Fensport 76 Report post Posted December 24, 2014 Hi everyone, Thought to start a thread where we can keep all the Avo news and info in one place Starting off with some great news .... new pricing for 2015 has been announced, reducing prices by approx 10% making the kits even better value Stage 1, Non Ceramic is £2799 + vat Stage 1, Ceramic is £2,999 + vat Stage 3, Billet Ceramic is £3,349 + vat Stage 4, Large Billet Ceramic is £3,699 + vat Stage 1, is capable of 260 - 290 bhp depending mainly on exhaust flow and choice of actuator. A stock exhaust will be around 260 and a nice 2.5" exhaust will max out around 290bhp. Maximum flow for this turbo is 380bhp. Stage 2, is simply the same as stage 1, but adds a 3" exhaust for higher output, 280 - 320bhp is possible depending on tune. Maximum flow for this turbo is 380bhp. Stage 3, uses a "Billet" compressor wheel in the same housing as stage 1, the billet wheel provides approx 20% increase in flow. We rate this set up as 280 - 440. This is the kit we used throughout 2014 on our GT86R, making 421bhp on stock engine and around 460 on a built engine. Maximum flow for this turbo is 470bhp. Stage 4, uses a larger Billet compressor wheel and larger turbine wheel with internal changes to the turbo for increased flow. Also included is larger intercooler and up pipe. Rated at 400bhp upwards. We will be testing this early next year and our target is 520 - 550bhp. Kit specifications are available on our website. Other Products Advised for all turbo kits: Breather System (199 + vat) 3 bar map Sensor & overboost fuel cut (89.95 + vat) Optional Upgrades for all kits: Electronic Boost Control (150 + vat) This includes the EBC valve, wiring and map upgrades using 10 custom race rom maps to allow closed loop boost control, boost is switchable via cruise control stalk and both throttle angle and gear dependant. Temperature safety maps are also included and boost is only allowed to increase if oil, water and air temps are within safe parameters. Dump Valve: There are a few options here, you can use an OE recirculating type available for £20 off ebay/scrappy etc. Or we have the Avo polished alloy one which can be configured as recirculating (quiet) or as a 50/50 for the whoosh! High Capacity Air Intake Kit Avo have developed their own airbox kit, crafted in carbon fibre and housing an induction type cone filter. The airbox includes a intake duct for cold air supply. More details soon. Exhausts: Avo exhausts are available in 2.5" & 3" depending on power goals, they are also available with or without cat, with or without resonators depending on exhaust note required. Anything else? Don't forget the stock clutch is all but useless when turbocharging, it is only just possible to use with the lowest spec turbo and even then its marginal! So factor in for an uprated clutch. Fitting Costs Turbo Kit Basic - install and map £750 + vat Turbo Kit + EBC, Clutch, Exhaust - install and map £995 + vat We'll update this thread with further news, pics and specs as we get them Any questions fire away Best Regards Adrian 4 Tweedbean, Keethos, chillismoke and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain G 25 Report post Posted January 14, 2015 Great breakdown of costs Fensport, done my first purchase yesterday, just a shark fin aerial, very impressed with the next day delivery, tracked and kept informed all the way. Look forward to spending more, with a turbo on the cards in July, when the the wife's away. Captain G 1 Fensport reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted January 15, 2015 Ian - you could put a Blitz mid silencer in the 3" AVO.... job done... Nigel - ( I fold arms, suck teeth, shake head, look pityingly..) - this is not a good idea... your lower scrogflange temp will definitely be suspect,.. Captain - a bit of f/I hmmm? Can you really, really, wait until July? .... you could always treat the missus to a weekend spa ( ), earns a codgel load of browny points and you can legitimately claim loss of memory whilst she was away... better still, you were abducted by Martians and mind-melded into doing it... Don't thank me, guys. We should all work as one team.... Spec K 2 Keethos and Stan Hawrylak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks for the feedback Adrian, glad you said get "the" body finished.. "My" body is well past it!!You say the Turbo is coming from Oz, is it following the yellow brick road, will it bring the Wizard with it? Seriously though.. I thought the kits were built in Thailand?Just one more question.. I thought you said on the phone the airbox came with the kit, whereas your site states it's an optional extra??

Stan Hawrylak 23 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Adrian, quick question. What's the highest bhp you can go to on a stage 4 without upgrading the internals? Assuming that exhaust / intake kit etc upgraded. Would upgrading the internals at those horsepower levels be beneficial anyway for the sake of longevity? Thanks. 1 Special K reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Stan, an easy question ..... to ask lol We haven't tested the stage 4 yet and the first 2 cars have forged engines but I reckon it would see over 420bhp on a stock engine on road fuel. Race fuel you could get over 500 easily and maybe much more ......... as to how long it would last ? The weakest link is the rod so you have to be careful of cylinder pressures! so yes upgrading the internals is a must for longevity Best Regards Adrian 1 Stan Hawrylak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bles 32 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 Hi Am looking at going Forced Induction in the future. Could you please let me know the general waiting time to have a stage 2 AVO turbo fitted by yourselves and also whilst waiting for funds to be available if it is worth fitting items such as the exhaust and air box in the mean time and what this would possibly do to the power output. Many Thanks Bles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many Thanks Bles Hi Bles, At the moment we are on a 3 week backlog for turbo fitting, stage 2 takes 3 - 4 days. Yes you can fit the exhaust now if your thinking of 2.5" system? The airbox can also be fitted at any time with a stock ecu, it will run a little leaner than stock, 11.8 instead of 10.8 which will net 5-8 bhp too Cheers Adrian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
