    Think my limiter will be lifted to 7300-7400rpm when mapped :sunglasses::sunglasses:

    Will make some tracks easier, Spa is a problem as it was, had to change into 5th before the bottom of La Rouge as it was bouncing off of the limiter, then would have to change back to 4th for the hill, now should be good for 4th all the way.

    Will let you know as it looks like i will be going in November :laughing::laughing:

    The conrods are good for 9k, but i think its mainly down to breathing, fitting different cams would allow for a different duration and overlap, but that then moves the torque and power up the revs.

    Perhaps the design. The F4RT has its origins from the first F series engines in vehicles sold in 1983 which had to power sedans, hatches, people movers and commercial vehicles. The first F series engines where diesel so even the petrol versions had diesel architecture.

    The EJ20T didn’t need to power such a diverse range of vehicles but the EJ series was certainly good enough for light aircraft. I had a version 2 STi and a version 6 STi and remember revving those to 8,000. Good times!

    Thanks there mate, it drives pretty good at the moment, this car has never had a map, so i can't really see what it's like till then, pulls really well but not taken it over 4k rpm atm and trying to keep the boost down, but very pleased with it so far.

    Its like the short shift mod, for the mk3, Ktec want around £129, i bought a ball stud for £3 posted :laughing:

    I think they call it "value for money" hate wasting cash, its better spent on trackdays :laughing:

    I'm considering this turbo on my build!

    I notice Ktec do an adapter plate but I haven't really looked into it too deeply yet!

    Think there adaptor is for a single scroll turbo.

    I'll look into it in the next couple of weeks!

    I was just going to max out the 250 turbo I've got but it would seem a bit of a waste of an engine build, so I'm trying to weigh up options!

    Low down torque isn't really high on my agenda, I may even go all out with cams etc to push the power range even higher! But then costs are really out of control at that point :tearsofjoy:

    I have found a company that makes me a t4 twin scroll adapter for our engine. I am waiting for price and manufacture.

    Nice!

    Its really difficult to think of the best solution for what I'm looking for!

    Been reading big unos build and whilst he did face some issues with the rstuning kit, it does seem to work well!

    I know the guy that has it now, hes had some problems especially with the waste gate, it needs water to keep it cool but its so close to the exhaust pipe

    That's interesting and a bit of a shame really!

    Has he got a separate coolant set up for the waste gate?
