A few quick pics of my Mk2. All thats left to do is to plumb up the external wastegate to the downpipe. Then its off to Westward to get mapped!!
Davec
Fair play to you Dave, that looks like an awesome install. Looking forward to seeing it on the rollers next month.
yeah,
Imagine all the money we've both spent on engines alone since then!

We could be feckin retired at this stage!
Maybe we should flog all the big power stuff, buy 4 door Golfs,shine them up nice and take pics of them, post the pics when ever an opportunity presents itself and shite on about the "scene" every ten minutes, while going to weekly meets in carparks all around the country................NAH!

Dead right.....I was there last Sunday with my car & that IS what counts, the fact that the lads in this thread spend nearly every cent they get & every spare hour too on their cars doesn't really matter.....
........Get that into your heads!!

That car's going to be some animal alright, nice one Dave

I'm sorry,I couldnt drive halfway across the country on Sunday as I was up to my back axle in 205 GTI bits( stand in track car for when the Corrado is feeling moody!).
I realise my non attendance at the meet ,allied to the fact that I spent the time working on a non VAG french car, has lead to my exclusion from the scene, I apologise profusely for my indiscretion and endeavor in the future to elevate myself to a position where I may one day be considered for re admission to the "scene".

Enough of this bollocks I've a broken M3 to fix.

Good man Tom, you're slowly seeing the error of your ways & that's a start! The sooner that yourself & the other supposed VAG heads accept your wrong-doings & start going to the meets, the sooner that you guys will be slowly accepted back into the realm!

As Tony D pointed out, admitting you F**ked up is the first step on the long road to recovery!!!

Now back to the topic at hand lads. Dave's engine build and what old skool VW is going to be able to keep with it up the 1/4 mile strip??

That curved boost pipe was a nightmare. We had to shape it around Plug lead #1!! Not sure if you can make out from the pics but I'm also in trouble with the turbo inlet. The kit is from a LHD car so my Master cylinder reservoir wont fit onto of the master cylinder!!! I made up a 30mm spacer to fit between the Manifold and the turbo to lift the inlet up but I'm still in trouble. This is what will more than likely casue me to miss the rr day in April!!
Its basically a T3/4 Turbonetics turbo with external wastegate, forged pistons + Steel rods bottom end with a 2.1L capacity. Head is gas flowed with Kent Cams, distributorless DTA managent, water injection mated to a 6 speed Quaife limo'ed cable change box. Subframe + wishbones are seem welded. Fuel is controlled by 440cc injectors with rising rate adjustable fuel reg + Walbro 255lph inline fuel pump.
Should be good for 320+.

I think I seen in Rallydesign a pedal set that had a remote reservoir for kitcars. (I stress I think).
What about tapping the hole in the master cylinder and running short hoses through the scuttle to a small reservoir bottle sitting in the scuttle, it would still be above the m/c. and if there was a concern of gravity flow a small metal reservoir could be sealed with a tyre air valve on top that can be used to keep a bit of pressure above to keep a flow downward.
Dont know if it would work but in thoery it should. Or even a hose and sit the reservoir above the boost line. Just a thought.
NICE SPEC I am drooling here.

sweet work there dave, and a very tidy install, next thing youll be out with the polishing kit to that stainless/alloy!!! is that piping bent straight lengths or weld bends with the welds smoothed. good tidy work either way. cant wait to see her/hear her going.
ps youre not bad craic. youve an engine in that needs tweaking and you dont think youll make april but im expected to make it and all i have is a shed of expenive parts !

Theres a bit more to be done than tweeking.
Like I say, I have to sort my brake problem, fabricate a wastegate exhaust, fit my Walbro fuel pump, get it to Martins, get ot going, put up about 500 miles and then get it back to Martins and get it mapped. If the last 6 mths are any thing to go then it could take me another 6 mths to get all that done....and thats assuming nothing breaks or falls off in the mean time

Some job. Very neat looking installation. I know what you mean about the motivation. It can be hard to drag yourself off the couch on a Sunday afternoon

Good luck with getting the last 10% of the way
