The only difference I can see between my set up and others is the vgt turbo where with the vane fully open I get backpressure ratio of 1-1 where boost and back pressure are equal . I assume this is possible due to the massive turbine housing which is believed to be 25cm 3 or a/r of nearly 2.0 which is very unusual . It certainly feels like it wants to hold well over 2bar as it is rock solid up to

That turbo sounds awesome is it a standard part or from a tuning company?

The turbo is a he351 vgt holset normally fitted to dodge ram diesels . There are a few people in the us trying to come up with a useable solution to controlling the sliding vane but it's such a huge turbo its hard to find room to fit it in a normal front or rear drive car .

thats a 431ve which is a bit smaller than the 531 heres mine


heres the vane control set up with a pair of actuators ,the left is a vacuum actuator to pull the vane open under vac conditions for low egt etc and the right one is boost fed to push the vane open as boost rises


cosworth yb rod compared to the saab b204 rod

quite a bit heavier too


pretty strong either way round


i did step up to 870cc injectors and ran 2 bar but ran into a few issues with boost control so the motor is back out again

Holset vgt vs tdo4 19t



Although it has a variable vane there is a limit to how low it can spool purely down to the fact that it has journal bearings and the sheer size of it .

with regards to the scepticism of the deka 630cc injectors and their ability to support the bhp quoted, has anyone thought that the manufacturer may have aired on the side of caution with the 630 designation? maybe like the SAAB parts, they too are a bit over engineered or not got the added boy racer BS factor added (this air filter will give ya anova 50hp mister...)

if its making the power on a reputable dyno and the AFRs are sensible, it makes the power-end of.

decided to move up to 15" wheels to give room for brake upgrades if needed plus much greater tyre choice .

bit crowded round the turbo but i have a big heat shield to go on to keep the bulkhead from melting


tank back in and now i need to work out if there is anything to be gained by directing the hot air from the rad out of the wheel arches or up through some holes in the bonnet ,i had no issues running the twin bike engines with an uprated micra rad but i think there will be a lot n=more heat to deal with from the new set up .

a few niggles to deal with but the hardware seems to work ok . im seeing a few psi of boost from the turbo with no load on too which is a good sign
