Title: vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
Post by: davies1644 on 11 January 2011, 13:51: Right well bought this car about 6 weeks ago now and have decided that i want to throw some money at it, so decided to do my uni project on it as i am studying motorsport engineering in my last year. I am seeing how much power can be extracted from a tdi engine so here goes

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/vento1.jpg)

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/vento3.jpg)

Then got a set of 288mm

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0059.jpg)

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0060.jpg)

The did the boot lifter mod
(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0090.jpg)

Then stripped a set of injectors to fit bigger nozzles
(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0104.jpg)

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0107.jpg)

Which have then turned out to be too small for the power i am aiming for so am going to have to do it again

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0081.jpg)
Fitted a set of xenon rear lights

The fitted a vr6 clutch which yet again isnt gonna be good enough so thatll be another fun time lol
(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0127.jpg)

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0128.jpg)

Test fitted new seats but the drivers is sat too high so will have to remove the height adjuster frame
(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0134.jpg)

New steering wheel versus old one fitted the lupo gti
(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0148.jpg)

Front mount intercooler fitting
(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc41/davies1644/IMG_0124.jpg)

And then big mouthed the front bumper as well just for the hell of it really

Post by: Dmonday on 11 January 2011, 14:06: Looks like a nice car, good work! I thought VR clutches were good for 250bhp :huh: keep it up dude.

Title: Re: vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
Post by: Wayne on 11 January 2011, 14:10: Excellent progress so far, looking forward to the updates.
Title: Re: vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
Post by: Sam on 11 January 2011, 14:16: I think it will be more the torque from the diesel than the power its putting out that will make a vr possibly slip. Good work anyway lad!
Title: Re: vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
Post by: davies1644 on 11 January 2011, 14:30: Caistor deserves a gold star lol torque kills the vr clutch and whatdo you want to see on the fuel system? Going to pick up the new turbo and side mount manifold inlet and other bits next week
Title: Re: vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
Post by: Agreeable Slick on 11 January 2011, 14:33: Just interested to see what pump type it's running.

Post by: shepgti on 11 January 2011, 16:06: nice proper project! :cool: that fmic looks looooow though! :shocked:
Title: Re: vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
Post by: davies1644 on 11 January 2011, 16:10: Yeah it is well it's the standard tdi pump which has been made into a hybrid by diesel bob still waiting for it to come back but it has a 12mm head in the pump and turns the car to mechanical as it's easier to tune up

Yeah thought they were, really like them and they are a nice when sat in them, hold you in nicely. They are rare however i do have a friend who is selling a rover 620ti with the same interior and is now thinking of breaking it as didnt get the price he wanted on ebay. So if anyone likes the seats for their car then pm me. :smiley:

Post by: Sam on 12 January 2011, 18:42: In febs golf plus there is a small talk about the 1.9 PD TDI lump saying that with Nitro, uprated turbo, intercooler and injection system and they have hit 250bhp on the dot. Not sure how this relates to your lump though?

Title: Re: vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
Post by: tsr_adi on 16 January 2011, 09:05: I can't believe the demand for vento's recently. I sold mine a few years ago, 2.0 GL decked on coilies, white estorils, full exhaust, storm grey with TnT, 130k odd for £800! Now I could get nearly double that!
Title: Re: vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
