Ash-Kennard Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Good news Luke! I'm not excited for mine, but got until August I think for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Cheers dude, was pretty stoked/surprised for it to go through with literally nothing! Proper update on SCN In other news: Hunt for houses at the mo has stagnated a bit, and it's looking less likely that I'm going to find something with a decent garage and/or pit which is pretty weak. May knock together something along these lines in the meantime: http://raceramp.co.uk/ Comedy ad is comedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Had a guided tour of the FIAT Lingotto factory yesterday, followed by a free bar and a party in the hotel conference rooms in Turin. Super cool place! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Lots of cool places in the world, I don't understand people who travel though personally I feel like I've really found myself in Italy, I just feel so free to the world. Oh wait, no I don't. I'm still just as much as a fanny as I was before. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Best budget uprated clutch for a 1.8T? Using OEM DMF. Or should I stick to an OEM LUK one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 What power are you running/are you intending to run? 210bhp, 238lb/ft I have a turbo back exhaust and FMIC to go on and I'm considering "stage 2" although I don't think I will get much more out of the stock KO3s?

CurtisRider Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 So there has been some n/a 924s that have had turbos whacked onto them and the only other change is fuelling turned up apart from exhaust and an oil feed. Can it really be as simple as that? I understand the fabrication effort for the exhaust and that isn't an issue for me at all. I think my car has an area for an oil feed for the turbo as it shares most parts in common with the 924 turbo engine. I always thought there was more to fitting a turbo to an n/a engine, but this is all they claim to have done. Does this sound about right?

dann2707 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Offered to rivet a new accelerator pedal plate on for someone tonight from cliosport. They've just been round and brought me some beers! I said I'd do it for free and just to help him as that would make me happy as it is.

Seems particularly crude, but would work in theory just without being particularly well optimised? I'd imagine there'd be rich/lean spots all through the rev range as I'm assuming there's no way to map the thing as such! In other news: I has toys to fit... 80mm B5 v3 TIP and 25/28mm Neuspeed ARBs. Paint's a bit tatty but otherwise spot on and will firm things up nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ha! Looks worse than it is due to my terrible photography/lighting skills!

Plenty of turbo bikes out there with nothing more than a turbo, plenum and jetting to suit If the bottom end is man enough and the compression low enough / ignition controllable enough to stop detonation then no reason why it shouldn't work.

Pashley26 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 So I have left the Golf for a couple of days whilst I have been in Italy. Last night I changed the DV because the old one was absolutely shot. Tried to swap to my twin light grille, all the mounting points and lugs off the slam panel are bent or missing so it's going to have to be zip tied I think. Now the working DV is fitted the car is smoother and faster driving it and accelerating (no matter how much), but as soon as you lift off and it recirculates the ECU shits itself and it stalls. Mapping required, badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sure its fitted right? Even badly mapped, it shouldn't stall when it recirculates unless its not fitted right, or has a vacuum leak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Of cause it's fitted right haha. No VAC leaks. Put the old DV on that doesn't recirculate, back to how it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hmmm...weird. AGU's are pretty stupid (as you know). I doubt its software related, because it dumps after the MAF, so the ECU doesn't know about it until the air gets to the lambda. Do you have a PCV system or anything on there? How do you know you have no vac leaks? How have you tested it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 No PCV system. It'll be fine. Wheels are here, woo. Need to get the tires fitted ASAP and the suspension up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
