hi
got an lcr and have bought a GT2871R turbo for it and a new intercooler as well as the usual silicone pipes etc and was wondering does anyone know the best uprated injectors for it and will i need to uprate the fuel pump and pressure reg. i know its gonna be remapped which is not an issue.

has anyone got this kit on their lcr and whats the power i can expect?

cheers

Bosch 440cc green injectors. Standard pump okay and sufficient for 350hp. You wont need 4bar FPR with the 440's.

GT2871R.. Big laggy turbo that fits on standard mani is it? Standard mani is restrictive and will stop you going past around 330ish

 

[davet175]

yeah thats the turbo.
will work well as when in traffic onthe way to work will be out of turbo kicks in around 350 ish
going to get a piper downpipe and at the mo its around 350 which is enough next job is the intercooler, awesome gti gave me either 440 or 550 and there was a set of 550 on ebay so snatched them up

 

[The MoffMeister]

you'd need fmic b4 big turbo mate esp for the performance of that turbo

 

[davet175]

so the forge one or similar?

 

[The MoffMeister]

depends on power output you want forge say theirs is good for 300bhp anything over that it doesnt work to good me and a few guys have the pro alloy one which is good for about 650bhp and its a twin pass as opposed to single pass

 

[davet175]

best price?
what you running?

Standard twin IC's are good for around 300hp, forge FMIC about 400.

Jabba told me to stay away from dual core IC's due to much higher pressure drops. No point in its large cooling capability if its going to lose more pressure as a consequence of being twin pass.

Not personally heard much about the pro alloy cooler nor the testing or research and development of it on the LCR. If its a twin pass, that's a no-no according to jabbasport

 

[The MoffMeister]

well i got it on a group buy for about £450 or something i think

running same turbo as you

just seen what mitchy wrote is doesnt sit on original mani as there t25 but presume you could get what you wanted though

yet again each tuner to their own, matt who drives an evo had one of these fmic and had the pressure drop but jabba sorted it and installed a boost regulator since then no probs

yet forge mitchy said their ic is good for 300bhp

hasnt been a lot of testing on ours but you look on their site and theres plenty there

Strange as when i enquired about forge FMIC i was told 400. Cant see it being 300 as it would be no better than the standard twins.

There are a few S3/TT's running GTRS eliminators with standard twins at 320/330.

Mines runs good and have no complaints from it

 

[The MoffMeister]

true it is strange as i asked the same question as i knew i was going bigger this was when they were doing their group buy and said that

but depends on who you talk to i suppose and also you have an lcr i have lc so not sure if its different or not for the fmic?

Jabba sport developed the cooler with pro alloy ( so I’d doubt they’d recommend against it) and it’s defiantly single pass! It’s thinner than most with a large surface area, which makes it very efficient!

 

[jamie paton]

i'm sure rob don uses one of those. pro alloy that is.

 

[The MoffMeister]

he had both forge and pro alloy

 

[davet175]

so what we all sayin then?
std ok for approx 300bhp
forge for around 400 bhp
and pro alloy for anythiing you can throw at it?

is there anyone with an elininator same as mine and what power have you got from it and what intercooler you runnin? its not due to the dyno next week at ray wests' at thruxton for the remap etc.

 

[The MoffMeister]

well is it 6speed or 5?

if you want a hassle free install dont get an eliminator

 

[davet175]

6 speed lcr. been told they can be a bit of a pig but "nothing good came from anything easy!" quote from mike tyson in 92

 

[davet175]

also really suprised that JKM down near me in portsmouth did not want the job,and said they couldnt map it either
