Mr G, that FD you want comes from the DRW code of 02M, asuming it is 02M you're using after all ?

Says the man who stuck a VAG turbo lump into a 5
TDi could work - Depends upon application...
Mart did always think it would be a good conversion and could track all day on atank of dervbut weigh more than the petrol version and most of the tdi's power is low down as you would expect - the new ones rev well for a diesel but tbh it is jjust not going to work well fwd imo
20vt was only 270 ft/lb torque and most of the diesels come with that before touching the ecu
Scoff thanks for the heads up on the fd, saves me looking around again to confirm, yep looks like the box I am going to use - compared to the 02J yesterday and see what you mean
So as J states before things get to carried away someone give me a shellgot Mike on backup but with current weather not going to happen collecting that far atm
DG
That extra weight would be over the front wheels, plus the oem ecu has T/C as standard anyway
Just personally think it would make an awesome all-round car. Maybe one day...
VAG derv drag car FTW- black rod tuning
Good for traction but effects the corners a bitremember I have to get past your barge on track still
Tell you what someone give me 2 shells and will do an Fsi conversion and derv conversion for that 100mpg - prob same mounting points and running lower egt's will make cooling eaiser
Going to look at teh tc option just for fun mart hence the williams bits with pickups but think it needs to run the abs also as they are tied in
Something to look at further down the line as the plan was raw basic not high end lux with stability control, cruise, abs, launch control, flappy gay box, leather - but I am getting older lol
EOS lump getting checked over today, has a dsg box attached so need to confirm 2nd hand box for it also
DG
shouldnt this be in the projects section....old goat.., ditch the whols idea and finally come to the dark side of the c1j...you know it makes sense rodders..
Dunc,
Why do this in a 5? Clios are plentyfull, more space and would probably have less rot and panel availability / longevity when it gets stuffed into a tyre wall!
or a VW for better longevity and parts compatibility?Dunc,

5's are cool - clio's are notDunc,

Clio would be easier and probably a better base but there is no real challenge there or as many custom bits to play with
And yet to stack it yet - few offs and spins but thanks for the heads up
Jesus even you cant make a c1j reliable and 300bhp
But in all honestly not even thought about doing a clio, they are more chav than the 5 now lol
And that
mk1 clio is not that diff to a 5. i think you should build it into a campus shell and keep it looking like a campus
...and here was I thinking you'd seen the light at the rear of the tunnel DG
don't worry, he plans to drive it backwards most of the time...and here was I thinking you'd seen the light at the rear of the tunnel DG
Lol thanks guys! If only turbo 2's were not so expensive.
Bit torn at the moment with options but do have a REAL soft spot for the 5 even though there are easier base cars
DG
is that an aero thing?don't worry, he plans to drive it backwards most of the time
Interesting read.
PM Big Supes https://www.rtoc.org/boards/member.php?u=1486 as he is giving away a free shell that be of use.
that'll be the one that was 'so rusty' he scrapped the car
Well just as I have started to seriously think about using the 172 as a base car for the project I have been offered a free 5
May just work out after all, must not stack it
DG
so then DG whats the score with the cooling on this project....custom chargecooler with 2 pre-rads again or are you going to sort out a custom fmic of some kind......very tight?..
J depends on a few things and not thought about it yet tbh :-)
err maybe hes too busy with....say...a son...
Pah ! they're easy to deal with at that age ,wait till you've got three running round the garage ' helping 'Just wrap up warm and plonk him in a car seat
Alas the 5 / VAG project never fully started and has be bined although was getting some speed behind it
I have now purchased another vx220 turbo which I have some small repaires to bring it back to a VERY nice oe example (only done 7k) I will prob sell this as it is too nice to build as a track beast with the vag tsi turbo lump.
But also have a track car to build, locost (7 style replica) race car which has a bit of a special chassis which is getting the vag treatment and gearbox tbc but 2wd cossie T5 looking like it may be used as the type 9 on the car costs silly money to beef up and still on the limit.
So will have a pure track car with at least 500bhp per ton to start with to give me my track thrills and see how the vx220 goes with a view for something a bit fruity after
Would have loved to do another 5 and few special extras but do have someone getting me to put the vag in clio 172 so still kind of doing one, just not for me
Will share the track beast build when I free up a weekend to start
Plan to have the track beast for it's shake down at Mallory in June
DG
Mark that power graph is a bit spiky ;-)
