DaNnY_LaD's IHI'd Cupra ( End Of a Eara 08/11/2009)

Q!

I Need Some Advice guys...

What experiance has anyone had with the IHI underslung manifold for room?

As my Best friend tottally smashed his p1 Subura up and hes now selling the parts it has a Zilla 20G on it at the moment would this fit or its it gonna be tight or even a Top mount jobbie?

I wasn't planning on spending any more money but its up for mates rates prices..

if that turbo uses a 60mm outlet on the comp side don't get it as it will surge like mad on yours.i had a similar blouch one that surged! changed to a 76mm outlet and it went straight away.

Thanks lads im gonna strip it off and have a good measure up but i know its gonna be tight lool

Its Seems that way rob if i can keep the costs down il be laughing as i have been abit mad over the last few months spending wise..

Also which is the biggest vf for power? As ive just thread the water coolant banjo bolt in the turbo...can it be re-threaded or is it ****ed?

Also i have a vf23 at the moment with p20 housing could i get a vf34 and swap the housing over as im looking for more power while its in bits...

Right im nearly there with it now thank god..

So tonight while i have a spare hour i started to take the Exhaust valves out which to my shire suprise it was really clean in there....Plus my Exhaust guides a uber tight and Don't look worn or scracthed? Odd indeed..

Out of the 8 exhaust valves only 2 were easy enought to just simpley pull out...

Anyway will be having a bash at the inlets 2morro and i can get it decoked and skimmed...I really woundnt mind smoothing the Ports out a tad and maybe port the inlet manifold....Is it worth it? i do have a dremel ect...

Anyway Nuff talk pics:

P.s I also trail fitted my bonnet bra tonight but il be startin & freshening up outside next month lol

It worked awesome on the inlets...If id had to do it again id get a Telescopic Pen magnet to fish the collets out but the long nose plier worked line...

I was looking at a kit on ebay rob to do the head...Would this be ok?

I wasn't gonna Bother with Polishing the ports but tonight i was bored so desided to give it a bash..

well after 2hrs of Smoothing it then polishing it ive got it sooo smooth im well chuffed with it...I only went as deep and the exhaust guides/seats as i didnt want to disturb it...

I couldnt belive how Rough the casting is inside when i started but im just waiting on my polish abrasive wheels to arrive then its done..
Weither it will do anything im not sure but its been done

Excuse the pics as my camera is shite...:

Nice one Danny - glad my bra was a nice fit, it suits you

 

[Damoegan]

HAhahah you ******* lol...

Tbh my Spending was getting way out of hand...Spending all my cash on the car so ive desided to stop it and just enjoy it...

I bet uve got fed up sometimes with your build rob as its so bloody expensive..

o and the bra does fit snug and keeps the front end from sagging

 

[beeza_warrior]

no-one likes a saggy front end

Yeah I'm pretty depressed when I add up all my receipts and find it tops 12k and still going but meh, it's a hobby. Hang in there bud

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Right Nothing much happening tbh as im just waiting on royal mail to pull there finger out and delivery all my parts...

So i made a start on the Enlarging of the mounth on the Head to match the gasket...

I haven't fully finished the first one as it was to late to carry on///

[DaNnY_LaD]

Thanks John Should be better...

Done abit more tonight and ive completly finished my Exhaust ports which im really pleased with as it took alot of time todo...

Anyway Ive nearly Finished the inlet ports now Just gotta finish Shapeing the Mouths then i can smooth it all in nicely...Excuse the pictures as there off mine phone:

Also this friday its getting Skimmed & Pressure Test for a Huge Sum of £0 lol ...All i need now is my timing Belt kit which i need to ring Alex about then its all system go ...Im aiming to have the head Built up this weekend...

But While this is doing i can then get my banjo Holes helicoiled And get the turbo On and refitted...O i also forget Im going to stick the Airfilter down in the wing to allow as much Straigthen air flow as possible to improve my G/S as im currently running the MAF on the filter which isnt good...

 

[Robbie C]

Looking good mate. Just be careful about running a filter in the wing - not just for standing water but also with all the crap it gets covered in down there. Not good for a filter IMO

Someone posted a pic in the MK3 forum a while ago of a filter they'd stuck in the wing and it was covered in crap
