vento derv: aim slammed and 250bhp
« 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





Then got a set of 288mm





The did the boot lifter mod


Then stripped a set of injectors to fit bigger nozzles




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



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




Test fitted new seats but the drivers is sat too high so will have to remove the height adjuster frame


New steering wheel versus old one fitted the lupo gti


Front mount intercooler fitting


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

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!

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
