Patsy - 106 Quiksilver Turbo 23/12/10 a taste t25 in 2011 (post 375 onwards)

1st January 2010, 19:24

Old Shed new decade etc, got my old car back quick spec it is pretty much as I left it :

VTR inlet
Protech 4-1
Magnex decat system
Avo Adjustables
Wheel stud conversion

Immediate plan is to sell magnex (which I have done) and get standard system on, get Sciroccos on. Also got a shed load of interior stuff to go back in like all the interior bungs carpet and bits of trim, get PAS back on basically a massive tidy up.

Longer term plans after I done above get bushes for front wishbones, new arb drop links, adjust the handbrake cables, new heater matrix and maybe beam bushes aswell. Anyway pics :

2nd January 2010, 16:16

All I've done today on this is just take the seats out kurust the whole interior, aim is to get some different front seats and start getting interior related stuff back in. Few more quick pics

3rd January 2010, 17:25

SAVE IT GAV, SAVE IT!

haha

3rd January 2010, 17:27

nice car

3rd January 2010, 17:55

still looks pretty clean like mate, is the body work in good nick etc? thought you'd already polybushed it etc previousley? i await some mega plans

3rd January 2010, 18:00

Right it is booked in next weekend for new heater matrix, oil and oil filter, 2 new front droplinks, fitting the VTS oil cooler/top hose setup, adjust the handbrake cables, also going to fit standard exhaust system back on for mot then decide what to do after that.

Also got S1 rallye inlet and S1 airbox setup to bosh on when I cba to, also got a 23mm 4port m/c along with some nice 4pots to fit end of month

Yeah bodywork is still pretty good mate nah not polybushed it yet altho depending on money I may invest in the arb, wishbone and lower engine mount ones. Rear beam ones can wait may have a look into some vibra technics engine mounts

3rd January 2010, 18:04

sounds good to me.. my cars away to a mates lock up in the next week or so as i just dont have the space atm and the weather is too cold right now....got the car stuck outside last weekend in the snow lol, no weight with breathing mods mid spec cam and a s1 inlet didnt help me too much tbh hahah, you going dastek on the quicky?

3rd January 2010, 19:04

Possibly but will see as I want bushes, m/c and 4pots on first before I touch the engine again mate.

We to mates garage today to get quiky checked over looks to be ok swapped the raptors with near enough borderline tyres on for some uber retro ax gti 13" dustbin lids with good tyres on. Also the car needs a proper proper good clean when weather is better you can see in pics the amount of crap is there.

Also the above work to be done next few weeks when weather is much better

wheels wont be to everyones taste but hey AlexB insprired

the steelies will go on after mot is done as I cba changing on my drive in this weather.

GTi needed jump start as stupid boot light drained battery so sorted that and its all minty

11th January 2010, 17:17

looking good mate, steelies will go well i reckon!

11th January 2010, 17:46

those AX wheels look poor gav! good job they are only temporary

mine needs a clean and underseal when the weather picks up, we should make a day of it? lmao

have you sold the raptors?

11th January 2010, 17:55

lol next time I am washing mine it is going up on axle stands and wheels off! Well wheels ain't to everyones taste but will do for now until I get the steelies repainted and 2 more tyres that match in size.

They are that poor that they are stealth lol

11th January 2010, 21:26

i think they look quite cool in their own right, nice bright colour and theyd be spot on, defo needs a wash underneath mind lol, take some serious jetwash action, may have some new plans now mind

all will soon be revealed lol

11th January 2010, 21:52

ah good stuff Andy, to be fair I don't mind the wheels have a retro feel plus the look like bin lids

anyway boost related loom, ecu, ignition amp, coilpack, ht leads and inlet are sorted just need to sort relevant head and injectors that should be on end of feb - begin of march

11th January 2010, 21:56

you going for stock internals still or poss uprated? havent really give too much away on this one, im mid way to looking through a very expensive buy

will be very shiny and have some materials removed...and possibley some bigger bits fitted

11th January 2010, 22:00

You do realise you have 2 different sizes of tyres on the steelies???

