Top marks for the welding & fabrication.
How does it go? well collected it this morning and being as all 6 gears spin up in todays damp conditions, its difficult to say. :p :D other than its "Mad as a Badger"
Forge supplied products include:-
Oil Catch tank with integral drain
Forge Actuator
Forge DV007P plumbed in cold side
Forge custom water tank, boot mounted

very nice bill , used to be an ibiza!!!
did you ever get the cams done , results??
ibizacupra
22-12-2006, 18:38
nope cams I'll get fitted after this mani has been dyno'd as step 3 of 3
all things being equal and what the US guys seem to get from R32 sized t'bodies on their 350whp cars is gain an additional 18-38whp depending on who's claims you read.
Mine was 485bhp @ fly previously so this 007 mani *should* with a bit of luck push me to break the 500bhp figure which would be a nice milestone to see. (vain I know but f*ck it :D )
cams are next so 500bhp should be very achievable.

(vain I know but f*ck it :D )
how does 500bhp fit into the leaderboard of 1.8T power outputs , now that we're willy wangling [B)]
Spinning in all gears? Surely something with less power and more traction would be a lot quicker?
Some nice work tho. :D

yep it would, which is where the Apexi comes in.
grip on 10psi of boost, none at 28psi boost, setpoint max will be 32psi max boost when I programme up the Apexi on its high setting.
controller off gives me 10-14psi boost on on low setting gives me 22psi boost and high I want 32psi boost
obviously in the cold wet damp conditions on the M5 on my way home from Forge, the high setting was higher than traction, but I was playing to see if I could "feel" any difference from the new mani and huge t'body. Answer is no idea, as wheelspin ensued which ever gear I tried it in.

I donated my willy to medical science a few years ago. (they wanted a 3 yr olds willy and mine matched the spec :hide: )
Have to make do with big turbo's now & high power motoring.

lmfao.
i have a willy like a new born baby
hold it in both hands and support its head :D
It would be rude not to.....:D
An elephant was strolling through the jungle one day when he heard shouting. He went to the edge of a deep hole in the road and looked down it. There, he saw Bill Brockbank.
Swiftly, the elephant straddled the hole and lowered his willy into it. Bill climbed up the elephant's willy and got out.
Years later, Bill Brockbank was walking along a road when he heard this trumpeting sound. He went to a hole in the road to investigate and there, deep down was the same elephant.
Bill straddled...
Bill went away and came back a few minutes later with a Yellow Ibiza and a long rope. He attached the rope to the rear of the 'ickle beezer and threw the other end to the elephant. Climbing into his car, he miraculously ;) gained traction and pulled the elephant out.
Moral of the story......
a) You don't need a big willy when you have a c500bhp yellow ibiza
b) potholes are getting f**king huge
c) If you believe Bill could get traction under any circumstance then you're very gullible.;)
PS who made the intake manifold Bill?
:lol: Weird but impressive imagination Dave.
Bill - it all looks really really good - top quality stuff, hopefully put an end to your blow off problems. Is the plenum on the mani cast? The mounting for the TB is "slick"
4WD conversion next on the agenda then?

It was on a GB over on elitedubs>> http://www.elitedubs.com/index.php/topic,1884.0.html
Addo (formerly on here) ordered a small port, std t'body version... which to be honest I cant see the point with. Its aimed at BT cars running 350whp and some gains reported from this one and APR's similar big throttled mani vary between 18whp and 37whp.

The plenum's the wrong way round in that pic?
top stuff, water tank in the boot for the washer jets
The guy that did them did them to order LH & RH and TB size - the other thread Bill mentioned said that just happened to be the first one he did...
I don't quite get that if the plenum is cast, why make up the end "dome" piece in sections :confused: snd the inside of that plenum doesn't look cast, it looks formed.
Hey Ho - if it allows Bill to run a big cahuna TB and if holds the air in, it doesn't matter how it's made...
Wont the trumpets disturb the airflow and create turbulance?

radius airhorns will assist flow into the runners, being both central and elevated off the base of the plenum.
think of the plenum as a pressurised tank under boost.

From the inside it looks like the 2 halves of the plenum are cast and welded together. Linished and polished out on the outside face.
The guy deffo cast them on mine, but I believe the original was rolled.... but was'nt an ecconomical way to make the qty he did on the GB
Ah, makes sense.
Have you added extra bracing plates on the dp since you posted those other pics?

Nope, DP is'nt braced but is very light. exhaust front end is support however so waggly exhaust to DP flexi is'nt an issue.
Top of DP to flange is reinforced in that area as the metalwork is thin gauge tubing.
turbo is support on top mount cradle/rose joint affair, so weight is support whilst still allowing things to expand and move about.

It's that bit I could see

any space for a boost tank ? a-la scooby wrc cars, instead of bleeding off boost to atmos, store in tank and reintroduce when 'off boost'........
think the wrc boys were limited to the size of the accumulatrs they were using
nice work as always mr B

latest update:
changed actuator spring for a higher poundage one so i could drop duty cycle on control valve (apexi avc-r)
sorted.. now controls where I want it - but
now it seems i have run out of fueling for the thing. 620cc injectors not up to it. leans out like a son of a.... over 1.6bar boost (2.2 bar is the high setpoint, lambda drops down 1, 0.95.
Shame as I was hoping to dyno it tomorrow but not worth risking it until I get fuel into it.
Deffo flows more than my previous dual plenum thing judging by the fueling going from 0.75 before to 0.95/1.00 now
they were too busy when i asked them ,lol!
Looks good bill suprising what it seems to do,glad i'm done with modifying now cause i'd be after one.
my bible of turbo tuning says 620cc/min injectors are good for 443hp on a 4-pot turbo engine at 100% duty cycle........better check the pump and lines are up to it as well as the injectors ;)

guess it depends if he is running fuel pressure that was the 'std' for the bosch figs - std is normally 2.5 or 2.7 bar but ok to 4 bar
potential flow = normal flow x sq. root [uprated pressure / std pressure]
not a good idea to run past 80% duty cycle though or even 60% is running sequential injection so assuming Mr B's jbs RR figs are accurate, he must be running fp higher than what the injectors are standardly rated for
He runs a 4bar so the 630cc should be pumping out 715cc IIRC that i calualated from a previous thread.
What is an accurate bsfc for a car like bills?

