View Full Version : Big turbo milege
There are a couple big turbo set ups on here and i was wondering whats the highest milege on uk bt's on std internals?
what milege has been covered on your bt set ups?
14,000 on IHI, 56,000 in total. Going in for a new water pump and cambelt today.
16000 miles on IHI before exhaust valve expired.
13k in 6 months on IHI on standard internals (boom!!) 66k total, all either chipped k03s/e05
7k on IHI on uprated internals in 8 months (finally reliable fingers crossed)

ECS do a good metal impellar upgrade for the std plastic pump i believe. have you had any running issues ?
Good to see the milege racking up :) more milege i see other collect the happier i get, its sort of resuring ;)

What rpm was your car set up to 7500rpm?

Still debating steel pauter rods but im not sure what ill gain apart from the obvious (i'll be able to run higher torque etc...) i mean what actual road performance will be gained. 0-100 is my favorite figure to aim for. So on my return visit to Jabba's shall i keep standard rods or go to steel? My turbo is capable of 365bhp i'd like to think on std internals so the is it worth the extra monies to push 380bhp? 20bhp gain = 0-100mph differences of 0.2secs i'd image.

7600rpm and it went on the limiter taking pistons,3 more inlet valves,cylinder head,turbo...very expensive.

I've got big port head,s3 pistons,rods,inconnel valves and mine does 380bhp now done 9500miles on new engine and would like to think reliable.
It's 4 wheel drive but still did 0-100 in 9.43 in the wet...very wet

I think your car was there when i was getting mapped i saw a stripped out mk2 ihi converted golf with two bosot controllers (or what looked like) mounted on the dash.
how old was the original 1.8vt you had in there before it went pop (milege ?) and what engine code was it.

I am just changing the belt and pump as a precaution, also just waiting for Bills results, if they aint favourable i will go rods, s3 pistons, and valves for safety, and put a .20 housing on and leave it at that. No issues other than cracked downpipe.
I saw dans car and his crap results from Well Lane (graph) on the passenger footwell as i had a spy in through the window.

Why do you think it's at Jabba.
Did you see the big wheel spin on that graph tho?

No that will be James mk2.
APX 210 engine aprox 40000miles.

40,000 miles of IHI use? on std int. :drool:

No it was to hard to see well. Its in for a boost leak fault aint it, or is it in for mapping.
I knew the results were poor for a reason.

It's for final remap it's never been set around 3k because it suffered turbulance in front of the turbo.Only makes .7bar at 3k should be doing at least 1bar.
I would never put my car on at well lane again.
1st they couldn't tie the car down(hence massive wheelspin even with 3 people sat in the car)
2nd they said my clutch was dragging..they never even noticed that it has a dogbox.
3rd they only took it to 6k and this is where all my power is when it makes1.6bar.
When mine was on at Well lane in made 327bhp but was only revved to roughly 6k, and it had bods on the front and refused to grip for the first few attempts.
Its not the most IHI friendly environment

37K on IHI on my motor which has just been removed. Running fine still, but down on power and a bit tired me thinks.
Probably the hardest beaten IHI around, and has exposed more than a few things since its original build, to the benefit for every subsequent IHI customer.

when i was writing the post i thought you'd be the highest milege ;)
I dont see much of jabba's ex demo ibiza on here any more, last time i spoke to the owner the down pipe had cracked. I wonder how many miles that has clocked up? along with your beezer bill i'd image this has had a creative lifestyle :happy:

metal impellor pumps £35 in UK for your info.
recently fitted one to a local MKIV (step daughters)
