Supercharged 205 track car *Rear Coilovers and 16x8" revolutions fitted*

[xsi16v]

Hi guys/girls

Thought it was about time i started a project thread of my latest build. The supercharger conversion is done now but a true project is never finished :y: I know a fair few people on here through other clubs etc. I have also dealt with a number of people as i supply/fit JP4 engines, do roll cages and other track preperation and welding work. For those that dont know me you may recognise my last project.

Supercharged xsi

Mid way through my xsi project i bought this...
206 gti 180 engined 205 running cams and ITB's. Fully track prepped with 202 bhp

All 3 cleaned :D

It wasn't just any car, it was built by a mate and myself a few years previous to my project. He managed to find a fully track prepped shell that only needed an engine. He didn't want to go down the old mi/gti-6 route because he wanted something different. In the end he decided on a 206 GTI 180 (EW10J4S) engine and found 1 that had covered only 500 miles when lifted from the 206. Im fairly certain it was the first 205 with this engine fitted, we contacted various peugeot tuning companies for info and all said it couldn't be done. To start with we had it running on the standard ecu and multiplex wiring which wasn't ideal. We then ditched that and ran it on a omex 100 and carbs (yes thats an engine with variable valve timing and carbs) It produced a healthy 197 bhp and 155lb/ft, we were over the moon. The smiles soon wore off so its back in the garage for cams, TB's and omex 500. This next setup made 202bhp and 167 lb/ft, not much gain for the money spent but it drove so much better and idled like a standard car.

After a couple of years and plenty of trackdays my mate decided it was time for a house :homme: So much of my own time and effort went into the car i couldn't resist buying it. I was half way through my 106 project at the time and kept at it for another year. Having such a good all round track car i always had doubts in my mind wether the 106 could be a match for the 205, deep down i knew it wouldn't. I decided to break the 106 and keep a few of the good parts.


In the last 3 years i have owned the car its had a full respray, a few extra sets off wheels and just general tidy up. It may be a track car but its my aim to keep it mint, the shell was dry stored for a number of years be for my mate bought it so not single bit of rust any where.

How it looked after the respray

At the end of summer 2011 i decided to strip the car down and rebuild everything. That included fitting a few goodies that i kept from breaking the 106.

New parts are...

Rotrex c30 94 supercharger
Custom Bracket
Omex 600
Omex race loom
Cobra suzuka pro buckets
Sabelt 6 point harnesses
FSE adjustable FPR
Siemans 660cc injectors
Forge alloy rad
Forge intercooler
Forge recirc
Mocal oil cooler
Weber AFR gauge

Love this mate, so clean

[xsi16v]

While i was busy with all the fabrication and bodywork i sent everything away to be blasted and poweder coated. All parts have been re-fitted using stainless bolts :homme:

The 206 Gti 180 exhaust manifold is a work of art standard. When we first did the conversion it was running a 2.25" exhaust so thats what size flange we used. Im now changing that for a 3" so off with the old and on with the new...

[JoshB]

That's a standard 180 manifold?! That is sexy!

Awesome car and I'm so glad you're looking after the bodywork, I hate to see proper classics like this get ruined.

Just a quick question, are they 16" Nimrods on your old Saxo?

[BBM]

I love 205's

[Andy_K]

Saw this the other week. Incredibly mint. Think I actually fell in love with it a little bit :homme:

[AlexB]

the few times ive seen this ive allways wanted to steal it from you

now i think i might have to come round there and take it by force haha!
massive respect for the build matt and i need to see it in the metal now

[rorz_vts]

this is one sexy looking 205 very nice mate

[MiniGibbo]

Looks ace, you on drivers?

[Liam_]

Went like shit off a stick at Cadwell with the bodies/ carbs/ whatever, really impressive motor.

Any luck getting the SC belt issue sorted?

Im 99% sure its sorted, although i was 100% in the first place lol. Its always a problem when its not a road car, the only time i get to test it is on a trackday!

When we first did the engine conversion i fabricated a small box to hold the gear selctor box. The selector boxes are pretty bulky and i needed more room in the tunnel for the new 3" exhaust so raised it up as high as possible.

http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i461/106xsi16v/Superchaged%20205/09102011542.jpg

The car doesn't run any of the original instruments so i ripped apart the loom and cut it down to the bare minimum. Managed to fill 2 shopping bags of excess wiring so a good bit a weight off

haha, cheers andy. Hows your coming along?

