Nialls supercharged GTi6 - project tidy up

[Grant]

You will also learn 100 times more shit doing it yourself...you learn nothing bolting stuff on except how to work a spanner, and you cant learn that properly either as everything just bolts together easily, no "bending this" "semi crossing that" "tweaking with a drill twisting around that" lol.

Also this will sound 100 times better than a centrifugal SC, whine ftw, i miss my dervs charger soooo bad!! You will never drive past a single person again taht dosnt turn there head and think either "WTF is in that car ", or more likely due to most peoples dumbness, "WTF is wrong with that car!!!!"

And Niall was getting all funny about me elongating holes, and threading things through whatsits....


I must say, i cannot wait to hear this screaming away when it's built up

[Niall]

Thanks Darren. I'm glad I've done it tbh. The amount I've spent now, I could of just got a second hand lynx kit but I've taught my self a lot this way and have really enjoyed doing it all.
Yeah the whine is going to be far from subtle and I'm expecting loads of "your aux belt is far too right comments" lol but they do sound good hammering it around to the limiter.

Now my biggest worry is seeing how well the belt lasts and that will be the test to see how accurate we have got the bracket lol

You don't need a SC for that, just a NAD like mine - with air chuffing past the inlet valve and a whiney tensioner.

[Niall]

Sorry for not reading the whole thing bit what are you doing regarding recirc valve/dump valve? Off the charger that is

Just going to fit a recirc valve into where the recirc was on the charger. Got one from a Scooby but not sure if it will flow enough air so may have to change that once it's running.

[Craigus]

This has come along pretty quick, looks good!

Loving the parts photos, the Bilstein set up is excellent, always getting compliments on mine about how nice the ride is.

[Ben]

Are you having to get a belt specially made or have you managed to position the charger so that you can use a belt that already exists?

[Niall]

Nah there are belts out there in virtually every imaginable length so ill measure it up tomorrow and get one ordered.

[darrenjlobb]

just use an old belt, cut in two (needs to be to long) wrap it around verlap, mark the overlap, lay it flat and measure it Thats how i always did mine, works a treat and is 100% accurate win win

then just 6pkxxxx where xxxx s the lenth in mm's

[Niall]

Charger bracket went off to Dan yesterday (On here selling harness bars) for properly welding. He's sent me a few pics today and its ready to pick up tomorrow meaning i can get it painted up at the weekend, bolted up, belt measured up then get all the small annoying little bits on!

   

   

[Grant]

That looks pukka.

Top job as always Dan

I bloody hope so! Ive taken the first week in Feb off work and so kindly has Grant so the engine will be going in then (if not before) and i hope to get it booked in for mapping on the Friday so then I've got a few months to run it in and get rid of any little niggling problems.

Is it bad I've already been looking at bigger chargers? lol

[Dum-Dum]

LOL I was looking at M90s and M112s on ebay just the other night thinking that they'd make some properly epic boost on a 2.1XUD

[Craigus]
