Thats looking tasty mate:agree: should be an animal once its finished,! where did you source that big feck off vnt turbo from.?
phil that looks amazing, that is gonna be one powerful muther of the ducker cars... cant wait for it to come back from the body shop :)
wont be long till i match that spec.... get on the rolling road :) woooop
cheers lads its taken a long time and lots of money so far but im loving every minute and every penny lets see if she makes 250 on the rollers
i have a feeling that it could make 250bhp on the rollers at idle hahahaha your being modest phil
well it should make more but my target is 250 on carb before nos
Just cant wait for its first rolling road after its nicley run in. mine should be running by then as well.
Plus the old man is mates with the owner of mini speed or somthing.. we had an invite to use the rolling road... :)

I shall have them by then :)
ok should have the car back now between jan-feb 2010 went down to see it saturday and it looks great will add pics as soon as i get more. Started on part of my carbon dash today really need car here now before i can complete it just some pics
wow that looks great phil. Were are you sourcing your carbon from?
thanks mate i had my interior panels made up by perfomance trim and as i had ordered a few quids worth they done ne a good deal on a metre squared section mate if you need any ask for mike he is really helpful i have the number if you ever need it mate :)
Thanks phil, but won't be needing till next year,looked at their website and their products look realy good, keep up the good work. :agree:
Cheers Mate Will Do
As said yesturday, I doubted the gauges etc at first.. now seeing it comming together it looks really really smart. Individual ideas and seeing it through... amzazing darts mate ;)
Really good to see someone doing some pretty handy bodywork / welding to a 5 rather than just scrapping. Ive seen 5`s scrapped with ALOT less rust than that :agree:
cheers mate alot of people tried to tell me to scrap the car and put a new shell on but i cant see the point in replacing a bad shell with another around the same age and i didnt want to put a campus shell on either i have had this car for years and it will take alot for me to ever get rid of it it was my first car and i feel im married to it now lol
Awesome project and coming along quite nicely :agree:
Once that welding is done, you won't need to touch it again :)
I'm doing mine early next year and plan to do the whole lot, sills & jacking points in particular.
Can't wait to see the finished article :)
cheers mate good luck with yours i had to replace every thing as the whole car was rotten including jacking points and boxing sections mate how far will you need to go with yours
:agree: i think most people would have given this one up as a lost cause. Well done :cool:Quote:

Aiming to have the 2ltr in and running early next year, the bodywork will follow soon after :D
Watching threads like this are really inspirational :agree:

mark if this helps mate you can see in the pic the template i made and you may be able to see roughly how it will go together the 2nd picture is the panel around the steering wheel. I will have more pics of when the cars back and the dash is all in hope this helps mate :scratch:
wow! love the flock!!
looks a bit extra ish, if you've seen the dashs in some of them? looks bloody good tho, flock and carbon are a match made in heaven :agree:
just a few more pics on the progress will try and update some more pics after the weekend new clocks back now and they look sweeeeeeeeeeeeet brand new plastic cover needs to be fitted to clocks aswell
i want those clocks. who, where and how much.
there plasma cut faces mate with red led needle ekit cost £150 and they ned to go to bulgaria mate
phil its sexy...
cheers mate they wanna be for the f***ing cost :scratch:
They sell similar plasma dial kits for the turbocharged Rover 600 too, they are very popular on the MGRover website, and they look the nuts :)
yes mate the company i used pretty much do any car out there they are really helpful and send pics and keep in touch with you while there being made, so that if your not happy with something they will change it, you can even put your own logos or names on them but i thought it would have been a bit ott
**** me phil shes going to look the tits.I cant wate to see it all done
cheers dave its all coming together now i think another month and i should have the car back
I can not wait mate:).Its been a long time since i've seen her :agree:Quote:

Really like this idea Phil, will look the nuts.
Will it be complicated to modify the plastic cover / number plate light section?
cheers mateQuote:
Originally Posted by J8TRO

ok its been a while since i added some more pics so here are a few more cars has now taken a little longer than i thought but will now be back with me on the 4th of june the work is incredible and these pics dont do it any justice managed to get pics before it got flattened and polished so it will be a lot more shiny when i have it the sprayer is amazing and this finish is straight out the gun before prep and polish
you can see in the end 2 pictures where they had just started to flaten the paint i will now add some more i have
and some more
and again more lol
and more
more again almost there
ok these are the last pictures to put on there was 4 things on the car that i was not happy with and thats why its not back till june bloody oven gets to warm and distorted parts of both doors and to plastic arches but should all come back well hope you all enjoy regards phil
Very very nice work. She's going to be awesome phil.

