So i have one question...

which of the two turbos is the best??

- The kkk k16 (original turbo from opel calibra 4x4turbo)

OR

- The MHI TD04 11G (original turbo from BMW 525 TDS "Disel" )

Nice build mate I would love to know exactly how you managed to fit the turbo, that looks like an awesome conversion! Are you having problems with the standard pistons as most people would recommend forged pistons for a turbo conversion.

[Dj_Faisca]

I managed the turbo by original ECU, after some days i put the chip that seels on the M-Tech, they are now 4000km with this aplication and a don't have any problem, but the turbo onely do 0,5bar pressure, to put more pressure i need forged pistons.

[LeNnOxLeWiS]

nice build! a lot of room for improvement! you will need to work on internals there.

are you running stock compression?!

cheers/

abraco, bom trabalho! =)

[Dj_Faisca]

Yes i´m running stock compression, then i have the turbo only 0.5bars

[MSG]

ya is very good your pictures, looks very nice, I like it too much. cool mods.

[Dj_Faisca]

Thanks man

[LeNnOxLeWiS]

you can buy some LET pistons and fit them, its a easy mod to do (sort of), they are not as expensive and should be fine for about 300hp!

cheers!


(vou fazer o mesmo ao meu XE...é barato!)

[Dj_Faisca]

Yes, in this moment i have the c20let pistons to put in... on the next month i will put the pistons and another this, like ECU motronic 2.7 chiped by V-Max. etc

the MHI TD04 is beter becouse is bigger than k16 and in high rpm can flow more
install TD04 if you want to upgrade power in future

[hamit]

look and c20xe pistons are from forged aluminium but problem is compresion ration
with xe-pistons you have about 10.5:1 cr can detonate easy and destroy your pistons with higher pressure than 0.6bar+
with let pistons you have about 9.5:1 cr you can increase presure more than 1bar+
is my think

[hamit]

question do you have change pressure regulator and injectors or you are runing with std c20xe bye

[Gary_808]

looks good

i'm turbo'ing a xe, only difference will be thicker head gasket and i want over a bar going through it, but i'm running megasquirt.

[Hinton]

Looks awesome mate, nice conversion!

[InternetzSrsBiz]

Nice project you have there And your english is good

[daddy cav]

Not keen on the ducting cold feed pipe being used in between air flow / mass meter .
That aint gonna take anything before giving up .

[Dj_Faisca]

Someone get me the wiring diagram of the injection system Calibra Bosh Motronic 2.5??

[Dj_Faisca]

Hello people

Some people told me that the crankshaft of the C20let it is the same of the C20xe... it is true?

[Dj_Faisca]

People the crankshaft of the c20xe support 500cv ???

[calibra-žu]

very brave project..Are you measured acceleration,top speed?.I am interested gain compared to a standard xe...

[spico007]

Hello people

Some people told me that the crankshaft of the C20let it is the same of the C20xe... it is true?

I had A C20Let with a crankshaft from XE on the exhaust side,it gives a better reaction on higher Rpm a little bit.
Think You are looking for this?

[Dj_Faisca]

Hello again

First sorry i´m not post more information on my project since last year

Second i stop the project of c20xe Turbo, and start another project for my calibra.
The idea is to put on my calibra a c25xe and put one or two turbos, for this i need help from all of you guys.

First question is what better gearbox f20 or f25??