11th January 2010, 22:14

yeah I do craig no worries tho as I can get 185 55 14s at a good price

Andy standard internals and run it sensibly, sounds like you got good plans, well mine is just basically a budget build but with everything running sensibly

11th January 2010, 22:17

sounds cool, will be good to see it up and runing as the last 1 was dead when i started following your thread, be good to see you hit 150 on the cheap though, maybe get it to some shows if its near the season? wouldnt mind you taking me for a spin in it to see what a boosted 1.1 goes like lol

12th January 2010, 19:45

yeah no problems andy look this is what happened near 2 years ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyo-ImtNWCU

wheel spin in 5th, crap tyres and in the damp lol. That was one hell of a mix setup, good ole days! Soon to be back on road with that induction kit

12th January 2010, 20:46

lmao that looks pretty damn quick for a 1.1 even on boost haha, you using the same kit like mate? i cant wait to receive mine

need to get a shift on with the car but im low on space lol, cant wait to see this again, not fancy one of the turbo cams from cituning? cant go wrong at the price, could be the pioneer trying it out? i just wanna know what theyre like

13th January 2010, 16:20

nah this will be on budget and stay like that

should be interesting anyway

13th January 2010, 16:49

you sure? £145 on exchange isnt too bad (for the stock camshaft)
sure you could you could make it back

may just risk it myself tbh lol

13th January 2010, 20:07

LOL you want me to Pioneer it! nah you just wait n see how this goes will be interesting either way

13th January 2010, 20:22

16th January 2010, 16:51

Well got the heater matrix done what an utter fucking ballache that was!!! Dash ooot then trying to get heaterbox to sit in right place when putting dash back in was a mare! Along with the usual pain in the poo passage of putting everything back together and remember which screws went where

But it is all done and the car has heat again!

Due to the aforementioned taking so long only managed to swap inlet back over, Sunday I will be cleaning the inside properly putting rest of bungs in. VTS heater exchanger, top hoses, oil/oilfilter, drop links and exhaust swap will leave until last sat of this month then do it all then.

16th January 2010, 17:03

doing the heater matrix is a bitch !!

The worst bit is trying to undo the clamps from the coolant hoses on the bulkhead !!

Good job done though !!

17th January 2010, 14:52

Tell me about it Ross utter ball breaker!! Well today changed the wheels and did the bungs so of the list the below is done bugger all really but the rest will be done in a few weeks.

Well managed to finish kurusting everything and primered everything at last, will hoover the inside in a bit and wet sponge everything to get rid of the remaining crap then more primer. GTi front seats are now in much more comfy as is the temp quiky MOT exhaust.

Next Saturday will see the fitting of new rear beam, braided lines all round 4 pots and front arb drop links. If all goes well will try getting the service and heater exchanger done. Pretty much it at the moment in time but there will always be some more odds n ends to sort out. Will update with pics in a bit

23rd January 2010, 18:17

23rd January 2010, 20:58

where did you source the GTi seats from? i wouldnt mind some cloth ones when your finished?

23rd January 2010, 21:05

Why do you always put old tat in your cars? I know its a turbo and all... but it looks like you found it in a scrap yard lol!

26th January 2010, 23:22

Most bloody expensive month ever!!

Tax £68.50?? odd 6months MOT £50 4 pots & pads £340, arb drop links £15, service stuff £30, braided rear lines £22. Then we have "engine stuff" £160& new beam £130 then we got fitting and brake fluid few more ££ there.

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! oh well at least the main plan is still going ok

28th January 2010, 21:07

4th February 2010, 17:55

well more stuff done still plenty to do and more updated list!

5th February 2010, 16:47

All Turbo stuff cancelled for the forseeable future! Todays adventures bring one big fat juicy fail of the mot:

new rear beam bearing is fucked on the driver side
rear pads will be needed
horn has stopped working
emissons is also up the creek
steering rack may also need looking at!

Fucking crappy car

looks like off the road yet again! Bloody bad timing!

5th February 2010, 16:50

Bad touch of luck there mate! Will it be the shock on teh beam or one whole side of teh beam itself?

5th February 2010, 16:52

Ouch, I suppose it's new rear beam time?

Rear pads aren't too bad to do (££££) nor is the horn.

Emissions could be a bit of a pain to get to the bottom of, although normally lambda.

Steering rack is the worst one tbh. - It got play in it? Could be the track rod ends? Or inner bush?

5th February 2010, 17:01

Ross this is on the replacement beam

pads and horn are easy I agree. But with emissons it could be either lambda or the engine being to fucked as is was burning a small bit of oil so either small thing or it will kick me in the balls harder and want a new enigne.

