TT3 focused track build
I’m building a TT3 focused na miat out of my Champcar endurance racer. I had a good time endurance racing but running a team by myself was tough. I took the car to a track day in 2020 to see if I wanted to just do TT and the event director allowed me to run in HPDE4 to get evaluated for my TT sign off. I had a blast and decided that was the direction I was going to go. I also blew up the motor when the alternator mount broke off the water pump housing and it overheated.
Well the car has been off the track since for all the stupid reasons since then. While it has been down it has gotten many upgrades. Some of the big ones are a VVT swap, MS3Pro EVO ecu and an AiM data logger/dash. It’s almost back together finally and I’m hoping to get it dyno’d and to a track day before the end of the year.
Ok enough bullshit and the reason I'm here: I'm going turbo! I’ve got a couple vvt short blocks around. A blown jdm one cause I’m stupid, a low vacuum US spec and two more jdms. I had a buddy who imported a bunch of them and got a deal or two. I'll start with the blown block obviously I’m going to over build a motor to support the 240ish hp I’ll need for TT3 and up to the 400hp I would need for TT1. For the turbo I’m leaning towards a Kraken top mount kit with a 6258 but I’m tempted to get a 6758 so if I wanted to have a TT2 or even a TT1 tune I could have those on hand and wouldn’t be over running the 6258. The miat isn’t the best platform for TT1 from what I've been reading though. I would really like to be competitive in TT3. TT2/1 would be more for fun and extra track time. So rods, pistons, studs, etc. I’m not too concerned with the motor build. I really am looking for help with the turbo setup. Turbo size, intercooler size, all that.
I’ve run into some other technical issues with alignment setup but I’ll bring that up later when I beg for help with that.
