19T Fitted!!

[caseyt5]

Afternoon fellow Volvo owners.

My 19t arrived yesterday (hybrid) finally got it fitted and running properly today (return o ring split)

The first noticable thing is it holds boost higher in the rev range and running it at 13psi feels alot quicker then the 16t.

It is not as laggy as I was expecting from what people had said in the past about them, it spools later in the rev range but spools just as quick when changing gear higher in the RPM range.

I'm going to get it rolling roaded again in a few weeks to see the difference in the power and torque figures.

I was very iffy about having a 16 converted to a 19 but it works excellently, will see how the reliability holds out once it's been battered a bit :-)

Nice, you'll be getting more airflow from the turbo at 13 psi than you would from thel 16t so itll feel stronger.

So when you fitting nos? Lol.

nice ..........

Cool, was thinking of doing a 19t conversion myself, keep us updated. Get a remap next dude!

Not really that much a hybrid as the 19t has the same turbine as the others in the range, just the compressor wheel and housing are different.

Me and Rotch built one before its on oblarks car now and that put out good power

Back on the track to beat 14 secs now then

A standard 19t hast the same turbine as a 12t, it's the compressor size that's bigger.

19t did work well on my car mate should get some better results with it

Ffm got a 13.9 with a standard 19t so it's possible

what 19 conversion kit is everyone using? going to e doing it myself hopefully this week


cheers

[AndysR]

Good progress, be good to see the results of your work on the 1/4 to see what you've gained in performance

[theflyingbrick]

well you should be able to pull off a 13 something now if your previous times are anything to go by

apart from finding a genuine Volvo one, the only other supplier i know of is Kinugawa turbo's. If your trying to convert smaller than a 19t you'll have to get the chra machined by 2mm for the compressor wheel to fit

i couldn't get my hands on any genuine Volvo bits so i ordered the kinugawa kit and it arrived two days ago, a local engineering company is going to machine my 16t chra for around 20 ish quid if i take it in one night, hopefully will get it done in the next few days, was thinking of buying genuine mitsu bearings though

i've got a genuine wheel i've been trying to get rid of, but assumed you've gone for a billet one? (6+6 or 11blade)

[Wobbly Dave]

My PB with 19T was 13.96 using the ATM map.

[T5frankie]

probably find the car is slower now on the 1/4 mile lol

ahh a genuine one would have been nice, yea got a 6+6 billet one, i bought it all as a kit, i will get some pics of the turbo rebuild and kit when i do it
