biggest turbo you can use on hlm map?

[richyt5]

Runnin hlm map 16t blue injecters straight through exhaust no cat (very loud) k@n filter at the min ?

To be honest you will never get the best from hardware without supporting software. I wouldn't let the map limit your choice.

Does that mean i could bolt a 18t on her and away i go ?

[claymore]

I use a 18t with greens on a rica 304 and have also used the car on blues with a hlm map

[oblark]

I've run a 19T with whites and blues on a hlm map, both were over fueling to a point where it would fail the mot on emissions.

I now run a K24 with greens on a map that I've written.

[p fandango]

i've ran a 19t on a standard map, the injectors weren't happy but survived over a years use without going bang (back to a 15g for now tho)

What cars came with the 18t on them like? And what sort of price are they

[Shinsplintz 101]

I'm about to bolt on an 18t as a replacement for a worn 16t on a hlm map. I'm going to invest in a new bcs to be on the safe side as my only concern with the hlm map is its a bit full on, not very linear on the boost so I want to try & avoid bending a rod bit a boost surge as the original bcs is almost certainly past its best ( iirc I think they're a service item at 100k). Make sure the rest of your engine bay is sound as well - vac lines, ingintion system, pcv etc..before strapping on a bigger blower. Apologies if I'm teaching granny to suck eggs, I'm sure you already know most of the above, but better safe than sorry :)

As he ^^^^ says and not as I do, I run my 18t with a helper spring on the wastegate actuator and a bleed valve at 22psi :)

Im scared to put a mbc on mine as all my othere t5s ive had has had them on and they have all ended up ducked haha

[richyt5]

I wish some of you lads were a bit closer to me there isnt any1 with 850s round mine cheers for the info

[richyt5]

So what would i need to do if i got a 18t off a v70r is it as easy as just bolting it on ? Mine still has the straight flange

you need a phase 1 V70R as a donor, phase 2 18T's are angle flange.

If the car has M4.4 the 18T will be straight flange (turbo on the right). If the car has ME7 the 18T will be angle flange (turbo on the left)

[richyt5]

Can i not just get the down pipe aswell and bolt on mine so i have angled flange then?

yes can do - thats whats been done on mine, but you'd be better off getting a map to suit the bigger flow also unless you have some way of checking AFRs

I'm just down the road from you in Durham

Much roughly do them turbos go for as never seen any for sale