The rack I have no clue its not the rod ends probably something in the middle, so depending on how fucked the stub is may be new bearing only or whole new tube if its that then its defo off the road, with the rack depending on how bad may just bite the bullet and get a manual one in there.

Sam see axoc looks like an ax time maybe

It on a rebuilt beam? Wip the trailing arm off and have a look, might have caught it early - if not then IMAxle time ?

Would be a good time to go for a non-power steering rack.

There's an inner bush so could be that.

Sucks mate !

5th February 2010, 17:10

nah the beam was just off a gti that was supposedly good

I think if I need a new beam then will be case of chuck it up to my mates and see if he can sort everything on it.

It does suck very very badly

5th February 2010, 20:23

Slight update thanks to miamibluebaby and jonsey tomorrow we are going to a saxo breaker local to get a VTR rear beam to fit to this, also we are going to sort some standard front struts as thats whats causing the steering issue.

So all being well running will be good and will try something with emissons so may be looking ok for monday.

5th February 2010, 22:15

bad crack mate, if its burning oil itl defo put your emissions up, gotta find the reason, if you end up having to fit a new rack you may aswell just find another 1.1 lump (it is a 1.4 in it isnt it?) will make it easier to fit the rack and the engines piss easy to do

think posi mate!!!

5th February 2010, 23:12

well rear beam is defo being done with struts if all goes well tomorrow and got someone to bleed brakes to so looking good so far

5th February 2010, 23:18

was gonna bash on with mone but the clutch has gonein the van so thats gonn monopolise my day

not looking forward to it at ALL!! lol

5th February 2010, 23:35

aye money situation i've worked out everything will even itself out in a few weeks so just need to sell off alot of things like avo adjustables, the raptors, gti brakes, manifold, rallye inlet few more other odds n ends should be ok

5th February 2010, 23:36

Would it be worth putting 4pots on at the same time seeing as rear beams off and struts off - kill 2 birds with one stone

5th February 2010, 23:39

Also if you want to sell that c2vts inlet come summertime then I'm your man

6th February 2010, 18:15

Woop woop! VTR rear beam now fitted that has no play solid as a rock

also with decent pads

Handbrake is mega aswell 2 clicks and bosh done! Massive thanks to miamibluebaby, jonsey and wing commande stocker for the help in getting, fitting the beam and bleeding the brakes.

With the horn I have no clue why that doesn't work anymore, steering rack is not an issue turns out to be struts so got 2 fronts stuts to fit, new arb drop links again with emissons found a friendly place.

Got some odds and ends to fit like rallye down pipe and standard manifold (thanks andrea), mist washer jets, new exhaust fitting kit along with gti cat and rallye system. So looking at it mot is looking well

best part is the new beam only cost £100 so not as much money as I wanted to spend

6th February 2010, 18:17

happy days gav, btw i found that oil cap in the box, cheers dude

6th February 2010, 19:39

no problems mate it is bloody good news

and at a lovely standard height!

pitty the struts were being fucktards!

7th February 2010, 13:52

Well horn is also now sorted

old one was on its way out plus the fuse popped to so got new horn and replaced fuse

Also fitted the mist washer jets which I will say is a cheap and good mod to do.

Fingers crossed mot sorted tomorrow it passes then provided I get enough time and fitting kit shows I will refit the standard manifold/rallye downpipe, gti cat and full rallye cat back system. Few random pics anyway didn't take many tbh

Dead shaggered beam off, also new struts in back ground to go on

New good beam to go on

that's it for now like would of got more pics but was more into getting everything done and out of the way

7th February 2010, 14:03

Cracking on I see Gav! I need some of your enthusiasm lol

7th February 2010, 14:17

That's a bloody quick turnaround !!! Ready for the MOT retest !

7th February 2010, 14:27

lol Andy it wasn't a case of enthusiasm you know I hate working on cars but when you got good mates like miamibluebaby, jonsey and wing commander stocker helping out fitting beam etc it gets done

Ross dam right mate needed to be done as per above

7th February 2010, 15:35

wahey!!! its on

7th February 2010, 22:08

aye provided tomorrow goes well and mot does get done then everything else will be done pretty fast and initial power upgrade will be done fast

8th February 2010, 12:13

I has MOT that is all

8th February 2010, 12:20

looks like you've done a good project there mate (Y)

' how much did the mist washer jets cost you for new ones ' ?

