KIRAN VRT 10 Posted January 4, 2013 Engine :smug: Hi ollie Good eye to know thats a fiesta next to my rado Its a zetec turbo - an absolutely mental build where nothing is factory barr the recaro interior, my mate has gone all out but i dont want to disclose too much as he will kill me lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy 0 Posted January 4, 2013 Nice build my man, 3" straight through is Mega loud though, cops may be a little annoyed and you might want to carry some ear deafs if your doing more than a 20 mile trip. Can't believe the size difference in runner lengths in the exhaust Mani,number 1 is 3 times longer than number 6! At least its cast and space saving.

KIRAN VRT 10 Posted January 4, 2013 Slowly but surely getting my VRT there - still collecting parts at the moment. I'm trying to do it on a piece-meal basis so that the wife doesn't catch me, lol! Next big purchase will be the manifold, hence my question... I'm thinking of giving the whole lot to Vince to build and map, but also heard good things about Dave Walker at Emerald and I thought I'd read you were using one of their ECUs so I wondered if you'd thought of going with them? What took you to Track and Road in the end? Mark Hi mark I was gonna look else, but the lads down track and road have done a couple of my mates cars and seem reasonable cost wise, also im having all my wiring sorted next door to them so im doing all the mechanical and passing it on to have all eletrical done and then next door for mapping They have promising maps from vrt's mapped in the past so i thought why not, I trust experience and reputation and speaking to the mappers and popping down a couple times while they are mapping so you know how hey work and see how they treat cars on the dyno. ( if i were you i would speak to dave walker and make sure what u need install to be mapped is there, if your going big on power ask dave what injectors will be best for him to map on and also fit a bosche 044 fuel pump, walbro pumps arent enough in my opinion for chasing high numbers. Anyway if you need any links for parts or info just shout me Cheers Kiran ---------- Post added at 5:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 5:48 PM ---------- Hi dannyboy i know what u mean about runner length but i needed a cast mani to do the job as my turbo setup is heavy and there f'all space back there, i know the exhaust is gonna be loud as hell and to top it off my screamer pipe is to atmosphere but oh well, i didnt build this to keeps the cops happy lol ....as said in scarface .....the cops need people like me so they can point their fingers and say thats the bad guy lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaded2882 0 Posted January 5, 2013 I wish I could tell you how it was done but I bought the car all done, as did Oz, the previous owner! Have a look at the golf+ article on my members thread which gives an outline of how they did it: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?73937-Blackberry-VR6-Turbo-4x4-VIDEOS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIRAN VRT 10 Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) i knowthe last post was rubbish lol Hey guys Well seeing as the lease was up on the garage, I was forced to push plans forward an finish my car, it still has some tweeks needed, like higher spring rates on the shocks and changing a clutch slave and line but besides that shes pretty much there. things fitted at the moment include the following but have prob missed loads out lol garrett gt35 with 1.06 exhaust housing 550cc injectors emerald k3 spa exhaust mani tial mv-s wastegate innovate lc-1 wideband professional custom made loom (by the way may start producing these for sale as direct fit for rado vrt's and will be usable for alot of the major ecu's) decomp engine (spacer), rebuilt head + arp head bolts and rod bolts - but i do have a forged bottom end to go on soon lol (wossner pistons, arrow rods, arps, etc) walbro fuel pump helix 4 paddle clutch 4" air filter custom made side exit exhaust dummy rear exhaust external screamer 2 X 10" kenlowe fans intercooler mikalor clamps and vbands everywhere porsche brakes, ferodo ds2500 pads prosport gauges all aircon removed, also rad fan control removed ford gen 2 coil pack obd2 throttle body custom ht leads gaz hga suspension eibach camber bolts audi tt comp wheels black leather interior turbosmart bov 3bar map sensor porsche boost solenoid moded sump catch can kit moded front bumper polished inlet and rocker any way i could go on but heres some pics of her and a couple of vids i should hopefully have the clutch slave sorted for the weekend so can get more pics/vidz ignore the catch can on the firewall - had it out whilst bleeding the clutch master lol she needs a clean, 6 months assembling in a dusty garage what can you do? still need to set the height correct to a good stance anyway when I went for a mapping session, turned out my wastegate spring was too soft as i could only make 3psi of boost lol (i had a 0.2 bar spring) so at 3 psi, I made 245bhp and 240 ft/lbs torque - which i think isnt that bad for run one. heres her on the dyno http://s931.photobucket.com/user/k1r4n/media/CFA88612-9F3E-4B50-BD08-2E90348459F7-4259-000004493483FFF9_zpsdfa3b516.mp4.html love how the spoiler goes up after 40 lol and heres her on road @ 3psi http://s931.photobucket.com/user/k1r4n/media/797D4828-A620-47BC-A836-3839B012725E-4259-0000043F4D3D86CD_zps3193535c.mp4.html since this video, waste gate spring has been change and boost is now up to 7psi for the moment, and damn this thing feels nuts, but planted, VRT is so the way forward, i can't believe i once considered a supercharger (no offense to those who do lol) anyway, i will update this post fully once all the minor bits are sorted and i get back on the dyno for a full boost run lol Edited July 4, 2013 by KIRAN VRT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
