nowhere, i just thought about possible ways to do it, and i know about the stock 2jz-gte setup.
And i still maintain twin turbo's more hassle than its worth.

Don't worry about getting one for me Kev, I'll settle for an Exige

I see your exige and raise you a 4wd fto with the spare $40k spent on suspension and rubber
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 11:35 pm
Supplanter don't u mean the Exige S
Liquidity, why spend so much on a FTO when the 3200GT basically looks the same, just much faster heeheh
My Diners don't have a limit so i can get them all for you, but you guys have to sign a contract of 40% p.a interest, calculated daily
Bargain I say.
Start a list people, but at the garbo section or dannyboyau or Jeff going to kill me for way off the topic.

Ok back to turbos then. My main question really was that whether a low mount turbo was do-able using the 6A13TT. I've read somewhere that low mount turbo was tried on the 6A12 MIVEC but had problems with oil return and water ingestion. But the definite plus side if you were to overcome these problems would be a cooler system with the turbo also being cooled by air flowing under the chassis.
True/False?

Hi all.
Just a quick update, I may be selling my baby soon. I want it to go to good home the biggest problem is the legality.
At present 306kw atw is truely not legal, so if anyone is interested buying it nonregistered let me know. Otherwise I may have to swap turbos, and do a fair bit of work to get a safety certificate.
Any suggestions or offers?
Jeff

Hi good day everyone. I am a new member but not to ftos. I am also an owner of an fto with 6a13 engine conversion.
My set up initially was fairly basic just engine whats not with a huge intercooler i found the twin turbos gave tremendous low down but upstairs was nothing i tuned for an air fuel ratio of 11.8 with a piggy back evos and stis were nothing however because of a mishap where the blades of one of my turbos broke apart and pieces of the turbo went in between the valves i had to pull down.
This is where the real work began. Now to begin i knew i was not buying back twin turbos again so i was going single turbo however i wasn;t about the lag associated so what do u do. I overhauled engine in full. Fresh valves,pistons,rods,piston rings, all seals head gaskit everything. The block was bored and 0.5mm oversized pistons were installed. The manifold was built and compression was raised to produce even great hp and faster spool up time. Full 3 inch down pipe and exhaust and the turbo used is XS Power super T70. I have now water spray for intercooler, as well as water injection to cool intake charge and to prevent any detonation to go with that i am using ngk iridiums heat range 9s. I am using stage 4 clutch and pressure plate, factory lsd,solid front and rear mounts,full standalone and i have upgraded the injectors to 560cc howeverr because i am using the batch ignition system it will take a lot for me to max out those injectors.
The car i have not pushed it pass 8 psi as yet for i had no reason to its that aggressive.I have put down a 12.5 quarter on 8psi of boost.I raised the rpm to 8000rpm and i have tuned it up to that rpm. I am using an air fuel ratio of 11.4.
However what is the maxiumum boost the engine can take i want to push the limits now let me know urgently.

sounds interesting... where are you located? did you do the engine conversion yourself?mivec24 wrote:Hi good day everyone. I am a new member but not to ftos. I am also an owner of an fto with 6a13 engine conversion.

Yup did the engine conversion myself its not difficult i don;t know why men make it seem so hard.I took out that engine and put it back in 3 times. Project took me 3 days to do. I am using vr4 front disc and calipers. I am actually using stock radiator with two high flow fans that are always on my engine temps don;t move pass 75 degrees. I was using an aluminum radiator i can tell u waste of time. Aluminium radiators hold heat longer to me and my temps rise to like above 100 degrees now just don;t. My intake temps are as low as 23 degrees so i am happy.
I now have to now tune the car now again for the injectors i have now for i only now recently installed the standalone and the injector which will now be running batch injection. So i right now i am pig rich. So far i have a friend with a mivec colt rs turbo charged and another friend with a turbo charged 1900 peugeot the colt has put down 278hp to the wheels thats a 1600 colt and the peugeot is 270 to the wheels. I really am aiming to get 400hp thats my goal.
I am located in Barbados small island in the caribbean. My car has had in the 6a13 engine now for just over 3 years. Richard b and i correspond fairly often since at the time he did his i was gaining info from him and i can tell u guys get rid of the air flow meter its the biggest piece of garbage money can buy.

email them to me at jon241@optusnet.com.au and ill post them up for you!
if the conversion is easy as you say it is... i would love this conversion too... i got a couple of questions though
how did you fit the twin turbos in?
did the standard engine mounts fit?
what gearbox did you use?
did you use the 6a13 ecu?
