    Re: 5-225 Progress Pics

    Excellent stuff! I remember Scoff sending me a clip of the VAG 5 the 1st time it started - big turning point!

    1st time I drove it felt very special and worth all the research and effort.

    Look forward to seeing the beast in the flesh

    Re: 5-225 Progress Pics

    A couple of final piccies for you all. Done about 300 miles in her with nothing really going wrong (WOOD TOUCHED) I still have some wiring to do, gauges etc. Runs a little lean so need to increase the fuel map a little, but all in all seems spot on. Will do more ,a few more miles before a good mapping session. See what boost i can run and then hopefully a rolling road session for a rough power output/idea.

    Thanks chaps, looking forward to an outing soon. Bean, not yet, its not too bad. I will sort it once i have decided on a better clutch etc. As you can imagine it would be a nightmare to take it all back out!

    many thanks for the pictures Matt

    the front ones will be easy for me as there's more room in the 11 bay, but the rear one will be a nightmare by the looks of it.

    I can't use the original mount point as the 225 box sits much further to the right when looking from the front of the car

    Its a vibratechnics mount from a valkswagon i think. You could use that cossie mount as it does look similar.

    Ilker, have a look on the other thread Gaz'z megane with 225 lump. he will be using a similar rear mount setup that you may need.

    Re: 5-225 Progress Pics

    Well, me and the Mr ashy went for a bit of mapping today. Running just under 10 psi(previously 5psi). Got the fueling a little safer for the debbuging period untill the expert does his stuff. Its very lively, throws you back in the seat in 5th gear at 80 mph!!! lol, Its a funny drive, isn't as agressive as a gt on full boost, just very smooth with bags of torque all the way through the gears. Hits high speeds very quickly. Ignition map is very vague at the moment so definately improvements to be made there. Loving it more everytime i go out in it!

    Bit of an update.

    Crank seal was leaking which has now sealed up ok. I was concerned about how deep the scoring was on the crank seal face:

    I've also fitted a paddle plate and some decent brakes!!

    Well, about time for an update! Engine has been in for a few years, makes decent power, and has been a hoot. Unfortunately, the body work has started to deteriorate, so need to get cracking with the welder

    Few more pics. Im also planning on pulling the engine out, modify the bay and try and squeeze the 225 gearbox in. The idea being plenty more power which the j series i'm sure would spit its gearset out all over the road.

    Here's hoping it will fit!

    Few more pics of the box and the ridiculously heavy dual mass flywheel. I'm not sure what to do with the flywheel as the solid steel versions available are a fortune. I'll look at modifying it somehow to reduce its weight and maybe make it one piece.

    Engine as it stands now.

    A Clio flywheel will fit the crank, however the overall diameter is smaller and the bell housing on the box is larger. So the starter motor would be unable to engage

    Nice to see you making some good progress Matt if you need a hand give me a shout and I'll have a ride down, my rates are still the same, cups of tea and biscuits

    good luck fitting that box in there

    even if you manage to get the box in with lots of cutting, you'll have all sorts of trouble with the space for a steering rack

    it would be worth to try and find out where ktec supply their solid flywheels from, as we all know what their profit margins are like

    good luck with it mate