[Andy_K]

Slow progress due to lack of time. Hoping to spend some time on it next weekend

[turbomad]

nice like my 205 rallye but its a 106 gti engine supercharged what power you aiming for?

[xsi16v]

Here's the 75mm TB im using, its from a 3 series bimmer. Had to trim a few bits down and also modify the spindle to accept a vauxhall yoke. I like the vauxhall cable because it has a push on ball fitting instead of the bike brake type end. Also a vauxhall vectra cable was perfect length. I cut the top part of the vectra pedal off and welded it too the 205 pedal for a OE fit

[dannygti]

Stonking Matt! Lovely it of kit and looks well put together.

How much power it make @wheels?

[xsi16v]

270 @ the wheels Danny

[dannygti]

Bet it's ballistic mate, does it feel fast?

[xsi16v]

oh yes! Im yet to drive it properly but i got a few laps in at cadwell and it was mental.

The mapper wants me to do a forged solid lifter spec engine as it was still making power at the limiter. Saw near 350 bhp but had to drop the limiter to keep boost levels/power down.

[Jamie]

Love love love this car!

Bet it's shit quick with that engine in alone, let alone what you have done.

I want your engine in my car haha! VVT @ 2.5k with SC must be interesting!

[xsi16v]

Love love love this car!

Cheers mate. I like to think im flying the flag for these engines (in this county anyway) as they are really under estimated! Nobody wants to fit them never mind mod them. DP have built some tasty turbo ones though :D

Thought it might be haha

Steve (s1 s/c 16v) went all out with solids and mega revs and he said his felt flat until really revving but you have more capacity in your favour. Certainly be nice to see/hear :)

Would love to see this at a trackday, you got any planned in march time?

[xsi16v]

Weather dependant i might do some. I tend not to book this time of year, take the risk of it being fully booked and just go down on the day normally.

That was my main concern. I dont want it flat just for big power figures. I have looked into things and it seems you would need twin chargers with different gearing. Same as a twin turbo setup really.

[dannygti]

With the way you have routed the rotrex it's RIPE for some compound charged love! Would work soo well

Btw, you get my txt mate?

[Jamie]

Cheers mate. I like to think im flying the flag for these engines (in this county anyway) as they are really under estimated! Nobody wants to fit them never mind mod them. DP have built some tasty turbo ones though :D

So true all the 206 boys don't bother modding them always going on about how the Gti 138 engine is better to mod and get power from ect.

I believe it's mostly down to how the multiplex system works, no one has a 180 with aftermarket management because they loose all functionality, where as for you, you don't need it lol

I agree with it being very underestimated! People think they are slow until they get shown otherwise lol!

[JakeyBoy91]

Nice work mate, look forward to seeing the finished project! looks crazy!

[Jay_]

fucking, MEGA!

[Gandi699]

Could eat your dinner off that engine and bay, nice thread. Plus that red vts on the nimrods looks rather tasty too

[TypeRDavid]

Mental!

[Oli-VTR]

that engine bay all together and clean is absolute perfection, looks the dogs knackers

[crisppug]

awsom build matt,realy nice to see it complete :)

i remember you baffling my head about the vvt,when you were near completion of the build.

[Matty16v]

Tasty project, will be subscribing to this thread and keeping my eye on any new photo's or video's that may surface ;)

[xsi16v]

Thanks for the comments guys. The thread is just about upto date now, below is a lits of what im working on now.

1) New exhaust as the current 1 is too loud!
2) New brackets for the AP brakes
3) 8 rib pulley setup
4) General weight saving (alloy pulleys, poly windows and maybe some fibre glass panels)

[turbomad]

is it you selling the system on drivers?? i was interested but to big for my car :(

[Andy_K]

Have you been speaking to Lynx about the 8-rib bits? Or sourcing your own?

[jeffchiz]

car is awesome mate, it was my housemate that bought your old morettes btw lol

[miamibluebaby]

Matt you are a very skilled man haha (im just jealous) fairplay to you for cracking on with it, truly unique project glad its come together, for now...

how much more power are you after?? and how much will actually be usefull?

Great stuff though!

[xsi16v]

:oops: Cheers mate

Well power wise im already pushing my luck at 306 bhp from a standard engine. Without going down the forged route all over again im not going get any more.

