Scoff, what were the bolt patterns on g/b compared to block like? Did you have much work to get them to line up?

compared with the old 02J ? they are the same, more or less. If you ment how did they compare with the renault bolt pattern then they're totally different - the VW pattern is a lot broader meaning the new bellhousing overhangs the renault bolt pattern.Originally Posted by Chris Hebden
Bit of an update, progress is slow because I'm getting ready for a house move but I found some motivation today to machine up the injector bosses for the new inlet manifold. Thanks to clee for having the backplate with integral trumpets made for me. I made a demo runner too, it all fits pretty well. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish the other runners and start tacking it together.
You making two of those and we'll go halves on the development costs?compared with the old 02J ? they are the same, more or less.

development costs = 2x sheet of A4 and an HB pencil
lol...development costs = 2x sheet of A4 and an HB pencil
What is best size plenum you can fit?
4.5ltr at a guess. The only bit I sat down and designed was the parts you see in the picture. making the plenum will be a bit on-the-fly once I've got the rest inplace
looks good, is it all from stainless?
Will the plenum be of a tapered design or do you have enough room to mount the throttle in the middle?4.5ltr at a guess. The only bit I sat down and designed was the parts you see in the picture. making the plenum will be a bit on-the-fly once I've got the rest inplace
It'll have a bit of a taper jon, end fed from behind the o/s headlamp, but I'm going for volume inplace of a sharp taper. My boost run is only 60mm, I think I would need to increase that and the size of the throttle if I wasn't going with volume.
looking good Chris. 60mm? just as well you're not looking for much power
Looking good Scoff.I'll be looking at my manifold eventually in 2019 possibly! I think the existing is something like 40mm dia. Not sure on the volume but its piss poor. Im also using a 70mm throttle body which may have something to do with slight hesitancy on initial throttle?
I guess its worth building something with a little more capacity!
I know, I just can't help but think it'll make no difference. Compressor outlet ID is 55mm. I can see that it would make more difference if I didn't have a lot of volume in the plenum. Maybe I'll go upto 73mm boost hoses and 80mm throttle sometime in the year so I can see what difference it makes.looking good Chris. 60mm? just as well you're not looking for much power
Matt, could be - the big throttle makes it harder for the ECU to judge transient throttle enrichments. Your older ECU has only a 2D throttle pump effect, newer hardware and firmwares have a full 3D map-prediction system that means you can have the throttle response of an OEM
it's all allu mate.
Looking good Chris, I wish I had the tools to do stuff like that.
Can't wait to see this in action later this year, any idea on when you want to start testing @ pod?
The plates are CNC steve, I made the injector bosses on the lathe and runners by hand.
I started tacking the inlet manifold together today. Hopefully I'll get the plenum and throttle done tomorrow ready for welding next week. Turns out the throttle is 65mm and I thought it was 60mm so I had to re jig a few parts to cater for that.
When your disappointed with your first attempt and decide your gonna make a new and improved MK II version, I'll be more than happy to take your "cast off" for mine
work of art
looks far better than mine
Nice workYou in your new house yet? hope not if thats your new kitchen worktop or is that just the garage
Hope all your plans come together nicely and you get to max out this year on the power you were making last year.
All the work looking and sounding excellent.
To see more upgrades/power pushed thru the engine in next couple of years wouldnt even matter, Its phenomenal so far, Yet you have left yourself other options and future ideas
Fingers Crossed for the gearbox
Lovin the board mate .... Look forward to catching up soon mate
Finished tacking the manifold together tonight
Scoff very impressive you have no end of talent
Its not super neat to be fair, but it should work OK
Nice work mate...
What a great work of art you have built , fantastic stuff hope you achieve your new goals for 2011
Have you got an ac/dc set in the garage then chris?
No jon, just tacked with a mig & argon. I'd love a tig, no space, it'll be something I invest in and learn once I'm set up in the new garage though
That's looking all very sorted .You going to mirror polish it ?
Just realised how it will sit on on your setup will make the boost pipe run alot shorter aswell, looking forward to seeing your car at national day this year
Scoff,
Tigs can be really small units:
http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/pr...arctig-welders
thats smaller than a lunch box!!
matt, yes mate, but when I say no space I mean zero, nowt, literally couldn't fit another thing in the garageI'd need an ac too, which tend to be a bit bigger
james, yes thats the plan. throttle is really tight on the headlamp surround, need to hack it away to get the throttle sensor in.
lee, erm
For those of you that don't currently have erections...
A big thanks to the Glenster, Mr. HI5 for donating the bit of fuel rail extrusion, all his work sorting out the welding guy and the help thereafter. He also managed to convince me that it ought to be polished
So that was today, I finished the fuel rail, did the final port shaping and polished the rest of it.
Looks fuking amazing bud. Top darts.
a work of damn art that.. well done
looking good mate, it'll make changing the plugs sooooo much easier
and inspecting them, it's a big bonuslooking good mate, it'll make changing the plugs sooooo much easier
looks fantastic, i've just been watching some of your vids on youtube, awesom stuff
Maybe a silly question but do you use it on the road Scoff?
ooo, i want one, exit to the left tho please
Oh very very nice and looks the part too!! Amazing job.
I have a bonner
That welding looks absolutely perfect.
So what's next to get the shiney treatment?
ohhh luverly ...you can see your face in that
That looks the business now innit
Not so much really, to and from national day and the occasional show or something. If there's a few of you it can be a good laugh
or blattin down welsh country roads with a mk1 5 tl attached to the back of it ;-)
Sweet..... You got the ID2000s yet?
There's a good bit of pussy in one of the pics
Functional and polished!!Very nice bit of kit indeed
Ha, it was the other way around I think
Awwwwwesome
