   it got 160bhp &180lbs/ft@wheels running 14psi on the T2/T25
   managed a 13.9SQM 1st time at the pod then the water inj played up and we kept getting 14.0
   havent been to the pod since we sorted the Aquamist, hopeing to get it running with most of the new bits for track at FCS but the bos is a bit of a bugger to get in an AX
   ill be fitting antilag to it at the end of the year but it should be mapped at 30 psi on the new T34 turbo, ive played with alot of 1.6 escort turbos with the same spec as im going for and most of them are 300bhp and over 300lbs/ft@wheels ish so close to that would be nice
   then ive got a direct port NOS with 150bhp jets to finish it off

    got new suspension for it aswell, vts rear beam and wishbones from a sax-p member
    
    
    then fitted new alloy and poly bushes and new ball joints
    
    finished polishing my S1 inlet aswell
    
    
    and painted the BE box
    
    
    then it was stripped back and sent off to be completly seam welded and have VT wishbone brace bars welded in
    
    
    
    just waiting for some plastygage to turn up so i can start blueprinting the block

    Citroen Picasso,
    
    but you'll need a BE box form the picasso, modified internals and not sure but probably custom rods to suit [as the picasso is cable shift i believe? possibly hydro clutch also?]
    
    picasso hubs machined down to suit the saxo bearings/struts.
    
    custom fabricated battery tray / gearbox mount to suit the BE gearbox mount.
    
    custom driveshaft (sleeved is cheapest option) as the picasso one(s) are longer than the saxo/ax.
    
    few other odd's & sodds but thats about it tbh.
    
    
    best bet it to stick with MA shafts unless you plan to run boost and launch hard

    keep an eye on the alu rear wishbone bushes, the nylon appears to be wearing quite hard on a couple of cars with them fitted.

    yes i read about them too ryan but ive payed for them now so ill see how it goes.
    the cooler is just placed in there in that pic and not on mounts yet, i fucked up and got it mad to fit behind the standard head lights which would of been fine with the old turbo but as im going for a GT2871 it just wont fit so had to buy morretts then cut the casings on them so i can bring the cooler forward, small price to pay for the bigger turbo lol
    
    also not got any room for the exhaust out of the external wastegate (got to run a gate as i intend to run about 200bhp Nitrous) so im going to have a screamer pipe ending just buy the sump

    lol ur doing the same as me, sod it ft them an just hope they dont fall appart, ive filed mine slightly rather than trimming the ARB mounts. they are sexy bushes though.
    
    morrettes look great though on the gAyX
    
    200shot of nos is insane. i might be needing to talk to you about some NOS at somepoint myself.

    been a while since i posted but not a great amount has been going on. stripped down the GT axle to use the tube as the VTS one i got off here is fucked, thats away beeing sand blasted so needed new bushes, would of been rude to fit standard
    
    
    
    the block has gone off for a reface and chemical clean and the bottom end to be dynamicly balanced with the new clutch and flywheel
    
    also got a bargain from an SSC member who is now superchageing his S1 instead of turboing
    
    
    then went down today to drop of the old block and BE casing to measure up the mount and was greeted by this, dont think this should break in a hurry
    
    
    
    
    the wishbone plates have been done on both sides and box sectioned like the legs here
    
    
    
    cant wait to get it back and paint under here and inside

    finally got space to bring lucy home and glad i have, i never seen her looking this bad before
    
    
    
    but got the front stripped out completly ready for prep and paint, sanded and primerd the bay (still more to do) and started removing the under seal from the wheel arches
    
    
    
    also started cleaning and painting everything to go back in
    
    
    
    
    also got the block back from being chemical cleaned and had the face machened 6 thou to give a good seal but thats tucked away till i get the internals
    
    and have the custom lower mount for the BE

    i must be coming down with something, 4 days in a row ive worked on lucy now lol
    
    i went and picked up the new engine last night, this will be the temp new heart till the new one is built, but im also using this one to see how far i can puch the nos so prob wont be sellable when ive finished :twisted:
    
    
    also went and got the shaft cut down today
    
    
    the guy said they were bloody hard lol
    
    
    dont worry ive not gone GAY and changed to this, he was also making a nice alloy bracket for a pug that puts this in a very interesting position
    
    its not been welded yet as i want to check its the right length 1st
    
    
    
    and the engine bay is now painted
    
    
    
    just the back part of the cage to take out and ill paint the inside (need to find the paint code as the paint i have done the bay in is way to light for the inside :roll:
    
    
    decided the dash and heater are staying out as i never use it in the rain or winter so its only weight i dont need
    
    and made a start on the loom, only having wires in the car that it needs for MOT every thing else is being binned
    [/quote]
    
    work will now stop on her as we have an SScer that needs to be ready for the ring

    yes mate the axle is fucked so got a new one and poly mounts to do and sort the tracking, and brakes and try and fix the box lol
    not long given joes car back, every time we start on our own another one turns up and customers come 1st so the AX will take a back seat

    Martin - keep us updated on the Rallye inlet
    Do you mean so you'll have 12 injectors now? 4 in the head, 4 for nitrious on the inlet, and 4 for fuel on the inlet?
    Thinking about adding another 4 to mine, on the underneath - so be interesting to see how you get on with yours, and what fuel rail you use/make up for it.

    #80 26th June 2008, 12:49

    yes 12 but the nitrous ones are small, i was going to put 4 nos ones in the top and 4 water ones in the bottom to have direct port water inj but need extra fuel ones so will stick to single jet WI
    
    im using a Jenvy fuel rail for the ones in the head and will prob use another for the extra 4 and see if i can use my aeromotive FPR on both, dont think the standard AX gti fuel lines will be up to the job lol

    trying to keep busy at the mo so went to the workshop for a few hours today, i had a chat with mark at CR turbos last week about the turbo i want to use and he sent me up some empty casings so i can mock up where everything needs to go
    looks like we mighthave a space problem :shock:
    
    
    
    
    
    been looking at the inlet and it looks like there isnt enough room to run a twin injector setup so trying to find some injectors that will cope

    nice one looks awsome i dont think you will have too many clearance issues you can always recess the rad a bit more forward might involve slight cutting of the bumper but you will surely be doing that due to the intercooler anyway

    its easy in a saxo as there is lots of room but sod all in an AX even with the cooler in front of the slam pannel there is no room for a rad so it has to go in the boot

    the shaft is spot on martin. The hubs were ok to although they slipped in the bearing a little easy but should be ok when the driveshaft done up properly.

    th rad is going right at the back of the car ryan with a hole in the boot floor that will dust air throught the rad and out the tailgate, this will hopefully pull the back of the car down at high speed and if its not enough then i will dust air from the rear windows in the th box the rad will be in

    went to get the gas for the welder and there computer was down so couldnt book it out :x
    
    got the screen out though as there is a little bit of rust on the coloumn mount and need iot out to weld the cage supports in
    
    
    
    got the cage and some of the inside painted
    
    
    
    
    and the wheel arches stripped and re undersealed
    
    
    also had to bugger about with the struts this week as i need ABS sensors for the traction control but once you fit BE shafts and hubs the MA ABS sensors dont line up so had to mount and make my own
    
    
    got the AX gti ARB painted and some new drop links

     martin yor nuts that is one hell of a turbo to run on a ax. Like the idea about the rad in the boot you must have no room at all up front since the ax is what 2 " shorter than a saxo.

     for the 1st time in 2 years ive started putting bits back on to the car
     the front suspension is all back on and working with all new bearing and bushes
     
     
     
     and the BE hubs are all sorted and brakes back on
     
     
     there is a little bit of welding needed in the floor wells but its is 17 years old
     
     
     
     and something came up very cheap so i wont have to use the 1.4 as a temp engine untill the turbo one is built, should be a laugh with 100bhp nitrous
     I DO HAVE TO SAY IM NOT GAY BUT I HAVE GONE 16V (for now it is only temp)

     cant buy the pins? mines going, people say once start getting play they are fucked regardless of the pins.