8th February 2010, 13:01

myers £10 delivered off ebay worth every penny compared to the standard stuff

came off a Xasara so if you can rob some from scrappy job done

8th February 2010, 18:14

sound job on the MOT gav, things are moving forward i see, what route you going on the compression? thicker h/g or decomp? still think you should try the cituning turbo cam

8th February 2010, 18:20

good work on the MOT !!

8th February 2010, 19:57

Revised plan schedule, all being well should be nice and fruity

exhuast fititng kit (kam racing) & other bit from ebay for box - Just waiting for this to show
fit standard rallye manifold & downpipe from andrea
full gti exhaust system

When time allows - In next 2 weeks

Front struts
4 pots with front braided lines
3mm spacers with slight mod needed before fitting
rear braided lines

After all this

Extra 8valves
standard manifold and heatshield
J4 tb adapted
98bhp vtr injectors

Andy lol sorry mate you will have to try that I have another 8valves and another cam to worry about compression wise just a thicker hg for my spec.

Ross dam right

8th February 2010, 20:08

it's all about the extra 8v's !!

8th February 2010, 21:07

oooooh!!!! so this is gonna be a 16v jobby eyyyyy? wouldnt happen to be that 1.4 16v lump would it? can rmemeber you trying to shift it but not getting round to it???? as if you were going 1.6 16v you wouldnt be wanting vtr injectors would you!!! or have i missed that post thats tell us all this

8th February 2010, 21:30

yeah it is Andy going to use it now I know parts are going to be cheap to sort on it.

8th February 2010, 21:36

1.4 16v sounds very interesting. Did you have that engine in anything light like a 106 before to see what it was like? Alloy b/end ftw.

8th February 2010, 21:39

sounds goog to me

, should be a quick little pug tbh like gav, damn sight quicker then the 1.1, have you boosted anything over 1.1 yet?

8th February 2010, 22:25

Jason no came straight out of a rolled 206 with 3k miles on

Yeah alloy bottom end to, should be ok power wise not expecting miracles from the initial n/a run in spec. But should be comfortably faster than the oe 1.4 8v and faster than a VTR. But thats just that until the boost is ready in a few months once money situation is better.

Andy I've done the 1.1, 1.3 and thats it mate

8th February 2010, 22:38

oh yeah you done the rallye didnt you, i think this will be a naughty little project tbh gav, really excited to see some results, shame its not going forged though with such a decnt engine. sure you can get another if you like the results though

Sounds good. Have you checked out a TU5JP4 head to see if they can be interchanged easily? Or the valve size of the 1.4 16v vs the 1.6 JP4? I'm all questions as i was thinking about this a few years back but left the idea.

9th February 2010, 20:18

j4/jp4 valve size to big would require bigger cut outs think it would bolt on though but the way I am getting it done is the easiest way within reason

9th February 2010, 20:50

are the camshafts interchangeable, eg high lift or turbo spec?? little cammed tubby 1.4 16v

be a small rocket hahah

12th February 2010, 14:07

Right well all things being well this weekend will see the completion of interior related matters, manifold and exhaust should also be done. After that just a case of changing struts over and fitting the brakes.

But small boost update just sorting new cambelt covers for the new engine, also have manifold and charger pretty much sorted for that aswell. Just remidial stuff after like 8v coilpack, suitable leads and usual odds and ends in theory new engine should be in for april

14th February 2010, 16:52

Well standard s1 rallye manifold and standard full gti system now on, what a ballache trying to get everything to seal properly!

Notice whats wrong here?

Off in one go and one piece

New system

Fitted

Difference on this compared to 4-1 and magnex? Not much if I am honest goes just as good it was previously. Now all I need to do is get standard front struts fitted, 4 pots fitted, 22mm front arb then thats it done until more money comes in to sort the new engine bits.

Will get interior done next weekend as it started to rain once part way through finishing the above, just to note got myself another set of axle stands to do a proper wheels off wash under the arches

and few more tools as few spanners have gone walkies

More random pics

22nd February 2010, 23:07

Righty so this saturday sees new struts being fitted along with brakes finally then thats it for now, got a few more things on way :

22mm front arb which I will fit with the new drop links
diesel rad and header tank, new lower rad hose and rear bleed hose
Free Bilstein B6s
New induction kit, associated piping etc

5th March 2010, 17:55

struts got done the other day but few things to do before 4pots go on but they should on the car on weekend. The arb and free billies will be fitted as and when they come, other than that running gear is pretty much how I want it now.

