8V Turbo Upgrade

[tommy gun 6]

I want to swap the standard turbo on my 205 8v turbo.

It's got a standard 406 sri lump in but with dta managment

Currently running 214 / 238

I need to no if I can fit a gt2871r down the tight squeeze against the bulk head on a standard mani.

Tried searching but can not find anything pacific

To the turbo I want to use.

You need a different exhaust manifold to fit a different turbo as the PSA T25 is quite a specific flange

Wrong choice of turbo in my opinion, look at the GT2560. But at H says you will need a different exhaust manifold.

Before that though I would seriously consider a change of camshaft.

Would a gt2560 fit with a tt exhaust manifold?

The only other thing I can find other than that is the dp mani.

Yes, as long as you get the right one eg with T25 flanges.

Maybe do a search on the forum (via google).

The topic has been covered before.

Note that the tt manifold is still restrictive. You wont get a gt2871 to its max with it. If you want big numbers, you need to get a dp manifold.

The gt2871 will hit the bulkhead with the tt manifold btw...

 

(Edit: I have tt manifold on my car and initialy tried to run it with a pulsar t28 that has similar formfactor as the bigger gt28's)

Will the dp mani work with a right hand drive motor because it looks tight on the servo.

Pics from dp are all left hookers.

Interesting project!!

I would be pleased to see the results once you've put it on a RR.

 

Note that if you try to run high boost on a restrictive manifold, you can get reversion of exhaust gasses back in to the cylinders, causing severe engine knock (sensitivity).

So use detcans if you map it.