     not updated this in a while but not alots been done, i do move in to my new unit on weds so ill have more space to play on her
     i do however feel violated in having to put this engine in untill i get the 8vT up and running
     
     
     
     
     ive stripped out all the wires from the engine loom not needed and now just need to make a lighting and dash loom from scratch
     
     the raceland is all set to go on and ive been looking for a 3.5'' speedo to match my rev counter, i managed to pick this up free of charge so will be useing this and selling the 5'' autometer one
     
     
     
     
     i have also finished plumbing in the extra pipes needed to make the 16v half decent

     got some panels back on to make sure it all fits and so i can cut my bonnet to fit the pins
     
     
     
     also started making the new dash, light weight FTW
     
     
     
     
     also picked up some polly windows but these are going as the rears are not rated above 140mph as there bolton not the ones that fit in rubbers, so new ones on order
     
     
     
     
     
     
     stripped the interior loom back aswell, the left pile is whats not going back in

     cheers bud, the dash bar in the pic is only a mock up, ive just got some 1.5'' chromoly tube to make it with properly but its a right twat to bend lol, we had 2 of us and an 8 foot extension on the pipe bender to put the right kinks in it.
     waiting for the braided sleeve to turn up so i can finish the interior loom ans then get the dash in and wired up.
     oh i love wireing
     
     
     
     should bepainting the underside next weekend so i can get the fuel tank and exhaust back on

     "cutting the fat" off my loom when i get it all to that point is going to be my most dreaded part of the build tbh, going for paint under-neath? was going to underseal mine but its rather heavy so im swaying tbh lol, as said though looking very good. cant wait to see the end result, will be a monster

     should run very well on the 8v mate, also do you do the drive shafts for the BE box conversions? seriously thinking this over.

     I HATE THIS CAR
     i pushed the car over to my mates workshop so i could use the ramp
     
     got her up with the axle off so i could sort the underside
     
     
     
     
     all the old underseal taken off and some light rust patches treated then new underseal sprayed on
     
     
     with that lot done i decided to fit the front ARB as i have an AX GTI ARB, new bushes and clamps and new drop links
     This is why i hate the bloody car, no matter what you do you cant fit a later type ARB to a MK1 shell, a mk1 ARB has to be used but i cant use one of them with my saxo wishbones and alloy/polly bushes
     :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x
     
     so the bushes have to come off the saxo arms and fitted on to ax wishbones
     
     also got the brakes all plumbed and sorted

     are you running ax front suspension or has it been changed. reason i ask i have some leda front legs and the are suposedly for a 106/saxo but now they are on the car the car sits very low and they look similar to your legs.

     mines allsorts lol
     i have AX GTI front struts with modified BE hub flanges, GRP N bilsteins, and AX GT wishbones
     
     LEDA struts will be ax/106/saxo ones as there all pritty much the same, the only difference is the ARB mount. AX GT's dont have a drop link, AX GTI's have a straight on as can be seen in the pic and saxo/106's have a 90 degree drop link
     
     
     
     PJN id be happy if its under 800kgs as its been seam welded, the cage has been welded in and ive fitted a BE box

     MOT will be sorted this week when i get chance to get it in the bay
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     (tape has still to come off the dash, was just on there to stop it getting scratched while i made it)
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     Ive been up the road in it and although its quick for a 16v its nothing compared to what it was

     cars :roll:
     
     Got the dash in and finished yest and took it on a little drive to get some fuel on the trade plates and all went well
     
     
     so thought id do the MOT on it today
     start with this
     
     
     look under hear
     
     
     and end up with one of these
     
     
     
     after that me and a mate decided to grab the trade plates again and go for a proper drive to shake it down, once out of the village i booted it and saw plumes of smoke from the back, pulled over and it turns out the rear tyres are rubbing on the arch under acceleration as its still a little too low and the shocks are set too soft so on sunday i raised it 10 mm at the back and adusted the shocks. once on to the bypass i thought id test it properly :mrgreen:
     its quick when it gets going but i noticed when on full throttle the coolant goes from 80 to 120
     so went back to the workshop to check it out
     
     i suppose the upside is atleast now i can skim and port the head the bloody headgasket has gone, cant complain as i did pay £100 for the engine, loom, ecu and gearbox. a bit gutted cos ive only done 10 miles in it and the engine is ythe only bit i havent had apart as it was ment to be temp.

     Amazing AX!
     
     Ive just aquied one and im looking to do the 16v conversion... Been reading the Wiki on AXOC and slowly picking it up..
     
     To fit a VTS i need a VTS engine, Gearbox and driveshafts? It fits on original mounts? And then i need a VTS engine loom mated too.. Which AX dash loom? Any (as mines a 1.0l) Or will i need a forte dash loom and VTS clocks?
     
     Sorry for the Q's amte but you seem to know your potatoes
     
     Cheers

     it doesnt have to be a vts box, any saxo, 106 or mk2 ax box will fit, the vts loom can be made to fit your dash loom no problem but i cant remember if the 1.0 has a rev counter if not later clocks will fit and saxo clocks can be made to fit.
     
     the lower gearbox mounts are all the same but you will need to fit an ax gearbox top mount and the cambelt mount needs grinding to fit round the 16v covers

     A lovely ax there. Those ports are shocking standard. Should open things up a bit now they're done.
     Only thing i'm not too fond of is the wheel

     Damn the 8v must be good if its that much better than a VTS lump
     
     Why not turbo and NOS the 16v shurely it would be even better... wait you must have been asked that a million times

     im sticking with the 8v 1 cos i want to be different and 2 cos there is no room in an ax as it is and with the size of the intercooler and rad i have there is even less
     
     plus 16v engines were close to £1k when i put the vtr lump in this in 2001

     well ive done about 300 miles of very hard driving now and had a little problem lol
     
     putting grp n mounts all round and not useing lock nuts on the custom bottom mount was not the best idea, the lower mount came undone on a spirited drive and it turns out the standard picasso driveshaft isnt quite long enough to allow for engine movement so...

     new shaft has been made and fitted in to the car
     
     
     so its back on the road and ready for DT
     
     ive also made a start on the real engine, a problem with the 8v is unlike the 16v there is no breather on the block
     there is now
     
     
     
     
     
     coming together
     
     
     and in the search for a faster 1/4, its best to follow colin chapmans words ''add lightness''
     so when a mate of mine who used to build cars to compete in the Dakar rallye, told me he had some old buckets in the loft of the workshop i said id take a look, and after offering not a lot
     
     i now have a pair of kevlar Recaro buckets that weigh 7kg's each with mounts :mrgreen:

     surely you'll need to run a gt30 or more at silly boost to achieve 300 -350?
     
     also whats the internal spec of the engine?

     not that big, CR turbos are custom building me a turbo to work with my cam and im running quite high comp as i have water inj
     i dont want to go too big with the turbo as i can only rev to 7.5k

     btw, you got those injectors still?

     the spec is custom between me and marc at CR turbos
     its a non wastegated exhaust housing, a modified compressor houseing and 360 thrust
     its designed to be on full boost by 3k rpm and will flow enough for 360bhp but can be modified in the future if needed to 420bhp, i am resricted with space between the block and rad so didnt want an off the shelf turbo
     
     the guy who balances my engines got me a set of brand new woosner forged rods for under £500, im having a flange made for the manifold and external wastegate and once i have them i can make the manifo0ld and screamer pipe
     
     yes mate still got them

     im making my own exhaust (turbo) manifold atm, have you came up with anything yet? got any designs your leaning towards?
     what size tube you going to use?
     
