#1: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: 206gt160, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Sun Aug 02, 2015 8:12 am
    ----
Decided to start a new thread.

Here is my 206 Gt that will be mainly used as a track car with the occasional weekend outing.

She is low miles at only 72,000 miles.

The modifaction's list is below.

Fast road cams
180 inlet manifold
180 exhaust manifold
180 injectors and rail
180 alternator
Decat straight through stainless exhaust
Gti6 70mm Throttle body
Gti6 ICV
Gti6 Throttle position sensor
Gti6 front drilled and grooved disks
Gti6 calipers
Shortshifter
Momo racing 260mm steering wheel
D2 billet steering wheel boss
AVO coilovers
Flocked dash
Flocked steering column surround
Carbon wrapped centre console
carbon cold air intake with 70mm samco
Morrette headlights
Black sp bonnet grill
SP headlight trim grill (either side of pug badge)
Stripped out rear seats (still have rear seats)
New drop links fitted
Epman competition tow strap
Phase 2 black floor carpets
De-wipered rear window
Tinted windows
New ty rod and track rod ends
Pressed metal plates
Proffesionally fully undersealing

The car has had quite a lot of work to it and is nearly ready for the first track outing.

Pulls really well through every gear a big improvement over the standard Gti inlet and throttle body.. its jumped from a 54mm to 70mm throttle body.

Still yet to have a remap after the inlet change but it has only driven twice for around 15 minutes in total.

I would think on the current set up the car is probably in the the range of 170-180 bhp and 190-200nm of torque.

Needs a remap & track time ! Wink

I still see lots of extra weight on the beast !

Put a 4th bolt in that wheel !
Nearly there dude Wink
Im not into that gt rear bumper thou..
Still looking good r kid .

I know soon enough it will be remapped and be out on a track day

Need to make some alterations for the weight such as

Fibre glass/pvc door cards
Possibly trimming the passenger side dash and glovebox/airbag
Sound proofing removed
Speakers removed
All of the plastic trim

The 4th wheel bolt rolled under the car so I just took a quick snap but the bolt is now torqued up in place Smile

I like the Gt bumpers but they aint to everyones taste.. it will look better after the car has been dropped at the rear end. Its still sitting higher at the back.

She is coming along but there is still tonnes of work to do on her yet.

Yes it is Smile with a thermostat that has had the egr port blanked off so that it clears the manifold and a decent enough size (cheap) cooler. Now its time to get hold of a volvo turbo possibly. Looking for something that will be capable of 240bhp mark that will be small enough for quicker spool up times.. maybe even end up with anti-lag further down the line Evil or Very Mad

I was tempted by this kit but it contained so little it was no kit at all.

The intercooler you may as throw in the bin, highly unefficent! Best get a straight through cooler or top to bottom entry

Id recommed atleast a gt2871

#11: Re: 206 Gt track car Author: Project2062014, Location: Cornwall PostPosted: Mon Aug 03, 2015 2:43 pm

T4 /T3 would be a good option ?
Is this kit for sale ? It all looks used . Fleabay?
Lost lol i just want a turbo manifold so bad i cba making one ..
I could cry if that was on ebay & i missed out .
I need some boost in my life sooo bad . Pug 206 180 boost that is #Anti lag big flames & cwazy boost Wink yes please

It will be a little rocket when it's finished. It isn't for sale it's going on the Gt.
It has a t3 Turbo flange currently. I need a small volvo/saab style turbo to go with the kit before I start to make the turbo downpipe etc.
The price I paid for it was an absolute bargain at £150, and I'm not sure if I will be using this intercooler or using a different set up. I will be using 2 or 2.5 inch pipework. I will see how responsive it is with this cooler before I jump into buying a new one. I could quite easily sell the intercooler and get hold of a decent one. As for the manifold if I wanted to have one made or buy one off the shelf as it would be way over £150, so to me it's well worth the price

The car will be around 240-260bhp mark.. uncertain on torque yet, which is more than enough for me.. no plans for big boost. If I can get the car down to 950-1000kg it will be a very fast little car. I hope to have the turbo side of things sorted in the next 6-8 months. Then its on to the parts needed to get the power down like the LSD. Then on to Anti-Lag that I will be setting up if I get into hill climbs. It was bought off the 206 facebook site. All used but it's now cleaned up and sprayed with high temp paint which will keep it shiney for now.

For the size and power you want, a t28 would be fine at approx 7psi

I dont quite get why you would want anti lag, as most turbos would s**t them selves within a few days and the power you require, its just not needed

so gutted i didnt buy this Sad what you reckon it will cost to make a manifold in the same design? also what else would you need to turbo it mate? ecu etc??

#16: Re: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: 206gt160, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Tue Aug 04, 2015 2:42 pm

Anti-lag with a strong turbo would be fine I understand that turbos life spans are shortened but if I get into hill climbs I think it will be a benefit for the car. I wont be driving this car on a daily basis and you can set anti-lag up so you can turn it on/off if I was driving it on the roads.