Also got this to run the induction kit I am going to fit, only reason I changed to this from the predator is because locally there is someone I know who maps them well and will do it at a good price to me.

more pics of the car at standard 4x4 height and brakes on weekend.

5th March 2010, 22:23

nice work, nice one with the mot pass, was it hard to fit the rear beam? how long does it take? always like reading through your threads buddy.

5th March 2010, 22:33

not done yet gav, slacking fella

5th March 2010, 22:41

took about 2 hours to fit with other mates wasn't that bad as we was taking another disc beam off. Cheer bud should have some more interesting stuff for yous to read soon.

LOL Ad, right chore today! one bolt is like a 3/8th size random just need to get 2 bolts off and turbo is sorted

5th March 2010, 22:43

all ready to go on. i cant moan about your progress. i still aint attched my rear and front bumper properly, fitted my pink rocers and my braided hoses. so you know

5th March 2010, 22:47

in reality if I want this pos to run the above is it.

But I've got a shed load of bodywork plans to sort out aswell spethal change

12th March 2010, 19:16

Updates!! right new front arb is coming next week so that with drop links be done, also the free bilstein b8s will be fitted once I've sorted some springs in a few weeks.

But engine wise it is dieing a slow and unceremonious death valve stems going and something else, so parts for the 1.4 16v are being acquired so that can be fitted asap

Pics of brakes anyway 265mm 4 pots

12th March 2010, 21:30

fuck me ive missed loads of progress on this gav!!!, im thinking of getting a loan to cover all the costs of my loose ends, few bills are getting the better of the build and ruining my chances of moving forward!! but you car is flying along now mate, why cant i see any of the recent pics though?

12th March 2010, 21:55

I'd take time mate next month or two for me is no car parts whatsoever as I need to pay off recent splurge on card again but needs must etc can't see pics I dunno mate you special lol?

12th March 2010, 21:57

Brakes look tasty!

12th March 2010, 22:01

dunno what to do dude, its either loan up and consolidate it all or scale the build back somewhat.... and i dont really wanna scale bck lmao. pics have loaded now haha.... but yes i am indeed special..... well at least thats what my mother tells me lmao, brakes do look good aswell, you leaving em that colour or painting them up?

12th March 2010, 22:31

Going to leave them that colour mate cba painting them pink tbh! what you need to think about is take a loan out to get your nitty gritty done can you afford to pay out every month on the loan aswell as do your usual stuff?

Mr Supercharger dam right they look well they stop as good as they look

12th March 2010, 22:55

well im paying one any way so was thinking of exteneding it for the same monthly payment as its nearly finished (well 12 payments or a chunk upfront) so i figure once the car is done... the sooner the better, the sooner i can pay off my debts lmao, had a good think and to me this seems the best option, as im losing money left and right to the car but have to account for bills.... so cant put my all or even commit alot each month, it it gets finished i know where i stand each month.... and can then fuck the loan off with whats left?... the choices lmao

13th March 2010, 11:46

Up to you Andy if you think that is what best suits your situation then go for it, obviously if it is saving you money to!

Well here are the rear billies, also got some gti wishbone braces to fit to but as in previous posts these will be fitted when the fronts arive along with the arb

Oh and I am going back down to 14s

13th March 2010, 12:22

Nice lookin Quicksilver there mate (Y) keep it up.

Been keeping my eye on these kits, nice to see they are having good reviews. Did they fit straight on with no hassle?

14th March 2010, 15:13

The calipers do aye but you need to get an early 266mmx20mm disc and get 1mm turned off the diameter so its 265mm otherwise as per normal, depending on what pad you use aswell they do need a good few miles bedding in properly before they bite your nads off.

I did around 60miles varying braking during and now they are utterly amazing

14th March 2010, 22:11

But turbo related news downpipe is getting the final mods done to it so it is bit more tidy same thing with the adapter. Turbo itself I've had a play with so orientation is right so with boost pipe routing I have a good idea on what to do.

Parts wise all I realistically need is in all honesty not alot.

14th March 2010, 22:17

Sounds awesome !!!!

You must have a treasure chest of parts in your garage !!

Not long now until it's running boost then ?