     ive got my design pretty made up now. keep it simple is the way forward i feel (simple, not shit lol)

     when i was going to do mine, i planned on seeing what the ex ports could be opened up to max, then finding a tube near that size but slightly smaller so the mani could be port matched to the head. simple is good unless your purging it.... the less welds the better

     bigger isnt better though when it comes to turbo manifolds... smaller primarys keep gas speed up and spin the turbo up quicker.
     ive got some tube but its a big big for my liking, its about the same sze as the dp engineering manifold. id rather have smaller but nevermind.

     ive found a standard exhaust manifold that has almost identical port sizeing to the vtr and is perfect to mount a turbo to, just need to swap the flange and adapt to fit the wastegate, once i have the engine run in the turbo will be fitted and trailerd up to janspeed to have the downpipe modified to fit the new turbo
     
     i think the dp ones are too big and will induce a very small amount of lag (although i have direct port nos to stop lag)

     ahh right, thats pretty much what ive got.
     
     turbo looks good mate, i would like a non wastegated turbo but im going to have to go for a wastegated one and tack the trap door shut

     my plan was to go 4 to imediate 2, to 1 so this was the way i planned mine would still keep spool up to a decent rate but not be too restrictive, my plan was hinged around a fairly smallish turbo as it was all fairly low boost when i planned it... plans have since changed though lol

     ill be honest, even a bodged up standard manifold will be good enough for most peoples conversions. for other manufacturers you can buy cast "log" manifolds that are totally to cock in terms of "equal length tuning" but still flow 400hp+. this is the nature of turbos. from what ive read the diameter of the pipe is pretty important but we will harldy notice on our "trackday", "road" cars.

     what mani if you dont mind me asking mate?, just curious, i think the dp mani's will cause alot of lag on a fairly decent size charger, theyve got too much length about them

     yeah, turbo's flow well with pretty shit mani's tbh lol, forced incuction ftw!, simo's is a fine example of whats esentially a pretty basic mani, which is flowing pretty high bhp figures, my mani issues are sorted now as i bought jason's kit.....
     
     
     ......well for now, i think once im all fitted up i may begin fitting up and making a 16v set up for when i get bored

     cut the cat off at the collector and weld on the correct flange
     
     the middle 2 pipes are almost perfect and the outer 2 just too wide, but a cut and reweld and there perfect
     
     
     my old setup had a vtr cast manifold with a t25 flange welded on and that did 200 bhp easy, ive only gone to this type as i need an external because of the nos

     thats a pretty good find tbh mate! how did you manage to stumble across that? should be easy as fook to get the other two in place!
     
     your old set up ran 200bhp? was that on standalone of mf2? pressure? just trying to gauge what im gonna make on pred at 1bar.
     
     im thinking of building a 16v on the side next year , looking at those gt25/28 import things from america, see how long the last, for £160 if it lasts 6 months itll be a laugh,nice external w/g should go well (this is for the ax plans)
     
     you need to hurry up with this mate! i want to see a super powered 8v coke can rip some awesome 1/4 miles

     the old setup was on a dastek running 18 psi on a T2/T25 hydrid
     
     ive been looking at manifolds for years trying to find one that was close, i tried that one when i was doing a head gasket on one and its the closest ive seen, i do have a 4-2-1 i was going to bastardise but this is closer
     
     my plan is to have it running for march and get it to the strip, show these 16v how its done

     18psi from a t2/25 hybrid? thats quite high.... did the turbo last? im thinking of taking my t25 to turbo solutions in darlington and getting them go hybrid on mine.... depending on how much they'll charge(theres also a turbo technics t25 hybrid the same unit as mine on ebay not far from me, but hes after daft money), what power exactly did yours make mate? im going pred and was gonna try crack 16psi out of my unit the way it is, by my rekoning it should be capable of kissing 200bhp, but im not sure what its gonna make :/ ..... and that annoys me some what lol
     
     as said, i cant wait to see this finished, 8v powa! ill stop spaming your thread now

     as i planed on running the car at the pod in march i thought id better start with its rebuild
     
     ive got the bottom end back from being balanced, it was blanced with the old clutch and flywheel and im glad i had it redone
     
     this is the balance prior to drilling
     
     
     and this is after
     
     
     as you can see its near on perfect now so should have no problems reving to 8.5k, the guy who did the balancing said hes built loads of roller rocker 8v engines for raceing and he revs them to 8.2k so fingers crossed it will hold at them revs :?
     
     
     
     honed the block and fitted the new ACL bearings with paste so i can fit the crank back in
     
     
     
     
     
     also received the new rings from omega so got them fitted now just waiting for the woosner rods that should be here this week
     
     
     also converted to block to run a jp4 crank case breather
     
     
     
     then converted my AP release bearing to work in the BE box
     
     
     on the down side the S1 inlet doesnt have anywhere to fit the nitrous jets very easily and after checking space it seems the turbo is a little bigger than i 1st thought so the pipes i have for the manifold wont work so back to the drawing board on that

     im not sure mate, i might just convert a standard vtr one for now untill i can spare the £1k for a custom primary designs one
     the only problem i have converting a standard one is my turbo in non gated so i have to run an external wastegate

     thats an awsome looking mani
     i can tig weld and ive had an 8v flange and t3 flange laser cut out of black steel, i just cant find any pipes/bends to use for it anywhere
     my other problem is its in an ax and i dont have the room you have in a 106, my turbo has to sit alot closer to the block

     ive tried everything i can to get them shorter but thats the best i can get them, it shouldnt be too bad as i have a maximiser so can compensate for the pipe length

     such amaising work gone into this m8.
     i love it looks the nuts, and such a great build.
     nitrous is tight, will be helping fit direct port to my m8s vts on friday, but standard 16v inlet has more space by the looks.
     will be monstrous when back on the road.

     i fitted direct port on the vts lump i had last year (but never filled the bottle) there is some pics further back in this blog
     i still have the lower half of the inlet i drilled for the injectors if its any help, that way he will have a standard inlet to go back on if he wants at a later date

     looks like it wont be ready for FCS as i just have too much work on and no time to do mine (still quite a bt to do)
     
     ive sold my old seats so have to make new subframes for the recaros, but now the turbo is in i want to get it to janspeed to have the down pipe modified to fit the new turbo
     
     manifold made
     
     
     
     
     
     i know the runers are not the same length but being in an AX i dont have the space to do it any other way
     
     another job to do is make a loom for the new ECU
     
     
     this also has to wire in to the water injection and the nitrous controler

     lol, be worth it though! should be a serious AX
     
     my NEW trust bearing is noisey as fuck and is squeling evry now and again, even louder now ive adjusted the clutch back a bit as bite was quite high
     
     in two mind on whether to buy a new valeo and whip the box off on sat or not, could really do without it failing and the noise is doing my head in

     helix with 4 paddle usprung plate-its pretty brutal tbh
     
     but the bearing was squeeling abdly on first start, before it was even engaged, thought it was engine related, squeals alot less now, just abit noisey, but since i eased the cabe of a bit earlier tonight its noisey as fuck again
     
     EDIT- did want an uprated bearing but couldnt find one, everyone i asked said it would be fine on a standard, so got CG motor sport to suply me a standard when thy relined the paddle plate

     well not good news, got to janspeed at 8am and yogi there fabricator asked for the 4 bolt flange for the downpipe (the one the guy in the office said i woundnt need as they would have one ) so an hours drive to CR turbos and £40 later (one i could of had made for free my my fabricator) and an hours drive back to janspeed, yogi then said the turbo is too close to the alternator for a 2.5'' pipe and the manifold pipes are too thin and will break over time, so im now remaking the whole manifold from 3mm tube and cutting the slave cyl lugs off the gearbox so i can move the turbo over
     
     im pissed off cos the car still needs mapping (and i have to finish the loom) and its booked on the train to go to paris in sept
     (and i have another turbo ax to build as its booked on the same train llo)

     as the mk1 manifold isnt any good, i started on the mk2
     
     start with a flat plate of steel
     
     
     
     program what you want it to look like
     
     
     then sit back and watch
     
     
     
     
     
     
     also managed to get a genuine cossie 3 bar map sensor
     
     
     
     the manifold is being Tigd thi week and the car is back off to janspeed on the 4th of aug, then off for mapping on the 5th

     manifold is done
     
     
     
     turbo is all fitted up and back on
     
     
     
     added oil return to the sump and made up an oil drain for the turbo
     
     
     
     then once the sump was on ive got some joe gibbs breaking in mineral oil from the states
     
     
     
     then the final piece, the screamer pipe :mrgreen:
     
     
     
     
     
     
     i know it looks untidy but im short on space

     apart from the downpipe it is , i did try starting it today but the crank sensor needs setting in the ecu and for some reason my laptop wont talk to my DTA
     
     i like the shiny andrew, im looking for an alloy brake fluid cover (and it took days to get the inlet that shiny lol) the screamer and manifold will be coated white

     Coming along nicely and how you squeeze it into that tiny enginebay is beyond me understand why you went 8v now
     I spy water injection pump or is it being used for the NOS injection?
     Thx.