It depends what you want out of the car. Im using stock internals as the engines have been proven to 300hp. New emerald ecu.. downpipes.. tip.. bigger injectors.. oil hose setup.. intercooler.. clamps.. pipes.. recirc or dump valve.. external or internal wastegate and plenty of other things. I will be doing all the work to get everything setup and then be dropping it off with a tuning garage to sort the power setup side of things.

Im just trying to advise you, you wont need but if you really wanted it. One stock internals wouldnt cope and maram shafted billet wheel turbo would may be able to cope but then you are talking plus 2k for a unit

Just get a t28 on there and youll be fine, mine made boost at 2.5k and full boost by 3.5 and thats a 1.6!

Anti lag on a track car?

#19: Re: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: 206gt160, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Wed Aug 05, 2015 1:14 am

The anti-lag is not fully on the cards yet I have said maybe end up with anti-lag if I get into hill climbs. Then it will be fully forged. At present the aim is to get the car to around 240hp with similar torque values. Then after a few years if I'm looking into getting into hill climbing with a few mates I know that are starting to do it now, then I would look into fully forging the engine with a bigger stronger turbo.

For now it is going to be a saab/volvo turbo or something similar.. I could even weld on a new flange if I wanted to broaden my search for a turbo. One step at a time.

A few packages turned up today I was like a kid at Christmas opening them Smile

The turbo internals are in perfect condition and after a quick clean up on the outside it will look brand new.

The 3 gauges are EGT.. Boost and Vacuum with a single din gauge mount. Thinking of maybe getting myself an intake temp gauge.

There are 10 turbo clamps to keep all the intercooler pipework together.

Dump valve and all the required pipe work to plumb everything in to the system.

Then decided on the T28 turbo from the 200sx

Contemplating using some 330cc injectors in the build. Due to the power output being 240-260bhp I will need to check these will be big enough

They wont be, 490s i would say

You want to keep the duty cycle below the 70 percent mark to keep atomisation good

I'd be straight to DP Engineering for one of their manifolds on a job like this. Buying something proven to work will save headaches further down the line.

490's? I have seen starlet turbos running 330cc on 240bhp + in the past? I have it worked out around 400cc.

This manifold was proven on a 206 that was running over 300bhp.. the dp-engineering manifold would be a necessity if I wanted to run 500bhp like some of the dp-engineering builds, but im only running 240bhp. The manifold has been checked over by a very good welder I know and he has said that the welds and pipe bend work would be more than capable of running what I want to run.

I would send it all back and stick with N/A pal. Thers no point in going big power if you can't use it or get it down. On track your on and off the throttle all the time it's just not worth it.

#29: Re: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: 206gt160, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Sat Aug 15, 2015 10:45 am

No I think I will stick with the turbo project, its been my plan for years now and 240 bhp isn't big power at all. If you look at what some of the lads off DP-Engineering are running 240bhp is nothing. Yours is 200+ so its not much more power than that really I will just get there slightly quicker (possibly) with an LSD to help get the power down.

Well so far I would say im around 70% ready for installing the turbo setup. Just waiting on the injectors, fuel pump, ECU (megasquirt) and FPR. So as you can tell I am still a few big bills away from being ready to take the car to (hopefully) bailey Performance in Telford.

I might get abit impatient and fit a few bits this coming week

#32: Re: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: 206gt160, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Thu Aug 20, 2015 4:43 pm
    ----
Had a quote off Bailey motorsport for providing all parts needed to fit the megasquirt v2.. installation and setup. £1200 all in.

I have been reading through a few internet pages and have come across a few interesting threads saying that it is possible to run the oem ecu with a low boost.. larger injectors and an afr to control the fuel.

Now I know most people will say stick with standalone ecu but do any of you have any knowledge on standard management turbo builds. As i have said previously on the build I will not be running big power as it will only be around 240bhp with standard internals and a decompression playe running along a single headgasket.

#33: Re: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: Addaz, Location: Suffolk PostPosted: Fri Aug 21, 2015 1:24 am

If you run decomp you need two headgaskets, and please just avoid megasquirt

You will seeiously seriously regret it in the future

#34: Re: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: 206gt160, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Fri Aug 21, 2015 3:09 am
    ----
Gasket.. decomp plate.. gasket. Dp-engineering and a few others say one gasket with a sealant seal under the decomp plate.

What do you have issue wise with megasquirt? I have heard they are good due to be able to upgrade parts and fit newer running systems for future upgrades.

Bailey motorsport use them for their builds and they are s**t hot.. heard bothing but good things about them. Are you on about the older versions of the v1?

Have you had expierience with them? could you let me know your thoughts about them Addaz.. what did you run omex?

I find it very hard to believe that a Megasquirt ecu is better than any of those others!

#37: Re: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: 206gt160, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Fri Aug 21, 2015 5:14 am
    ----
From what I have read its an ecu that is capable of being upgraded when better ruñning systems come out where as the others arent. But at the same time not as widely mapped as omex and emerald in the uk. People have their own preference and I can't really comment because used any of the units. I know a few people that run megasquirt that praise it. It can be a simple DIY unit or it can be a fully loaded pre-built unit. As said I haven't had the chance to run different ecu's so I can't really comment on which is better the better ECU. Some of you guy's will know better.

