the best solution by far is retrofiting projectors with hid ballasts in the existing reflectors, the light quality intensity and spread is awesome. The stock reflectors arent good enough, although the uprated loom does help, adding 100w bulbs will kill the reflectors and fade them quickly.

Hi, it's haldex with controller switch, mounted on modified rallye rear beam and rear suspension arms, best thing I ever did! The aim was to achieve 700+hp per tonne, the power we have reached, the weight we are 80kg over for now.

Cheers mate, next time come say hello. Current work is going into gears and ratios, stock 02m r32/4cyl ratios are way too short for high power, this is preliminary testing until the dog gear kit is finished.

Current update, new skin to evade the radar :) High res

After a set of doors, glass or other ancs not needed. thanks

lol 440 cc is not considered to be a big injector, to make more power you will need more fuel period so the bigger injector is a must. New generation of injectors nowdays is more advanced than the older style given better spray patterns and control. Of course in order to get good idle with a new set of injectors your tune must be changed. I have seen stable idle with injectors up to 1000cc on 16v engines vw or others, dont be scared of bigger injectors for your engine, as long as you can feed more air into and adjust your map :).

what no turbo :shrug: :)

I will be at GTi festival but hopefully Big Bang if all goes well.

Been very cought up with work but I have managed to sneak a few new parts under the bonnet. I have installed bigger valves, valvetrain components and new camshafts. All in all should be able to produce power up to 9krpm, be at the right rpm after shifting. Should be able to do some dyno runs soon followed by some sprint runs.

Ciao As for camshafts there is various selection to pick from but most of them are for NA, will also depend what type of lifter you are using. Stock cams work good on turbo but once you start getting serious you need to change cams. Adjustable chain sprokets and front pulley its a good idea to optimize your powerband and stop losses. You could achieve 500hp on stock cams but lets say with proper cams you could do more power for same amount of timing and boost.

The EVO is for sprints/sunday monster. You would be amazed how well they can spool the big turbos, launching is a piece of cake using launch control. It has a Crower stroker 2.4 crank, 8x very big injectors as it will be used on ethanol E85/E100 daily and VP import for racing. The "gold" valve springs are not made of gold, they are high quality steel wire, withstand large coil bind, used in many Nascar teams. I really hope they start selling E85 in more pumps around London, you can run such an aggressive tune and whole load of boost :luvlove:

Yep right on, its from a EVO 8, very well designed head must say 8) . As far as the fuel rail, you can use the 20v rail with the stock 16v flange, you can get away by using spacers and tapping the flange for M6/8 bolts so you can fasten it down. Although I like to weld 2 alu nuts/blocks on the flange and tap them instead.

Ok maybe this next clue should give all away. Andrew its a customers head not mine :razz: . As for compression wise he is running 9:1 pretty much what I run too.

Doesn't have to be German :wink: I finished it off recenlty, has inconel Ferrea valves, gold double valve springs very high duration cams, superlight weight lifters titanium everything, fully ported, 5 angle cut seats. Its going on an engine that will run a GT42R turbocharger :shock: :grin:
