Jesus, once that thing spools up you better have a parachute to slow you down matey
Thats if it ever does spool
, still shocked at the size of it, i'm probably gonna steal Dan's idea and go for the k-sports.
Ahh that's what it is. Does it have masking lines?
I think turbo should be mounted no more than 20% to the axle (don't quote me though).
No masking marks mate, and your right just read through the EFR pdf and it says max 20% tilting.
Focus WRC's run the turbo's in that location - mostly because of the proximity of the engine to the bulkhead
It also helps that the exhaust ports are on the front of the engine too
However, I'd be very careful over the long primaries, and the potential 'flex' that the turbo would have so far from it's mount. You'll need to be mindful to brace it correctly, but also be vigilant for the heat over the gear linkages, and wiring that is all over that area.
Will it just not fit behind the engine? Even if it meant some adjusting (with a hammer) of the firewall I would think that would be a far more reliable option
Won't fit behind the engine, i think it would take a lot more work to get in, plus there is the stamped in chassis number on a plate - it would have to come off and that could get me in bother with the bacon.
I've had another look at it and i think i will make a mount to bolt to the gearbox engine mount, then it will move with the engine and take all the weight off the manifold, i will have to reroute all the wiring loom etc and protect everything else from heat.
I've got the loom half out the moment as its cracked and damaged, i've also been talking to Bill about a DTA standalone ecu.
Erm sorry did I read you still have you air con wtf get that **** removed you need an aux belt from a non turbo 1.8 golf
Dammit you don't miss much mate
, don't think the aircon pump will slow me down too much
i'm not too sure if i'll keep it really, i just didn't want to go pulling the pipes out then regret it later.
looks the nuts. Definatley gotta go above the g/b. Thought you might allready be on the case for a replacement cover.
The build gets even better youre doing the mani youreself. Hats off to ya! Ull probally have it made up and all bolted up by sunday lol. That bit of kit must have given ya load more encouragment to crack on!
Cheers mate, but there's no chance of being finished this weekend, i need to order somemore schedule 10 pipe for the manifold, and some bigger pipe for where the pair of headers join together.
Thats one MASSIVE turbo
Jaw drooping
I'm rather shocked, really need to see it to appreciate how stupidly big it is
and price wise your looking at $2200 plus shipping and then taxes & customs ![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