Lets see how long it lasts, if its a while then ill just keep dropping standard engines in, can pick them up for a decent price!

[Bandy]

Love this , always had a soft spot for 205's ( had 2 ) and with the engine and mods must make this one weapon to drive! with handling to back it up as well

[xsi16v]

is it you selling the system on drivers?? i was interested but to big for my car :(

Yeah it is. Its a shame its too loud as its sounds mint, was just over the noise limit at cadwell!.

Would be ideal for a turbo car as the turbo will take up most of the noise.

[xsi16v]

Have you been speaking to Lynx about the 8-rib bits? Or sourcing your own?

Ill be getting the 8 rib pulleys machined but the reat of the kit ill be doing myself.

[scot-ish]

thats a tidy car, i was hoping to build a big powered 205 next year with a 4efte just to be different.

engine bag is tidy.

[xsi16v]

Made my new exhaust over the weekend using Magnaflow boxes and a selection of custom madrel bends made to my specs. Its identical to the previous one i made but has larger boxes to muffle the sound better.

Those brakes look amazing!

[xsi16v]

Those brakes look amazing!

sure do, im very happy with them. Being AP's im sure they will perform aswell, cant wait to test them :D

[xsi16v]

Time for an update.


Been taking the car to a private road to get some mileage on the new exhaust and brakes. Im really happy with the exhaust note and the brakes are something else!!! :D

Will be having a heated screen and polycarb window kit fitted in the next few weeks. Once they are in ill be getting the car weighed. Im hoping for sub 850kg, if not the grinder and hole saw will be out ;)

[Andy_K]

Is the car running ok now Matt? Sorted the belt slip issues out?

[xsi16v]

Yes ive sorted it with some new and different positioned pulleys. It wasn't slip is was wondering. The main problem (i think) was the fact i wasn't using an auto tensioner to take up the slack.

[Roper]

I've only just found this Matt, nice build mate. I'll have to pop round when I get mine finished.

[KamRacing]

nice to see someone build a custom exhaust with mandrel bends rather than welding universal parts.

[kevhoust]

Looks like the conversion was very well thought out, looks really neat. Will be checking back on this from time to time to read more

[qrty]

New exhaust? Seen pictures of yours sold on PH's! :detective:

[xsi16v]

New exhaust? Seen pictures of yours sold on PH's! :detective:

yes, slightly smaller bore and much bigger boxes to keep the noise down. Was 108db static at cadwell hahaha

Polycarb windows have been fitted today. Will be doing the heated front screen tomorrow :D

[qrty]

Any pictures? Last one looked awesome! :y:

My bad, just thought that was the one on PH ha! :P

[jpsaxo]

Have you had it weighed yet Matt? Sounds like its nearly ring ready ;) :D

[xsi16v]

no josh. I went to my local scrappy but there scales are only calibrated to the nearest 10 kg :/

Think a trip to mallory is in order, you had yours done there didn't you?

[xsi16v]

Few pics of the progress over the few days

Side widows in

Single wiper to save some weight!!

http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i461/106xsi16v/Superchaged%20205/24042012726.jpg

Still need to wire up the screen, going to run it from a fused relay which should be here in a few days.

Rear screen isn't fitted yet as im not sure if im going for a fibreglass tailgate yet.

[jpsaxo]

no josh. I went to my local scrappy but there scales are only calibrated to the nearest 10 kg :/

Think a trip to mallory is in order, you had yours done there didn't you?

Yep! I can use there weight bridge any Monday afternoon and it does it to the nearest 0.5kg which is awesome, you'll have to come down with me when my cars done Matt

Mate yours cars are epic!

Cheers mate :D


Wired in the front heated screen today and its mint, should of had one in my life years ago!!!.

Last thing on the list is a single seater style wing mirror just for the drivers side. 205 wing mirrors are fairly heavy so have to go. Will order some carbon sheet for the base plate to which the mirror just screws on.

[Lewis]

These builds always blow me away the sheer level of craftsmanship. Incredible! :)

[xsi16v]

Had a awesome weekend at Santa pod. The car ran spot on and im really happy with the times. I was expecting low 13's but really wanted to break into the 12's. First run i took it steady as its the first time the car has had a good thrashing really.

I hit the target on saturday after a few runs with a 13.1 @ 114 mph. Then came the 12.9 which made my day.