14th March 2010, 22:20

Gav let me refurb your raptors, they are desperate for some fresh paint and laquer

Keep up the good work

going by the above Ross sump is at mates along with the adapter and downpipe getting the work done on it, oil feed and return will sort that closer to when its needed but rest of the stuff is just order off ebay in a few weeks time.

replace garage with bedroom lol boost looking realistically end of april/begin of may time. Oh need you to work something out 8.5psi should be about 120bhp ish well going on the principle of 7.5psi = 50% increase if mapping is good means on a 75bhp engine around 112.5bhp. But injectors wise been thinking 98bhp vtr ones if they can flow that tiny bit more for boost or just get some mi16/gti6 ones so the duty cycle is not so high.

lol I am selling the sciroccos mate so raptors are going back on but if they are scruffy no worries part of the stealth

14th March 2010, 22:32

what about some vts injectors? Or are they too short for the fuel rail?

I've not looked at them so can't say for sure? vts ones will easily see 110bhp if you keep the 3.5Bar fpr I would have thought, vts ones seem to top out at 160bhp, 33% ontop of their oem bhp.

14th March 2010, 22:47

vts ones are to short unless they do long versions? I think will try some VTR 98bhp ones when I am closer to getting more stuff then

should be an interesting one this seeing as it will be on a budget again but with all the right bits and what not to do like last time haha

14th March 2010, 22:49

patsy lookin sweet murdoch

15th March 2010, 13:49

cheers faceman!

few more parts on way dv, boost gauge, vac hose, sparkies and map sensor

15th March 2010, 14:01

looking good mate!

17th March 2010, 17:50

another part of my induction kit

17th March 2010, 17:54

God it's huge !!!!

lol, and the dump valve is fairly big too

the noise that dump valve will make should be deafening !!

18th March 2010, 15:12

thinking which parts of the puzzle i should order next now, pipes, hoses etc or more of the other stuff

18th March 2010, 15:25

I'd be tempted to order pipes last so you can get them to fit perfectly? Or you already know the lengths/angles you need ?

18th March 2010, 15:56

well boost gauge, spark plugs and appropriate silicone t piece for above has been ordered. This is what I need to complete Ross on the "Cold Side" of the induction kit I need to order

2 x 2" pipe 180mm, 1 x 2" pipe 300mm, 1 x 2" 90 dgree pipe
3 x 90degree 2" hose, 5mm vac pipe

than thats the cold side done. Then "hot side" & "control"

oil feed/return
sump
the rejigged adapter and downpipe
gti6/mi16 injectors
boost map sensor

I think that will be done just about ish!

18th March 2010, 16:07

The price of silicon hoses soon adds up !!! Been pricing a few up today and around £20 a hose it will easily be over £100 on hoses

Not a lot to do really, hot side shouldn't be too much £££ needed ?

18th March 2010, 16:07

18th March 2010, 17:09

hot side will be bugger all mate sub £100 to cover that side

In regards to silicone hoses and pipes have a look on ebay as they are cheaper than dt and rally design decent quality aswell. I think my bits there looking at 60-80 worth of more bits

19th March 2010, 20:11

Right update just went on an ebay spending splurge to get more parts so it looks like the cold side is now complete updated list as per below with prices it has cost so far anything in bold is already here / been bought and on way:

adapter £free
turbo £free
downpipe £free
oil feed / oil return £20
sump mod £10

dump valve £16.39
Intercooler £free
boost gauge £17.94
NGKBCR8ES spark plugs £11.29
dump valve t piece £19.99
2 x 2" pipe 180mm, 1 x 2" pipe 300mm, 1 x 2" 90 dgree pipe
3 x 90degree 2" hose, 5mm vac pipe £82.39
boost map sensor £29.50
Mi16 Injectors £20.50
Dastek Q Chip £65
jubilee clips £5

There are probably a few things I have missed and still to buy, but grand total for this turbo build is so far - £298

But good news is most of this will do for now until I get a few bits off ross for the 16v more towards summer time, but got mapping sorted for this at a really good price to

19th March 2010, 20:33

296quid?! That's mental!!!

I'll look out the parts when I get home tues/wed for you!!

19th March 2010, 20:53

Yeah thats cool Ross take your time you know what my aim with this part of the project is anyway lol Even if we added cost of turbo making adapter / downpipe still be sub £500, does go to show if you know the right people / willing to look for good bargains then its all good

20th March 2010, 18:41

its like being a kid at christmas when alot more stuff comes!

20th March 2010, 18:43

I agree, unwrapping parcels to see bargains inside!!!

