yeah will see after the cam change on saturday with the other stuff what difference it makes Martin, problem with the charade turbo is the exhaust flange opening is dead small and the taper the adapter to go into that is well small its going well atm but may change for a small sized turbo again poss just a T2 or a VNT one of some sort

right ok time for a few updates, decided as this is not fast enough the gti is getting boosted in its place hence the updates on the other thread with new build stuff. This in the next few weeks will be going to the garage to get the 1.4 16v fitted then will be using it more as a daily drive. Here is the job list

filler and paint spoiler
braided rear lines
lower brace
2 new tyres
Elise Seats & subframes
kurust underside of boot floor and hole in boot, zinc primer it all
sand down slam panel, strut tops and scuttle then paint

few pictures from before bit strange as it looks like the car is semi clean. Rolling on S1 RG 13s atm but seeing as it will be daily and everything must be cheap to renew if needed

Spot the I/C?

Needs to come down bit more

Whats this?

as Aly says 90bbhp standard but has same torque as a mk2 vtr, don't worry on the wheels for now i've managed to get the 13s for winter so will do for now.

ozsaxo · 14th November 2010, 22:02

nice car bud

Sophia_Bush · 16th November 2010, 21:59

ah ok chris, cheers oz

not much to update really ordered some tiger seal to do rear spoiler proper plus 2 tyres. Should be able to tick a few more things off the list this weekend oh I am also going to fit ABS aswell along with refit pas stuff in time

Sophia_Bush · 17th November 2010, 20:56

selection of stuff to stick on not all mind you

Sophia_Bush · 2nd December 2010, 15:10

got a few more things sorted for this to be fitted around the new year for a bit more power, seeing at the gti is going to take a fair while to actually get done the war horse is being used a bit longer.

So got a 90bhp silvertop vtr head (if dave finds one) 98bhp cam, mi16 injectors, S1 rallye inlet small things like but that with a bit more boost ie around 12psi should have a bit more power

Aly · 2nd December 2010, 15:21

Shit car,
Shit updates

Mods delete this thread please.
nah I love you Gav love everything you're doing

Sophia_Bush · 12th December 2010, 15:28

Same shit another day, having used the turbo for a week or so as the daily it's actually better on petrol than the gti even with the turbo over a full tank around another 40-60 miles which saves me about £10 ish a week

But seeing as the valve stems are going and not the piston rings (again) as first thought decision has been made to sell the C2 VTS inlet

and turbo kit off this

to fund the below

Got a few parts acquired for the new build, still few parts needed like oil pressure switch from the block, fan switch sensor on rad, induction pipe from inlet to airbox

Silvertop 90bhp head (rebuild with new valve stems) (thanks to jason aka mandyslover)
s1 rallye inlet with tb
s1 airbox plus the pipe with it that goes to tb (thanks to miamibluebaby)
hg kit
oil, oil filter, spark plugs, fuel filter

Once everything is done and dusted the car will be complete as follows which shall be done mid january hopefully, should get most of it done over a weekend quite easily.

Engine & box

Predator ECU and LC1 wideband
1.4 bottom end
silvertop 90bhp head (new valve stems, cam seal 98bhp cam)
S1 Rallye inlet & tb
Cituning Turbo kit with GT25R
mi16 injectors & 4 bar fpr
200mm flywheel and clutch setup
1.1 box

Chassis

Bilsteins & EIbach Springs
106 GTi front arb
Xsi front brakes & VTR rear beam braided lines all round
upper brace
Retro fit ABS courtesy of BDM

Interior & Exterior

rear false floor (sound deaden rear basically) courtesy of Parry121
Saxo VT mirrors with caps
Either Normal GTi spoiler or MK1 Saxo VT one

MOT is due in Febuary it went straight through last time no problems but this time will need welding in 2 places - on the tranny tunnel and in the boot by the light, going to try and get a new front bumper and bonnet after this is done as getting a decent colour match is a pain with quiksilvers 2 main silvers but 17 different shades! Anyway few pics of parts that have been acquired in last few weeks

I'll sort a proper index for this later on

Sophia_Bush · 15th December 2010, 17:41

this is what will be coming back on

Sophia_Bush · 24th December 2010, 00:00

Right few things updated see above 2 posts

sold a few odds and ends so looks good

Lippy · 24th December 2010, 17:05

All sounds like good plans! love the fact that when you do stuff its like... 'should be done over the weekend'

shame I dont have the funds for the head nor the inlet :/

still maybe next month if they are still with you but im doubting it, good luck with the upgrades!

adzvtr · 24th December 2010, 21:50

Plans look good m8. will have to show me the projects wen i come up for the engine.

Lippy dude don't worry about the stuff when time comes I am sure I can sort something out for you

pretty sure there is a JP4 engine going cheap local I can get the head off for you when time comes.

oh and when I say it should be done over a weekend usually to good to be true lol something usually comes up ie snow this weekend otherwise I would of had everything stripped down ready for the new head etc