I wasn't going to run today but because the weather was better i thought i'd give it a go. After a fiddle with tyre pressures for some extra grip my best time was a 12.7 @ 117mph

Im not sure how the times compare with the big power 106/Saxo's???. I have to keep reminding myself thats the engine is standard and its only running low boost (9psi)


Video :D

[dannygti]

Good time there, would be much faster of you changed gear before it hit the limiter ;)

Also looks like it needs some more revs at the end of the strip bit tbh, for a car that's not setup for drag racing that's a good time

[xsi16v]

Not really when it makes full power at the limiter ;) I know what your saying though but its impossible not to hit first and second, third comes in so quick and 4th is right on the limit. Changing into fith was slower, i did try it.

Your correct there, the rev limit was dropped to keep boost and inlet temps down. A bigger intercooler is next so once thats on i will be putting it back to 7500rpm.

Still changing gear before it hits the limiter will make you faster.

I few more revs will see you better times, but it's already very fast. Thought that changing will make you slower.
Any outside vids?

I dont but 1 of the lads i went with has 1. Ill get it uploaded when i get it off him.

[Tom5190]

Had a awesome weekend at Santa pod. The car ran spot on and im really happy with the times. I was expecting low 13's but really wanted to break into the 12's. First run i took it steady as its the first time the car has had a good thrashing really.

I hit the target on saturday after a few runs with a 13.1 @ 114 mph. Then came the 12.9 which made my day.

I wasn't going to run today but because the weather was better i thought i'd give it a go. After a fiddle with tyre pressures for some extra grip my best time was a 12.7 @ 117mph

Im not sure how the times compare with the big power 106/Saxo's???. I have to keep reminding myself thats the engine is standard and its only running low boost (9psi)


Video :D

http://s1095.photobucket.com/albums/i461/106xsi16v/?action=view&current=Movie_0001.mp4

Video looks good, times are good. We had a 280hpN/A 205 at 12.4 & a 205hpN/A 106 at 13.1

What did Matts 205 turbo do??

[Tom5190]

What did Matts 205 turbo do??

I'll be honest and say im not 100% sure but low 11's i think ?

Edit: there is a video of an 11.2 on youtube

[xsi16v]

Good time really. Just shows how much more power you need to save only a second!. Thats what you get with FWD!!

[Tom5190]

Good time really. Just shows how much more power you need to save only a second!. Thats what you get with FWD!!

Yea you do need alot more power for a small amount of time! or in my case most likely more time at the gym haha. subscribed to this :y:

[xsi16v]

haha.

Are you still working at pug1off then?

[Tom5190]

Not really at the minute im at uni i only work there part time sort of when im free and when theres work and havnt really been in since christmas this year. Im in my final part of the corse im doing so got loads of essays and tests hopefully ill be back in there full time over summer!

[Dave_P]

Im not sure how the times compare with the big power 106/Saxo's???. I have to keep reminding myself thats the engine is standard and its only running low boost (9psi)

I don't have a big power 106 but a lightweight n/a 1.6, you've done the same time as i managed... a 12.7. :y:

[dannygti]

What was your terminal speed dave?

[Dave_P]

110mph.

[dannygti]

110mph.

You must get off the line like a shot!! That dogbox really does help with those fast changes also.

[Dave_P]

That & hillclimb slicks...although it was damp.

[xsi16v]

whats your 60ft times dave??

[Dave_P]

Dunno sorry.

*edit*
I found some times from USSC 2011 when i was on road tyres...

Best 60ft was 2.187, not too bad for a WW2 runway with no grip...

http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/showdrag.php?RID=29&EVDate=2011-10-16

[xsi16v]

my best was 2.2.. thats on a proper strip with A048's. I'd image your under 2 now??

It just goes to show it doesn't matter what power you have got, most important is getting it off the line or you are just playing catch up!!

Im happy with my 12.7sec though, to say its built for track and not drag racing/sprints.

[xsi16v]

Well i was more than happy with the way the car performed at FCS, the car pulls hard and the brakes are just awesome :D

Really annoyed i was black flagged 3 times for noise so had to keep off the throttle on certain parts of the track. Im going back to the drawing board again with the exhaust, hopefully 3rd time lucky!.

Was really good to meet some new people and put faces to some names :y:

Here is some pics of the car on track (thanks to nicole)

[Ryanoo]

Nice to see in you drag run the other person didn't overtake you ;) (assuming there was another person there?)

