Turbo Charged FTO
Posted: July 24th, 2009, 12:49 am
My Plan is to Turbocharge my FTO below are the details I'm planning to work with tell me what you guys think?
1. 6A13tt Tranplant. This will take the capacity from 2 litres to 2.5 litres.
The 6A13tt was designed for the twin turbo setup so has strengthend internals and
runs a compression ratio of 8.5 - 1. The original 6A12 runs 10 - 1 compression so
needs decompression plates for any turbo. The twin turbo of the 6A13tt is tiny and
will fit in the bay of the FTO without major changes to the firewall.
2. Turbo. I want to probably put a single Garrett GT35/40 turbo.
This means a new fully fabricated exaust manifold system, ceramic coated, hence some of the delays.
I am hoping this turbo will not have too much lag for this engine and I would certainly not go any bigger.
*but later in the project*
3. Intercooler . A must for this setup. (front mounted ofcourse) with Core Dimensions: 23"L x 12"H
4. Fuel System. A WALBRO 255 LPH fuel pump and upgrading all 6 injectors to 850cc. & fuel reg.
5. ECU . Haltech E6k ECU
6. Tranny. 5 Speed Manual Gearbox with LSD Diff (Tiptronic gotta go I might break it.)
7. Brakes. Black Diamond Combi Brake Discs - Doesn't like top stop right now much-less to this huge upgrade
8. Clutch - FTO Paddle Race Clutch
9. BOV - Dual Type RS Turbo Blow Off Valve on 2.5" Dual Adapter Flange Pipe
10. Oil Catch can - LOL
What my friend abroad got!!!
Reporting at 7 psi it is pulling 300hp, at 14 psi it is pulling 370 hp, and at 16 it is 410.
I wanna crank 20+
More Updates Soon....... Please feel free to add info....

Fuel Pump Rewire: Rewiring the fuel pump with a larger gauge wire can help the stock pump (or any aftermarket pump) maintain higher fuel pressure/volume throughout its' entire operating range, as the stock wire is pretty small. The small wire limits the voltage to the pump, and under high boost, the lower voltage can severely affect fuel output. Some people have measured 10 volts or less at the pump under high boost with the stock wiring. Adding a larger wire and relay to feed the pump can restore the voltage to that of the battery (usually 13-14V), maximizing pump output.
