My t25 powered DT

[Olly_p]

Thought i post up my DT,and how it got to where i am today....

I bought the first one for 200 bucks with a head gasket gone and it was in a proper state!




It was hanging




Replace head gasket went over the engine wasnt as bad as it looked

Interior was next




Replaced with gti6 interior



Removed wheels these cost me 50 bucks delivered from ebay with 3 good tyres!

---

New exhaust system fitted 2 1/2 straight through to a 4inch tailpipe



I did lower this car myself and will never be doing one again what a pain in the ass!



Boost gauge fitted


I did mod the gov and ground the lda down.....but the body work was too bad so i bought another black 3 dr and made a good one out of the two

This is the second one

---

Now it was time for the fmic, this was the first attempt








Shortly after it was fitted (3 days) turbo went pop.....

Out came the engine





Full rebuild.....and t25 turbo





Engine back in and re did the intercooler pipework





Had to remove washer bottle replaced it with scooby i/c spray bottle just sits behind head light.

---

It has 11mm pump on it.....but im tailing off boost about 4200 using a mbc and im going to shim up the gov more......

Thats it so far...

Welcome along buddy told you this forum is better than the other one haha

[Poodle]

Looks like you've put as lot of time into this, fair play. Where are you based?

[Matt]

Looks good, not keen on the wheels though. Green bonnet is pretty win

[Tyronnster]

Excellent build an I can't even do a Lucas to Bosch lol

[Arron]

Sweet as. I'd put a black bonnet back on and fit a smoothed grill.. and morrettes..

[WiNgNuTz]

Looks nice, the green bonnet weirdly kinda works! for a minute i thought you were running a T25 on a Lucas pump, as there was no mention of the conversion, but noticed the Bosch pump in the later pics.

Keep up the good work pal!

[Alee83]

Green bonnet works for me too... Doing other little touches might be good, like brake callipers green... Stuff like that!

Is a great build though mate, keep it up!

[Olly_p]

Wheels I'm not sure what to get next really........just after more boost and top end power as it tails off.......would love to see it on the rr
As for the green bonnet I had that done as I hit someone up the ass....and o thought why not........

Brakes well I would like the 302mms but we shall see

Nice work mate, nothing like a black ph1!

I know what you mean about the boost on a T25, mine drops fairly quickly after 4200rpm with my gov shimmed solid and standard lda pin

[sam]

Speak to Chris dude I think he might be after a couple of sets of 302's we'll be out tonight if your not doing anything
