Good work !

Looking good! What size injectors? I have 750cc for my build. They should be enough for the time being as I'm running a standard engine. Which turbo are you using? I have a garret gt35 but I will be making a sidewinder manifold.
Any estimated power figures?

[samco77on]

I'm using 750cc injectors with the stock pump to start with. then I will find the limit of the pump and upgrade to a proper fuel system.

As for turbo I will be using. T36 from turbo technics with a billet wheel.

More progress this week.

As for power figures. I aim for 400. But the pump will no doubt need changing before then.

[samco77on]

Right. Updates. 

Ive got all of the exhaust finished and had it polished up by a guy round the corner. Come up pretty nice. 







Also got my inlet back on with the fuel rail, injectors, and line adapters. 







And finally received my turbo. Complete with billet wheel. 





getting there now. Exhaust manifold is fitted now or the final time. Water feeds are made, oil feed and return will be finished tomorrow. Intercooler is back on Monday so boost pipes can be made. 

Loving it.

Hi mate I was the lad you picked the rpf1's up from, cars coming along nicely [smilie=karls_thumb.gif] you got much more planned for it?

[samco77on]

Ahh cool, how's yours going? Well when I get it running we will see what sort of power I can get with all the stock stuff. And then upgrade as necessary. And do some trackdays.

[phil10]

Yeah its alright, got a problem at the minute with the charger belt slipping but hopefully sort it soon. What sort of power you hoping for?

[samco77on]

Well the turbo is good for 430bhp. But will need a bigger fuel pump for that.

[phil10]

Sounds good, im hoping to do a few yrack days this year to, hopefully see you at some

[samco77on]

Right ladies and gents. Big update. 

Finally got some time on the car now that the race cars are built. 

Stayed until 4am this morning to get it done. I was on a roll so why stop. She runs on standard management, just so I could check for leaks etc. need to wire in the ecu and map it. Didn't take loads of pics. Will get more on Saturday. 

Downpipe lagged


Intercooler mounted


Lights trimmed




Stealthy enough?


Still waiting for my lambda, and air temp sensor to arrive. And just got a bodged together air filter on it for now. Going to try and get it done to drive to donington on Sunday as some mates are racing in the vag trophy.

Well I am over the moon. Car is up and running, mapped and taxed. Doing 370bhp at 13psi. 

Will get more pics and vids but here is a little one.

sounds sweet..

would you be better off cutting the bumper to get max air to that huge intercooler?..as it looks like only half is getting air to it.

That's a mahoosive cooler so part if it not being exposed wont make him loose any power.

I'm running 1.5 bar and my coolers only half the size of this one

Coming along nicely mate :cooldude:

[samco77on]

I'm trying to keep it looking as stock as possible at the moment. charge air temps are good even during a beating on the dyno so its ok at the moment.

I will cut holes behind the front plate for track use though.

A little video of it on the rollers the other night.

Awesome

[jonezy]

how does one get the pops and bangs?? you use an AEM ecu or how have you done this in kpro? or all natural?

[b3nn]

Good work! [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

[samco77on]

I have used a new standalone ecu that we are a dealer for. Called an emu. It is a very advanced ecu for the money. I will put more up about it later.

The pops and bangs are a launch control limiter.

Thanks Ben.