Phil, I can't get over the amount of money you have thrown at the 5, the items you have purchased already, the time you and the body shop have put in to date and the amount of time to still go into rebuilding the 5 and the quality of the work is to date is amazing. This is one project I am very much looking forward to seeing completed. keep up the good work matey and I am more than happy to help you out putting the 5 back together.
Also if you want me to run your engine in I am more than happy to:D:laugh::burnrubber:

Then once it's running it still needs the carb setup and the VNT will need setting up to how you want it to run etc... Oh and more money to throw at it LOLQuote:

Just spent the last hour reading through this and looking at all the pictures,
What a project ! and the attention to detail is amazing.
Interested to see how the new airbox comes out now.
Phil, as always the pictures just don't do the car justice looks so much better in the flesh. Top darts finishing the airbox off aswell.:cooter:

cheers phil :)

a couple more
cheers phil
:ashamed:Just had an accident in my pants seeing those pics.
Phil, top work matey that chargecooler pipe run looks a right pain in the arse to sort out, am likeing the way you are sticking it in the bulkhead to give it some protection from the engine bay heat.

3 re fit driveshafts after a damaged gaiter
4 make my own carpet from the front footwell to the back of the boot hoping to do it in one length :scratch:
5 fit my new carbon dash
6 make some brackets to hold the solonoids to work the pop open doors on a remote fob
7 fit front carbon door cards
8 connect hand brake back up
9 fit and connect up gear stick and linkage
if i can get all this done this week i think i will be very close to having the car running really aiming to get it done for the next surrey meet
what handles have you gone with for the carbon cards, i was on ebay trying to find something a little more bling or classy that the normal renault clio or gtt ones turned on the side.. looks like i'll end up there tho as most others look sh1t..

I was at a similar point a few weeks ago, i found myself almost searching for things to do as if i didnt want to go drive it lol.
2 years of not having it got to me i think. Its as much about working on it as it is owning/driving it. You gotta bite the bullet though and get it on the road, trust me it'll be worth it, nothing better than getting to a meet with it too.
cheers jimmy it has taken a long stressfull time but i am almost there now its just remembering where everything goes :wasntme::wasntme:Quote:

a friend of mine has told me if i go to there factory with a pocket full of cash they will do me a really good deal so when i have more money i will make a trip up there :eek:
yeah there good blokes there...only2 mins from where i live:)
some more good progress made tonight on my 5 with fault finding
found the cause to the engine not cranking over on the key which was a dodgey connection in the white electrical block behind the passenger headlight engine now cranks perfect which is all now lubed up with oil
next problem was no spark turned out to be the king lead not on properly lol :rob:
now have a good strong spark
gear linkage now connected with short shift kit in place struggled getting 5th gear but was getting all other gears extended the linkage rod and bingo all 5 gears
hand brake finally connected up and feels good have set it on about 5 notches on ratchet
only job i couldnt finish tonight was a problem with the fuel pump it seems my brand new uprated fuel pump is a dud one :scratch: but i still have a fault with not getting a live feed down to the pump ran a quick test and i have a live feed to the fuel pump relay so i will now need to test a bit further tomorrow night
will up date more pictures when some nicer jobs are done :agree:

Might be worth when you get your new pump just to test it before you put it on and then when installed bridge the fuel pump relay from red to white for constant live feed just to make sure you can hear the pump fire up only do this for a few secs you really don't want to run a dry pump.

indeed mate a real bad design :mad:Quote:

5 fit and connect up my new part of the dash (longest job)
6 fit front window rubbers
7 fit front screen
8 fill up with petrol and run in
9 get exhaust made
10 tax and mot
11 back to body shop for a couple of days couple of bits im not happy with
12 finally get the car out to as many MEETS this year as poss :)
Looking good matey, only a couple of hours max left for you to do on the final jobs speak with Mike ref getting the window motor, also worth greasing up the regulator aswell, you just need to book the specialists for the windscreen and the exhaust now and then set the car up so she runs properly and then MOT time:agree: and then get the fueling setup.
window motor now sorted courtesy of mr dave reed :agree: if i can afford it i will have the screen and exhaust fitted when i get paid this month but the screen will be last of all as its easier to finish all the dash off with no screen fittedQuote:

I like the towing eye idea. Can you twist it off untill you (never, hopefully) need it?

it will be more than strong enough to pull up on a trailer or a flat bed with a winch but i will never try and tow off it :wasntme: as idont want the front end to look like the front of a boat :)
Got the Campus rubbers and windows in ok I see.