     #349 28th July 2011, 21:12

     water/methanol injection AND direct port nitrous with a progressive controller
     
     although the nos is on its own second map and the water/meth wont be used on that map
     
     i want to see how the 8v setup works for now, but if i do get bored i have a JP4 head and will mke an inlet for it

     Intresting mix, didnt think you could mix o2/meth & nos...
     
     All the reading up I have done up on o2/meth injection makes me think its such a good idea and setup properly can do so much good to a turbo charged engine, even if its a low pressure none progressive setup, I am tempted by one of the progressive o2/meth kits but would love to hear your opinion on these as there is just a wash of them out there...
     
     Thanks.

     you can run water and nos but nos has the same cooling properties as water but acts as a better fuel so the water just takes up the space the nos could be in
     
     ive only used pure water in the past not mixed with meth, ive read some great results of scoobys adding 10% meth in to the fuel tank
     
     im hopeing i can get some good results on mine even though it isnt a progressive one, mines just a Aquamist 1s i bought about 6 years ago

     there are 2 compnys, cam coat and zircotec
     cam coat are cheaper but the zircotec one is a better quality
     
     not sure on cost yet but i think it will be about £200 ish
     
     ive had to cancel the mapping for this week as i cant get my laptop to talk to my DTA (it talks to emerald no problem) so i cant do the basic settings, i think its a windows 7 problem with DTASwin

     finally got chance to go and get my car from janspeed
     while there i saw a nice one having a system made
     
     
     now the good bit
     
     
     
     
     and wrapped the screamer
     
     (i know there is a plastic cable tie on there but im waiting for the metal ones to turn up, and the rust showing on the manifold and turbo was due to the torential rain when i trailerd it down)
     
     these also turned up last week

     doesnt matter mate, the dongle will install the drivers for wireless through the dongle, see f you can borrow a mates a download it

     your right on the quality its awsome although i have a center box that i might be selling and getting a straight through made up, im not bothered about noise regs as im sure the screamer will fail them anyway

     sweet, what you planning on putting it up to? or are you just going to graduate it everytime you get bored....id probs graduate it 4-5 psi at a time, keeps things interesting
     
     although that depends how much your mapper charges for maps tweaks...

     once its run in the full power map will be at the maximum boost engine can handle, i can turn it down on the dash to get used to it but even when im used to the full power i have the nitrous to play with and have a box here with all the jets from 25bhp to 250bhp (but my suply line will only handle 150bhp so might have to change that )
     
     you only live once ha ha, ill be playing about with the gearing aswell to see if i can get 180mph

     back on the rollers today for the running in map, 1st problem was it melted the top of the dipstick then got an interference problem on the crank sensor i think as i loose rpm signal at 5k (ive heard of people having problems with the later unsheilded sensor with aftermarket ECU's)
     so it was mapped at wastgate pressure up to 5k and ill sort the sensor and run it in then back for more mapping at higher boost and up to 7.5k rpm
     
     the good side is at 10psi and only reving to 5k it made 150bhp@wheels and was coming on full boost by 3k

     loving this mate, full bost by 3k? thats fucking good on that turbo! youll not need a high ev limit then
     
     probs due to how close the turbo is the the exhaust ports..getting full velocity of exhaust gas to the turbo

     yes the turbo was speced specially for my engine/cam combination and im limited on rev limit as i have a roller rocker engine
     it also has the option to make it flow over 400bhp but will come on boost 500rpm later but looking at how it did today ill prob stay with it as it is (plus ive always got the nos to go yet)
     
     i just cant wait to drive it now

     tbh martin.. 25psi on your engine in an AX should be quick enough without the NOS...theres only soo much you cna use!! lol
     
     cant wait to see some graphs and videos
     
     and of course what it puts a 1/4 mile in

     the 1/4 mile is what im interested in though

     well last weekend was the AXOC euro trip to the citroen factory in paris
     and aswell as planning on taking mine i had to finish another ax gti turbo aswell, well they both made it there and back without any problems (well a snapped spedo cable on the gti and a mini hitler not wanting to let me on the train with the nos bottle)
     
     after a bit of a detour its safe to say its now run in so will be off for final mapping next week, the boost is only set to 8 psi and not 10 as i 1st thought and it doesnt come on song till 4k (which only reving to 5.5k was crap ) but should be good once mapped

     always loved the sound of boddies, did some work on magojase 106 and it sounds awsome also my best mate has a boddied 306 rallye and love the sound but id rather have the sheer power of a turbo

     i need more buttons on my steering wheel for a few functions on my ECU and seeing some wheels in the GT cars i had a few ideas
     
     i saw one of these
     
     
     
     but at £68+vat and me being a tight arse i did something else :mrgreen:
     
     take one sheet of 2mm alloy sheet
     
     
     a plasma cutter and a file and
     
     
     
     not perfect but was alot cheaper than the OMP one
     
     got 2 more red buttons coming to go on the top parts, this also gets around the problem of not being able to reach the starter button with the harness on, also as the wheel is removable it means without this wheel you cant start the car [/quote]

     what power did it make

     #421 22nd February 2012, 10:32

     248bhp and 236lbs/ft @20psi, it made 220bhp @15psi so its being strangled over 1 bar
     i think the exhaust manifold is holding it back as it hits 5k and the power just drops off . ill make a new manifold with bigger primarys and longer runners next winter so i can at least use the car this year
     
     due to my gearing it under reads the power figures on the rollers, i have a 0.8 4th gear so the figure is about 20% off the real power so with a 1.1 4th its closer to 300bhp@fly but has alot more to come as the turbo should make power up to the redline, i didnt want to run the water/meth untill the other issue is sorted but it should still be fun to drive this year
     
     it took 3 of us sat on the slam panel to stop it lifting out of the rollers lol

     standard size valves mate but cut back with a heavily ported head

     As the above, looks like fuelling, as that is a serious drop off. On that graph did you try to run it up to the redline, and that was the result?

     yes adam it was run up to the limiter but as soon as it hit 5.5k ish you could see the power drop off
     
     not sure what they were running at
     
     jamie did say before he started he didnt think 390cc's were big enough, and now you say pump i have a sytec one thats only rated to 300bhp

     im running 440s at about 60-70% iirc? at 218bhp (ill have to check)
     
     id say your injectors would have been maxxed out at that power???
     
