GT2052s Dturbo

[Ricky]

Forgot I actually had a thread on here, so first update in about 8 months...

It's changed a bit so I will just summarize to get up to speed.

It looks like this:


It sounds like this:



And this is the spec:
DHX engine
Gov modded Bosch
Garrett GT2052s, custom downpipe with 3" elbow. TD04 actuator. Running 20psi.
CG un sprung 4 paddle clutch
HDI rear beam with hybrid ARB
GTI dampers all round with Spax 40mm springs
GTI brakes
16" SP alloys, currently in white, wrapped in Hankook S1 Evo tyres
Phase 3 bumpers, skirts and boot, with crystals
OMP WRC steering wheel
selection of gauges, typical DT
Phase 1 half leather GTI seats
Compbrake short shifter thing, I don't like it..

Probably a load more things I have forgotten, but that's most of it I think!

Some random pictures of it/it's progress..

DHX engine


CG paddle clutch


Getting the bay cleaned up and painted for the new engine


3 of 4 gauges. Oil pressure, oil temp and EGT


Turbo with downpipe mock up


Boost controller


Turbo on the car, also showing my exhaust leak


Future plans
The handling is not right, I think new P bushes and adjustable drop links are needed. Also needs new dampers.
Probably water injection, or FMIC. Rather have injection and keep the TMIC
Wheels need refurbing and painting silver
Needs a good clean up, I have waxoyled half of the underside, got bored doing it so need to finish it off!
Wire in oil gauges
Fit an air filter!


Think that sums up an 8 month update
