mk1 golf caddy/homemade 24v v6 4wd turbo

[powernut]

was looking under the bonett this after and thought i dont like these old plastic things ,, so thought chuff it ill make one lol

quick cut and weld and added a few pipes and a cap

then thought might as well add the washers on a sepete part so they will be hot water on the go

just have to make a quick bracket and another to top the washer bottle up /pipes poped on job done

 

[powernut]

not mutch just finished the header off ,and added a bit of vw washer cap ,,as im bisy with other stuff

also fitted all the water system pipeing apart fom ive a spare bottom hose heater matrix pipe and unsure were it goes , any ideas guys as ive not spare pipes left , or can it be re routed into the bottom hose?or something

 

[powernut]

hit a few probs with it over heating today/grr, as id piped a few pipes wrong and needed a one way valve adding
few bits of piping /one way valve for auxity pump

then i had a trail rev for 10 mins and it over heated reason was the single fan carnt cope ,(on its own /but seemed ok and test run,) so added 2 buggers, and all is well

caddys coming together at last

god im fed up , this ecu has started playing up yet again , as im runing low inpendance injectors ,the ms unit has a built in curcit to make them run , as im sure its gone faulty due to major over fuel and dosent matter what i try to do ,its missing and smokeing like a deisal , so i may have to bypass this and run high inpendance ,,

then while tuning the spark and fuel maps , the engine started smoking badly , i thought the worst .but found the problem which was the turbo oil feed hole was too big (8mm ) which was bypassing the turbo seals so added this one

and also fitted a 90 elbow too , so thats sorted that problem out , no smoke , lol

then got the laptop back on the go to find , my air tempture not working so went hunting at the local scrap to find one , made a new therd and fitted and works a dam treat too ,,

(all these little things do help trust , just awaiting now to try a new ms part , if i get no luck il thow some high inpedance inejctors in , fingers crossed one or the other sorts the problem ,,

 

[powernut]

right guys that the full homemade therd up to date , (8months its tuck me so far , not too bad timing i reckon ,,

 

[powernut]

cracking project - forgot this one was going

would if i sort the 2 dam gauges its takerning longer to sort then the whole therd lol

not hard more of a fun idea i reckon , interccolers ratted to 450bhp but that can all change with the fueling ,timing,turbo map etc

looks amazing, keep it up!

cheers i keep trying

this is only homemade /cut/chop /modify and weld it togther ,

Mig wire sales must have gone throught the roof with all that home done miggin!!!

oh yes i worked it out used 4 big reals of 0.6mig wire , so a fair amount of welding/modifying/beefing up in surtain places , (still may need a bit more yet too

Looking amazing mate, great job you're doing there.

all takes times , i keep trying for every bit of time i get free ...

bloody hell good work took a while to read through all that.

Top work mate cheers

What turbo are you using?

the turbo is a holset hx40 /t3 flange/3.5 outlet ,size (18 as really i needed a 16 but finding one was a nightmare , so maybe a late spooler , hernce the reason i made a twin scroll manifold , to sharpern up the pulse and spool rate /plus its a t3 turbo not a t4 ,, which helps for tighter gas spool ,i made the engine backfire on 2 clyinders today and it instantly boosted and i thought it was going to blow a hose off , sounded well nice with a arsome turbo whistle,,like i say everything u see and read , is gess work trail and errorr ,,