     EDIT- the 337 ones i got off you were hitting 80% at 163bhp when i was using 10psi..but it was overfueling alot aswel

     i was hopeing you would se this sandy (although i guess you need more info than just the graph)
     
     not sure on the dip, the powere band of the cam is 3-7k, i didnt know what to make of the dip or the suddon power loss
     
     it will be on the rollers next weekend at surrey RR so ill see if the dip at 2.5 is there on their rollers
     
     
     i took it out for a drive yesterday and i need 4 pots lol, my master cyl has gone aswell so was a bit scary but once on boost its just mental, it still had the shit tyres on i had on for mapping so had no grip but christ it fast.
     
     its a bit too laggy for the track and road but should be ok on the strip, i might look at swapping to a .48 housing, i know it will loose a bit of power but that wont affect it too much lol

     Can you not do more to reduce the lag? Smaller pipes?. Mod the rallye inlet etc?

     its only running 2 inch pipes as it is fitting smaller inlet would reduce the lag ill get some vids on sat Matt

     Yeah you don't really wanna go smaller then that
     
     Sounds like its time for a custom inlet mate
     
     Could remove the rear of the rallye one and have the plenum made shallower... But if going that extent I suppose a custom would be better

     got to love this car, managed to fit the 23.8mm master cyl
     
     
     
     but then found it had filled the servo with brake fluid and fucked it, the pain being on an ax with an S1 inlet the inlet has to come offf to change the servo
     
     
     
     finding one is a pain so ive pinched one from a customers ax turbo for now, double pain in the ass as his has an S1 inlet aswell
     
     
     
     
     wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt ment to be going to the RR day on sat

     looking good. What tyres and torsion bars are you using? should be able to stop a lot of wheel spin with some upgrades

     had an RR day with sax p on sat at surrey RR (will be in a future Pfc)
     car made 262@18psi, i had the laptop on so i could run the data logger and looking at it after the run the injectors are 94% @6k so need bigger ones so i can turn up the boost, ive also got a feeling the pump isnt up to the job so ive found an aeromotve 340lph pump that will fit straight in (i have a sytec one for sale tim )
     
     was out driving the car most of the day sat and still cant get over how quick it is and how good the brakes now are, almost crashed my van on the way home as i was expecting the brakes to be as good as the ax lol
     
     its too laggy for road/track really so will leave aLL the upgrades till winter so i can put a new turbo houseing on and have it all remapped with anothe 10psi

     looking good tweeqd,good to see that drop at 2k-3k has gone
     
     is that 260 @ the wheels with 18psi as thats around what mine makes at 18psi on a 2860rs with a stock head.
     
     from what i can see it does seem a tad laggy,but im sure some turbo modifications will sort that out video was awsom though

     well after the 1st shake down at santa pod it was disapointing
     
     i knew it was laggy (new exhaust housing and manifold waiting to go on) but thought i would take it and see what it could do in this state (only running 1 bar, NO nos and a standard open diff)
     ive streched the gears out as long as i could to drop the revs to the start of it boosting but didnt account for wheel spin so from 1st to 3rd it drops off the boost due to the road speed not matching the engine speed and then takes time to build up, so the 1st 1/8th is spent wheel spinning and dropping off boost and taking 10 secs, the last 1/8th gets traction and is covered in 4 secs crossing at 110mph
     with the new turbo it will still be in boost when i change gear and with the new manifold i can run another 12 psi and the nitrous so can knock a few secs off my best time so far

     well the car hasnt really moved since the fast show (i did use it for a few days to go to and from work) but lots of work on and moving/decorating the new workshop so had no time to sort a new manifold
     
     after i drive on the GrpN billies i didnt like them, there isnt enough weight in the back of my AX to make them work so sold them and replaced them with a set of B8's
     
     
     
     
     also received this from the states today aswell

     well i was invited by PFC to put the car in the paddock suite at donnington
     
     
     
     
     with the geabox having crap ratios in i decided not to do any track time but after spending all day there and having towed the car on a trailer i thought sod it and bought 30 mins at the end of the day (having been purswaded by Gareth_r)
     
     well having not planed to run it it only had 1/4 tank of fuel, and having 1/4 tank and a standard fuel setup is a very bad idea
     i have to appologise to all the people on the last session if i held you up out the back of the track as every bend i went round the standard swirl pot ran dry and i lost all power, it went like fuck on the straight but had no fuel round the corners

     decided to have a play about with the gearbox mainly cos i could
     
     
     
     
     
     now running a BE4R/6 speed conversion
     
     also the running in map i had done last year seems to have fucked a piston so i thought id change the engine spec a little
     
     JP4 block and head
     PEC forged rods
     Woosner pistons
     J4 springs and lifters
     J4 exhaust cam
     J4 708 inlet cam
     Tweeqd/Rover inlet manifold
     Turbo smart FPR
     630cc injectors
     Tweeqd custom fuel rail
     
     
     
     
     just need to finish making the manifold
     
     
     
     also done away with the switch for the nos and bought a TPS box

     Its been 'running' for over a year.
     
     However its not finished and not on the road as ive been spending alot of money on a complete kit overhaul for my work.
     
     ECU was fine in the end though, but there were a few niggles martin had to work through (things like stuck injectors etc..)

     Is there room to wrap it? I think even with zircotec or something it's still too close. You may be better with decent wrap tbh.

     Any room o run a heat shield on the user side of the bonnet? So get it coated and when bonnet is shut it deflects heat down over to spot it melting the paint?
     
     Can imagine its still gonna get pretty hot

     chers joe
     
     wheels off for coating
     
     
     
     
     ran it up yeast to make sure it was all good for mapping and noticed the alt had died, ordered a new one that turned up at 5:30, fitted it and that was dead so loaded up anyway and went off for mapping
     
     got to jamsort today for the running in map, got her up and running and the bloody thermostat housing had cracked so bodged it back on and carried on, mapped up to 4.2k. turbo starts spooling at 3.8k and is boosting by 4k
     
     
     
     got her home tonight and fitted the new alt, also a new housing and an 82 degree stat
     then drove to portsmouth to add some miles, feels awsome up to 4k and the 6 speed is wicked

     My exhaust cam cover started to melt closest to the manifold - I've since got zircotec so don't know if it would happen now - but a skim of J4 covers and curil T and my J4's have never leaked at all.

     On standard j4 followers so set the limit to 7800
     the bottom end is forged and balanced so will easy see 9k, if the turbo is still pulling at 7.8 I might go for solid lifters and see what it makes
     
     This box on my tyres should see 168mph
     
     Got the wheels back today so if I have time I'll fit them later

     The splitter is 2 from a mk2 golf small bumper gti
     ( the golf isnt as wide so needs to be made of 2 spliters)
     
     
     If you supply a be4 and a be3/6 i can convert for £100
     There is only 2 differences between the standard be conversion and this, 1 being the hole needed in the chassis leg and the other that would be the only prob with a sacthchift ( and the reason i havent fitted one) is the lift up reverse setup on the gearlever

     there's no difference 5 to speed, reverse stop is something you'll have to figure yourself, wont be hard though.
     
     I have seen a diesel stop solenoid utilised as it happens, so you could have a button you press before selecting reverse, or stick to cable with a bike brake lever.

