marcAB10 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 facelift rears look a billion times fresher and better... as they always do great job there, will be interested to hear the numbers you make soon enough, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Here a quick pic of the finished work at Whifbitz. I have 40+ pics of the complete works that have been done. I will post them in the next days. The mapping was postponed to 3rd of May, as we had some problems with Gate's cambelts not working properly, and causing massive movement of the belt on the Titan cam gears .. which set us back by 6+ hours ; the result was that I missed the RV at TDi with Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ooh, I like the new mani, looks the biz!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Sucks about missing the mapping session, hope it goes well for you on the 3rd. Whats the new spec now then? I've read your hoping for 700bhp, is this still going to be on stock internals bar the cams? Engine bay looks very nice, Paul did a good job on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 What was the problem with the Gates belt? I have the same belt with Titan Cam gears and don't have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'd get a turbo blanket on there to protect the CF brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 It was really odd Steve ... we put the belt on the car and put everything together. When we started the car, the belt was moving heavily on the cam gears. We suspected one the the new pulleys or a tensioner to be faulty (I have a Whifbitz pulley set on the car now). We changed for another belt after a couple of hours, which had the same behaviour but less. When going for a stock belt, everything was fine. I guess it was a bad lot of Gate's belts The engine is still stock, although we added ARP bolts. I'm running HKS 264 cams (in and out). The water meth injection kit is installed (50%/50%) .. the plan is to go for 2 bar. The GReddy intake is welded on the lower stock runners. We didn't want to simply bolt it on, as the high boost could bring leaks. So Paul and Darren suggested to have it welded on the runners. Darren then suggested to get it painted black mat, which I really like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'd get a turbo blanket on there to protect the CF brace. Thanks for the info Nic ... I was talking to Paul about exactly the blanket during my stay, but with the problems, I was so pissed off that I missed my RV with Ryan that I forgot it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Looks nice mate, are you staying here till 3rd may? why not just go SRR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys. I came home Jamie, as there was no chance to have it dyno'd within the next days after Darren finished the work. Ryan suggested TDi, plus I wanted to give the hub dyno a try. I will travel back on 3rd of May early in the morning, and then get back the same day. I have to wait for 3 long weeks to have it mapped ... LOOONG time now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
