Cheers guys

yeah the car is cool,but I'm loving that garage., :D

 

 

its bit of mess now got it tidied today so i can get both cars in there

[B5VWC 0]

430 horses running on 5.5 cylinders :shock:

430 horses running on an engine with 125k on it :shock:

430 horses running standard internals :shock:

 

Fair play that's a bit of a beast! 8)

 

You planning to increase the power, now you have a spangly new engine with forged internals??

 

 

yeah it was shocking - good news your car managed 430hp but now the bad news is you now have piston wear

but thats how it goes at that sort of power it will find the weakest point

right now im just happy its running and i can drive it, will see how it runs and change it later its easy to swap

Hi bobby, thanks for the rear beam, would have loved to have stayed a bit longer and had a good chat and look over your car but time was tight still had stuff to load up for mallory tomorrow. Have just read over your thread and i'm even more impressed now with the true extent of the work gone into your car, would def like to have a proper look over it another day and hear the beast. take it easy

cheers

thats an awesome setup you have there, why bother with 24 valves when you can get that sort of results with the original 12 eh?

 

question: and i suppose this goes for all supercharged VRs - do you worry about water ingress into your engine with the air filter set so low in the wheel arch? with the weather we are having lately there are some big puddles about that could possibly be disasterous? I have a VF charger setup for mine, and will end up with the filter in the same position, but i am not sure i am entirely happy about that!

 

just a thought.

Never had that problem with mine matey, and as you know, it's been a daily driver for 6 years with all the mods it's ever had, inc S/C :wink:

if you use the undertrays for the wings - they stay covered - so not a worry

[CoxyLaad 0]

reason i ask is one of the cars at work (07 vw passat) gave up its life when water entered the engine. saying that the stupid tw4t did attempt to drive through a frickin mini lake though lol

 

those undertrays wont do nothing to stop a high water level, they will stops splashes at best, but clearly it isnt an issue.

yeah thats right the 24v flows better and has better management but getting one fitted and fully running is not that straightforward plus it will still cost just as much to run when it comes to parts & fuel

 

love the sound of mine not whiney like vortechs but you know it has some power on throttle just cant break 4k yet

 

not had much problem with rain, its not a daily like some of the guys on here so im lucky - but i know what you mean - I will just use mine on dry days if i can

Booby, good to meet you, thanks for teh bits and bobs and glad it passed the MOT. A beast - i didnt know what i was looking at under the bonnet. Get it on a rolling road now and see what it puts out.

no problem hasan good luck with the conversion

 

will get it on rr once its run in although i reckon it will be similar power now unless i fit a 70mm pully

[B5VWC 0]

Update --- closing on 2000 miles now at 3.5k rpm limit fustrating that I cant open it up yet with another 4000rpm left but not long now

Will be dyno'd on 16th so far so good runs alot smoother but makes an evil sound no charger whine at all, get asked what turbo im running LOL

 

Came back from Edition38 today was a good show thought I would add some pics of the car for a change - cleaned it properly for first time in 2 years...