     #555 23rd February 2013, 20:21

     aswelsh says apart fromthe box sticking through the chassis its exactly the same as the normal BE conversion
     
     the cable doesnt move that far (max half inch) so just needs something making up to fit the gearlever (the gti6system wont work with the nylon sach gearknob ) i used a gti6 lever as it was easy but prob wouldnt be that hard to adapt something, most vauxhalls and mk1 clios use the lift up reverse
     
     
     the downside ofthe 6 speed be is there isnt the choice of gears there is with the 5 speed and unless you have mega money you cant do bugger all with the FD

     running now finished i took it back to jamsprt for mapping
     
     
     
     202bhp and 200lbs/ft at 7psi
     
     turned it up to 18psi and fuel dropped off at 5.5k, turns out the boost was pushing the injectors out, modified the fuel rail mounts to hold it in place but ran out of time so will go back at a later date for mapping at 30psi and water/meth
     
     at 18psi it did make 310bhp (270bhp@wheels) with a bit more fine tuning of the ign to come

     seals are ok but its a custom rail and my mounts were shit lol,
     
     
     just couldnt hold it, it now has thick alloy mounts welded on so defo wont move but i broke a bolt off while putting the inlet back on, it will take me 2 mins to get out with my own tools so rather than block up the rollers ive brought her home and will go back either before or after the fast show
     
     got a RR day at JKM in pompy this sat so will see what it makes at 23psi (ecu scaling will make it safe at that) with the fuel issue sorted then back to jamsport for the final mapping
     
     
     hopefully get it out on the road tomorrow

     Very Impressed Martin. Great power so far no matter which way you look at it! With that water meth it's going to make a nice difference I know it! It's going to be sooo different to drive than the 8v setup lol..

     cheers mate cant wait to drive it
     170@wheels on 8psi
     270@wheels on 18psi
     so 28 psi with water/meth should be fun, then ive got the nos to add aswell

     Went to a rolling road day at jkm with the mk5 golf forum, my mate took his 320bhp edition 30 golf and another mate took a 440bhp rs4 and neither of them could keep anywhere near the ax on the road
     
     
     Also gad a play with an r6 on the way home and he stopped and asked what was in it as not many cars can pull clean past a bike at a ton +

     299 on jims rollers at 18psi but the power goes flat at 5k cos it needs more ign, more timing and boost should see a healthy rise in power

     Well went back to Jamsport today for final mapping, added lots mor ign and upped the boost
     due to only haveing a 7psi spring in the wastgate and a crappy bleed valve/boost controler we couldnt get more than 22 psi
     so power run at 22 psi saw
     
     http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=...27280037951988
     
     i was run in 6th and had to put 5 straps on to try and stop it wheel spinning
     
     
     
     
     needless to say im quite happy with that, once i sort the boost issue it will see 30 psi
     we did run the water/meth bt jamie was reluctant to add ign as there is no fail safe on my system so if it stops i wont know and it will melt pistons so ill be adding a few fail safe systems to get over that
     
     no to run it at the pod and then next week start playing with the nos
     
     the rollers made a mess of my toyos
     
     
     so fitted a brand new pair of 888's to the front

     Looking really good for when it gets full boost then bud, really good figure already, should crack the 400bhp mark easy enough....any plans to up the limiter to widen powerband?? Will be still making power at limiter when it gets 2 bar.

     just been discussing that with someone else, its only running standard j4 springs and followers so i set it to 7400 but might move it to 7800
     
     need to know what people run the J4 stuff to ?
     
     ordering a new spring for the wastgate so will be able to turn it up but will have to run it as it is for the pod this weekend

     No you can shim the seats of the springs too increase the poundage.
     As he's still on hydro's too
     Tbh I'll be going uprated with mine not because of revs but because of boost pushing the valves open. Seen it many times.

     That doesnt increase the spring rate, it will however increase the seated force on the valve/seat. You would also have to check for spring travel to see how much you could shim the spring.

     Phormula KS4..... I had the KS3 for my scooby a while back they do a whole Tunerkit inc get cans for about £400 really good piece of kit when dialed in, other option old school, piece of 8mm copper pipe flattened and split at one end so it can be bolted to the head, block, then some silicon hose from it into the car, then a set of ear defenders and a y piece... drill a hole in each of the defenders, insert a 10 inch length of hose into each, join together with the Y then connect the piece from the car to it homemade stethoscope works a treat.... but you look a tit driving around with them on lol

     Quite a lot of modern cars can display a real time knock count from the ecu with the right logging software, so det cans arent always needed, but on the standalone stuff its always best to have knock monitoring gear, det cans are best as they dont need calibrating for normal engine noise ect before use, cant beat hearing it for yourself on every pull imo, advanced ecu's come with knock control built in, but the dta generally it isnt really doable.

     Cracking result martin well done mate!
     
     Any idea why power is trailing off at the top end though? Are you running completely stock j4 uppers? Cams etc? With my gt30 power was climbing on the limiter. Yours should too I thought.
     
     I run catcam single springs (not shimmed or owt). Sinus valves and custom cams. Limiter is around 7750 iirc.
     
     Really really pleased with that result for you mate - well done again!

     mark not sure what jamie uses apart from just listening for it
     
     Ross its a JP4 ported head with J4 springs and followers and a j4 ex cam and j4 newmand PH3 inlet, it could be the cams that are trailing it off, there on custom timing marks so would love to get it back on the dyno and play with them or maybe get the turbo ex cam (ill see how it does in ians 16v ax when i finish buiilding that), it will still make more when i up the boost but for now im just going to drive it and get some use out of it
     
     oh and next week im off to get the nitrous bottle filled

     #595 14th March 2013, 10:31

     I bet it's the overlap from that PH3 trailing off the boost. You might actually make more power with stock J4 cams you know. Worth experimenting if you've the dyno time for sure. The cat cams turbo spec cams are good too - they're what I made 400hp+ on and if you've seen that graph power is still climbing hard on the limiter.
     
     Mind you - we're talking pub figures here because with your cars weight adding another 50hp is kinda pointless anyway - I'm not sure it'll be 50hp's "worth" faster whilst you're spinning through the gears

     Im currently using a electronic det can and find it very useful, along with a copper det can as a back up. Just wondering what others use, and it seems the traditional ways are still the best in the aftermarket world. Good to know.

     Can't speak for what others use, but the lumenition set up my mapper uses works great, clear and, loud alarm soon as any det occurs, and it runs the same knock sensor as an oe Saxo one, so simple plug and play
     
     I wanted to get one for mine for piece of mind, but last time I looked i could only find stuff in America for £450-600
     
     Tweaks seem to be selling them just shy of £400
     
     But there's one on ebay now for £125, if anyone wants one that's a fucking steal

     It is a .63 housing but dont think thats the prob
     The ph3 is more or less the same spec as the cat cam turbo inlet, ive got a feeling it might be the exhaust only being 2.5 inch or the exhaust cam not gettting it out as quick as the inlet gets it in

     Do you find problems with really high boost/revs combinations causing the valves to hang open because of the intake pressures? 30psi or so on the back of the valves at 7700rpm must be on the verge of floating the intake?
     
     Edit: *awesome* car by the way

     Yes was there for both days, arrived at 8am and they tried to make me park in the weekend parking in a soggy field, with a fully loaded iveco van with trailer
     
     I sacked off that idea and parked next to the rwyb pits, the weather was crap and i did get one run, although as i was about to line up the marshal told me noone has run 888's on the new track so be carfull if launching hard
     Ive only driven this engine on gone off road tyres so didnt launch hard and changed to 2nd way too soon and bogged down so was neally half way down the strip before it boosted
     Hence the crap 13.8@112
     
     Plenty more to come with a better launch and some practice lol, the tyres are brand new and gripped alot more than i thought they would

     Assumption I guess from all the comments I've seen that basically expect pod to be able to control the weather, or let them run on a wet track when they have no idea how slippy it is with the slightest bit of moisture.
     So I apologise.
     
     The surface is no where near ready yet really, an I think it'll be a couple of months before we see some good times on it. I have seen some one spun his 9 inch wide drag slicks most of the track.

