Well, it's not that new, I've had the engine kicking around for years and have been talking about turboing it for just as long. But things finally kicked up a gear during lockdown. The engine was reassembled (having been stripped a few years ago) and we picked up the manifold and down-pipe from Fusion Fabs yesterday....

Looking good what turbo are you using I have a T2 that needs a rebuild but thinking of using an ihi rhf3 fiat 500 abarth on my 1098 build. |

I have an RHF3 here if you're interested (just put it on eBay), I couldn't use it as Matt couldn't quite get it to fit in the standard location but if you're DIYing it's a great size.

OK I'm going to get a price to rebuild the T2 before I decide which way to go. |

Nice install, I've just fitted a kp35 on my 998 with first road test last weekend (between the rain...) very pleased with the performance and will be interested to read how you get on.

Looks super! Have you got a spec of your build? Nothing special, bog standard A+ 998. When measured, bores and crank journals were all within spec so standard replacements were used (it was a known low mileage unit). A very light tidy up of the head, just cleaning some casting junk nothing that'll affect performance. Keith Calver cam followers as they were well priced and trusted (compared to those from other suppliers). Gearbox is rebuilt, standard except for the X-pin diff. Clutch is a MED Verto ST1 package. As above, the turbo is a GT1544. I milled a little off the compressor housing so it could be clocked to allow the outlet to point downwards (for neater pipe routing). Boost control is with a Turbosmart actuator as they seemed to be the only ones that did a 7psi spring (I want a very safe base pressure). Fueling is with an SPi fuel tank and Metro pressure regulator with AN6 lines. Planning to change the pump if everything works out and I can increase the boost a bit. Electrical - Megajolt and AEM Failsafe Wideband. A neat pairing as I'm using the thresholds on the AEM to trigger the 2nd map on the Megajolt (so I can set a get-you-home advance map and rev limiter) and the analogue output of AFR is connected to the MJ aux.input so I can datalog it against load. I think that's all the interesting stuff. It's the first major build I've done so I'm not expecting smooth sailing (to the extent that I have another 998 lined up  )

I wouldnt mind comparing data logs if you do any megajolt logging whilst driving? Mine is very much a budget build with a stock 998 and i think, a slightly smaller turbo from Ford/Renault/ Dacia 1500 diesels. I am currently driving and adding a bit of advance. Not really having any detonation/pinking issues which has supprised me hugely. my old 1275 in the 90's suffered badly. jeff |

Looks and sounds great! Nice little setup, the MJ to AEM configuration sounds smart too. Nice bit of motivation to get mine finished! http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.p...tid=469104&fr=0 |

Awesome car, was good to chat to you at combe. really interested to see any more pictures of the turbo to intercooler pipe routing, you said the outlet is clocked down, so you have a U shape pipe? I'm trying to work out what the differences are between your turbo and mine.

To answer that with an image, I found an old picture of it mounted outside the car...