This car is a real gem mate, retained the standardness of it while making it absolutely rapid.

The engine bay made me jizz a little, wish mine looked as chromey/clean as that lol. Those rims look really good too, what are they?

Two thumbs up.

Do you have a 0-60 time for it?

[xsi16v]

Cheers mate, no i dont have any 0-60 times. I dont have a speedo either so cant even take a guess.

Wheels are Rota Attacks, 1 of the lightest around in the size and fitment.

[harry289]

Are those my old Rota's? Just refurbed in that dark grey colour? They looked lush at FCS :)

[MuZiZZle]

this thing was flying at FCS, and now I know why!

wowzer!

[bobertmate]

this makes me happy.

[Tom5190]

looked good on track matey, black flags were pretty harsh on a few others too.

[BIG]

This was literally a plane at FCS made some turboed cars look silly.

Love It :D

[xsi16v]

Are those my old Rota's? Just refurbed in that dark grey colour? They looked lush at FCS :)

Yes they are mate. Cheers

[rushy_23]

Wow and I thought your 106 was insane!

[xsi16v]

Wow and I thought your 106 was insane!

Haha, was never going to be as this!. How are you anyway? Did you sell your car in the end?

[nyter1d3r4]

How did you manage to get the VVT to come in at 2.5k? Was that on standard pulleys? Thinking of putting an Omex600 on mine with R1 bike carbs with standard cams and VVT

[scottie_436]

Pod run looks awesome matt!

What spec was the jap crap you ran against :D

[Mrjayware]

Looks well nice, Bet its proper quick aswell!!

[xsi16v]

Its switchable on the omex at any RPM, just need to switch it at the most suitable point. Im running standard pulleys, you can only change the exhaust cam on these engines which is pointless.

[xsi16v]

Time for a small update

Progress has been slow over the last few months due to building a new garage and workshop. Its been the main priority but will be worth it in the end :D

http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i461/106xsi16v/36609_10151142659618989_1065971202_n.jpg

This was 5 weeks ago, its more or less finished now!.

Still managed to make a few changes to the car ready for a trackday at Cadwell. Temps were slightly high at donington (fcs) so ive made some air ducts from old headlights. I have also fitted a water intercooler spray which work really well. Its controlled manually at the mo but will eventually work out away for the ecu to work it.

A pic from Cadwell

Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dv6T3T_JNs&feature=player_detailpage

Really happy with the way the car performed, had loads of people come over asking questions. The highlight of the day was pushing a 530bhp new skyline out the way down the straight. I was waiting all day to have a play with it haha.

Had the car weighed aswell, came in at 816kg. Works out at 375bhp per ton :D

[frenchcarparts]

That things just crazy!! nothing stood a chance! what power are you running?

[Dave_P]

Please get a MSA licence and do some hillclimbs with this car. :)

[saxova]

Things a animal!!

That whine is annoying though. Probably sound's awesome in person - but painful on video :y:

[xsi16v]

Its the recirc passing air at closed throttle, you can run the s/c without one but i dont like the idea. It is annoying but you get used to it. Sounds like a jet from the outside not a car lol. Ill upload a vid.

[dannygti]

love it matt, goes really really well. sounds awesome too.
rotrex may be the future :)

[xsi16v]

Your right there Danny, from the c38 range instead of the 30 though ;)

[blackie_2k5]

i do love this car

not many decent 205s about..but yours ceratinly makes up for the lack of them

[dannygti]

Your right there Danny, from the c38 range instead of the 30 though ;)

your right there,,, i think santa may be bringing me a c38-91 for christmas ;)

im well impressed with the pace of your motor matt, whats it revving too?

[Andy_K]

Can't believe how quickly it makes ground on things round the track!

[xsi16v]

It does pull really well and uses every bhp it can. My main aim was to keep it drivable and you can see from the video theres hardly any wheel spin on acceleration!.

Reving upto 7600rpm again Danny, the extra 600rpm makes the world of diference :D

A short outside vid from Cadwell, its the only 1 my mate got from the first few warm up laps.

it sounds like its revving more, sounds great.

how much more power do you think you could have before it starts getting wild? what size tyres are you using?