We need pics of all these bits

20th March 2010, 20:04

pretty much everything on the bottom list

I'll get a group shot in the week lol, see how things go and how busy I am next weekend may be tempted to fit half the stuff

20th March 2010, 20:12

Good work Gav! Can we not tempt you into the Tesco Value diet for a few weeks till the car gets done?

20th March 2010, 21:43

actually I will be for next few weeks now mate as I got pretty much everything I wanted now in that splurge there may be some odds n ends like usual. I will have to have a think and see if I need anything else won't be much if I do

21st March 2010, 13:07

One slightly more serious update engine wise I've started some small prep work but cleaning it down properly jet wash at home, also finally cleaned the rocker cover out so it is free of mayo from when the heater matrix exploded one the last lad who had it. Hopefully this will confirm that there aren't any other problems.

Had the car running up to temp as per normal to check for any smoke and well it ain't that bad now so looks like it is shit that is still in the system or the valve stems ain't that bad so I think before I drop the oil changing the sumps over I will run some oil thinner crap through it just to flush the system out then new oil will go in.

But looking at the way things are going the layout of the small intercooler, pipework and air filter will be very neat this time. So looks like all systems go from April as the last few bits that are needed in above list will be easy to get and any other sunderies won't be much but looks like we are on course for a sub £800 build lol

21st March 2010, 13:39

Rock on !!! Sub £800 build is awesome !!!

21st March 2010, 13:55

£298 in parts so far then will have say £300 in mapping £35 on new box oil, engine oil and filter then rest on a better clutch so budget wise looks to be just under £800 or just a smidge over but either way the way it is being done this time it has everything needed to run low boost reliably

22nd March 2010, 15:58

Well the shed has even more toys today!

22nd March 2010, 15:59

we need pics !

22nd March 2010, 22:26

all in good time Ross

oh also got some tyres for the raptors 2 contis and 2 goodyears for £56 nuggets

hopefully you can make out what this lot is and does haha

25th March 2010, 18:46

God that dump valve is going to be loud !!!

Liking the sillicon hoses, what's the quality like? They off ebay ?

Not much left on your list now !!!! Chop chop

25th March 2010, 20:06

haha the quality is pretty good Ross I'll get more pics in a bit yeah all off ebay and the guy is decent dead helpful plus the pipes are good to being the flared type will be good.

Yes the DV is bit big ain't it haha

26th March 2010, 18:37

believe it or not this is the layout of how everything will go pretty simple layout. I/C although small is more than enough for what I will be running will also keep everything stealthy

26th March 2010, 20:24

stealthy as it may be that noise of that hisser will give it all away in due time! lmao, looking good mate, nice update...... we likes the piccies

tbh the dv is big haha but I honestly do not know how loud it will be, more pics due over weekend I think

26th March 2010, 21:06

i await, im booking in a week off the week after next to get the car moving ofrward, need it on the road now as my vans ins is out in 3 weeks, will turbo it after this once andys pulled his finger out lol

27th March 2010, 16:19

few more pics in a bit but will be simple layout stuff in the bay

27th March 2010, 18:43

Crude but rough layout looking at it looks like only small mods are needs so that will be smaller radiator custom top hose, but may it be fate or just bad luck if some of you remember when I originally got this car back in 2007 the original engine decided to die (HG related issues) and the 1.1 went in.

Well looks like the last 2 guys who had the car not the guy who I sold it to have done a good job killing the current engine as HG is starting to go slowly so engine wise I will leave it up to you guys to think what is going in........

28th March 2010, 16:30

what happend to the 1.4 16v?

1st April 2010, 22:17

being built up still costing a bit that!

on other news more turbo related parts on way so looks like I have a good choice in terms of fmic etc etc now

3rd April 2010, 13:47

weather was finally good enough today to get the carpet back in with some hoovering done to, also changed steering wheels over aswell few pics of todays work

just waiting for a few things to show namely my gti front arb, lower rad hose and some other bits then more progress can be made. Will have it lowered again but not until I've got everything else done think lowering will be the last thing I do.

But on engine related news the current 8v is ok no HG worries at all compression test came back spot on, plugs looked good to so looks like it is down to the short journeys I do still get turbod mind you! The 1.4 16v is also going good guns ordered cambelt cover and some other bits for it so that will be physically ready soon then just small amount of work once it is in.

3rd April 2010, 13:57

What power you hoping for?

