Pitman's Black UK GT 86 with AVO Turbo
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 http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3d36b152.jpg I fitted winter tires onto a set of Impreza Rb5 Wheels rims I bought off EBay, and had re-furbished http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps229d6219.jpg 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 http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps178c4e1d.jpg http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2b058913.jpg http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psf95de378.jpg http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psb4545fc2.jpg http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps84a169cf.jpg Spec at this stage: Eibach Sportline lowered spring kit Whiteline 16mm adjustable anti-roll bar Summit Swave Rear Adjustable Toe Control Arm Set Summit Swave Rear Adjustable Camber Control Arms Fensport Front Camber Adjust Bolts Whiteline Offset top mounts Summit Swade Front Strut Bar Rota Grid 18 X 8.5 ET44 Fronts Roto Grid 18 X 9.5 ET38 Rears Goodyear F1 Asym. 2 225/40 front, 245/35 rear Also fitted a rear under diffuser http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psda792242.jpg Gas struts to replace the hood stay http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psff0e6e50.jpg Summit Swade Front Strut bar, Password JDM Ultimate Diagonal Brace and Laile Beatrush brake master cylinder brace http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps05bf7848.jpg http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps44af9c46.jpg Currently waiting to be fitted: http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps24642553.jpg Specification for turbo fitment: AVO Turbo kit stage 2, ceramic coated manifold & turbine housing, 8psi actuator 3 Bar map sensor & overboost cut Electronic closed loop boost control via Ecutek Forge Dump valve Breather system Ultimate Racing dual exit 3" exhaust Helix uprated clutch cover assembly and organic plate AEM Wideband Failsafe Gauge |
The black rotas set the car off nicely. Looking forward to the turbo install :party0030:
|
Black on black has always been a favorite of mine. Nice build so far. :happy0180:

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.
|
Keeping it clean is a real pita :(. However, it is a real labour of love :lol:
|
Time for an update :thumbup:
Final engine view with turbo fitted http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psa20a6890.jpg Blow off valve http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps97992c90.jpg Lambda sensor for AEM gauge http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4273f92e.jpg RPM wire for AEM gauge http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9f84d498.jpg Vacuum / boost tap for AEM gauge http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps091c3edd.jpg AEM Gauge fitted in drivers side vent http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8bda045a.jpg 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) http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps938224f1.jpg I have also fitted a reverse camera http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4f8e95be.jpg http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...pse1fff54e.jpg Also fitted the new Toyota centre arm rest http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psb9650dfa.jpg This is pretty much where the car is now :lol:. 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 :laughabove: |
Looks like fun! Let us know how you like the turbo kit as time goes on.
|
@Pitman - that armrest is an OEM option in the UK?
|
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?
