looking good mate! pretty curious on how the girl's going to do
looking good mate! pretty curious on how the girl's going to do
Next step for the old girllol so I'm going to start collecting parts again
Thinking along the lines of a second set of injectors maybe some 350cc to go with the 560cc in there already so the smaller injectors do the work lower down and make if better for driving off boost
Uprated valve springs to get a bit more rpm's out of it and maybe more power too
An 02m gearbox conversion to handle the power (ready for next year or the year after)
how about just sticking it up pod as is to get a benchmark, get your arse to the September day mate, love to see it go up the strip, see if the JB3 can hack it!!
Im just starting to collect bits and im going to run it as it is for the moment and then out it will come around winter timeso got a jc5 on its way and a new release bearing so if its done in time then i might be able to sneek up pod for a bit
What clutch are you running?
It's a 6 paddle helix with a helix cover in 215mm
Ok so my jb3 didn't last long
So after an afternoon and evenings working on the car the engine has come out
after a quick look at the box i decided that if im going to run some good power i must upgrade the box too
So i decided on this a drw golf tdi 02m box
Gearbox conversion
New flywheel and clutch
Upgrade to some land rover V8 engine mounts
Second set of evo injectors putting in my manifold so putting it up to 1120cc
Cutting up my 2 pace chargecoolers and welding them together so less pipe work
Oh and I'm thinking about a bigger turbo but not sure what to use maybe a gtx3071r or an gtx3076r or do i stick with a journal bearing unit but a bit bigger hmmmm we will see
So it will be off the road till after christmas to be ready for early next year
It's off the road already john
The DRW will be very tall for road use. 4th gear will be like top gear in your GTT gearbox, then you'll still have 5th and 6th to go.

I use the same final drive in mine, it'll do over 150mph in 4th with 24" tall tyres ! 6th is very nice for motorway cruising at low RPM but not much use otherwise.
Oh only 150Originally Posted by Scoff
Oh only 150
try almost 180mph in a reliant kitten
and yes it was stable, a little quirky at about 130 ish then settled down after that, was noisy though
showed a few cars up at spa a few months ago
think 6th should be good for around 186mph @ 6800rpm lol just getting started
Any video?try almost 180mph in a reliant kitten

just a few more pictures of a few new parts
got the box apart and have removed the diff so it can have the steel rivets taken out and some nice arp bolts in it to hold it all together insteadgot the adaptor plate from scoff the other day (thanks Chris) also going to try and use a golf hydraulic clutch pedal with the box as it has a slave cylinder built in and put it in its own box in the car
will see how that works but hopefully be ok.
Also got the 6 speed gear selector to fit in the car with some cables to suit
Got a new thermostat which is an 80c opening one to keep temps nice and warm as it was running a little too cold for my liking as the setup i had bypassed the stat a little and took a while to see good running temps
Then while im at it i have a choice of grills but think the phase 2 is the way to go. To match i also have a nice new bumper on the front and a good second hand one to repaint for the rear to bring the car back to a more O.E. look
Good to see some updates mate! Keep them coming
This is the tits - can't wait to see it all done and finished. I've yet to go out in a well set up F lump 5.
few more bits for the car got some injector bosses made ready to be welded on the manifold so i can run 8 injectors got my second set of evo 560cc injectors being tested and cleaned too so will be done soon
second fuel rail is away being modded at the moment so should be done this week
diff has had the rivets drilled out ready for some new arp bolts to hold it together
got a sachs 6 paddle clutch disc for the car just need a suitable cover to match
Oh and had a ptfe inlet gasket made to fit the f7r head
keep em coming mate

isn't handy good to you
JP, make sure you drill out the rivets from the 1st/2nd gear selector fork and replace with 8.8 bolts, tack welded in place.
No problems Chris it's next to do once diff is sorted I'm going to clean everything and move it from one side of the case to the other and clean as I go to keep it all in order
Thanks Andy for sourcing the injector bosses and drilling the diff rivets outisn't handy good to you
any updates yet mate?
judging by the pictures the gearbox failure whas a driver induced one and not power...
Only up date is flywheel is all made and being picked up from scoffs on Sunday by TNT Andy
Yes gearbox had the nut on the shaft come loose so it didn't hold 5th gear in place too well
superb work to carry out!!
I was under the charm with RTOC DAYS
ok a few updates to add just a few pics
But on a more serious note i have now got my flywheel
Also is a exhaust and inlet temp sensor to fit
Got my second bank of evo injectors all cleaned and tested with the injector bosses tacked in place to see how well it fits looks good with the other rail on it too.
Last off i've had my chargecoolers changed so the ends have been chopped off my 2 pace chargecoolers and they have been both welded end to end
Just need a few more bits to start putting the vag box in will be done for around march next year ready for car season
lol 8 injectors seems crazy to think my carb dribbles fuel through a 1.2mm hole.
You show those to Handy and nom nom nom - Gone!ok a few updates to add just a few pics
its a giant green bosch injector!!! what cc is rated for
all joking aside , glad to see your little boys doing well
better keep that chargecooler away from me ,might be tempted to try it for size
Lmao
Good to see some progress mate! And good to see the little one is doing okay.
I look forward to some future upgrades!
Ok not updated this for a while so just seeing if I can put pictures on here from my phone
Finished my inlet and now have 8 injectors
Can only seem to do one picture at a time to
Got the conversion plate from scoff changed a little
Gearbox needed a clean
To this
Also cleaned the diff had the old rivets drilled and some arp bolts bolts put in to replace them.
Cleaned up all the gear sets and removed the selector folks ready to be modified
good progress mate! are you going to do something to the f/d too?
if you look in my articles there are a few calcs with different f/d's
Funny you ask

Thinking the dwr box I have might be just a tad too tall and a final drive swap might be on the cards
just thought i hadnt got round to scanning this so here it is
Yay just trying to show off now
He he no
hi mate,
can you tell some more about what you did with the cam timing?
i'm reading into it atm and probably going to retard my intake cam to decrease overlap.
cheers!
