 17.5psi at the push of a button

thought i'd post up one of my tuning r&d sheets.

this run was done with the boost controller set to hold 15psi ......

this was the last stable run before the oil breather hose on the top of the head exploded and sent oil everywhere ..... hmmmm maybe oil catch cans arent just for ricers :unsure:

i had a run @ 16psi where it came up @ 205kw but as it was 1 run with no tweaking the whole rev range was all jittery and not as smooth as this ..... the car currently runs 17.5 psi on high boost so we "think" (no i dont have a sheet to prove it) that it would be flickering around the 220kw mark ...... the funny thing is that the car didnt react as bad as it did on 16psi which we couldnt work out but hey its running fine.

hopefully i get my fuel system sorted as well because the car is currently maxing out @ over 7700rpms @ 17.5psi plus becuz of the little oil hose incident the car isnt running the most efficient tune .... in fact its a little on the rich side .....

As you can see though unlike when it was n/a the car hold peak from about the 130km/h mark all the way through to redline ..... so roughly 7200 rpms to 8450rpms

oh and i have no idea what its making on low boost .... i can guess by using simple maths that it would be in the 165kw-175kw range but like i said i dont know

Look awesome mate!

Got some video of the monster?

Cool not running those big heavy 17" wheels! Keeping it cool, nice job!

[siu16]

Thats an awesome motor! Anychance you could give a written breakdown of parts you added to you motor? what exhaust have you fitted?

[nrgizerbunny]

screw me, my car doesn't even have 192bhp let alone 192kw!

looks the bomb.

[bigshark]

196.1 kw is roughly equal to 260 bhp!!

The crank was polished and balanced

I hope thats a good enough break down for u ;) .... and as stated above its a full custom exhaust

196.1 kw is roughly equal to 260 bhp!!

that figure of 196kw is at the wheels not @ the engine ..... at the engine / flywheel we think it would be making about 260kw so 350bhp :drool:

[xoom]

latest addition

[xoom]

latest update

well got the car re-tuned and a few issues fixed and she has come up an absolute beaut ..... 248.3KW at the wheels ..... An estimate that's 335KW at the engine or 450BHP .... not bad for a 1.8L

Short clip on the dyno - 1 min -

well managed to get it down in the 12.6 territory by the end of the night again on the last run but once again absolutely pathetic 60' times ..... 2.2 for this ..... funny i ran a 1.97 when i ran the 12.6 last time so if i can manage to get all the areas of running right (launch, gear changes etc) i might get my low 12 ...... lol .... traction was not my friend again tonight ..... i am getting better at warming those tyres though .... lol .... was just a damn cold nite.

anyway here are my video clips of 4 of my runs

12.638@116.10MPH -

12.665@117.88MPH -

12.876@117.89MPH -

- damn broken left lane timing display

13.001@116.32MPH -

- YAY Finally some smoke from the wheels lol ..... its only a little but it will do .... lol

[ballist1x]

yea thats a top spec glad its running well! im jealous! i alaways fancied the idea of turbo bolt ons etc, but would be worried every morning turning the key incase it didnt start or something!

[Norfolk n Chance]

I hate you

There's some serious work gone into that mate, well done!

[nightrax]

Indeed WOW !!!

I have though it would be great idea to bolt on a turbo and get some performance parts attached.

And the results from your car are amazing !!!!

Must be great fun hitting lift in it now :D