A fun evening last night sitting in my conservatory soldering up the new carbon panel for the dash i have made, was quite tricky and very involved but i have done it in a way so only 1 live and 1 earth feeds all switches and buttons. Green cables and blue cables feed the components being used. next job on thursday is to try and get it all linked up and working in the dash

Well today felt a very emotional day but also a brilliant day as today for me was d day and I finally heard my car run for the first time since 2006 wooooooo hoooooo a small fueling problem to sort on the adjustable regulator as the engine was basically seizing up with the amount of fuel going in and I believe the fpr has been set from factory massively high as the pressure gauge was reading more than 9 psi on initial start and just flooding the engine to a stand still but hopefully now I'm well on cause to have the car finished by the end of this month :):):):)
Will update more pics next week when the seats are in and interior completely finshed
well its been a while since i updated this thread but all is going well now with my car and i am so close now to having it finished and fit for the road
this is what i have left before its ready
adjust fpr as its over fuelling
have screen fitted on tuesday and fit wiper arm
get exhaust made and fitted
fit new snap off boss and s/wheel
adjust front coilovers and lower back of car
fit gaiter round gear stick
adjust gear linkage to get 5th gear
and finally check oil drain from turbo as it has a slight leak
and finally some pics of how it looks so far promise ill wash it soon :D
some more pics
some more pics and a few more to come :)

New poster! (less than 10 posts)
And well deserved to Philip
I love the car Phil :D I've just been playing around with a few pics of it from Pod.
Well done on the magazine feature bud :cool:

Cheers scratcher that's a cracking picture just need to lower it and get a nice set of euro deep dish wheels on it but don't think I'll have the cash to get some wheels before the mag shoot :cry:
Real nice Phil:) Gutted I did not make the pod:(
very very nice!!!!:cool:
you have the other videos?
Cheers mate. I redone it, the windscreen was wrong before :laugh:
I was going to say it could go lower at Pod.
A nice set of Lenso BSX would look lovely... or splash out on some real BBS RS :pimp:
Well my thread has been a bit quiet lately but the car seems to be running really well now fitted my aem gauge and it's running very rich still but was very impressed as I had my first road race today with an 11 plate Audi a5 3.0 v6 which is 240 bhp and nearly 370 lb of torque and I left it like it was standing still and at only 14 psi so very pleased so far and just looking forward to putting it on the rollers now and seeing what power I get
looks awesome, is that protected by gard-x?
Lol sorry mate completely forgot about bringing one up for you shall I bring it to ace cafe meet mate
And then it went BANG at 14psi not pulled it apart yet but I'm guessing head gasket

I feel for you matey i know the amount of time and money you have spent on the car at least you have had some good times and made some effort's in the car though:agree:
Er i ran a 9 to 1 ratio, standard timing and 20psi on my vnt for two years before i went efi and the only blow ups were my fault and the not the setup.Quote:

My old setup was 8.6:1 and detted over 21psi and ignition timing was fully retarded, I only blew mine up when I moved the ignition back to standard and every time within 5 miles of doing so H/G would go.
I'm running 8.8:1 mate and I'm sure I could here det well before the boost was up to 15 psi afr's were reading around mid 10's to low 11's so well to rich temp gauge was fine and sitting on the first mark on the gauge but after a quick burst up the road it picked up a misfire and was just plooming out White smoke I have a feeling whatever it is it's to do with the cylinder 2nd along from the water pump as I done a comp test a while before and noticed that bore was a lot lower compared to the rest of the cylinders. If it's the h/g I'm not to worried and can probably get it running again the same day but my problem is what has caused this at only a bar of boost has anyone ever had this before ? Water bottle was completely pressurised and had thrown coolant out the expansion cap on the bottleQuote:

I had this problem last year it turned out the aei was shagged was pinking as the car built boost and on boost @ 13psi. Changed the aei and all was good.
But other issues could be are the timing sensor wires the right way round? bb tuning did timing sensors that where like this brand new in the packet or have you chopped it and switched the wires your self? I use to do this while running a engine in to just make go a bit better@ 0 to stock boost levels. Might be worth a check?
What a cnut fella. Shame to hear that you have done such a good job with the car as well. Was you using that copper gasket in the end matey? As stated try another aei fully retard the timing sensor and see how that goes.

