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

thank you Dave for giving Nigel a demo 
 
Nigel, we have some great news on the Avo front
 
for 2015 there will be 4 different turbo specs
 
Stage 1, Original turbo, 260 - 290
Stage 2, Original turbo + 3" exhaust, 280 - 320 ish
Stage 3, Billet Turbo, 280 - 400 ish
Stage 4, Larger Billet Turbo, larger intercooler and pipework, 400 upwards ( I'm hoping to crack 550  )
 
I'll start a thread and get specs, prices and pics asap

We had a great day out at Ecutek today, thank you for fitting us in for a power run this afternoon   Well pleased with the result ..... 421bhp and 350ft/lb torque   You can see by the torque curve we are feeding the boost in progressively and running a maximum of 1 bar on the completely standard engine! 108 ron race fuel is used to prevent det. Using the Avo Billet Turbo kit and our own custom 3" Blitz exhaust along with Blitz panel filter in the standard airbox! and our fuel pump and 540cc injector upgrade   pictures are better than words .....             I think you'll agree a very nice result   And a big thank you to Avo, Ecutek and all our sponsors and supporters   Best Regards Adrian

Yes sorry to Nigel about spamming your thread !!
 
yes the thermostat will be available seperately, just waiting for the price and part no before we can update our site

Some more info
 
The Cosworth supercharger and intercooler setup is good for 380Bhp and 450Nm, changes are required to the standard engine rods and pistons well before this though as you’re aware.
 
We do plan to offer a Cosworth bottom end at a later date and this will produce 330Bhp with the same supercharger and intercoolers as the 280 kit. There may also be a 380Bhp kit later.
 
The higher power kit will also require pulley changes to achieve the supercharger gearing and increase belt width  in order to drive the supercharger reliably.
But the plan is make it all bolt on, so 280 bhp kit owners can upgrade as required without buying  a new charger, intercooler, manifold etc
 
The current 280 kit boosts at about 0.55-0.6Bar with the charger running at about 15,500rpm, the charger is good for 24,000 rpm for occasional use and rated to run at 20,000rpm continuously, Cosworth have run these units up to 28,000rpm with no issues
 
Here's a graph of "in and out" temps

Huge thanks to everyone for coming yesterday it was great to see you all and what fantastic cars!!! Think there were 24 in total?
Was a good crack at night too .... loved the speech spec K
I didn't set the alarm either so brekky was a lonely affair at gone 10
We'll have to do it all again later in the year
Thanks again
Adrian

Hi Sideways,
 
Both the Helix and the Fidanza flywheel will work with all our clutches, standard and uprated
 
The Fidanza one is 0.6kg lighter than the Helix and you can change the friction plate which is cheaper than replacing the flywheel later in life.
 
Lauren has answered the "benefits" question nicely
 
Just to add ... although flywheels won't make horsepower they take less horsepower to accelerate which means the engine has more available power to send to the wheels
 
Best Regards
Adrian

Hi Everyone, here is Fensport Avo Turbo No 9  this time a manual car and going for stage 2 with electronic boost control and of course a clutch upgrade to handle the power

On the ramp and taking gearbox out     Gearbox out    Ready to re fit   Lightweight steel flywheel from Helix   Uprated clutch fitted with organic driveplate - keeps it nice to drive on the street   Oil cooler kit now developed for cars with intercoolers      This car has AP front and rear brake kits   Intercooler fitted   and turbo installed   ceramic coated and wrapped         Nearly there            and outside   looking awesome   1st mapping session done, a little more to do and it will be ready    

Rob .... she's washed and already for you 
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
and Beat Sonic rear spoiler fitted too 
 

 

 
 

Little update .... the 2nd cat has gone  it's so restrictive so it's binned!!
 
Stock exhaust is doing well though Will finish the mapping in the morning 

Hi All,We're off to a photo shoot and will be performance testing both GT86's tomorrow so will get 0-60 data etc for the turbo cars, will also have a standard GT86 from Toyota on hand for comparison and will let you know the results shortly :)Both cars will be on the cover and there will be full features in the mag very soon :)Cars ready to go ....
