Autospeed GT2860R (Garrett pn 707160-5) build on my '00 widebody S4. It's been 8 mo's

[davenew]

I bought this car last year with full intentions of doing something more than K04's on it. WMS's laser S4 project with ASP GT's is why I decided to go with the ASP kit. I took pics of everything so far and figured I'd post on here for you guys to see. After seeing all the build threads, it seems like GTs are the new K04s.:)

Due to tons of pics, please don't quote this entire post in your reply.

Here's the turbo data:

Thanks. It's been a long time coming. I can't wait to finally get it running I'll definitely post vids asap.

Whats your power goal? Or what will you be happy with? =)

[sy0296]

congrats!! can't wait to see the finished product.

[Yuppie]

As Always Dave Excited to see the finish product. You plan on coming to Richmond to run it on the tracks?

Yep, but I'll replace the front axles before I run at dinwiddie in the spring. Oh, and install EDL defeat switch.

[stamps]

where in VA are you?

while you were at it why didn't you get the exhaust mani's coated?

[blmlozz]

yo bro... when you find out I've stalked you and learned where you sleep you'll give me a ride right?...

kthxbie

I'm in suffolk btw..

[davenew]

They are coated. ASP has them done with a silver thermal coating.

Calico coatings in NC offers black and silver.

Edit: I'm in Norfolk.

kthxbie

Haha.. I wouldn't get too carried away with the stalking.:)


J/K, yea, no problem with getting a ride after I get it tuned.:)

[highPSI-S4]

Nice build. So VA is representing with 2 Imola widebodys.

[awd2ks4]

What's with the Sri coil packs those actually work

[RolledMySTi]

Great looking build. When do you plan to have her on the road? Did you go for 2.8 or 3.0?

[bryzf1]

Can't wait to see it up and running... Lets see some more pics of the car! I love me some widebody! :)

[Mattgfx]

wow how many miles are on the car now

[groovetek]

Haha.. I wouldn't get too carried away with the stalking.:)


J/K, yea, no problem with getting a ride after I get it tuned.:)

Damn americans lol.

Anyway, I'd also like to know if those sti coils work - are they exactly the same? If so, why bother changing them? I'm guessing previous owner replaced them cos he had to?

Also, what exhaust manifold is that? Looks nice; but that merging piece looks abit questionable in the flow design... probably good though (anyway, would most likely be better than stock).

don't really need them.. stock coils that don't die because they have 100+K have yet to see a limit to their design that I'm aware of.

J/K, yea, no problem with getting a ride after I get it tuned.:)

lol SHAWEET..

btw if you need coils, I've got some lying around you could have.. just minus postage.

[awd2ks4]

Are the sti coilpacks exactly the same as ours? Looks like it

[davenew]

wow how many miles are on the car now

39,xxx I didn't drive it much since buying it. I was afraid the timing belt might be original and I was planning on pulling the engine anyway (better safe than sorry due to age of belt). As it turns out, the old belt looked fine..

[davenew]

Great looking build. When do you plan to have her on the road? Did you go for 2.8 or 3.0?

I believe the overbore puts it around 2.8. I kept the stock crank, after seeing what WMS did with their laser car w/stock crank.:)

[diabolical1]

i really dig your bad-ass (and throroughly protected) project. one question so far ... why did you opt to use only the intake cams?

Thanks! Aren't the exhaust cams the same?

[diabolical1]

Aren't the exhaust cams the same?

you know something, you got me on that one ...

i think you just gave me an "A-Ha"-moment though because i've been gathering information on cams lately and i've only seen one set of specs on the exhaust cams. so i'd say you're probably right.

[michael66899]

Thanks! Aren't the exhaust cams the same?

Yes sir.

[wdbdy2000s4]

Thanks! Aren't the exhaust cams the same?

RS4, s4, and 2.8 all have the same exhaust cams.

Once this beast is all done I will make the trek across the state to check it out... I've wanted to see a widebody car in person for forever!

[TravS4]

... For now... lol

How far are you from Richmond? I'll let you know when I go up to dinwiddie dragstrip sometime in the spring. I plan on driving up on a Saturday test-n-tune and make a pass early.. before someone dumps oil on the asphalt.

2 hours from Richmond, 4 from you, so I would definitely ride out there and watch it run... heck, maybe even do a pass myself.

Nice Dave! Glad to see it coming together finally!

Will be cool to see the differences between a 2.8 GT2860RS car and a 2.8 GT2871R car!

You won't.. because I don't have either one. I have GT2860R, but not with the "S" at the end. The "S" is for expanded flow capacity over the non-S but the main physical difference is the turbine housing of the R is allegedly easier to fit in smaller spaces.

By the way, I googled and realized the exact same part number of my 707160-5 turbos were installed oem on nissan skyline R34's with N-1 engines. The main difference being the skylines used internal wastegates. Autospeed weld plugs the holes in the turbine housings for using external wastegates.

Here's the compressor map of a GT2860RS "disco potato" The strange thing is Garrett apparently didn't feel the need to map it at higher pressures. I know the WMS laser car ran much more than 2.5 PR on them without blowing up.:)




Here's the map of my GT2860R "p/n 707160-5"

[RusS4]

Nice build Dave. Id love to stop by and check it out sometime. Possibly bring Edwin along?

[Chandlerdoom]

[jibberjive]

Getting close!

[washyourrhands]

[99ebpsi24]
