Those rolling roads scare me! :hide:
I always think they car is gonna drive off! I prefer the ones where the wheel sits in a rut between the two rollers! :D
Good results there bud! :)
Cupra_J_RS
26-04-2008, 23:09
How come you have no arch covers on the front Dan?
Never seen any rollers where there's just one main roller. The rollers where the car sits in the gap between two rollers are scary enough!!
DaNnY_LaD
27-04-2008, 13:08
There another roller on the rear which they can adjust via a button
No idea were the arch liner has gone...Was like that when i got it...
Was ace watching it on the rollers

Fair play for doing the wheels yourself too!

Who's doing the turbo work mate? CR turbos? Is the price for a refurbe aswell?
Yeah mate mark @ Cr turbos is doin it final price is 581.87 Inc vat...
He can make it a sub 300bhp hybrid for less than 450quid but i want the 300bhp mark...So hence the price :D

Pmsl lol plus my Postman is a Woman lol And pretty fit too :D
Just recieved a E-mail of mark and this is the spec of the Work on the turbo.
''Mark says'' I would plan to use the shaft, CHRA, and comp wheel from the Audi RS6 turbo, this gives us the largest combination of wheels in the K04 range, we then machine out your Turbine housing to make the shaft fit, we take the comp cover from a larger turbo eg Audi TT then weld the elbow from yours on to it so the actuator fits and to keep the turbo pipework fitting as original.
Hope this helps
Just Need to find decent Mapper Now :D

What is the max bhp that you gan run with a hybrid k03s and are there more benefits?

Nice from a small turbo like a k03s.
Nice from a small turbo like a k03s.
not a orginal ko3s is a ko3 hybrid.he has a ko3s on now and is taken a another ko3 turbo to build a ko3 hybrid turbo but he isent doing it yet.

Yes i got that form reading the topic but stil 300 bhp form a hybrid k03s is stil a lot. The outside of the turbo dosn't grow so it is still a small turbo.
280-290 is more realistic

Thats where your wrong, the CR turbos hybrid uses the outer casing from a k04 unit to enable it to run a bigger wheel (RS6) and other components that will allow it to flow more bhp.

Zo only the exhaust side remains the same. Then you could olso start with a stock k03?

Bit of an update..
Got the Cupra Mapped with a Custom Jabbasport map and it made 237bhp and kept on pulling...

soak them a couple of times for a few days with wd40. problem solved
Nice figure there of 237 !
Nice mate seen this car around before I got mine and loved it

personally I would not buy another GT2x :)
I would also advise you do some hybrid treatment to it....ATP's quality is not that great. I would suggest at least a 360 thrust bearing is fitted to prolong the life of the turbo
I have a bran new Mocal oil cooler sitting in my garage if you are interested in buying it?
best of luck with it and I look forward to seeing the results :D

I bought a brand new gt2x kit from a company in american through awesome gti, i fitted it after i rebuilt my engine. I ran the engine for a 1000miles without coming on boost before dropping the car off at awsome gti to get a custom map on. Then it all started, awesome couldnt get any boost and could figure out why, they swapped everything until they decided it must be there map so they sent it chip wizards for the map! Months later the guy from chip wizards said the fault lies with the TURBO! so awesome gti got the car back to replace the turbo. The company they got the turbo off didnt want to no at all so awesome gti got me a new ko3s hybrid frrom turbo dynamics, car went back to chip wizards and got a map! all this took around 6 months! Cant say its a good turbo and that company is rubbish! sorry for the long post just thought i tel my story about a gt2x turbo

well what was the fault then? what was diagnosed to determine it was an issue with the turbo
some what an empty statement or accusation I find to write off the turbo without a proper diagnosis from a turbo specialist to state what the exact fault was
was the actuator checked etc?
even with my issues (which were manifold related and CR turbo's fitting the incorrect actuator spring) but this was not a fault of the turbo itself at all. Rob and myself have not had any issues with this unit at all and so far, so good

The gt2x went to turbo dynamics to see if they could do anthing with it, i wasnt given the full information to the fault of the turbo but they did say it was the worst turbo they have ever seen with nothing inline and nothing they could do to repair it because it would never create boost! so i image they checked the actuator

