ibiza k04...gt28rs soon to be (PICS)

[cupra_matt]

Awesome mate.

I have just noticed i cant see the intercooler brackets, nice one.

No point in driving it in the rain as it wont grip very well. lol

 

[DPJ]

Great news Hooch! Well done.

Lumpy running down to a slight air leak somewhere?

 

[Ninja]

wicked nice one

 

[h17och]

it was more of a misfire rather than an airleak, maybe just a coil gone (revs ok tho!?)

right....hasnt been the greatest of afternoons, there again, not the worst either

fitted passenger side driveshaft and all was good! tryed to put driver side in and it was hitting the oil return line
so i had to remove the DP to gain access to remove the oil line and im getting it modded tomorrow so it should sit alot nicer (wasnt really happy where it was anyway)

in its current state it has the driveshafts in and most things ready
just needs the oil line re-fitting and the DP bolting back on

ive also got the bumper fitting nicely (lil bit of cutting)

so im hoping to have it drivable this week.....one problem tho!!
my seats are sold and are being collected tomorrow nite lol which means once its ready to drive i cant as i wont have any seats

im pretty happy with the progress this weekend and very happy to of heard it running(didnt have an engine in 8days ago)

I've got 4mm between my driveshaft and the oil line. I couldn't see how to alter it unless I got a new bend made up. I'd be really interested to see how you've done it.

 

[h17och]

mine sits tolaly different to yours mate

at the mo its a braided length end to end with a 90degree bend on both ends
im just having it cut down and re-crimped with one end as a stright connector rather than an elbow

see previous pics with engine on bench

if yours is 18mm steel (standard VAG oil pipe) i have the proper pipe bender for it!

my k04 used to sit really close

HoocH

 

[DPJ]

No, my standard Vag one is a 90 degree stainless steel elbow on the turbo, 90 degee steel elbow on the sump with a fat flexi braided line in between. Nothing to bend

But, hey yes - I see the difference, your turbo sits way higher than mine.

 

[JAY DE]

This tread is making me want to do mine rather than go to Vagtech...

don't know if i could have the patinence for such a job..

lookig forward to seeing many pics of the finished project..

 

[Craig!]

Nice progress, my next mod was going to be adjust the FMIC position but I've got a little more important things to do before worrying about that, like fitting a new engine

Noooooooooo!, whats happened dude. Not the rods or valves i hope.

 

[h17och]

dpj. thats the pipe mate. you can bend it! if you want the bender its always here...another member has it at mo...doing same thing

JD, give it ago mate...one way of learning

last nite was the big nite...i drove it!!!!!

havent gone out properly in it as the exhaust is knocking and there is bits i want to sort out.

craig!...your rite about the clutch and flywheel setup, will take abit of getting use to, very harsh

i will get pics up along with a final write up when i get chance

at the mo im happy ive driven it and that ive finished it before the other gt287r guys as i started before them and would of been gutted if they beat me to it lol

Clap: Well done!

(What sort of bender is it?)

 

[nogutsnoglory]

Glad its up and running buddy! Good on you

 

[h17och]

wot you mean wot sort of bender? an 18mm rothenberger robend bender lol

 

[Craig!]

Wild Willy - Yep, looks like an exhaust valve on cylinder 3 has dropped, yet to inspect just bought a Golf largeport AGU engine which I'll build up with rods, pistons, valves. Will more than likely end up with a large intake manifold and a new turbo too, as the chances are the valve will have proceeded out the engine and straight into the turbo.

Hooch - It's a right bitch isnt it, it does get slightly better and you do get used to it.

 

[h17och]

craig you must be gutted!! not having much luck!

Exhaust has started to leak!!!!! gonna fix it now!

HoocH

 

[PhilW]

What map is it running or what are you goin to run?


I still think that turbo is way to close to the bulk head and is gonna hit under full load.

 

[h17och]

custom code phase 3

dont hit at all phil

 

[Craig!]

You running an oil cooler on it? I've got a mocal sandwich plate, stainless braiding and fixings just deciding on what row oil cooler to go for, was thinking 16 row. Did you keep the OEM water jacked aswell as the sandwich plate??

Also got an Mocal catch tank to rig up to a baffled sump but think I'll worry about getting the fooker running first lol!!

 

[h17och]

not got my cooler yet, gimme time...gime time!!

i may run 2x16row coolers as they will fit nice above the cooler
