Technical 135 Sporting Evo Owners!

[TJ07]

Not sure if I am just blind, but I cannot see a standard recirculating dump valve anywhere on the Evo. I’m pretty sure that the Grande T-Jet’s have them fitted as standard so why wouldn’t the Evo?... any ideas? Or can anyone see one on theirs?

It will be there mate, I cant see why then wont have one, but please dont say your fitting a blow off valve to her........

 

[TJ07]

Na, I’d just been changing the air filter on my old man Grande T-Jet and noticed that it has a completely different setup, cant see the valve anywhere on the Evo… weird!

 

[scoop987]

Its an entirely different turbo, (IIRC its an IHI turbo on the t-jets??). If i remembered my tools, I would have taken the heat shield off...

 

[TJ07]

Yeah, Garret on the multi-air and IHI on the t-jets.
I just didn’t realise that they had completely changed the actual set-up (boost pipes etc?!) as well. Maybe something to do with it being a more electronically controlled engine.

 

[scoop987]

Probably as the multiair engine is electro-hydraulic valve meaning complete variable timing. As for boost pipes, I wonder why they changed them? Different intercooler fitted to the evo as the boost sensor is identical as with the inlet manifold...

Oh, do you know the garret part number for the turbo?

I've added a link to the Garrett site below, you can do a search and find out all the tech spec of the turbo.

Thanks, Looks like I might be investing into a GT1446

 

[TJ07]

Found the dump valve!... its actually attached to the turbo unit itself.

 

[scoop987]

It is a garrett

(Sorry to hijack TJ)

Does anyone know if the abarth cat is the same as the sporting cat?

 

[TJ07]

I think the d-valve is a Pierburg.
Also not 100% but yes I think the cat on the abarth is the same.

Looks like I'll have to sweet talk my neighbour to take his heatshield off to look then...