03-12-2008, 21:39
Ive done loads of searchs on here and on Ed38 It seem its a very good turbo...Just the Build quality that lets the side down from what ive read up on..
But nothing Cr turbos Could'nt possible sort out i should imagen...
Any gain is a bonus to me and it seem a fair few people have made really good power from them and ran high boost and never had a problem with it..Some up to 2 years hard play...
Im very happy with what ive bought and beattie I love you :D :D

then all I would say is, it was a one off, as with it going to CR turbo's, both Robs and mine, they seemed to think it was ok, and carried out the hybrid treatment
All the other GT2x kits there have been and that I have read about, there has been no real complaints (as far as I am aware:))

poor show not accepting it back, even if it was proven by turbo dynamics (what ever the fault was) that there was a fault with the unit
was it bought from ATP directly or through a 3rd party? shame you had a faulty unit, as it ruined your perception of the turbo. By all means I am not shouting from the roof tops about the unit, but it does the job well enough....for now;)

bought it through awsome gti who then bought it from them.
Just thought danny when i fitted mine the tip wouldnt clear the gear linkage so i had to mod the linkage bracket to move it over? how did beetie set his up?

With the 2.5 atp tip he use's with the usal silicone bend and theres loads of room near the linkage..
most people use that 3'' inlet think from atp...and some use a forge one..
i got everything of beattie bar the map for it to bolt straight on...i could use my Jabba map for the time being just that i won't kill it ...Will be hard tho..

Right Im going to get it refurbed and a 360 degree thrust bearing....It should be here tomorrow...
Ive done some searching and read the full jamies gt2x thread and ive desided not to get a 1.5mm Oil pinion on the turbo to reduce the oil pressure...
ive also buying jamies Mocal 13 row oil cooler & a Oil catch tank aswell..So that should be here soon..
My Spec on the ibiza will be engine wise:
Atp Elimantor Gt2x Turbo
Atp Manifold
Atp 2.5 Turbo intake pipe
Forge 007P resirc with yellow spring
3'' Downpipe and De-cat(heat Wrapped)
2.5 Milltek catback system
Jetex Air filter
13 Row Mocal Oil cooler
Oil catch tank
4 Bar Fpr
LCR/S3 Injectors
3'' maf
Helix Vr6 clutch and fiblanza Lightened G60 Flywheel
N112,n249 & Sai Resistor Removal
Fmic with uprated 63mm Pipe Work
Is there anything else I should Add or change while i am doing this?I see a few Gt2x owners have got rid of the N75 and Changed it to a MBC or EBC?Is it worth while me doing this?
As for the Guages i have a 30psi boost guage and a Oil Temp gauge and sender..Would you recommend me changing any of them?
My overall goal is to hit on or near the 280bhp & 300ft-lb mark any more would be a bonus really..But its not the figures That matter is how it puts the power down and how it drives...

spot on there mate
I have a Greddy EBC sitting in my garage which I will be fitting soon, depending on timing, I can sell you the MBC at a later date too
Bill himself was impressed by the MBC, as regardless to what anyone says, the MBC is a massive improvement over the N75. I have always found the N75 not liking high amounts of boost, it simply cannot control it (despite it only being a solenoid)

Yeah i am really looking forward to getting the turbo should be here tommorrow..
The only really thing that is worrying me a tad bit is my FMIC bigger Enough? Im getting really good temps with my k03s..
Ive uprated the full FMIC system with 63mm hoses and the forge map sensor housing?
Part of me wants to just get it on and fitted but part of me wants to give is a small does of treatment...I am really impatiant lol
Yeah jame How soon are you looking at getting rid of the Mbc if its in the next week or so il hold of and get the Cooler and MBC of u saves posting twice

I will have a look at it on sunday mate, but no guarantees:)
and I am exactly like you, once its there, I want it on and running, impatient:lol:
FMIC will be ok as the GT2X isnt THAT big. ( ask Jamie )
jamiebennett81
05-12-2008, 23:04
what FMIC do you have? THS or some kind of home made one ?
THS or home made will be enough for 300 and should cope fine with the gt2x......although be interesting to see some logs
if anything, mine is over kill with running the Pro Alloy kit
DaNnY_LaD
05-12-2008, 23:11
Yeah its the ths one but with uprated pipe work right the way through forge Map housing so its all 63mm...I was seeing after a good hard drive and logs seeing 22c...
it isnt a problem just didnt want to get it mapped and then he say we cant map it due the fmic
yeah ur Pro alloys is well over kill lol

yeah you see it was destiny that I go BT:D
perhaps again better spool times than mine then, with the standard compressor wheel and a smaller FMIC, therefore lese of a pressure drop

no, some cock decided to "make it more aggressive" - was a k03x type turbo, so removed the veins & bent them up some.
Pretty sure they made a nice gap round the edge too - for extra flow.