[Beaniemoo]

Was chatting to Josh (JpSaxo) today and he made me aware of this thread.
I was a Cadwell for that trackday in the White Mk1 Clio and I saw your 205!
I couldn't believe how fast, and most of all how loud your car was!
An amazing car and I love the video!
I think if you look carefully you can see my Clio on the horison passing the Evo at the end of the main straight towards the end of the video, but you go in the pits before you caught me.

[xsi16v]

it sounds like its revving more, sounds great.

Its about 325 bhp @ fly now. I'd say 360-70 or 300bhp @ wheels is the limit. I dont see why any small fwd trackcar would need anymore than that.

Im on 195/50/15 A048's. Considering the common 309 track conversion with some 15x8 compomotives and wide arches. That way i can run 205 or even 215's. Some say its not really needed on a light car but my tyres were red hot after 10 laps, i wont have any problem getting heat into wider ones.

Thanks for the comments, you planning on going again soon?. When josh's car is finished we all need to book on :y:

matt, wash your mouth out :D we want more than that so its completely bonkers haha nothing wrong with that lol..

id say go for it mate, with the way the car is now you are moving onto the next level in terms of performance and when you improve other things you will find you will crave more and more grip. get those wide tyres on :)

whens your next trackday? i wouldnt mind getting a pax ride

[xsi16v]

Please get a MSA licence and do some hillclimbs with this car. :)

Ill be giving it some thought in the near future. Got fair bit to get sorted on the car when i find the time!

[xsi16v]

haha, trust me its more than enough for any track in the UK. I cant fault the handling and brakes, a bit more grip out the corners so i can get on the power earlier would be nice. Thats where the wider tyres should help. If i can sort that then a bit more power could be useful :D

Nothing booked yet, had no problems after last time so shouldn't be too far away :fcuk:

Ill post up when the next 1 is

i know matt, ive been in some nippy cars too ;)

not many disadvantages to more grip really. you still use the a048?

you could look into a boost by gear function if you did decide you wanted a little more, but i suppose you would have to change a lot of your current spec

ok cheers

Yeah although ill be open to options as its never on the road!. They are the best all-rounder though, been really impressed even in the rain!. Last thing i want to be doing is buying 2 sets of 15x8's and a 2 sets of tyres :wall:

[dannygti]

Lmao!!! Fair play. That is all

[xsi16v]

Lmao!!! Fair play. That is all

haha, i take it you have heard the latest from the RR day??.

[xsi16v]

Went to dynodaze rolling road day yesterday. Wanted to see what the recent changes have made to the power.

Because it makes max power at the limiter i can adjust the power to what i want. The car made well over 340bhp when mapped but i only ever quoted figures of what the car made with the lowered limit (306bhp@7000rpm) Now i have sorted the inlet temps issue i was happy to raise the limiter back upto 8000rpm for the rolling road day.

Since it was last on the rollers for mapping i have made 3 changes

1) smaller exhaust system 2.5" insted of 3"
2) Bigger air filter pipe on the inlet of the charger
3) Raise the limiter

I was expecting 330-340bhp so was a bit shocked when this happened

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td04G2EChpU&feature=player_detailpage

374bhp so with the current weight thats 458bhp per ton :D

[scottie_436]

Awesome matt :D

[jpsaxo]

What a beast!!! :D

[xsi16v]

cheers lads. Got some vids of your car josh, want me to upload onto fb or your project thread?

[harry289]

Nice flame too :)

[dannygti]

So you've fitted a smaller exhaust??

[xsi16v]

Yes, first 1 was a overkill at 3". Been told by a few race exhaust builders that 2.5 is plenty big enough for 400 when no turbo is involved :)

I still have 3" off the manifold and about 600-800mm of downpipe

[dannygti]

Yea id say anymore power you'll be wanting 3" through.. Otherwise you will start reatricting it which will make it much louder. What sort of silencer/backbox arrangement have you got? Is it still too loud?

[mk1vts1]

that is just a demon! love it!!! :y:

[xsi16v]

Yea id say anymore power you'll be wanting 3" through.. Otherwise you will start reatricting it which will make it much louder. What sort of silencer/backbox arrangement have you got? Is it still too loud?

There will never be anymore, im actually dropping the limiter back down to a sensible 7250rpm. No point in having all that power and popping a rod through the block after a few laps. Dont forget this is a standard engine running standard compression :fcuk: I think my mapper was spot on though, forged engine would see 450bhp easily. Food for thought haha.

As for exhasust size, i was told the opposite. Smaller bore will be quieter, seems to make sence to me. Unless its far too small and causing massive restriction like you said??.

