Awsone stuff as usual, Rob

A work of art Rob. I am sure the car will be hitting the numbers you are after. Any ideas when you will be testing the car on the rollers?

That air filter looks class, mind if I ask which one it is?

294 - sounds great, I'm hoping to be over the 300 with the WMI and 4.5 degrees of timing added.

yup...He's just bought a WMI Kit too...He's gotta go back when he get a uprated fuel pump as the OEM 3bar one is running dry at 5.6kprm+ so its running lean...

The mapper said he could Reach the 300bhp with abit more tweaking...

Hopefully quite soon, either at Dastek or Wallace.

Air filter is a Quikshift type D - sounds awesome, DV dump sound and turbo spool are loud!

 

[Damoegan]

What size is your filter, Rob? 140x148mm - 160x175mm - 195x175mm?

Rob, where did you buy your battery relocator from?

looked at the ones on ebay, but they look different to yours

 

[RobDon]

It was the 175 x 195mm cone, this one:

Relocator - not sure what you mean? The battery tray? I got my battery tray here:

I bought all the electrical stuff - the cable, connectors, etc. from these two places:

Rob, did you try to fit the OEM battery tray into the spare wheel well?

 

[Skorchio]

I did Willie, Worked fine. Got pics somewhere.

Hi Rob, not sure if you still have the three gauges in the center vents but wanted to ask when you fitted those did you block the vents in any way so that air is not pushed through to it?

Cheers

Im pretty sure rob doesnt have a k04... I thought he had a gt2x

 

[Tazzcole]

Liked the pics of the car, but the ones of the engine would not open.

 

[RobDon]

They work fine for me, perhaps Photobucket was down for a bit?

I have a hybrid GT2X yes.

 

[Tazzcole]

Did you have the turbo modified?

 

[RobDon]

Yes, the turbo blew so I had it rebuilt by CR Turbos who also made alot of improvements to it internally, such as machining it out and fitting a larger compressor wheel plus other stuff.

 

[Tazzcole]

How much more boost did this gain you?

 

[RobDon]

It's not about how much boost is gained, it's about the internals flowing more air to make more power at the same boost level.

I picked up a set of teardrop mirrors off an '04 Leon recently, along with a mint set of gloss black covers, so I fitted them this morning:

They seem way better made than the old mirrors, chunky and robust, my old squarer-shaped ones feel quite flimsy by comparison. The new ones are a much nicer shape, more modern looking.