     For having a slow start it still ran a pretty good time IMO, easy shave a lot off that with a bit more time driving it

     not done alot with the car due to bad weather recently
     i did raise the rear 40mm as it was sat way to low at the back and swapped the B8 rears for some GAZ adjustables
     
     ventured back to the pod on sat for the RWYB day prior to RS day as a mate was running his vauxhall powerd mk1 escort so thought id get some track time in myself
     1st run being a 13.1 @116 then 13.5@117, 12.8@118, 12.7@115
     then
     12.69@112.77
     
     after that run it deveopled a missfire and i had no tools to try and sort it as i towed it up with my e class not the van so loaded it back on the trailer and sat and watched the racing
     
     my launches were getting better so with a bit of practice its got a low 12 in in for sure, and thats with toyo 888's in full road spec, no cheating drag tyres
     
     
     
     i did do a run at the end of the day in the tow car for a laugh but held it in the revs on the foot brake on the line and overheated the auto box so the ecu shut it down at 1/8th a mile so was left sitting there for 10 secs untill it would restart lol

     in all the years ive been at the pod ive never lost a race, 1 st 3 were against a civic type r, i stopped after run 3 and let him race someone else so he would have a chance of beating someone
     then raced a 5 door 206 then a guy in a 360bhp K tec turbo 182, he was quite cocky saying how fast is was, think he ran a 15.2 to my 12.6

     need to sort the missfire 1st, i turned the boost up a bit on sat and was still running the plugs it was mapped on, its melted one of them and with a new set of plugs still has a missfire and low comp on a cyl when starting so need to get the head off
     
     hopefully its a bit of plug holding a valve open and not damage to a piston, i only turned it up to 25psi and had the water /meth on

     Well the head is off and melted a valve on 3 with a slight mark on top of the piston but could of been much worse, sachshift should be here this week and a water/meth controler so i can get it mapped to 30psi with wmi, ive also got a gizmo ibc-r which can control boost to rpm
     Should see over 400bhp then i have nos to go on top

     Small update time, been so busy this last 6 weeks not had time to spend on the ax but did get a couple of hours this week
     
     The sachshift is designed to fit behind standard vt sax brace bars but on a saxo they can be unbolted, on mine they are welded on
     [URL=http://s6.photobucket.com/user/VTRturbo16/media/A16%20AXT/image_zpsbf838235.jpg.html]
     
     
     This means the sach has to be cut and welded to fit
     
     
     
     Other bugger is the sach passes through my dash, right where one of the fuse boxes was, i moved the box but the hole didnt look right so making a new dash
     
     Old one
     
     
     
     New one
     
     
     
     Also bought a flow meter and controler for the WMI so can make the most of it with the map
     
     
     
     And got a good deal on some new pads
     
     
     On top of that i have a boost control valve that will be wired to the ecu and a speed sensor for a rear wheel so i can set boost in gear in the map so wont be launching with full power which will help lower times at the pod
     Also got some poly rear windows coming
     Plan is to get it all done and mapped so i can get to japshow at pod in sept and run a little bit of nos and see what she does

     I wasnt happy with my rubber fuel lines and brass fittings, they worked but didnt like the idea of jubilee clips and 5 bar of fuel pressure
     
     Custom made PTFE braided fuel lines with AN fittings
     
     
     
     Fitted with my custom alloy fuel rail
     
     
     
     Engine all back together
     
     
     
     
     
     And the flow sensor fitted for the water/meth controler
     
     
     
     
     Also now have what i beleive is the 1st 6 speed sachshift

     looks excellent Martin!

     Really looks good mate - looking forward to seeing it running properly.

     There denso ikh 24 john (heat range 8)
     
     On the road it normally sits about 90ish, even driving hard on track doesnt go over 100
     It gets hot if sat running as the fan is too small but as long as its kept moving its ok
     I think the problem with the valve was due to 5 consecutive runs with no cooldown inbetween then being hel on the line for 5 mins allowing the water to get to 110, i should of done a slow run to cool down but i gave it hell, got a 12.6 and popped it lol
     
     Cheers ross dying to get it back n the road now, got a few more bits to wire in then off to steve for mapping
     
     
     Im using the old dash, will be going back in on sat along with the new toys that need wiring in
     Wmi controller that will shut down the boost controller when it sees a water fault which will revert back to gate pressure (11psi)
     
     Rear axle speed sensor so i can program in gear boost and use the traction control
     
     Electric boost control for different boost levels in each gear
     
     TPS box for the nitrous and wire in the map switch to automatically swith to the nitrous map when the maximiser is switched on
     
     Steering wheel buttons for NOS, launch control and engine start button
     
     
     Also just ordered some evans waterless coolant to use instead of water/antifreeze
     Hopefully will help the fact it has such a small fan, the down side being with the prep fluid its £150

     oh PLEASE remember to message me when it's going to steves - I'm off work for a while at the moment so will 100% come down and see you and have a catch up
     
     I have the evans stuff but haven't run the engine up yet so cant report back - but internet reviews seem very good. Hope it helps you.

     So what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 6 speed over the 5 speed box then?
637. tweeqd Established Member Joined: Mar 2006 Farnham Surrey Posts: 1542 AX GT 16v turbo 6 speed with NOS 205 gti6 E 320

     #637 29th August 2013, 18:51

     Disadvantage is you cant change ratios or final drive, the 6 speed is made with paired gears so cant be swapped
     And there is only 2 final drives, 4.02 for a gti6 and 3.9 for the rallye
     
     The advantage for me is the t34 is quite laggy (not on full boost till 4.1k)
     The 6 speed keeps it in the power all the time and cruising at 80mph its only doing 2.4k rpm
     
     
     Its prob a bit short for drag use ( i have a 5 speed ill play about with for that) but its awsome on the road with no lag
     The main reson i fitted the 6 speed was to see if it could be done, i like a challenge

     its not a wallye/gti6 thing the different ratios, but an early/late thing.

     Ill have to have a look at what mine is, didnt bother checking when i fitted the atb
     
     It feels very short geared at the pod, over the line in 4th @ 112 but pulls past 160mph on the road

     So are the ratios shorter? If so would that not induce more wheel spin??

     Its a longer fd than most.
     
     Its a be3 or 4/6 from a gti6/rallye with a tu- be4 bellhousing bolted on plus mods.

     As welshpug says, its a picasso be4 conversion( done properly so sat level)
     But then ive modded the box to takea gti6 gearbox

     #644 1st September 2013, 17:51

     Its alive
     
     
     
     Dash all back in and wired up
     
     
     
     
     Engine ECU now controls boost electronically, and the boost solenoid powers throught the water/meth controler so if the water flow stops or the level sensor in the tank detects low water it cut power and drops down to 10 psi, its also linked so a speed sensor so i can set different boost levels in each gear
     
     Aswell as that i fitted a potentiometer to the EcU to control the traction control, it can turn TC off or i can vary the agresiveness from hard to soft
     
     Also have the launch control button on the steering wheel so can hold the rpm at a preset level while the button is depressed or set the launch and it will turn off automatically once a certain road speed is aceived
     
     
     
     I wosh now though i had put the pot on the steering wheel, the start button is now on the wheel though as being on the dash ment if i stalled the car while i have the harness on i had to unbuckle to start the car again, now its easy and also means once the steering wheel is removed the car cant be started

     Very good Martin.
     Have you got speed sensors on all four wheels? Is the traction control through the Ecu?

