Re: AWE 700hp kit installation teaser
Damn, you. You're giving me way too many ideas of things to do with my car. Is that a new throttle body to go with the plenum? Also from AWE?
Keep us posted with your impressions. If the end result is the same as Todd's in-house R & D car, hold on for some serious fastness.
Have fun.

Hoho! What do I see there Eugene! Modified vtgs? Evoms ICs, throttle body, plenum, headers! It was not so long ago that you told me that you would not go past stage 2 since the power was already too much for you! I never believed that for a second! Am happy you took the plunge,
you'll love it everybit of the way.. Am curious on your first driving impressions. My car with similar mods, but without plenum and headers, is yet to be matched in pace in 3 track days I did in europe. I predict you ll be positively surprised with the results.

Knocking it out this weekend, and so far very smooth. I learned my lesson from last time and soaked all the exhaust bolts with PB Blaster for 72 hours first. More than half way done and going to finish tomorrow. Here are some teaser pics
Now you're talking. I knew you would come to your senses and tune the living c--- out of your car!

Re: AWE 700hp kit installation teaser
Dock,
very good point. I put a heavy duty jack 3 tonne jack stand under the engine block jack point. Working under a jack alone is rolling the dice!
Some european networks don't seem to like Picvault so when I finish today I will upload the pics to RC's server here

Previous exhaust installation instructions can be seen here:
http://www.rennteam.com/showflat.php?Cat...true#Post302887
Turbo access is easy once the intercooler is off
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072082_turboexposed.jpg[/img]
Turbo hardlines and ducts removal. Use female and male torx sockets to loosen 5 hardlines from the turbo. I used a small chisel or screwdriver to help lift the flanges of these lines off the turbo. There is enough flex in the lines to push them off the body. The compressor ducts unscrew from the rear (inlet) tube and unclip from the side (outlet) tube. Careful not to hurt any of the O-rings on any of the lines. AWE very thoughtfully provided all new Viton O rings but I reused the old ones. Also remove the EGT probe with a 14mm wrench
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072069_hardlines.jpg[/img]
Stock header being removed. Remove this first to allow easier turbo removal. Install new header after new turbo installation. Use liberal amounts of PB blaster for 2-3 days prior to attempt. Also, Passenger side headers is very close to the oil tank - end bolt can be accessible with a 1/4" drive 13mm socket since the 3/8" drive sockets are too wide to clear.
[img]http://www.picvault.info/pvv21.php?im=537072076_manifold.jpg[/img]
Header removed. Exhaust ports are exposed, as is the turbine inlet of the turbo. I used carb cleaner to remove some of the carbon to ensure a clean mating surface for the new headers. The new AWE headers are perfectly matched in size to the exhaust ports ensuring uninhibited flow.
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072070_head.jpg[/img]
New header installed. Beautiful contours. The primaries and collector are matched in size to the head and turbo to ensure optimal flow. Good access in maintained to all mounting bolts. Do not tighten the header in place until the turbo is fitted to the lines and exhaust - you need some play here to get the turbo flanges to fit over the studs, then tighten everything down
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072072_headers.jpg[/img]
Diverters are removed from the stock turbo. Just unfasten 3 10mm bolts. Reassemble to new turbo with a dab of blue or green loctite
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072067_DIVERTER.jpg[/img]
Swap out the oil reservoir. Held in place with 2 torx bolts. Replace O ring with new one thoughtfully provided in kit
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072077_oilreserve.jpg[/img]
Intercooler fitment - old intercooler cores are smaller than the new ones. The stock cores are recessed inside the frame of the intercooler, whereas the new ones are flush. The ducts need to be trimmed with a utility knife to allow the ducts to fit flush and clamp properly. The plastic is thin so trimming is a breeze - maybe 10 minutes
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072074_icduct.jpg[/img]
Throttle body removed and stock plenum coming out
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072081_tboff.jpg[/img]
New plenum going into place
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072078_plenum.jpg[/img]
New plenum installed. Best way is to push the rubber hoses inward onto the plenum, fit it in place, the push the hoses out to place. Rotate the plenum with the throttle body flange downward to allow easier access to the vacuum hose fittings
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072079_plenumin.jpg[/img]
New throttle body is significantly larger than stock
[img]http://www.picvault.info/images/537072080_tbbore.jpg[/img]
Plenum and throttle body installed. Looks completely stock

Re: AWE 700hp kit installation teaser
Eugene, I was reading your post at rennlist, are you really feeling pick turbo boost (and thus torque) at 2,500 rpm or so!!?? That would be remarkable with modded vtgs and 700hp..
A couple of questions. What kind of vtgs does awe use? Are they modded stock ones? (larger compression side). Do you have to change any engine internals for that kind of power?I thought that for 700hp you would need to change at least the rods?
