Nialls supercharged GTi6 - project tidy up

[Ben]

I'm sure you'll be pleased you kept it once you've got the charger on and running! I take it your buying everything seperately rather than going for the lynx kit that everyone seems to have? Are you using the same charger that they use in the kit or have you opted for something different?

Hmm, this project is kind of sucky...sry Anyone can bolt on a pre-made supercharger kit, TBH.

Are you f*cking blind? This isn't a lynx kit....

[ginge191]

Tries to dig at Niall on his own project, epic fail. What a douche!

[Piggy]

dumbass strikes again.

and before nial gets a chance to have a dig back puggy;

anyone can bolt on a gt2052 on a xud....oh wait, anyone but puggy

[Mrs puglove]

LOL.Wonder how long this charger is going to take.........

The charger i am using is a Eaton M42. Its a different type of charger from the Rotrex ones. The 'roots' style charger like the eatons is generally less efficient and noiser and creates more heat than a Rotrex style however the Roots ones are much more fit and forget. No oil changes (a litre of Rotrex oil is over £100!) and no need for external oil supply. Also, Eatons are much cheaper.

Clearly if you had any sort of intelligence Yashar, you would understand that this is exactly the opposite of a pre made kit.

LOL.Wonder how long this charger is going to take.........

It will be done by February. It has to be as thats when its being mapped!

[Ben]

Look forward to following the project. I've only ever seen people use the bolt on kits, so this will be much more interesting!

[Niall]

Right done some work on my spare engine today. Went to pick up my bargain engine stand from a really nice bloke on the 205 forum who also had a beautiful 205 with a gti6 lump in.

   

   

   

Bores are in a surprisingly good condition considering the engine has done 102k. The top end had recently had a rebuild i think but after taking it apart, the bottom end hasn't been touched. The engine was a snapper however it snapped at idle and the only damage to the bottom end is a mark on one piston in the carbon on top of the piston lol.
Tomorrows job is to clean up the pistons, remove the old rings and start giving the block a good clean ready for tarting up.

Oh and as promised, pics

   

New rad, R26 IC and Oil cooler

   

Nice new Omex 600

   

Refurbished head.

Still deciding on a colour scheme for the engine bay but i have a feeling it will include candy purple lol.

[cully]

ooow so how are you going to calculate your compression ratio that your going to run and how are you going to adjust it to what you require

[Dum-Dum]

LOL.Wonder how long this charger is going to take.........

It will be done by February. It has to be as thats when its being mapped!

LOL yeah February I'm sure but February what year, 2016?

[Niall]

ooow so how are you going to calculate your compression ratio that your going to run and how are you going to adjust it to what you require

Standard compression. These engines are good up until 250-260hp before anything like that needs changing.

2014 bastard! lol

2014 bastard! lol

I'll believe that when I see it

On the up side even if it is 2020 before its done itll still be done before Pugloves

so you wont be running no more than 5-7 PSI?

[Niall]

Correct
If i end up lowering compression later on for more boost, it will be with proper pistons and rods.

Where's the fuck you smiley when you need it

[Grant]

[puglove]

Thank you grant!!!


Chris please refer to grants post

Thank you for your cooperation

[td_dan]

This looks interesting cant wait to see it come together, was that the stand advetised for £20?

[Piggy]

that R26 IC looks exactly what I was after when looking for one...
you hoping to go up and over with the pipework?

[Niall]

Not sure tbh. The right hand outlet goes straight back so should go past the rad nicely. Haven't decided what to do about the other side yet lol.

Yeah dan it was

[Piggy]

Yeah I was thinking that...gets rid of extra needed 90degree bends etc.

[Poodle]

The only way to do the other side is over the top of the rad and under the slam panel, unless you're going to start mucking about with a different size rad or hacking up your light cluster.

[Niall]

Just a sign of things (or should i say colours) to come...

   

   

   

[adamm306]

love candy purple will be keeping an eye on this

[Tom]

Yesyesyesyesyesyes! Such epicness, looking forward to every update!

[Niall]

Lol need to paint a few other bits that colour then just tidy everything up in general. Not going to OTT as it will just get dirty again

Also, new oil cooler arrived today and map sensor. Pissed off about the map sensor as i bought one that was advertised as genuine magneti marelli (cheap ones dont last 5 minutes) and it turns up labeled and bagged in a webcon bag.

[sam]

the purple reminds me of a cadburys dairy milk bar, so whos did purple on china first you or chris?

[Chris]

Me you fag. Wheels have been on a week or two now.

[sam]