Phil, when you take it apart you will have to upload pic's of the gasket and the bores, and the head.
Phil, I have a spare clio 16v coil pack matey, think you need to go mappable ingition
I still have the AEI off the Raider you can have Phil, let me know if you want it & I'll go over the yard & pick it up.
Phil, you might also want to think about getting some wire rings machined into the top of the liners.. Only prob is, is it's engine out job :(
stripped it down tonight and it looks like the cause is head gasket all steel liners are fine and pistons look fine just a bit black from over fueling head and valves all look fine aswell done a comp test a while ago and is showed that the cylinder second along from the water pump end was a lot lower like 30-40 psi lower and looking at the gasket it has a dented burn mark in it so would this of been why this cylinder was a lot lower on the comp test here are some pics you can see where the gasket has started going like an egg shape. this looks like it has been detting and i think its down to timming so im now on the hunt to see if i can get it efi'd asap so if any one has any efi parts they think they need to get rid of let me know what you have think i may end need to speak to scoff as im thinking of going adaptronic route
Phil, there was an ecu and loom in the classifieds not so long ago,maybe worth a shot ;)
Ok car will now be off road for a while after deciding to go efi engine is soon to come out and have some more work done so hopefully it will be back up and running in a few months ready for next year quite excited now :)
Sounds good, how are you going to sort that engine to get the CR down though ?
(sorry I missed your call, was busy at the time, I did try to ring you back mate)
Going to be hard as the forgies and the block itself have all been skimmed down, and I know the chambers on the head have had alot of work shame to attack the head to modify the compression.
Sorry Phil missed your call was @ Steve's at the time you called:cooter::laugh:
Hope your ok phil after your AnE visit :) looking forward to more updates.. ohh darts soon?
Cheers mate I feel ok just a bit of a frightener with the old ticker looks like I need to have more tests done it looks like I have what me old lady has when my heart goes out if sinc one minute fast the next really slow but all is ok at the mo mateQuote:

Ordered all the sensors today with scoff so will hopefully see them by the weekend also managed to pick up a brand new Bosch 044 original fuel pump today for a great price and treated myself to a bracket for it as well so all that's left to get now is a fuel reg and the manifold made and that should be me dine with the parts for the efi now I just need to think what way I'm going with the engine :)
Sounds good and seeing the quality of your car i am sure it will be fantastic, still think you should ditch the c1j and go F7p turbo:agree:
I said that to him last night & he put the phone down on me :cry::wasntme::cooter:Quote:

You and revit hard Robbie need to take him out for a drive in your car's to show him what he is missing (well once you have finished yours that is).Quote:

Ok things are on the move again had big jim round last week looking at the best way to design the manifold he also had a look at the h/gasket that was on the car and it was the gasket itself which was at fault so nothing to do with high comp, fuel or timing any way engine came out last last cheers dave h for lending a hand so now going back to jim on Tuesday for another rebuild more head and cam work and to get the manifold mate so will update with pics when the progress moves forward about a month or so till I get it back
Cheers Phil
got the adaptronic on yet?
Not yet mate but soon hopefully I have quite a few mods I can be getting on with though why the engine is awayQuote:

Cheers Phil
just looking at your gasket and pistons, not knowing anything else i'd of said there was water on the centre two cylinders being burnt, which usually would mean a warped head. make sure your head is nice and straight. and if you have had the block skimmed check the outer two cylinder liners arent protruding higher than the centre two. Im sure its all fine but its best to check :D
ok small update after now deciding to go efi the main block has had all its extra work done and is now complete and is just in need of a few brackets and the inlet and exhaust manifolds to be made so should be looking towards the end of feb for getting it back and then the fun begins :sad2::D
Good work phil :)
Get ya finger out phill n get it down the meet:cooter:
Mate I'm gagging to get the lump back as when it's nearly there I still need to get it up to scoffQuote:

Phil looking good matey, pic of them on the car would be nice:agree:
im gonna dummy fit them over the weekend on the car if all goes well ill order the tyres on monday as they have to come from germany for the make and size i want and then ill take some pics of them on the car when the tyres arrive
THE ENGINE
all the extra mods have been done to try and squeeze a few more horses out somehow and the lump is all built up and complete,the inlet manifold is almost finished and then it just leaves the exhaust mani to be done and some brackets fitted to finalise things so end of the month i should have it back home
Sounds ace matey, defo make sure he puts a few brackets to hold the turbo up matey;)
Sounds good..... we should have a wager... which red 5 will be finished 1st, yours or Marks :cooter:Quote:

