I've had a Quaife diff for about 5 years ............ so NO!

 

[RobDon]

Couple of new tanks going on the car soon, replacing the single Saikou Mitchi oil catch tank (which has the block and valve covers Tee'd together into one inlet, for a dual tank setup so the block and head have their own tanks for maximum filtration and breathing.

Also fitting this new compact coolant header tank, complete with Stant 18-22psi racing cap. More pics once they're installed.

Hi Rob, What catch tank make are you using to replace the Saikou Mitchi oil catch tank?

I need to get hold of a good catch tank as im using a generic one at the moment.

 

[RobDon]

Dual Saikou Mitchi tanks .

 

[Indy]

Yes I am interested I will drop you a PM shortly.

By the way thought I'd let you know the 80mm TB is working fine on my motor and I have rolling road session organised for tomorrow with surrey rolling roads.

 

[RobDon]

Ok cool, my new oil hoses have just arrived so I'll get the new dual tanks fitted very soon.

 

[RobDon]

Ok, sump and oil cooler kit have both been sold, so next week it's time to order the water/methanol injection kit and make some more power!

Nice one Rob, I'll be watching with interest. Possibly my next mod if you give it the thumbs up.

Il Be watching this space very closly.....

WAnna see how you get on..

Rob did you see that Bill has a new WMI kit on the go. I know you two don't see eye to eye but 'might' be a thought

 

[RobDon]

I got the dual tank setup from Saikou Mitchi installed today, along with a carbon plate under them:

Now the head and block breath through separate tanks, the outlets are Tee'd together and go back to the intake.

After re-working the steel box section bar I had on before (bigger M10 bolts into the chassis rails now), it's much stronger, so with a larger intercooler than before I have replaced the Pro Alloy IC and now looks like this:

I saw that yes, and no I won't be buying it. Getting awesome advice and service from Scott at USRT and also from Jabba Sport.

Have you got vag-com rob..

once the WMI is fitted be interesting to see some Logs...and advanced timing...

 

[EL]

Fantastic car mate. Especially loving the carbon airbox. What made you decide to make you create it?

 

[RobDon]

Just wanted to see if shielding the cone made any difference.

Ok for some reason I have a fault code coming up for the N75 - 'short to ground'. Does this mean the N75 is knackered, even though I don't use it but is still plugged in?

Anyone got a spare N75 lying around I could have/buy?

Remove and resistor?

 

[RobDon]

Will that work ok, I have resistors I can use?

 

[Cupra Ross]

It might work mate, worth a try before buying a new/used N75 if you're running an MBC. Measure its resistance with a multimeter and connect up some resistors to match the value.

Its possible that it works on variable resistance so might not work but as above, maybe worth a try to save a few pennies for the WMI install.
