Matts 106 GTi Turbo.

[Matt-Rallye]

of course this is ok providing it doesnt have a jp4 head on a j4 bottom end, but it will be stampped on the head. Also for once someone has fitted stef approved pistons unlike the chocolate crap that is normally sold.

Edit: bkr6ez are standard j4 plugs! :/

OK the plugs i have been recommended are: ILFR7H plugs from an evo? what plugs do you and Niall run if you don't mind me asking please dude?

[Stef205]

who told you to use those?

we both uuse ngk 3330's bcr7es and as i said sandy uses these and the bcpr8es in his engines

[Matt-Rallye]

That was Matt from pug1off that recommended those plugs but they look too long for me :/

[Stef205]

those plugs he recommend are the correct size and fittment BUT there iridium which im not a fan off. Personally id try find a non iridium plug.

[fatlapit]

I us bcr8es

[Stef205]

As stated above they are to short!

[Matt-Rallye]

No it has transpired I am actually on a J4 head not a Jp4

[Stef205]

in that case if your on a j4 head then try the 7's for now

[Niall]

Have to say I've just gone to 7s from 8s and driven the car to Gloucester. It's much happier On the 7s

[Piggy]

Your plans for the looks of the car going to change much?

[Pugmarshall]

Saw this on Facebook, glad to see at least one of the previous owners did a proper job of it. Any plans for a more suitable exhaust?

Thanks Stef i shall get some ordered

Would like it to look pretty much as it does but with white compomotive MO5's and black morette headlights

Im thinking of fitting a saxo scorpion pipe as mongoose only make twin pipes for the 106

[RetroPug]

Hmm. At £150 new it might be worth buying a Y-piece and a tailpipe of your choice for £20 and welding them on the end? Colossal PITA though.

I also dislike twin tail-pipes on small-displacement cars.

[bashbarnard]

Erghhh twin pipes are horrible. They should be reserved for V arrangement engines. Lol

[Stef205]

exhaust- get one made to suit, id personally say a pugsport wont be upto the job, somewhere around 2 1/4-1/2 but its more about flow than diameter. Exhaust uk do some reasonable boxes thats what i used on mine.

[RetroPug]

With decent parts and workmanship with no mates rates you'd struggle to get a good exhaust for £150 surely?

[Poodle]

Tbh you'd struggle to get decent parts for that, let alone the rest. I feel like i've missed half the conversation with this exhaust, where has the £150 for an exhaust come from?

[Stef205]

I built my monstrosity of a system for that I'm sure Matt knows someone who can weld it all together

[Poodle]

Ah I see, fair one.

Is this a load quicker then a '6?

[bashbarnard]

Is this a load quicker then a '6?

Careful

[Midnightclub]

Is this a load quicker then a '6?

Lighter, more powerful (when it's running properly, obviously). Why wouldn't it be quicker?

[Matt-Rallye]

Is this a load quicker then a '6?

Trolling level: amateur.

Currently, not quicker.
Soon: a f*ck load quicker and happy to prove it

[Stef205]

Do you plan to willy wave with rr figures?

[Matt-Rallye]

With regards too the exhaust problem, a Pugsport is no good at all that much is definite.

Ideally needs a 2.25" downpipe back system but the downpipe I have is only 2" so perhaps a new downpipe is required if space allows.


After taking the sump off and inspecting the internals I have decided to fork out for some new wossner forged H beam rods as the current setup is using machined & shot peened standard rods which aren't quite too my liking.

Luckily it's in the hands of Russ Tyler now of Tyler Race Engines round the corner from my unit so the crank will be heat treated aswell as refitted using ACL race bearing shells and ARP studs.

Do you plan to willy wave with rr figures?

Was more thinking of defeating a few on track to establish a status but it will need to be mapped & dyno'd at some point

[Stef205]

Take a spare box with ya won't you

[silverzx]

Is this much quicker then a DTurbo (say a generic 9mm/TD04 variant)?

[bashbarnard]

No

[Matt-Rallye]

Mmmmm 'Internal pics'