And secondly I have heard that the engine is pretty much complete and will be ready to collect this saturday or next Saturday :D let the fun begin
I'll uploads some **** pics tomorrow of the wheel on the car
Good news they fit, can save up and buy the wheels i've been eyeing up for a while now.. Would of had the money, but some c u next tuesday keyed my Audi, so I've had to put it in the body shop to get a few bits done to the tune of £500 :(:cry:
**** sorry to hear that dave just remember next time you catch up with them run um over failing that use the old school punishment and cut there f***ing fingers off :agree:Quote:

Cant wait till you get this little beast back on the road :agree:
I've got some spacers Phil, pretty sure they are 5mm, I only have 2 though from memory.. I plan on making the Surrey meet so will bring them if you want them.
Cheers steve but like a d**k I have ordered 4 today before reading your reply :cry: but I went with 3mm spacers as I think that's all I need plus with the 5mm I may need linger bolts to fit these rims but if I need more clearance I'll take em off you mate for a drink :agree: I know dave h has to 5mm as wellQuote:

Cool :agree: had a set of modern lines on my c2 years ago. Didn't no they done 8s. I had 7.5s front and 9s on the back. Still trying to source some azev c's or A's for mine.Quote:

will get some better pics through the week when the car is out the garage
few more pics
last ones also felt like crying last night as i dropped one of the wheel bolts and took a small bit of laquer of the lip of the wheel :cry:
looking gooood!!!:cool::cool::cool:

:cool:
Hi mate thank you the wheels are Schmidt modernlines and they are 8" wide by 15"'s tall 4 by 100 centres and have an off set of et25Quote:

Phil mate your 5 looks much better with them wheels on it:cool:. How low are you going to go with it.
Really don't know yet mate as I think 50mm at the front or all round things will start getting battered which I don't want so maybe 30-40mm at the front and may do the same at the back but I have always liked the back at standard and then just drop the front more :scratch:Quote:

Will uploads pics as soon as he sends me some
spent a day on the 5 today finishing of the brakes on the rear to get the rims to fit all done now and painted all the brake calipers again to freshen them up, also finished some wiring in the scuttle to neaten that up and then cleaned the bay and the subframe ready for the engine to come back hopefully next weekend,also got my gearbox back tonight from matt@codered so next week will try and do new fuel set up and start getting the nitrous ready for plumbing in

Ok the day has finally arrived and I now have my engine back after a Long long long long time :eek: but I think the inlet manifold has come out really nice only bad thing is the company can't and won't make me an exhaust manifold now so after selling my last tubular one to help fund the new one I will now have to by one but I have found one which I will order tomorrow and hope it fits or will only need minor adjustments. I have had quite a lot more done to the engine this time round so hoping if all goes well I should have quite a quick 5 also finished my fuel system off and as soon as my laptop stops messing around I'll load up some pics, so now the race is on to see if I can get all the work done and get the car up to scoff if he can fit me in before the fete day as I will be rather pissed off seeing everyones 5's there and not mine
here are the pics
and more
some more
more pics
more of the manifold
last pics for now hope you like
Progress being made... Looks the nuts mate! I am sure you'll be more than happy once its all done and your clocking up the mileage ;)
Thats a nice fannymold shame build time took a little while. :(
Good luck getting it all together if there's anything I can help with just shout mate.
Phil, looking good shame taken so long for fabrication of parts does look good, out of interest what size injectors and what TB are you using?
As per Logg's over if you need a hand doing anything I am more than happy to help matey:agree:
Looks well mate :agree: Id be welding the trigger wheel to the bottom pulley, and then the pulley to the sleeve if not already done as they can slip.
the company who done the work have made a locating dowel mate behind the pully so the trigger wheel cannot come off or slip as i was going to get it welded but this was the neater optionQuote:

cheers for all your coments guys :)
nice bit of work there phill!:)
not a handy thing to make ,are they?
Thank you Michael I wish I had the time and the brains to make things like this but I had this one made for me :)Quote:

nice work phil,
what is ET value of those wheels you got? and what is the tyre size?
i'm probely gonna buy a 7,5J 15 set with Et33 and 195/45 tyres
Fair do's mate proper job :agree:Quote:
Originally Posted by philr5t

Phil :)
okay tx will keep that in mind :):agree:
i suppose they wil fit, because i have 7,5 J and et 33, thats in total 2 cm smaller.
Cheers John let's hope it all fits and works :scratch::laugh:Quote:

work on the car starts as from tonight so hoping to have the engine back in by wednesday
cheers for looking
phil
Cool looking fannymold you got there.

