I reckon that turbo is just about the perfect size for a 3L with improved VE. Should prove a good combo between spool and top end. Look forward to your results Richard.
Sorry I’ve forgotten, what intake are you going to be running? I’ll be VERY interested in your EGTs with your setup, particularly with a modded head, Dave’s headers and perhaps a stock intake.
My intake is mildly modified. It was opened up to match the ports on the modified 2.7 ltr head and then flow balanced with the head across all four cylinders. Then the intake was extrude honed and ceramic coated. That all happened two owners ago. The work on the head and intake I am told was done by Performance Developments (Neil Harvey.)

And here is another photo or two of the headers:

Maybe you can see the space a little better in these.

Looking good Richard. When do you plan to start? If you're running the Link and you'd like a really good startup map, let me know. I have one that will get you really close. Or I can modify one I have to match your setup really easily. Just let me know.

Derek,

This week will be tough. Work is busy and my 9 year old daughter is out of school for the summer, but camps don't start until next week. So I am hoping for start-up late next week. I have a file that Dave sent me. I modified it a little (my harness has a few sensors in different places, don't know why). I'll email you what Dave sent me, it has the same 83 lb /hr Siemens injectors that I have.

Yeah then definitely send me what you have. I can save you some serious time. What cam do you have?

Also for some reason the EGT probes on cylinders 2 and 3 aren't working. Got to sort that out too.

Bosch Motorsport P35-T. Dave McGrath recommended them and built the bracket to hold them.

Default hiccup in the project

Well, another minor setback. The CEP exhaust curves up by #2 and the coil connector there melted. Ordered a new connector today. Working on some heat shielding ideas. This happened when the car was idling with a 1000 F EGT. Maybe a cool-it header blanket and a metal shield.

In the mean time, does anyone have any experience with the knock settings on the G4 Extreme with a 951? Incredibly flexible, maybe too flexible to figure out without guidance.
