It's running ;D ;D, took it out for a spin today :o. Lots of torque and revs like a demon ;D.
Specs are a 9A (2000cc 16v) engine, lowered compression with the CIS motronic fuel injection fitted (fair rewire job) a garrett T3 turbo, custom exhaust manifold and system by me ;).
Front mounted intercooler (wont say what car it's from, but had a slight smell of garlic about it ;)).
Mods to the fuel injection for on boost enrichment and a heap of other stuff that I cant remember at the mo.
A couple of engine shots. http://uk.geocities.com/stevewaghorn/16v-turbo.html
Have cleaned the engine bay up since ::), Steve.

For someone who doesnt like golfs, hes spent a bit of cash on that ???
-
8pots never said he doesn't like golfs,he actually said, he likes Golfs, Pugs, and any other great cars,but Golfs are his first love.
Cheers Martin
-
Yes, as you can tell, I do quite like golfs particularly mark ones.
-
Engine looks beautiful mate.... Very impressive, I'm very jelous... :(
-
It does look good doesn't it..........ideas, ideas, ideas.... ;D

8pot, your car must have cost a few bob, speck sounds good :o, well done. Mine is going on the dyno next month when the engine has a few more miles on it. My "project" prob cost less than 1K, including the engine rebuild and the turbo, wife would'nt let me spend "8pot" type of cash >:(
8pot, any chance of a engine shot, like to see how you have fitted the inter cooler, are the knock sensors used, did you use the 16v dist with the cossie ecu, or are you on individual coils, where did you mount the crank sensor and what btm pulley are you using?. (for future reference as the fuel system I am using is only temp.)
Thanks for the input guys :), Steve.

Looks dead right,using proper bends always makes a turbo conversion look factory :).
Cheers martin
-
I'm fitting the rad and intercooler next weekend for him,
he's bought some bends from the States which look a lot like yours, so we should be able to make a neat job.
When I get the car to my place next week I'll post some pics,
Cheers Martin

The intercooler "plumbing", turbo and throttle body was a real pita to do >:(. Let us know how you get on ;).
Steve.
-
The car sits now with the engine in, with plenum and turbo fitted.and it just looks lost in the engine bay.
When you loose the origonal inlet assembly you gain so much space.
The Skyline intercooler also fits better in the front of the Mk1 than it did in the car Skyline we took it from.
cheers martin

The distributer is the original vw one but with cossie internals, it uses a standard coil. Th trigger disc is custom made and simply sits on the end of the crack. The radiator is a custom made one and sits to the side(near side) and behind the intercoole. The battery is going to be relocated to the boot as the intercooler plumbing will take up the space of the battery. New engine loom made and then linked into the cars wiring. Plenum chamber has also been modified so the injectors squirt straight down the port.It previously blew through throttle bodies with dta management but this set up was not so well suited to forced induction.
-
Exelent info :), did you consider stand alone like SDS or similar, as you could write the fuel and ign maps yourself. Knowing how well my car goes, you will need a pilots licence for yours !!!!!! ;D.
Steve.
-
I dont actually know what sds is but the chap that built my engine has all the software to map the cosworth ecu. We will do most of it on the road and then hopefully hire a rolling road to finish it off. I was trying to get the escort cossie ecu because that has launch control full trottle gear change abd lots of other stuff. Also bear in mind that second hand cossie ecus are quite cheap. What power are you hoping to make and what boost are you running. Also, what manifold are you using?
-
At only 5psi at the moment till the engine has a few more miles on it. The inlet manifold is standard and the exhaust manifold I made out of stainless steel tube. Hoping for about 200 whp, and still have a useable car.
SDS is a mappable fuel injection and ign system.

Do you remember Mark Elliots turbo mk 1 from a few years ago...also mars red? He ran lotus carbs and that made 250bhp. I also remember it running a 13.4 sec quarter-thats quicker than the new m3csl!!!
