Rev3 tubby project (car mapped ready for summer )

[synXero]

I decided to tackle a few jobs that needed doing this weekend and I'm now left with a bigger job than when I started.

every xxxx time right?

That sounds like good progress though. Bad news with the tyres, are you running lots of camber now...? Have to get another run organised to a rural chippy soon

[Gullzter]

Sorry for not being able to help bud

Get yourself some eibach camber bolts to help pull the wheels back in

Yeah we need another day out soon,that trip to inverary was brilliant.

Small update,replaced the subframe today which was a nightmare. Fitted poly arb bushes on the rear while I was at it and fitted the replacement control arms. Front tie rods and trd anti roll bar are fitted. Just need the geometry done now and mapping next week.


Nice tidy work area



New sub frame cleaned up a bit

I took the car to performance hq in dalgety bay today for mapping. Russel was a great guy,he was happy for me to be in the booth to see exactly what was happening. I was aiming for a bit more power to make use of the new parts and we thought 330 brake max. At 1.15 bar it's running 325ish at the fly which is ideal. He said more power could be had at that boost level but i was happy the way it was. Had the car out for a run earlier and it feels superb,no and smooth and the td06 certainly makes a difference,glad I bought it now.

The car is booked in for inner tie rods and an oil change on Monday then the highland drive on Thursday

Can't wait to see the car again mate - look forward to our next run.

[Gullzter]

Glad thats done for you now
Did you try a higher boost pressure before settling?

Ill need to get a feel of your car mate, im looking into suspension, arbs and polybushing so would be good to know how it feels.. Did you get the geomatry done aswell?

[slipping clutch]

Good work Glen, I am glad you finally managed to get it mapped. I know the td06 is regarded as a bit old fashioned these days but they make quite a bit of difference over stock don't they.

[C35Rob]

do you know the specs of the TD06 that came with the ATS kit? was it a td06H or SL2? which exhaust housing did it have (8cm or 10cm?) I'm quite interested in going with a similar spec later on this year...

Cheers

Sorry Rob, I don't know the spec. they were using, I have just been on their website to have a look for the information and the spec. isn't listed.
My TD06 is a mitsubishi td06-20g converted to external wastegate.
Peter Gidden from Sbits used too/maybe still does order quite a few parts from ATS for customers and I think he may know the answer to your question.

[C35Rob]

I checked their website too but to no avail.. I'll try asking peter, cheers.

Yeah it has made a big difference over the ct20, that bit of extra power and a proper map has totally changed the car. It did take me a while to get it mapped though!

As for specs of the kit peter is the guy to ask,he was the one who imported it for the original owner .

[jimGTS]

interested to see afr/boost/torque/hp graphs??

[glen n]

Put the car into a local garage for an oil and filter change,stayed with Mobil 1. Also had the inner tie rods replaced and the steering rack gaitor while it was being done.

Jim I'll take a picture of the printout the guy gave me and upload it to photobucket.

I eventually got the old knackered indicators changed today,I got a set of smoked indicators in swap for some strut braces. They actually fit without popping out all the time! Even that has got me happy

I wasn't sure I'd like them but if think with the dark wheels they work nicely.

Definitely look much better mate... I like it

[glen n]

The other ones were a riot,I just could never be bothered swapping them.

[Gullzter]

Lovely mate lavvvly!
I need to get a new passenger side for mines as its cracked

[glen n]

Not an exiting update,got some new front tyres as the avons were scrubbed on the inside and were out of shape. Went for some toyo proxes t1rs as they are soft like the r1rs on the rear. £162 fitted and balanced which was cheaper than black circles.

Your car looks lovely i also have a red rev3 tubby which i would love to get somewhere to close to your standard

Please tell me you are not still thinking of selling your baby?

Pete

[glen n]

I'm holding onto the car,I've decided I've put too much into it to sell it just now. what could I replace it with for 4k that will be so much fun? I just takes going out a blast and heading the screamer pipe then you love the car all over again