07-12-2008, 22:05
All fitted :D
And what a uber twat it was todo...Then again i said that about fitting the k03s....
Few little niggles that need sorting out and took it for a little spin and its defo strong and quick that my k03s is...only took it to 3krpm and it defo feels better..
Just gotta change a split coolant hose,solder the AIT sensor back in as i broke it and Just tighten up my turbo to manifold nuts as its slightly blowing...
When i was working and undoing a nut my spanner hit the alternator and sparked now ive got a Battery light on the dash would this be a fuse?
Also i got curzon to wire up my Oil temp gauge with sender so thats all working..Not bad for a days work really :D

lol, figures
ask for advice, and ignore it all.
I'm pretty sure my advice was 'little boost, restricted rpm'

thanks

Good stuff you dont hang about do you.
Consant battery light on the dash means your alternator isnt charging your battery
DaNnY_LaD
08-12-2008, 20:02
So does that mean ive blown up my alternator? Or has a fuse gone?
Done nearly everything tonight And Moved some stuff and tighten and re-checked everthing was right and double checked..:D
Only thing left todo now is just solder the AIT plug up as it has come off its wirers...Which im waiting for curzon to come down as he is good as stuff like that..
Just oil cooler and MBC to get and fit now Then it can go for a map...Its ''SLOWLY" Getting there...Put am pleased that ive done it all my self...
It is before Fiddly and time consuming but defo a good learning curve:D

09-12-2008, 18:21
Right my battery light is still on and tonight i was going to go out for abit in it...So just before i went out i was abit carfull as i felt something werent right so i started her up and then but heaters,radio,hids for around 5mins ticking over then the hids went out then the radio...
Ive checked all the fuses and there fine...so its either the battery or the alternator...What started it was when i was undoing the old OEM oil line and while the spanner was still on the metal nut it fit my alternator...and sparked...
The belts aint slipping either so is the alternator easy enough to fit?
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 18:25
Deffo a deat battery mate. Putting heater, HID's & radio on would of just drained the last of the life out of it.
ChrisCurzon
09-12-2008, 18:29
Is all the oil that you spilt fully dry on the alternator mate, cause it probably not charging the battery, and since your batterys almost half dead from that fire it aint gunna help.
Only way to find out is swop the battery, if it don't work then its the alternator
DaNnY_LaD
09-12-2008, 18:30
Yup damo thats why i did it...you defo sure its the battery not the alternator as when the spanner connected a huge spark came out of the battery or near it..
ChrisCurzon
09-12-2008, 18:40
Your battery lights on constantly though so the batterys gunna be dead cause the alternators not charging it mate!

Sorry Danny, thats what I was getting at ^^^^^^

09-12-2008, 20:52
So everyones money is on the battery not the alternator..?as a new battery is 50quid from halfords..Once its fitted should the Light go off?
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 20:54
No, I recon your alternator is goosed mate.
Have you tryed charging the battery?
DaNnY_LaD
09-12-2008, 20:59
So alternator then lol...Gonna look on the bay for one now..
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 21:02
Try chanrging the baattery mate. Leave it on over night then test it before pitting it back on the car, you should see about 14v.
If you do get 14v then its deffo the alternator.
DaNnY_LaD
09-12-2008, 21:08
how do i test it? What with? so charge it over nice then after its charges then what?
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 21:14
Test it with a multimeter mate. http://www.pass-services.co.uk/admin/uploads/products/179.jpg
Carge it over night, if you get 14v then the battery is not dead. It then means the alternator is dead as its not charging the battery.
DaNnY_LaD
09-12-2008, 21:28
The battery is off now and charge...Wasnt that dead goin buy the guage one the charger once its charged i just leave it then but that volt meter on it
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 21:31
Yep, just disconect everything from the battery and put the multimeter on DC volts stick it on the battery.
DaNnY_LaD
09-12-2008, 21:36
So once the bats done..
i just put the multimeter termanials on to the batter and it should read 14v...Its doesnt have to be on the car...Correct?
to get 14v, you need the engine running with battery connected...
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 21:37
Spot on mate.
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 21:38
Last time I tested my battery Mark, it was on the car but tha was not running and I got 14v.
DaNnY_LaD
09-12-2008, 21:41
orite...DUH..
So i connect it all up and start her up then test it with the engine running...i see now if it drops my alternator is goosed?
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 21:43
Even if its off the car mate you should still see about 12v. Its just to make sure its not dead realy.
DaNnY_LaD
09-12-2008, 21:47
aright so what ur sayin aslong as it holds a ''Decent Volt''..
My moneys on the alternator couldnt of been good for it earthing it with a spanner
Damoegan
09-12-2008, 21:50
Yea, just to check it can and does hold a charge.
Have a look on ebay for a alternator mate and maybe ask a local garage for someone local that can recon yours.
