Im thinking about pushing the little 126kw motor a fair bit harder.ive got a nice setup now but im getting the modding bug back.....fueling and exhaust i have sorted for the upgrade.chipit,dte and custom 3" no cat no mufflers pipes.this equils way to much fuel capabilitys for my current air intake/turbo.new intercooler picked out.coolingmist water meth kit waiting (for egt controll) air intake upgraded but will need changing for the new mods.also running a forefront 4 bolt billet turbo.(beautiful bit of kit).
Looking around for more air flow tho match the fuel leads me to the newer series of VNT turbos....enter the gt2260v....gtb2260vk and newest one i can find is a ball bearing/water cooled 35+psi GTB2260VKLR.thats normally factory fitted to later model mercs and some others.
There is a bigger brother to the GTB2260V and its the GBT2560v but again not that many around...cant find and flow maps for any but the 2260 series but these are currently being modded and fitted to some euro VW 1.8-2ltr tdi with fantastic results.
Looking mainly at the GTB2260VKLR model for its known qualitys...ball bearing,water cooling,quality materials ( high heat tolerances as reported buy many users) and high standard boost capabilitys.it should be a worthy upgrade even in standard trim.
Problems are when it comes from a merc its got a difficult flange to use.a audi housing converion is available to bring it back to a more traditional flange angle but machining might be needed. Or a radical bend for the turbo inlet,which im sure merc would be running anyway
For perfect results A new exhaust manifold will have to me fabricated.not hard just some hours for me...
A new filter and intake system is probably needed too.
This leaves me with a spare forefront turbo.(only just run in) plazamann hard pipes(only just fitted) k/n apollo intake filter with genuine snorkle sealed fitting kit also a fresh 3" dump pipe and tdc fuel rail chip.
Any one looking to upgrade soon feel free to comment as it could all be up for sale soon.
But now i looking for any input on the turbo choices ive arrived at...or if anyone has some detailed info on the GTB2260vklr they want to share that would be great too.
Some links.....