     #646 1st September 2013, 19:57

     No just one rear wheel, it works out slip by comparing rpm to road speed
     Cuts spark when it senses slip but can change how harsh it cuts
     Ive only got the s60 so its the only way it can do it, the s80 and s100 use all 4 wheels
     
     Just need to play with it all now, and work out how to up the boost lol
     
     Even off boost stil felt good to be driving it again

     The only difference in the 6 speed is the cable for lift up reverse
     Ive put a push bike lever on the gearlever to operate the cable

     Apart from a fucked thermostat, ax made dt and back with no issues although did play with the launch control and even in the wet it awsome, can pull away cleanly with 300 bhp in the pissing rain
     Needs more power though, i was only running a bar of boost and struggled to keep up with ians 700bhp 911,
     Past 120 he was pulling away but did pull to just over 160mph
     There are traces of smoke so i think the valve letting go in the summer has damaged the block again
     
     Not much has happened with the ax since dt, shes tucked away in her new home
     
     
     
     Im in the process at the mo of moving workshops so dec and jan wont give me any time on the car as ill be moving and painting and sorting out the paper work for the 2 mot bays, class 4 cars and class 1 and 2 motor bikes
     
     
     
     
     
     I have though bought some new tyres, my rear 888's were worn and needed new ones but as there crap for drag, wont get any track use and only good for 150mph and would cost £240 for 2
     I opted for these
     
     
     
     
     W rated bridgstones so good for 170mph and all 4 cost £200
     
     My plan was to change the block over winter but noone can get me rings for my wossners so 2014 ill be running the engine as it is but with a 5 speed box and the nos
     
     I do have a new jp4 block but the plan is during 2014 ill build the new engine to use in 2015 and aim to get the car in to the FWD series at santa pod

     Not had much progress on her lately, i should be at the pod for the fast show so this week changed the plugs and oil
     Also the powder coating form next door to my garage have just bought a hydro dipping kit and to practice on and use as a demo matt agreed to do a few bits of the ax

     Not done much with he car,im taking it ti the ring in aug with saxp so havent been driving it incase i break it lol
     
     I have fixed the shaft and been out a few times, cooked the brakes against a 911 so bought these
     
     
     300mm floating discs, alloy bells and braided lines
     
     
     Also bought another toy, 167mph and 10.8 1/4 mile straight out the box :twisted:

     saw this come past us early on Thursday the 14th as we were trundling down the motorway towards the channel tunnel in the Frontera towing a Red saxo kitcar.

     This one
     
     
     
     I was on my way to ashford for the saxp ring trip
     
     
     Was an awesome trip
     
     
     
     
     
     
     I stupidly over over adjusted the clutch ans as i didnt get my new rad back from pro alloy untill just before we left it ment i didnt get time to test the car
     This ment the clutch was making a noise by the time i got to ashford
     My sensible head said go home
     So i continued on with the trip and made it to the ring, did 3 laps and on the final corner of lap 3 the clutch let go loosing all drive
     The marshals allowed us to push the car off track as we rolled under the gantry lol
     So the car spent the day in the car park
     
     
     
     My mood on the day was lifted by an 8:30 lap in josh's mental mango
     
     My car was left at the hotel for the week while i got a lift home with ross in the rs4
     Then went back the follwing week with a trailer to bring her home

     Just read this from start to finish. And erm.... Wow. I applaud the work you've done on this. Nothing is done half heartedly at all. I remember the feature in this in Pfc and it's always been a favourite out of all the feature cars. Just amazing. Well done sir.

     Cheers duffy
     
     Ive kind of fallen out of love with the car since getting by bike but even though it broke the trip has made me love it again, it handled beter than i thought it would at the ring but did show up how laggy it is
     Never been that bothered as its a drag car but over winter it will get a new turbo and exhaust to make it more responsive, then back to germany next year

     Yeah I fell out of low with my pug but I'm gettin the low for it again now. Just need to get my turbo. Just running it on decomp plate and a cast mani. No figure chasing but something that'll give the local honda lads down at our local drag place a shock.

     tweeqd, was the bike brake lever conversion for the lift up reverse sucessful?
     
     me and a mate were discussing the 6 speed conversion last night and as i have a satch shift it seems i'd have to do the same as you.
     
     cheers

     yes and yes, the bike lever works a treat and cost about £7 from eBay
     
     well got her apart to properly asses the damage from the ring
     
     
     
     stripped all the splines clean out of both friction plates, so clutch has gone back to AP for repair
     
     also decided to play with the engine a little while the box was out, this has got a little out of hand lol
     a customer was selling his 0 miles engine cheap so i naturally had that off him
     
     brand new woosner pistons 1mm oversize, j4 block bored to match, brand new forged PEC rods
     
     it also came with a balanced crank and heavily ported j4 head with 3 angle valves but ill flog these on
     
     
     my crank is balanced to my flywheel so swapped that in to the new block
     
     
     pugsprt sump baffle
     
     
     blasted mounts back on
     
     
     
     
     new ARP head stud conversion to stop the head lifting with boost and NOS
     
     
     
     brand new ACL race spec main and big end bearings
     
     
     also the powder coating company next to me has just bought an aqua blaster so i got a bit carried away with that lol
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     while I'm upgrading i thought it would be rude not to look at the turbo, again got carried away so bought this
     an Owen developments GT2865HTA billet wheeled turbo
     
     
     good for 430bhp and will spool 1k rpm earlier than the T34, with the getting carried away I thought if I've gone this far might swell carry on so I've ordered some mechanical spec turbo cat cams, spring, caps, shims and solid lifters.
     this will allow me to rev to 8.5-9k RPM :mrgreen:
     
     im also swapping to a 3'' exhaust but there is no room under the car so it will be a single box system exiting out the front where the screamer pipe is, allowing me to run a completely flat floor and rear diffuser
     
     all in all it should see an easy 400bhp (will be pegged at that to try and keep it reliable), the much bigger power band means i can spread the torque so it should be less harsh on the drivetrain, i still the now to put in on top which ill use for the strip but all the other mods should make it a much better road/track car

     Always thought this would be a laggy beast with that turbo.
     Very good choice with the new turbo. I had a 2868HTA with TiAL .60 housing, was an extremely responsive turbo with the hydraulic Cat Cams I had. Would've easily made 400bhp. My next step is Solid lifters and more revs after a gear kit.

     #678 8th January 2015, 19:24

     yes hoping the 2865hta will be responsive, what rpm did your turbo come in?
     I've got my solid lifters and cams on the way so will see what the turbo does at 8.5k lol

     There was a graph on here somewhere, it spooled earlier than a GT2860RS and the response of the turbo was pretty much instant. I have Cat Cams Turbo cams (not 735's) and standard size valves with Terry Dolphin headwork. So the head set up was geared for maximum response.
     Don't know how big wild cams will effect it though, but Solid lifters and big revs is something I will be interested in.

     #680 9th January 2015, 22:56

     I've gone for sinus valves and the gold spec springs with the mech lifter spec turbo cams so will see how it responds above 9k
     I've got a feeling past 8 won't make a diff but as it will safely go past 9 ill give it a go
     9k should also make the top speed quite interesting on the 6 speed

     I want the solid lifters for bigger power band, not so violent torque delivery and for a higher top speed. Mine does 161 and hits it like a brick wall! Will be annoying when chasing bikes and big stuff!

     #682 10th January 2015, 23:08

     That's what I'm hoping for, spread the torque and save the box/shafts
     
     And for top speed, I've had 169 and bottled it chasing a 911 turbo

     I'd like to be able to have genuine 170-175 capability. Another 1000rpm should do it.

     tweeqd, you might be the man to answer this, when going BE on a TU can we use the Tu clutch and a BE release bearing or do i need a BE spec clutch?
     
     i'm currently on a 180mm s1 rallye clutch and fly ya see.
     
     cheers

     keep the clutch you have
     you can use the TU clutch and just use a standard BE bearing

     slow progress on the car at the mo, dead busy at work so ax takes a back seat
     
     cat cams have sent me 27mm exhaust valves and not the standard size 26mm so th head has gone off to have the seats machined to take the bigger valves.
     another delay in the engine build #-o
     
     i have now sorted the exhaust issue, a 3'' system won't fit past a MK1 ARB and sachshift so my system no longer goes under the car, I've had a custom box made by EDWARDS MOTORSPORT
     
     
     
     I've made a 3'' stainless downpipe that this fits on to and sticks out the front bumper, not heard it yet but I've got a feeling it will be loud
     
     
     
     screamer pipe will be moved up so will exit just above this, the box downpipes and manifold are all going off for ceramic coating
     
     
     some parts of the new fuel system arrived today
     OBP swirl pot
     Bosch 044 pump
     sytec billet pump clamp
     Torques filter and various AN fittings
     
     
     
     
     
     also thought the header tank looked out of place bing polished alloy so its been white carbon dipped
