Rob_Mitchell Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 my build would prob be running if i didnt pee around with the chrome and gold plating. Your get there Scott, its good to take your time and its really showing as it look great mate. If you finish before me then something aint right ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 If I had a welder and the parts I need I would be finished already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Wife went to bed at 12 so I decided to head out and work on the car for an hour. Got a fair bit done. Turbo compressor housing cut Viscous fan fitted PS Cooler fitted Oil Cooler Fitted Intercooler Fitted New Radiator fitted Front Calipers removed (for refurb) With regards to the radiator, does this look normal? It looks silly high to me, the cap that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 coming along well bud, you got a fair but done last night eh. what kind of rad are you using, it looks ok to me, im sure mine sits that high also. will need to double check though.

Noz Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Looking sweet. Awesome build this. do you have any power goals mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Thanks guys, set my mind at ease with the rad. It looks crazy high compared to stock lol. Rob this is only a test fit really, most of the stuff will be coming back off. Saving the caps for the finished article as I don't want to lose them or scratch them. Take that as a compliment mate, they are stunning Going for around 700 for now Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got plenty of clearence between the return line and the turbo outlet/manifold, mine was very tight on my greddy mani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got plenty of clearence between the return line and the turbo outlet/manifold, mine was very tight on my greddy mani. Na my coil packs are fine mate. I did ask about the SS ones but was told not to bother. I've got hee-haw space on the return line mate. It's so bad that I had to rotate the cartridge round to make everything fit, it's an exact science lol. 1mm too much and it didn't come together properly. I was thinking about extending it out but that's how JP ran his and I don't think he had any issues. I've got an oil temp/pressure gauge so I'll keep an eye on the temps.

Bailey. Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I may be wrong but im sure the max said rotation is 15 degrees, lol, dont hold me to that mind, but if jamie had it like that for all that time it will be fine, i had a solid stainless line made up for mine, much like the standard greddy one, fits a treat. I thought my coil packs were ok but with a miss above 1.4 bar coil packs are only thing it can be as all else was changed. 700hp is going to be a nice shock to the system, almost double bpu power Keep the updates coming mate, love the work so far.

Noz Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 You lowering compression for that increase in power? Any idea what PSI your going to be running. Gonna be running sweet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'm just asking, I'm not up to scratch with 8.5 compression and how far you can take it that was all mate. I know you need to level your compression with NA's constantly I didn't know if jumping from BPU 400 to 700 would require a change in compression? I spose being able to lower a GE to 9.2 (ish) will allow you to get to 500+ it would make sense to be able to use 700hp with 8.5 TT stock compression. A general question as I'm a TT noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see there being any limit to the rotation of the housings as the faces of the cartrdige are the same all the way around. I'm guessing you are thinking of the angle of the oil feed & drain though? I've only clocked that a VERY small amount, certainly no further than JPs as the oil drain line is made to suit so it won't allow it to turn any further You lowering compression for that increase in power?

A general question as I'm a TT noob Na no change in compression required. The turbo is a much more efficient charge so there won't really be much of an increase in pressure to make loads more power. Power doesn't really relate to the pressure created by compression in the cylinders, it's the pressure and quality of the air intake charge that gives the bigger bang. I'm not sure how much pressure there is in the cylinders when running but an increase of 0.5bar isn't going to make hee-haw of a difference at stock compression. Once going to higher levels better internals are required though. The N/A is really high compression to have as a turbo car hence why it needs to be lowered. The 1.0bar increase of pressure can just push the N/A over the edge. I'm just going to run whatever PSI it takes to hit around 700hp I think the going rate is approx 1.7bar (25psi).

Bailey. Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Thats it scott, clocking is what i ment not roatation of the compressor housing. Amazing how much bigger the h cover is to the p, looks like a much bigger unit. sorry scott just catching up with this thread, did u add cams mate?

Geo Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 1.7 bar on that turbo mate, and your mods will be well into 750+ territory, mind mine is only a small .68ar im guessing you'll prob hit 700 at about 1.5bar. Loads to play with for more power later, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 It's a stock intake though Geo, that's going to hold me back a bit for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 It's a stock intake though Geo, that's going to hold me back a bit for now dont think will matter bud, loads of high powered cars are running the stock intake. your going to be surprised, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 dont think will matter bud, loads of high powered cars are running the stock intake. your going to be surprised, I'm going to be surprised anyway.

Could probably do with a look at the intercooler piping to see the best way to route it to be honest. You not taking her off road for the winter?

You not taking her off road for the winter? Cheers I've just garaged her bud, soon as its a dry, cold day i'll get her out for a blast, and i'll pop over if you want? can have a good look at the IC routing.

Scott Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yeah that sounds ideal mate. Don't worry about it if the weather doesn't pick up though, a pic or 2 will do fine in that case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 this going to be ready for pod next year then dude? im following this with much interest to see how you get on! we need more high powered singles up this side of the border Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
