Custom valves from Ferrea arrived:
Exhaust valve (vs stock)

Intake valve (vs stock)


May need bigger seats installed Reg

Your exhaust valves are bigger than 4AGE inlet valves.

how much larger are those valves ?

Take some guesses.

1mm? i thought these were custom? 2mm?

I'm gunna guess +2.5mm intake, +3mm exhaust.

By the way, do you have any provision for monitering EGT?? We have had two FP turbos fail recently on customers cars, and FP's response was that our EGT must have been exceeding 800degrees. They both dropped a few blades off the exhaust turbine and the inbalance flogged out the bearings and the intake turbine bit into the compressor housing and they siezed solid.

Close, 2.5mm intake, 2mm exhaust - too damn big for the current valve reliefs in my pistons *grumble*

I will be running EGT sensors in every exhaust runner, I am still yet to make my next manifold. I have sold the FP turbo, I have a borg warner EFR 9180 on order - could be a while coming.

to run one of these snazzy new BW turbos.. do i just need a different adapter for the exhaust manifold and to clock the turbo to suit my application?

Hrmm, what have you got, standard mani with adapter? It should fit straight on, you can get T3 variants. You'll need to redo the downpipe and intake plumbing possibly.

yep standard gen2 manifold with the KO racing GT35R street brawler kit...err..adapter.
so is that a T3?