Whats the thought on the combined intercooler/chargecooler setup?

thank you mate i chose to run them both as i wanted to try something different than a front mount as i like the oe look at the front without the front mount on show, so far it seems to be proving good with where i have located the charge cooler at 15psi of boost i didnt see any charge temps higher than 34% so with more boost to be run this time round i hope they dont shoot through the roof but only time will tell :scratch::)Quote:

Phill looks stunning matey can't wait to see this in the flesh. Keep up the good work;)
cheers for the comments lads :)
Chucked the battery on earlier and all seems ok so a couple more jobs left to do by Tuesday evening then up to scoff for some work to be done fingers crossed it will all go to plan and I may have it ready for the fete day :)
Not long to go then mate and you'll be back on the road in 5. Whats left to do then mate.Quote:

things left to do by tuesday night
1 repair a pinched water pipe for charge cooler
2 fit bracket to hold outer throttle cable sleeve
3 fit vnt turbo elbow and connect to down pipe
4 wire both fuel pump lives together and run them to dash area for ecu
5 finally add water,coolant and bleed system add engine oil and gear box oil
then finished and if the car behaves itself up at scoffs i will should have it ready for the FETE meet :D

Looks amazing mate!! Wished my engine bay looked that good!!
Thanks mate it has come out quite well I have been looking at the pics of your bay mate and I think it looks great just get it done and enjoy all your hard work driving it again :agree:Quote:

some pics for you throttle cable now done,strut brace back on but no picture as me phone died
map sensore and adjustable boost solonoid fitted in scuttle
here are some of the regulator all compete and the boost run
So awesome :)
and thought id share this pic of when i could have cried from the other night ****ing oil cooler line

Cheers all got some pics of it at scoffs unit but can't load until tomorrow
Phil
morning all here is a few pics of the car on its way and a couple of pics at efi parts workshop
Excellent work mate. :agree:
Should be a beast with a shed load of torque once all mapped up. Hope you got a good paddle clutch in there. :wasntme:
Was going to ask how you were planning on controlling the VNT, if it behaves like mine did, your boost will increase as normal but instead of stopping at 14psi (or what ever the actuator is set to) it'll just keep climbingQuote:

I am sure Chris aka Scoff will sort it out, surprised no one is using some kind of electronic actuator like some of the VW's and others use that come from factory. If a manufacturer can control a vnt Scoff is more than capable of doing so:agree::D
yeh, what he said ^^^ :p
Looking really nice, looking forward to the results!

a big thanks to scoff for keeping me well up to date on the cars progress at his workshop, hopefully if all goes to plan chris will be in a position to fire the car up today :) here is a picture chris kindly sent over of the loom for my 5
Nice mate very nice hands down to you with all the effort:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN0xi...ature=youtu.be
It looks like there might be some port wall wetting with the injectors being so far from the inlet valves (slight stumble after ovverun before idle returns and transient throttle being a pig to set) but I think that should improve once I get a map done. If not, Phil, you might want to think about adding an idle control valve so we can introduce some idle-calm down/dash pot effect.
Chris :)

Cheers logg and cheers dave for all the late nights you spent with me :eek:Lol on helping me get it back together :agree:
Be interesting to see how well she goes :agree:
Boost hose blown off at idle. Not a good sign :sad2:
:laugh:
received a pm from scoff last night letting me know the car now has a base map and has now been running for a good couple of hours with no real issues apart from idle is not as crisp as chris could get it but i think for now i can live with that but i do have good oil pressure and the engine temp is good as well and should be able to collect the car next thursday, so hopefully soon it will be on the rollers for some full throttle mapping and see how it goes :)
Excellent news Phillip.
cheers loggQuote:

Idle is fine phil, what I was saying was that idle was poor if I tried to lean it out to where I wanted it. That's just an injector thing, not worth worrying about :)

