We saw good gains with our manifold: http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/topic/1198-gt86brzfr-s-manifoldheaders-from-tuning-developments/ Can also be used with our turbo kit for future upgrades too

The MAF is still there, on the underside of the boost pipe as to keep things looking clean and tidy -

Was nice to have a catch up with you Keith and others! The car runs an external gate yes, you can run a blow off valve with the kit, the TiAL QSport 50mm BOV is an option for those that would like one -
Tuning Developments GT86 Turbo 'TD86'
Mike@TD.co.uk replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
Flawless Mark, granted we don't do standing start launches, but its holding perfectly fine across the peak torque area in all gears, no signs of slippage when into 5th and 6th gears -

We won't be looking at any larger until we're onto forged internals. Will then do some back to back testing on our car on the dyno -
Tuning Developments GT86 Turbo 'TD86'
Mike@TD.co.uk replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
Currently 2.5" which we run on our car at the moment, with a resonated center section. All of our exhausts are made with mandrel bent tubing and are all flange jointed too. We will be looking at 3" systems in the future, but at the moment it isn't needed -
GT86 Turbo Kit & BRZ Turbo Kit from Tuning Developments
Mike@TD.co.uk replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
Yes, we're keeping a close eye on data logs and have been testing for over 6 months with 6,000miles of use now and climbing on a daily basis. Nice thing about the ECUTeK software is the boost can be tailored rpm dependent as to help with this issue of torque. This is one of the main reasons we chose to go with an external wastegate, for precise control and more importantly, repeatable control. We'll be capping the torque at a safe level and then adding a small amount of boost in at higher rpm after the main peak torque curve. This will then give a really strong, flat torque curve across the entire rev range, and a very appealing power band. We have swapped over to a 5w40 engine oil with our car, this is included within the turbo kit price quoted -
Tuning Developments GT86 Turbo 'TD86'
Mike@TD.co.uk replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
We did around 10 pulls, but just the single session on the dyno yes, I think the most power we've seen from a stock car could well be Alec's 86 which i'm sure was late 190s? Be interesting to see the difference after 20k miles of usage though Pop in whenever Mark, we're easier to find now too Look smart bud! I've got some photos on the camera which I need to get uploaded, will add them soon -
GT86 Turbo Kit & BRZ Turbo Kit from Tuning Developments
Mike@TD.co.uk replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
Sorry James, we've been giving our kit a thorough beating, I mean testing to ensure it all behaves before releasing it. It would be good to get some data from your car and see how it compares, we're going to sort another open day after JAE, maybe pop up to that and have a chat? The turbo blankets we have some extras coming in next week so i'll let you know -

At this moment in time i'm afraid not bud, just the equal length for us for the foreseeable future. Although never say never! I will do Rob, will keep our project thread up to date with our progression -
GT86 Turbo Kit & BRZ Turbo Kit from Tuning Developments
Mike@TD.co.uk replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
Yes for sure Rob, we have fuel pump, injectors, clutch and boost solenoid ready to go on and then wind the boost up by a few more psi and hopefully get into the region of 320bhp at no more than 10psi on the stock motor. Then it'll be forged rods and pistons which are sat on the shelf waiting to go in and wind the boost right up then and aim for a power output closer to the potential of the turbo itself -
Will do Jordan, best of luck with your project too Cheers Mike

We're still here We've moved premises into a much larger unit for those who have been to the previous place, 2.5 times the size so much better for us. I'll be adding some new posts/products to our section shortly, if anyone needs anything, drop me a PM or pickup the phone and shout me. Or for those who are local, we're here 7 days a week so just drop by! We'll be at JapFest 2 and JAE as usual this year, so feel free to come over and say hello and look round the car Dave, we have an excellent reputation with many marques, including the Starlet, disappointing to see your comment to be honest, you seemed like a very nice chap when I met you We look after a good number of GT86 and have excellent feedback from folk, would like to see some more BRZ coming in though Cheers Mike

BC Racing Coilover Kit for GT86/BRZ/FR-S
Mike@TD.co.uk replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
Quick shot of Mark's Red 86 now riding on BC Coilovers, looks awesome and rides fantastic Cheers Mike Jones Tuning Developments Ltd -
road remap rather than just sticking it on a Dyno and mapping in a simulated static environment.
Mike@TD.co.uk replied to Mark@Abbey M/S's topic in Abbey Motorsports
We always use a mixture of both, the dyno is a fantastic tool and a very good investment for us. Most of the tuning is done on the dyno, with final checks done on the road afterwards. Also find it much safer on the dyno, especially with bigger powered cars. Cheers Mike Jones Tuning Developments Ltd -
Having owned nothing but black cars I thought that the case too, until we got the 86... Looks fantastic when it is clean though! Cheers Mike Jones Tuning Developments Ltd

Why did we buy a white car....... Cheers Mike Jones Tuning Developments Ltd
