Pitman's Black UK GT 86 with AVO Turbo

[Pitman]

After having fallen in love with the FT86 concept car when it was first shown, I finally picked up my Black GT 86 at the end of September last year.

The day I picked it up from my local Toyota dealer


I fitted winter tires onto a set of Impreza Rb5 Wheels rims I bought off EBay, and had re-furbished


Once the weather warmed up, I ordered a set of RotaGrid rims, and booked my car into Fensport (a UK Toyota tuning specialist to have the suspension lowered, and a full wheel alignment done

The black rotas set the car off nicely. Looking forward to the turbo install

Black on black has always been a favorite of mine. Nice build so far. :happy0180:

I am not sure. I bought the parts from here: http://www.fensport.co.uk/

[JD86]

Didn't realise you were black as well :-p Good to see more of us running around, although I'm thinking a colour change might be in order due to the difficulty of keeping it clean haha.

[Pitman]

Keeping it clean is a real pita . However, it is a real labour of love

[Pitman]

I dropped my car off last Friday to Fensport (the European AVO Turbo agents) to have my turbo kit fitted.

The kit


Let the work begin

Intercooler fitted


Intercooler pipes in




View from the top




Hopefully instillation will be finished today, and then mapping can start

My cat back exhaust is still somewhere between the USA and the UK, so if necessary Fensport will be fitting a Blitz exhaust to do the start up.

Time for an update

Final engine view with turbo fitted


Blow off valve


Lambda sensor for AEM gauge


RPM wire for AEM gauge


Vacuum / boost tap for AEM gauge


AEM Gauge fitted in drivers side vent


Unfortunately my Ultimate Racing exhaust never arrived in time for fitment along with the turbo kit, so the car will have to go back to Fensport in October for fitment of the new exhaust, and final mapping

Ultimate racing exhaust (3" pipe dia)


I have also fitted a reverse camera



Also fitted the new Toyota centre arm rest


This is pretty much where the car is now . I will get a dyno plot and post it once the Ultimate Racing exhaust has been fitted, and the final mapping has been completed.

The car is totally transformed, however - unbelievable power and low down torque, and it is comfortably quicker than my son's Nissan 350Z

[DarkSunrise]

Looks like fun! Let us know how you like the turbo kit as time goes on.

[ShoNUFF]

@Pitman - that armrest is an OEM option in the UK?

[Khazzy]

It is, just like the red Alcantara seats with Red trim too.

Your car is coming together nicely, I'm a big fan of Fensport's approach to this platform. Can you tell us more about the reverse cam, is it UK OEM or aftermarket?