Evening all just received a pm from scoff the car had it's first mapping with boost today and mate quite some good power but it looks like I may need to look into a bigger compressor front end to find some more bhp but so far I'm really pleased as its making almost 270bhp at 25 psi but with some more mapping to come over the next few days hopefully Chris can find a few more bhp. Here are some pics so far :) cheers Chris

https://www.rtoc.org/files/Technical%...T/IMG_0670.JPG
nice one phil happy days and vnt turbo mapped by scoff at 25psi no problem:smokin:
seems to get the pressure before it gets the torque? cam timing could be advanced more maybe?
impressive results tho :D:agree:
Good news Phil :agree:
Cheers lads for your nice comments it's good to see all the work finally paying off, hopefully there still might be a little bit more to come from the mad scientist and I'm already searching now for a bigger front compressor housing :laugh::D
Great work guys. Hope to see it finished soon.
Phil, that is very good power matey for only 25psi, well done :agree::cooter:
Well yeah, it wasn't responding to any more boost at those lower RPM's so the gradual boost curve is deliberate (controlled by ECU). There wasn't any point in sticking 25psi in that early. It's also a result of the VNT, if you consider how it controls boost. As the vanes open it'll want to breath better and so torque doesn't drop of as quickly as it would with a smaller fixed turbine. The result is a longer, flatter torque curve.Quote:
Originally Posted by Tony Walker
It responded to the extra boost higher up though. Advancing the cam might ruin power output higher up so I don't think he should do that. His engine generally is working really well though, certainly carb-fed GTT's dont make anything like that power, but I think he could do better still if he bins the 60trim T3 and thinks about the cam profile a bit more. It wasn't responding to any more than 25psi.
It's so interesting all this stuff :agree:
WoW :agree: now that's a graph and a half 200 lb-ft for about 3k that's going to be a great road car. :smokin:
:smokin:
Must be a real animal to drive with all that torque through the ATB :agree:
Looking very good, Going to be a fantastic animal to drive.. :agree:
Phil asked me for a quick video of it on the dyno so here goes :)
Watch out for the sparks though, turns out the oil cooler pipes were arching with the ignition live on the top of the alt. I had to fit some insulated terminals after this run.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDzDihmGvaU
Chris
Loving the sparks. I better insulate mine too as mine runs the same.

cheers see you Thursday mate
Just looks like the throttle cable is attached to the bulkhead. I thought u might get problems if the engine moves and opens/closes the throttle, perhaps there is plenty of slack?Quote:

Awesome work :agree: i think i need to get my money out and go efi!!
you know it makes sense john i still cant believe how well its gone and i aint got the car back yet and im already looking to buy more bits to get more power :laugh::laugh:Quote:

Well done phil with all your effort. I rembering seeing a picture or 2 when it was sat up for ages in a state on yor drive.
Cheers rich it seems ages ago nearly 3 years since then mate let's just hope it passes the Mot on Saturday so I can make the fete day I have organised you coming up to it in a car mate
I cant see it failing mot mate. Roll on thursday:burnrubber:Quote:

Shame about the mot but good news the car will still make it to thebfete meet. So come on were are the pics of the new ride height
Can't upload yet lap top is playing up do you have a picture phone as I can send them to you buddyQuote:

Some more pics of phils reem machine :)
Looks awesome.
The pic of it poking out the garage is top drawer :)
its passed :) just needs tax now which can be done on line :agree:
Really like this car what wheels are they
great news phill looked ace at the fete. hope to see it at the meet:D

Love the schmitds! Anyone know the size of these? 15x7? et?

Oh and when is back end being dropped 20mm? :D
Car is pretty much done now for this year just a couple of small things to iron out but then through the winter I'm gonna be looking into modding my vnt turbo to try and get it pushing 300 bhp and hopefully next year it will have a nos kit on it as well for pod. Still toying with the idea of lowering the rear but at the mo I kinda like the stance it's got :)Quote:

Your car is a true credit to you Phil:agree::agree: attention to detail in everyway!
It looks soooooooooo funking sweeeeeet:smokin::smokin::worship:
Its been a great thread to follow too:agree:
Cheers Wallace it took sometime alot of head banging and endless amounts of f***ings and blindings mate but I'm so chuffed myself of how well it came out and how well it runs with a fair bit of power to go with the look, I don't think I'll ever get bored with the car as it will never be a daily anymore just for shows meets national days and pod now so next on the list is find more power through the turbo and may look into having a cam built for me at the same time oh yer and some gas of course :wasntme:Quote:

Where did you get those chrome tailgate struts from? Latest pics are good:cool:
Was nice to have a nose around her last week, top work.

