[Tutuur]

are you going to crank up the boost too? how the engine went before i can only imagine how it'll respond to more boost since the last head upgrades

[Os8472]

Check out post 84 mate.

Looking good Robbie.

Oh yeah lol forgot about that

[r5 rich]

[turbo ted]

not much happening at the moment due to no work or money but i had the subframe sand blasted and i fully seam welded and extra plated it and fitted williams power steering rack with 106 electric pump and the vw selector stick pictures added below.

Nice one

Couldn't have said it better.

[HAndy]

yep 100%agree lot of effort going on here , great work

ps- any chance of some piccys of the anti flex struts that you fitted to the front wishbones i know you fabricated and fitted some nobody has 500+bhp and lives with standard wishbone flex

me and jp oli are in need of some sooner rather than later , curious to which area they connect to

pps- good luck with the test and tune on friday
hope all goes as you expect it

[turbo ted]

I've just used anti roll bar drop links off a Renault traffic van nice and cheap £20 off ebay, one end just bolts to the inside hole of the ball joint on wishbone and then just weld a small plate to subframe for the other end of drop link been running these when it was a c1j makes a big difference pulls 1.6 sixty foot at pod with these before only 1.9 picture attached

Sweet, i need to get on this

So do I only had them in my box of bits to fit for the last four years.

Looking good Rob.

I fitted a set to my 5. Makes it more stable under heavy breaking aswell and the car stays straighter.

[Brigsy]

I dont have access to a welding set at the mo, do you think a heavy piece of plate bolted to the subframe will be adequate?

[car.crash]

I don't see why it wouldn't work. There isn't much room though and your wheels may catch slightly on full lock so allow for that.
Mine did anyway and I welded mine.

[turbo ted]

if you can get two bolts in the plate it should be fine but you need to keep the plate small and tight to the subframe so the wheels clear on full lock.

[Tutuur]

vivaro links are even cheaper

[Spooky]

Some amazeball over-engineering and fabrication, love it

[Os8472]

How did you get on Friday then Rob?

[Tutuur]

i read on the engine-dynamics website that the injectors were maxed out. what injectors are you running mate?

[HAndy]

more importantly than that, what power did it make, and where did the gt35 run out of puff......... it had to be somewhere close to or maybe, just maybe slightly above the 600 bhp mark

you have been very quiet about the tune day for the last few days

[Logg]

you have been very quiet about the tune day for the last few days

19th of may robbie said. Your a month to early.

oopsss

[Logg]

oopsss

But you never know Robbie may cross the line so quick that his fluxcapacitor malfunctions and end up back in April.

[r5 rich]

any news on this yet? been a bit quiet lately

[Chunk]

Wow. Just wow!

Quick question - who made up the PAS pipe which joins to the electric pump? I asked loads of pneumatic specialists around my area and nobody had the correct parts to make me one.

[turbo ted]

thinkautomotive will make you power steering lines, slight set back a the moment with the car and im to busy at work aswell but should be back out for the end of season

[GT Josh]

Class fella

[turbo ted]

just thought I update this thread well had I few problems with this vw gearbox conversion at the end of last year when I ran at santa pod I broke a driveshaft straight away and destroyed the gearbox aswell at the same time ,because I had a cheap lsd fitted when the driveshaft snapped the diff exploded and destroyed the hole gearbox. So now I got a fully rebuilt gearbox again but this time its fitted with a proper quaife diff and life time warranty.
also fitted new intercooler and changed inlet manifold throttle position and running coil plugs now instead of a coil pack.
that's it for now but the car is ready to rock and make some boost pictures added below regards turboted

[Dave Reed]

Blimey Robbie.. I never new you destroyed to G/B

[James5]

Crikey Robb, the cheap LSD is that not the same one Scoff uses?

As always your work looks fantastic

[Tutuur]

Hope the gearbox issue will be over now mate!
Exactly the reason why i used a quaiffe right away!

Looks awesome as always btw, what cops are they?
Looks like they fit perfectly on the f7's head.

[turbo ted]

i had that OBX diff from the usa a quaife copy it just fell apart when the shaft broke, the coil plugs are off a civic type R there pretty much a straight fit Arthur regards turboted

[5teve L]

Good work Rob, I hope to see this run sometime this year so keep us updated when you are hitting Pod.
I know you are moving back across to the emerald isle, will you still be popping over for events ?

[JP Racing]

well done ted looks the nuts. I thought about using a OBX diff but had a good look at the reviews and decided against it. Hope to see your car up and running this year be good to have another chat too. Really should pull my finger out today so i can start to refit my engine soon not much to do to mine to have it running again

[Tutuur]

Good to see the cops fit that good, i did buy a wasted spark coil from Chris but fancy cops more.

No more leads, look cleaner and they are strong too!

Will look into fitting them on my turbo engine too as the standard ignition doesn't cope well with 330bhp

Dare i ask how much you paid for the coils?

[Scoff]

Crikey Robb, the cheap LSD is that not the same one Scoff uses?

As always your work looks fantastic

I tried one in 2011, it lasted 1 outing and welded itself shut. Quaife after that.

Looking good rob

[r5 rich]

see the video of it boosting down the street other day. Looks like a lot of fun to say the least!
