Upgrading my ST205 Options

[spewie]

Hey there everybody,

I have been a member for not too long of this forum and since I am working on quite some modifications to my car, I figured I would make a thread and show you guys what the hell is up with my car.

Here is the list of mods that are going to be done to my car:

- Garret T-28 custom turbo kit
- 850cc injectors
- Fuel pump
- Custom made cat-replacing downpipe
- Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust
- AVC-R boostcontroller
- Rotora breaks front
- Tein suspension with EDFC
- C-One frontbumper
- C-One sideskirts
- C-One rear lip
- GT-FOUR lifter blocks for wing
- 5zigen Pro Racer GN+ 18" rims
- HKS turbo timer
- Apex'i Exhausht temp. gauge
- Apex'i Oil temp. gauge
- AEM Wideband O2 gauge
- AEM EMS ór Autronic EMS
- Shortshifter

Ofcourse we started with getting rid of the old turbo (that was the start of all this, cos i blew off the wastegate of my stock turbo, that used to run on 1.25bar, which was just a little too much i guess). After removing the old turbo and trying to fit the new turbo, it turned out my aussie downpipe could not be used anymore, so we had make a new one, custom. We also had to replace the intercooler connection piece to the turbo. After all this was done, we could put on the turbo.

We put heatwrap on the downpipe so the exhaust gasses stay as hot as possible for faster flow. Then we put on the downpipe:



And to measure exhaust temperature, we made a hole in the adapter plate between the exhaust manifold and the turbo, so the exhaust temp is measured at the very best spot, right out of the engine, but not cooled down yet by the turbo or actual exhaust. This will of course be connected to the Apex'i gauge inside the car later on.