Using the same size boxes (as big as i can fit) it actually dropped the noise by 11 db static. Theres obviously more packing on a box with a 2.5" bore than a 3" so that will help!.

Anyway, i was fine at cadwell but its 105db there and they dont really enforce it. A lot of people commented on how loud it was so i have (REVISION 3) exhaust being delivered tomorrow. Had enough of f*cking about with straight through boxes so im going for a chambered design.

Are the engines expensive? If not just buy a block and build it up over time..can never have too much power and I told you a way to make it more drivable even though you have more power..


Restriction is bad, the energy that would of been used to expell the gasses is now being turned into heat and sound energy.. That's only if there's a restriction like you say..

I'm making me a new exhaust soon, that will also be a challenge to keep quiet but I have a plan :)

[xsi16v]

not really expensive, ill pick one up if its going cheap!.

Tbh, im fed up with exhausts now. Dont know how other people dont have the same problem on s/c cars. Its different with turbo's as they drop the noise by a fair amount.
Thats why im just going to bite the bullet and fit a chambered box, if it losses a few ponies i dont care, its almost certain to work and at least its not going to cause me any more issues at trackdays.

[dannygti]

If you have plenty of space under the boot floor then it's easy, just fit a twin loop backbox but the biggest you can fit in.. Or get a custom made box done similar to what you'd find on m3's, porsche's

[xsi16v]

thats REV 3 ;)

[jpsaxo]

cheers lads. Got some vids of your car josh, want me to upload onto fb or your project thread?

Can you send them to me on iMessage mate? It's free so won't cost you anything :)

[Proffitt]

Amazing build :D

[xsi16v]

While i have 5 mins i thought i'd update the thread.

Towards the end of last year i finally mananged to build an exhaust that keeps the noise under 98db. I had no choice other than to fit a chambered style box. It has added some extra weight but needs must!!. Unfortunately on the same day i tested the exhaust i stripped the teeth off 3rd in my gearbox at Donnington :(

Ohhh Dear

I knew this would happen sooner or later asking so much of a standard engine!. I was very suprised to see the piston has actually come off the rod, i was expecting the usual snapped rod or rod bolt.

A new forged engine is in the process of being spec'd, there isn't much on the market for these engines so it will all be custom 1 off parts. I wont go into spec untill its built but im expecting well into the 400 bhp mark.


While i wait for the engine i have a few alterations to do on the car so i can put the extra power on the tarmac. Ill be looking at changing spring rates, fitting adjustable lower arms and rear turrets.

New wheels aswell....

16x8 Revolutions (225/45/16 tyres) and wide arch kit

http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i461/106xsi16v/3111E8EE-08AE-4137-A1C6-C724E9648126-9219-00000CA139810196.jpg

Should provide the extra grip required :)

[Chr15]

It was overdue forged internals anyway ;)

Loving it!

[crisppug]

That engine did well diddent it realy. Was great to see you at donnington them few times matt,jee those mods sure will make it even more of an animal �� hopefully see you soon bud. Lets hope between us we have some reliable track days.

[AlexB]

matt

those rims :sweetheart:

this makes me want to get my 205 started even more now :(
only had it 3 years haha....

[mattrallye]

Awesome build mate.

[xsi16v]

matt

those rims :sweetheart:

this makes me want to get my 205 started even more now :(

Look awesome dont they. Cant wait to get the fitted and the arches on :)

[PJN]

love this build mate, will be even more of an animal when it's forged! hope you manage to get it sorted for the ring, will be awesome round there!

[KamRacing]

When are you thinking of doing the rear suspension. I may be selling a 309 beam already converted to turreted suspension, its got the shocks and is reconditioned with only 4 or 5 trackdays on it.

We are looking at something a little lighter, but it will take a couple of months to sort.

Kev

[timmythechef]

Love the wide ass rims.

[Jamie]

Your car is amazing. Bar the exhaust pipe :P.

Bet it shifts like no ones business! The 180 lumps are awesome :)

Awesome.

[xsi16v]

Awesome.

Its a trackcar not showcar ;) That 3" pointy down is function over form!!

[turbomad]

The exhaust tip is amazing my 8v turbo 205 was the same.

I just picked up a 2.1 8v turbo 205 fully forged the box didn't even last a day what box do you run?

