Stage 2 Cosworth Kit Preview!!!!

[350matt]

I think they're offering 3 tunes

1 for the stock exhaust
1 for the catback , stock header and downpipe
and 1 with the full exhaust with header

That would make sense as some people might have bought the 1.1 and 1.2 stage kits.

their site offers the kit as a stand alone set of parts, I think that you get the calibration / tune with it but you don't have to use it

just like any of the other kits you can fit it and tune it yourself

Yes, that's what I said...

I think the original question was if you could get a price break if you just tell them you don't want their tune.

I hope this kit turns out to be For The Win.

Twin charge.

now that would be cool

the heat exchangers look plenty big enough for that too

what turbo kit would you use with it?, would only need a small turbo

In twin charge set ups the idea is to use a large(r) turbo and use the charger to provide low end / assist the turbo etc. Using a small turbo is just going to choke things up in the turbine housing, and net you very little.

Ptuning turbo kit with GT3076 which is on my car now. Would be perfect as the turbo sits behind the motor and the turbo outlet snakes up to the exact spot the TVS intake sits.

It is the smaller red pipe that wraps over the centerline of the intake manifold in this pic:



I would ditch the ptuning intercooler and bov and all the pipes that snake around in front of the engine. Would be pretty trick. My post about twin charging was 99% joking, but if I was made of money I would try it for fun.

May as well just get the works setup if you are ditching IC.

He would be using the Cosworth AWIC setup built into the manifold.

Totally not worth the trouble.

That turbo is too small. The whole point of twin charging is to have a big turbo.

Also works turbo is unnecessarily complicated. There is no reason to have the turbo there and have all that weird exhaust routing other than to retain factory cats and get CARB approval.

I'm sure the intended market is not just the general public but, for serious race teams as well who are considering this platform,.....there is ridiculous cash spent on very cheap cars to front year long racing series world wide. Obviously they seem to think this platform worthy themselves or have had enough enquiry's from race teams to do this. Cosworth is normally not for Joe average.

Does anyone have this kit installed?