That looks far to reliable to go on a French car.
It came off a dirty grey parked up seat thought I might as well use it seeing as the car ain't going to move for a while as its having new rims fitted that give the car 25bhp more on each corner :cooter: ;)Quote:

Just a little update to let people know after always wanting to see my car featured in a magazine it's finally going to happen it will be in performance French car mag not sure yet what month but the photo shoot is tomorrow at 12 pm in east grinstead I would really love to see it get front cover but will see what they rekon when they see the old girl :)
Good work Phil. It is a beauty and deserves some recognition after all the work you've put in to it. :agree:Quote:

Cool - looking forward to reading about it and seeing it in the flesh- well done mate, it's a nice feeling, my r26 was In pfc 3 times last year - not a full feature but cool none the less
Guys thank you all very much for your kind words it really does mean a lot :)
It will break down en route
Well done bud
:laugh: well done Phil, that will definitely make the front cover. Keep us posted as to what month it's in.Quote:

Well just got back from the photo shoot that lasted about 5hrs but was all well worth it and the editor is a top bloke the initial shoot was meant for 90 minutes but once he saw the car he said instantly it will be front cover and it will also have a 7 page spread with a pop out poster so really chuffed he also thinks redline and fast car will want it to as he is also the editor for them as well have some images I done on my phone that ill put up in a little bit
Well done mate, I new it would make the cover;)
Awesome work matey if anyone deserves that many pages in a mag feature its you, credit to your top work. :niceone:
Top job. Look forward to seeing it in print :)
Here are some pics I took on my I-phone from the shoot today it's looking like August is when it will be featured :)

Looking good. I am with Gary matey rear needs lowering sits to high
youve done an amazing job on this mate really really nice :cool::cool:
I actually agree with you guys after seeing it sitting there today both me and my dad said the back needs dropping about an inch or a tad more but may still also bring the front up a tad moreQuote:

Phil
great news phils just got 309 @32 ish psi at scoffs ill post vid shortly
holy shit! that's mental!
seeing the photoshoot pics again i just realised the same bloke took photo's from the 9 at FCS, still awaiting his e-mail....
he wasnt at fcs mate its a c1j too:laugh:
The bloke taking the pics was ;)
wires crossed arthur i think yeah phils was featured last year matey:laugh:
cant wait to see the 9 feature lol, but still dont beat seeing the 9 in the flesh:agree:
Evening chappies we are on route home from scoffs and to say I'm happy is an understatement for those of you who know me you know my goal has always been to try and brake the 300hp barrier with minimal lag with a Vnt still on a c1j and to sit here now knowing it made more feels a great achievement the cars had a right pasting today and probably took a good 30+ runs on board with no real issues the potential power was 309.9 bhp @32psi running slightly lean so a healthy 301.3 bhp was achieved and finally id like to say a massive thanks to mike at gt turbo spares for being a true gent and offering to get the car up there for me what a great guy and what a laugh we have had this weekend cheers to mike scoff and anyone else who's helped over the years I'm now in the c1j 300+ hp club

Know its been a long road for you with a few ups and downs but its finally done it!
Now bolt some tyres on and get it down the strip :D
Sounds and looks awesome and no doubt goes like stink:smokin:
Awsome motor :agree:
Can I ask a few questions about your set up?
When does it hit full boost and when does it make peak power as in rpm?
Just curious as to how it feels with the VNT.

Evening chaps I just wanted to say thanks to mike from surrey meet Marky mark James 5 and scoff for the phone calls tonight just went I thought everything had gone horribly wrong after a great success from the weekend it seems my problem was a loose connection on the afr gauge which was telling my ecu that I was basically on full throttle when trying to start it and would not run for love or money all sorted now though cheers guys
Just to give you guys a little run down of how amazing a c1j really can be when really played with all my engine mods have performed an amazing result to the point that with just running 10 psi pre load only the car was making 214 bhp it pulled a few consistent 300+ hp runs the most being 309.9 but a little to lean so a happy 301.3 was its favoured outcome all this come from no more than 7,200 rpm around a 7.7-1 comp ratio and boost level between 32-33.6 psi all still on a Vnt turbo with still minimal lag the engine performed at its best when charge temps were around 27% and still good but not as good when temps were reaching 35% so the charge cooler set up seems to be performing really well I have also cured my little burning oil issue on tick over which seemed to be a mixture of good high oil pressure but minimal back pressure on tick over causing oil to push past the turbo seals this was corrected by scoff just by setting the throttle slightly higher that's it from me now and I hope I can finally enjoy driving it again with a **** off smile on my face from here ................. To ................ Here watch out cossies there's a new Marshall in town ;):D
Awesome. Get a GoPro or car cam thing and create some in-car vids for us all to be envious of :D
Wow, just read all 19 pages of this thread. Cracking read and is really motivating me to get my 5 all finished. Not sure i will ever go the EFI route, but will see what happens when / if I get around to rebuilding the engine.
Awesome!