Its w**k beyond belief, i should i know i have one!

The map scaling/ratio is s**t, half the stuff is missing you need, a map square isnt seen and causes a misfire, boost control doesnt work and it almost dies every time you save your settings which is regular as!

Honestly for the cost, go emerald for the love of god. Speak to track n road in essex, two of the best mappers youll ever meet. Or even rs tuning, they will laugh at megasquirt

When i say its caused more problems then its saved, im being as honest as i can! I wish i never bought mine, just go for a good known english brand!

Cars looks great mate, really need to get stuck in with mine. I've done couple of bits now, like auto testing and a day a Gurston Hill Climb with the driving school with the car more or less standard, and I can honestly say the only thing in the car that needed to be fast is me. The fact the car wasn't stupidly quick and want to kill me at every opportunity made it so much more fun and easy to learn etc. If you go turbo fair play, but I'd get used to the car as standard, by the end of the day at Gurston I was only little slower than a couple of Boxter's. Either way, good luck, looking forward to seeing how the car turns out. Keep us updated.

I rang this company up at the time of my build (6years ago) and they had never heard of emerald or omex systems and tried to sell me the 'megasquirt' at this point the phone call was ended. you'll find it hard to find many mappers who will touch it as it's.... well not the best is what I was told be top Rolling road companies.
Oh did he tell you about his 1000bhp cossie engine he's building?

What are you lads running the throttles on? Omex or emerald?

Also how much was ecu and loom?

May go with omex or emerald now. I had heard so many people give megasquirt a top review but you guys are the opposite.

Just go Vems ecu. Plug it in & tune. No wires/cables to mess about with.
Have a look . Email them they are great for advise .

Decided to do abit of work on the 206 today so I fitted the hubcentric spacers I ordered and fit the gauges.

 


 


 


 


No Engine Management lights (ignore the low fuel the fuel tank is coming out)

Just read through your thread, brilliant turbo project! So much condensed info and following progress that no facebook can beat Wink
Certainly looking forward to updates, and by gigs I mean track days aligned Smile But now I see she's only on her way to the turbo operations theatre for now Wink

What wheels are you getting on those spacers?

#55: Re: 206 Gt Turbo track car Author: 206gt160, Location: Blackburn PostPosted: Thu Feb 04, 2016 7:00 pm

Fingers crossed she will be going to RS Tuning for the ecu and mapping soom. Still alot to do on my part though.

They are the wheels in the photos at the start, I have just fitted hubcentric instead of flat spacers. Could do with some 16's though but these are lightweight wheels.

Decided to Flock the speedo surround today. Need to do the passenger airbag, A-pillars and maybe the gear stick plastic trim.

 



Also fit a new 25mm I/D K&N breather for the Gti-6 ICV system

How much did you pay for the ecu loom and install at Pug 1 off.

Did they put a base map on so you could drive it away or did you have to trailor it away.

Decided to get myself some more storage so I can dry store the 206

Don't get me wrong its no sistine chapel but for a few pence over £20 a month it will do me for me. There is enough room to pull down the garage door in the rain and work on the engine.. saves me getting wet and I now have no excuse not to get work finished on the car.

Congrats to your little runner and new dry home! So what will it be: working on turbo conversion or driving about? Wink

leaving the turbo build until the end of the year. I need to iron out a few faults and make sure the car is running perfect so I dont want to jump into it. Just need to free up some time to do the work.
My main things are to get the car mapped in the state it is now and get the car out at weekends and run some diagnostics on PP2000 and make sure everything is running how it should do. There's an air leak, so I will be going to have a look this weekend with a can of carb cleaning spray to see if I can find where it is leaking. Probably just strip the inlet parts and might end up gasket matching the 138 head to the 180 inlet whilst they are off. Also thinking of getting a centre silencer, the exhaust is too loud.

Hopefully get a bit of track time soon

Fixed the air leak, fit an engine breather filter, altered and shortened some pipework, sprayed the manifold in EYC silver, removed an eco boost or powerboost valve that the previous owner had fitted. Few little jobs done and the car is idling perfect

Ready for a track day now

Or and I removed that awful steering wheel, god knows what I was thinking when I bought that



 



I have some Kevlar to wrap around the injector/TPS loom to tidy things up

Fuel pump needs changing its on its last legs.

How easy was the exhaust manifold to fit? Any other parts required other than the manifold

Mine was straight forward, but from what I have been told, the 138 gear selector hits the manifold.. so the previous owner must have changed it for the 180 selector cables pre-empting doing the manifold change before he sold the car.

So I will be removing the head over the next couple of weeks and need to know the Torque values for the head bolts is there a dedicated 206 2.0 16v haynes manual I can get hold of. I have a 206 one but I cant remember there being anything related to the 2.0 Engine.

The turbo build is starting earlier than I had planned. Ordering a 2.0 decompression plate and some ARP Head bolts and probably get the head port matched to the 180 inlet and turbo manifold while its off.

The later Haynes manual covers the EW10 engine.
