Very SLOW GTRS "build"

[FLACO X3]

going with the GTRS Eliminator with Eurodyne (Chris Tapp) tuning down the road, Im starting to get the parts and prices together early.

So far the list is: (required)
GTRS Eliminator Turbo
Software
Siemmens 630cc Injectors
FMIC
Test Pipe

Apperantley the software doesnt require a AFPR or bigger MAF, but I may still get them in case. Im also looking at a exhaust manifold, intake (w/ 3" MAF), fuel pump & rail, GIAC TIP chip, ect.

current mods:
Eurodyne ECU
Borla V1

the car is a tip and daily driver (110 miles round trip daily), so it'll be a slow build.

Input and advise welcome.

ig you are going eliminator stick with the stock manifold... less likely to crack and give you problems... and its free!

[Poopie]

i have a stock one you cans port and polish a bit. make an offer

[FLACO X3]

would a 2" FMIC core be enough?

Id say 2.5" thick at least. I definitely want to hear how your tranny holds up with the injectors and that turbo. How many miles do you have on your car?

[FLACO X3]

I currently have 121,443 miles exactly. The transmission and MPG are the two things Im looking at closely. 630cc seems a bit agressive for stock pump and FPR, so I'll be buying those just in case.

would any test pipe bolt up to the turbo?

[biketsai]

Yes sir!

Edit: a test pipe made for an a4 of course though.

[FLACO X3]

you have tranny problems with your set up?

[FLACO X3]

Apperently I'll be needing a MBC, how do I install it? I have the 034 motorsports one.

[speedydragon]

gotta watch this thread. i'm thinking of doing the samething in the near future, 113k on my car. tip as well

[biketsai]

I haven't had any problems with my setup yet but then again my turbo is a little different a puts out less power. I'll post up a picture on how to hook it up when I get home later.

thanks for showing interest. it will be a slow build though. Im fixing my heater next week and then will do a test pipe and maybe rotors or sway bars. im just piecing things together and planning ahead to try to avoid problems. Also i dont to spend all the money at once.

here is the MBC


If i were to give a ball park on the date, id say next spring at the earliest or when the k03 blows.

[Naudi_Mat]

Hey Flaco, I'm gonna be watching this thread as well. Since I'm in the process of building up and getting all the parts together for my new turbo install. And since we're both local if ya need any help with anything just let me know and I'd be glad to lend a hand.

[FLACO X3]

what turbo are you looking at with your set up?

btw your sig reminded me about the heater. just set up a date to fix it with Avalon. after that is done, the stock up of parts can begin.

[FLACO X3]

for the IC piping, what diameter is the GTRS inlet and would the charge pipe for a k03 FMIC set-up connect to the 'RS?

[Naudi_Mat]

For right now KO4, but I'm looking at going GT28RS next year possibly. It all depends on money flow and if these job goes thru here in the next couple weeks.

[97a41.8t]

Cool build! i am doing a similar setup.

I have a 97 A4 automatic and the turbo died and have the following which i have/was going to put on the 97

GTRS
Genesis 415cc @ 3bar
Racetec Intercooler
Techtonics Exhaust
Forge007
CAI + hoses

And getting a test pipe

But I'm going to do it right and find a 99.5 A4 1.8TQM and swap everything.

I have been reading about the 3" MAF Housing and it makes sense, but Revo/Unitronics dont really have any specs on what is required for their software.

Giac does not have software for the GTRS nor does APR (From what i understand). So i may have to get the Revo which i have read runs good. (Dont know much about the Chris Tapp Tune)

The GT28RS might have been a better option since the turbo itself is cheaper, but a new exhaust manifold and test pipe would be needed. You may want to consider it It might come out to be around the same price with more power

[speedydragon]

I plan on upgrading my dv, get a fmic, and replacing/upgrading all my mounts before going on to purchase the GTRS kit

[FLACO X3]

Im trying to figure out prices on this. All our ball park, you can find them cheper if you look. So far from verious sources Ive found different prices.....

GTRS Elim. turbo kit- $1,395-1,595
Sofwre/tune- $700
Siemens Deka 630cc Injectors- $220
FMIC- $300-2000
Test Pipe- $145-250
GIAC Tip Chip- $300
MBC- $65-120
EBC- $120-??
AFPR- $
MAF- $
Intake/TIP- $125-300

someone know some of these prices???

Skip the tip chip go for a valve body. Much better IMO

[FLACO X3]

im considering a level 10.
found a cheap test pipe in the classifieds. PM'd the guy.

[FLACO X3]

just found some 60 lb. injectors on AW

I also have considered it, but I wonder if putting a BAT on an A4 would be really worth it having an A/T.

GTRS aint a BAT is it? :|

[CTS Turbo]

GTRS aint a BAT is it? :|

I think its just a BT

[FLACO X3]

Its a small BT. K03 flange, "bolt in", stock manifold, ect.. flows about 350bhp. I was told a few times its the biggest turbo you SHOULD run on a Tiptronic. can run it with a lot of the same bolt-ons you'd do for a K03/K04.

[kevin12]

So do we think a 2871r is too much? AudiRacerS4 ran his 2871r with a stock tip other then a tip chip for awhile until he built it with IPT, didn't he? I'm curious because I'm ready to go bt and I know I can go all out I am definitely ready for an upgrade thats more then a k04.

[FLACO X3]

peoples always go bigger anyways. Theres a B6 tip here locally running a GT2871r Elim. on this software daily driver with no problem. Theres also full turbos (not eliminators) tips.

[kevin12]

Yeah I know people always go bigger but how are those tips holding up? Thats kinda what I want to know ha

[FLACO X3]

i think its more of a lag issue. unless your gt30+ i dont see your tranny blowing up. but idk.

[kevin12]

Thats what I'm thinking. Everyone is always so leary about the tip but I think it can holds it own to a certain limit but I may be wrong.

[speedydragon]

There are Stage 3 Tip S4s on az.. i don't think our tranny would blow up if theirs don't.

[kevin12]

Yeah and most of them have had work down to them iirc. Like modified valve bodies, new torque converters, race rebuilds...

[FLACO X3]

i know of a few Stage 3 A6's with only Tip chips on AW regional forum

[FLACO X3]

$700 for tuning. It is simply flashed in thru the OBD port.

[FLACO X3]

BUMP!
getting heater fixed today, then it can start , although my hours at work have begun to be cut

[FLACO X3]

got my FMIC in last night. w00t

[FLACO X3]

Hate to revive my old thread but I was wondering if I can run a HFC with the GTRS or do I need a TP?

Im running with LaBree's HFC, on my GT2871r, it has good flow and doesnt smell as bad as a TP. Only wish that it was 3 inches all the way. But other than that I love it. Make sure you get a anti-fouler for the post-cat O2 sensor or it your tune is tuned for it.

okay thanks. yeah my tune can allow for a TP/HFC. I think the 034 HFC is 3", i might go with that.