[xsi16v]

Gti 180 be4

[kb_pricevtr]

i remeber chatting to u at FCS in the pits about this car! awesome stuff mate!

[turbomad]

Have you broke any yet? How much torque have you got

[AlexB]

Look awesome dont they. Cant wait to get the fitted and the arches on :)

Itll look epic
I was going to go 8j compomotives on mine i definatly think i will now haha

[xsi16v]

Have you broke any yet? How much torque have you got

Yes, go back a page an you will see!!. It has around 250 lbf.ft so not big numbers compared to the turbo boys that seem to be getting away with it. I have only broken 1 so far but it spent its entire life on track!

[leightoncavey]

Looking sweet mate

[turbomad]

Mine has 311 lbft so don't know what to go for pug1off sell a box for 3.5 k but it is only guarantee'd to 300 lbft so was thinking a box from another car constella seem to be the folk for that

[xsi16v]

Ford sadav box or 1.8 20v VAG box would be the best to go for!.

Its a lot of work when you could fit a dog gearkit for around 5k

[turbomad]

Yeah just a shame Peugeot box's are made of chocolate

[xsi16v]

Kev

Soon i hope, got a few other things to sort first. Its something i want to do myself and i dont really want 309 width. I'd like some pics though if you dont mind ;)

[Daz_Kez]

Nice to see some progress mate! Progress on my Quiksilver is still a little slow at the moment. :-(

The welding is holding up though ;-)
So thanks for that haha!

[dannygti]

Looking forward to seeing this done Matt, I way a pax lap next time though :D

[chrisrallye5]

well have a chat with pug1off as the turbo 205 was running 500lbft but i know that gearbox was a lot.

[xsi16v]

Update time!

Ill let the pictures do the talking. Its taken a long time getting this done, all that's left is some testing to try out different spring rates. I'm currently running 400lb at the rear and 500lb upfront but I have plenty to choose from. The forged engine build is taking a little longer than we expected so I have fitted another standard lump for now. Its not something to be rushed and it'll be worth the wait :D

This looks like a true beast. Great fabrication work aswell! Nice.

[Gandi699]

I second the above posts, this is a great credit to you as it looks awesome. Oh and probably performs in the same way too!

[Ross]

Epic work Matt - well done. Looks awesome!

[dannygti]

Definitely one of the best/quickest fwd track cars out there. Like how you just get stuff done mate... Would love to get a ride in it at some point.

[Hazmanscoop]

PORN!

those wheels are perfect for it and the stance is brilliant.

Top work!

[Oli-VTR]

fantastic looking car, top spec as well

[jpsaxo]

think all the above comments sum it up - just an awesome car all round tbh! Cant wait to see this tear up at the ring :D

[Lewis]

Looks so aggro :P

[xsi16v]

Thanks for all the comments guys :)

Danny- you know me, i get things done and ill have a go at anything. Its all a learning curve and if it doesn't work just try again!!. I remember the day i was worried about fitting my first set of lowering springs lol

[Alanapone]

Looking simply amazing now!! How much work was it to figure and fab up those rear turrets!? Well worth it though. :y:

[Alanapone]

Any more pictures of the work you've done?

[xsi16v]

Looking simply amazing now!! How much work was it to figure and fab up those rear turrets!? Well worth it though. :y:

A fair bit of head scratching and plenty of tea consumed while I was working things out, theres nothing to complicated though if you have the fabrication skills and access to a machine shop!


That's about all the pictures I have mate. Ill have to update the thread over the next few months as big changes are on the cards ;)

Oi where's this update? A bit late Matt.

Hi. I have 206 GTI 180 with stock engine. I remapping develops 186 HP (Not catalizator here), I have several friends in theirs changing and modifying cam heasd, pistons, have achieved 205 HP. But lately I've thought about installing a Rotrex compressor to mine. Use only self Track Days and sometimes at de road. I do not need anything too furious. With 220 or 230 HP I am satisfied and also do not want to change too. I have seen little of these modifications, they are more normal in TU or XU engines. Since I see you've developed this proyect a EWJ4S like mine would like to ask you some questions. I was told to power I seek only be necessary to install a Rotrex C15, and a programmable ECU without changing cams, place intercooler and larger injectors. What do you think of this ?. I will also installing a Quaife differential. Any advice is appreciated. I live in Argentina, get parts is not easy and can not risk something not work. Thank you very much