3rd April 2010, 13:59

Good to see its still progressing Gav. Good news on the HG as well

3rd April 2010, 18:37

aye Andy it is good news mind you I am pretty skint now so only things being done for next 6-8 weeks is just getting the front arb on with drop links when here and thats it.

Sorted deal out with Karl so pretty much all turbo bits will be sorted in terms of piping, i/c and other small odds n ends.

This is the other thing I fitted today standard lower wishbone braces that come on 16vs, XSi and Rallyes

10th April 2010, 18:37

Right small update the 1.4 16v is being built up slowly experimenting with a J4 head on the ET3 bottom end and seeing what needs doing etc so that is going to be long term that one don't think I will see that in car until mid to end of summer. In the mean time due to the current 1.4 8v sewing machine not knowing whether is dieing or just generally being crap it is being replaced, all I will say it is going full circle to what it was 3 years back.

Turbo related stuff also pretty much got everything I need now will sell off any bits I won't need so there may be a full intercooler kit with hoses and pipes going, dv etc etc

Also refitted the raptors today few pics of them below and how the 4 pots look behind them

Will fit GTI front ARB and new drop links next weekend when they come will also do a proper clean on it with wheels off etc

17th April 2010, 18:06

Well the car went on an unorthodox diet loosing lots of weight, I gave it a wash!! The last 2 guys who had the car didn't exactly wash it much and lots of mud/cow shit under arches under the car/bumpers etc. The below is the result also please note I am not a cleaning whore so this was a quick 20min job, some day I may invest in a foam lance/clay bar if I cba

On other news GTi arb has shown up along with new bottom hose these will be fitted pretty soon, more 1.4 16v engine build stuff on way like inlet/tb etc thanks to raunchz, J4 head and some other "stuff". Also got some Group N mounts in a week or so to.

Turbo stuff on hold for now as sorting the new engine is a priority once thats done and running which will be in next 6-8 weeks the turbo will go on, can safely say all turbo stuff has been bought and nothing else is needed probably got a fair few spares to sell on

24th April 2010, 16:07

Fitted the GTi ARB before this is what you get

Old quiky arb and dead drop links

GTi ARB and new drop links

Thats pretty much it for the running gear for now will lower it again at some point but more important things before that happens. Engine wise since this engine for some reason is still going looks like the turbo stuff will be going on it may still do a head swap hg etc since the 1.4 16v is a bit off right now.

Also paid for the rest of the bodywork parts off Alex and group n engine mounts off Spiros, bodywork revamp will be happening june/july time. The group n mounts will be fitted at same time as turbo stuff think I will be refitting the Sciroccos aswell later. Random pic of 4 pots

So up to date spec :

Suspension / Brakes / Wheels

Disc Beam with 22mm ARB
OE GTi front struts/dampers/springs
GTi front ARB
Gronholm Motorsport Hipsec 265mm 4 pots
15" Sciroccos

Engine / Box (to happen in next 3-6 weeks)

1.1 engine
adapted standard manifold, IHI RHB51 turbo, DIY downpipe
adapted sump
FMIC
200mm flywheel and clutch
Bailey DV
Dastek Q chip

Thats just the basic get me by spec for now obviously a few more other things like oil feed, returns, boot pipes, hoses etc

24th April 2010, 16:21

wicked car

24th April 2010, 18:42

nice work gav, ive just realised how close fcs issssssssssssssssss

2nd May 2010, 21:48

Few small updates in terms of parts acquired

later mpi head from 4 plug car
VTR inlet and tb cable bracket from a later car also
group n engine mounts
new bottom rad hose
200mm flywheel and clutch
1.1 box

still to get hg, head bolts, cambelt kit and slim oil filter. But thats about it for the repair before boost goes on which will be very soon after.

Thanks go out to Sunderz for sorting the head, miamibluebaby for the bracket and AlexR for the flywheel n clutch (although I still have to pay you!) Also to the big Spethal man AlexB for sorting the bobywork related stuff

4th May 2010, 16:04

S1 rallye box ahoy

new bottom rad hose (here but may be getting a full silicone kit)
200mm flywheel and clutch (to pay later tonight)
1.3 S1 box (few weeks time)
4 branch (on way)

The above will give me a good solid base to work on for turbo related stuff, this will basically be a good spec alround. The bigger with more badness related car will be done as and when.

8th May 2010, 18:21
