Hi Tombba, send an email to stefanhoogvliet AT hotmail.com and I can send you the tune. Beware of the E85! and the 1.4bar boost setting! cheers Stefan For the update: I bought a strengthened beetle gearbox to do an easy swap, but its winter now, so to damn cold to play with the car.

Mate, didn't went on the dyno..... Had surgery 2 days before, had a blocked caliper, AND! A troubleshooting crank sensor, there was no time left to fix it unfortunately... Im trying to get a Porsche 914 gearbox at the moment for a relatively quick swap, and good upgrade for now!

Broke the gearbox.... Mega squirt Flatshift.... where it went wrong... This came out of the gearbox after draining the oil Some people call it "a problem"....I call it Torque....

20th of july there will be a dyno run!

It's all about cooling guys....thats all sorted. Now we have to see what the limit of the internals will be 21st is the dynorun planned

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151369542161493&l=8086430030852797245 Launch @ 12PSI

Small update: Running 20PSI now.....this is insane! Much much smoother spool @20psi with the TD04, engine runs better when boosting. IAT is steady at 40* celcius. As long as it lasts, I am planning on a dynorun soon.... to be contiued

Hi O.C.D., thanks with the old setup (original turbo etc.) I was running 170HP @ 7.5psi (for what a dynorun is worth) Now I am runnig the above mentioned setup on 12psi, so I hope to be around 200hp. The EA82t is done for now, this is the max I am getting out of it. Last year I bought a Ej20t and a porsche 911 gearbox to "let the fun begin" but I wanted this engine to run perfect so I could drive and start on the EJ project. That is going to run around 300hp and I dont have to worry about my gearbox anymore. cheers, Stefan

Well guys, it has been a couple of years now but IT IS ONNN! (found this post by accident but I just wanted to let you know) Fitted: EA82t TD04L Mega squirt with launch control + Flatshift (antilag) 500CC injectors FPR @ 45psi with custom manifold Boost @ 0.8bar (12.5 PSI?) Chargecooler (max inlet temps were 40* celc.) Fuel: E85 The launch in the beginning sounds weird, wastegate spring is probably to weak. have fun

and? any results jet? cheers

@carfreak: So what are the mathematical calculated HP's? I know that the dyno tests are mostly not completely accurate. But even if I have 170hp I should not have powerloss so I knew that the dyno was wrong somewhere I'm running on 43 psi with the standard FP-regulator, thats what the gauge says. @Joost your forum name sounds familiair, I was on the S-Y forum aswell. I keep you updated on the Mega-Squirt, search google about the KDFI system, is new, cheap but my source says that it is nog as stable as MS. cheers!

Hi Joost, here you (and the other forum members) have a link regarding MegaSquirting the EA82T: Mega Squirt I already have a radiator 1,5 times the stock size (its from a VW t4 diesel), I have an oilcooler with fan in the front and I have a chargecooler for the cold air. So I hope cooling should be fine On which of the dutch forums are you active? cheers Stefan

@rxleone: I know...came to the same conclusion after the 1/4mile.... But then I was looking to all the costs that I have to make for the conversion. (let say engine:1000$ tranny:500$ trannyconversionkit:1500$) the tranny conversion kit is a kit whats makes your wrx/sti transmission fits in your beetle. So thats why I'm trying to get the EA82t running as smooth as possible. @ Steve W.Hi Steve, thanks for your reply! Do you have any pics of the Ghia? One question, why did you lowered your fuel pressure? You new injectors flow 380cc/min so when you lower your pressure thats gonna be less right? I can buy 280cc/min injectors @ 45psi, that would do the same as your in 25/35psi I reckon Did you ever do a Dyno session? In the upcomming years I would love to stuff a wrx or sti engine up his rump roast, but first I want this one to run smooth. I might even add Mega-squirt, and I can re-use that on my 'new' engine. cheers Stefan

Hey guys, I did a 1/4 sprint a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that al the torque was gone after shifting for 2nd to 3rd, especially on higher revs. What could be the problem? Injectors to small? inlet air to warm? turbo to small? Its running 170hp and 270nm at the moment. What are the first conversions that have to be made when tuning a EA82T? (I did an astonishing 16sec @ 130km/h.... ) I recently heard that the injectors from a 300zx will fit? whats the original flow from the ea82t injectors?) cheers Stefan

OW guys this is the dyno result. Dyno

Thanks guys! Thats what I meant by turning the turbo, the wastegate actuator has no use, so you could use an ext.wastegate. here's my beetle, I have very little room left. Stefan

How did you guys worked it out with the wastegate? Did you use an external or did you used the original and fitted different pipes to the TB? cheers

Hi Guys, I'm Stefan from the Netherlands and I own a '71 beetle with a EA82t engine. I want to get myself a TD04 turbo to fit my engine. Does anyone has any comparison pictures of the ea82t and the TD04 turbo so I know how much work it is to replace the turbo. Or is it bolt-on? Cheers Stefan