the injector specs i have are not really known.. 620cc is what jabba told me when they fitted em >year ago. whether that was @ 3 bar or 4bar fpr I dont know.
the new genesis ones are 750cc rated at 3bar fpr, and will likely run at 4bar
will have to see

for gt35 i would also consider valve springs as well as the valves themselves... as you will want to rev the motor to get the airflowing going from a 1.8T
also std smallport and the flow from the gt35.... :think:
think personally this may end up a choke point for ultimate bhp, likewise airflows thru a log type manifold aint going to help overall power goals.
what about 8 injectors?
mind you that'd need a new manifold again.... and unlikely something the ECU could drive (too much resistance) so would have to be a new ECU.
you are actually insane bill :p: looking great, will have to come see you race next year sometime!

Bill, the boot in the tank for Aquamist? Did you go for a secondary pump to prime the system or does everything seem fine so far? Is a 75mm TB needed for circa 350~400 or not?
Going to have to start spending my big turbo money some time soon, just holding out to see results of stuff so for the moment the rest of the car's getting done.
What size of boost pipework do you have post turbo Bill?
e.g for instance if you had 2 1/4" boost pipes going into a 3" (75mm) r32 tb will the restriction not be in the pipes? Therefore no matter how big the tb is the restriction will always be in the pipe?
Or does it not work like that? :confused:

I think the t'body is going to give gains on motors pushing 400+bhp yes.
I run largeport, so smallport vs large t'body... hmmm.. not so sure on their cutoff.
just think on what cars have larger t'bodies and their std power outputs as a guide.

size will matter of course... and you wont find a turbo outlet pipe of 75mm on anyones 1.8T... so its always going to start off smaller. Is pressurised so has force to push thru the pipework. If the velocities and bends dont contribute to too much loss then its not likely to be a restriction.
my pipework is 63mm OD currently, std t'body is 59mm.
The t'body allows the plenum to fill. my previous mani was dual plenum remember so the slot fill was sized for 59mm t'body and high 300bhp power level. high 400bhp airflow is more than this can flow without losses (pressure loss), as shown by the increase in airflow from this new mani/t'body combined.

I'm considering a r32 tb for my dahlback mani set up and i think it would be quite good. A tapered adapter plate to suite the r32 tb would be ideal and i believe that there would be minimal loss from the dahlback due to the velocity cone.
This would probably be the optimised setup for small port.
The only restriction would be the std pipe work which could be enlarged.
views???
ibizacupra
19-01-2007, 21:11
I dont think you will get the gains you hope for... and th reason why is the slot in the dahlback is sized for the stock t'body cross sectional area.. so even distribution vs pressure drop/loss
75mm throttle body funneling down will just increase the pressure drop I think from outer plenum to inner.. so flow gains, which is the point of R32 throttle body are'nt going to be realised.
Same reasoning my new mani flows so much more than the dual plenum did... which in turn was modelled on internal geometry on the Dahlback I previously had.

I was thinking previously that the slot would not be an issue but you maybe right. From what i have read the emphasis on the db mani is equal filling not all out power. Ideally i would like to enlarge the slot but that would be very hard.
I do like how your mani just goes into one big big plenum. However i'm not to sure about the equal filling. It would be good to see afr reading on all cylinders for the different manis but doubt that will ever happen..

You need to think about how much airflow can pass thru a slot of (x) dimension. My fab'd dual plenum runs same dims as Dahlback (blatently copied) but this is sized for 59mm t'body cross sectional area.
Equal filling is important, but the factory single plenum does'nt usually cause too much varience on logging CF's across cylinders. If you want more power and high power you need flow, and thru too small a slot this will hamper outright flow, hence power.
There's a good thread over on vortex on a whole bunch of manifold which are going to be flow benched to compare airflows between them. includes 007 mani like mine, dahlback, apr, ABD, stock and a few others
I think they will be able to compare cylinder filling potential from the runners from the flow bench tests.
Couple of weeks the results should be in.

assorted gears, but main difference in speed is this was on my race wheels/tyres. 17" 225-45-17 not the 215-40-16's previous.
Traction is an issue Houston! lol :hide:
ibizacupra
25-01-2007, 22:29
reality being more power than grip (no sh1t shrlock I hear you say), BUt this means I can dial it back to the high 400bhp level dropping boost and making an easier life on the motor whilst achieving the same max power vs traction... which was roughly where I was @ 485bhp before.
Cams next :D
hehehehehe
I can really see you dialling it back tho lol
Is it possible to spin the wheels for all of a race?
Combe regulations allow a 2nd engine? :idea:
traction sorted but x2 more things to break!
So you finally broke the 500 barrier Bill - 517bhp in a FWD Ibiza ... you nutter!!!

motors an October 2005 build so nothing new there. Its had new valve springs as I broke one when a gear cable broke last season, and I buzzed the motor on engaging the wrong gear. That aside, started over middle of last year to reengineer the turbo setup. New manifold, new turbo, new DP, some intake mods & remap.
£1600 mani and DP
£1200 turbo
£400 New mani and R32 t'body
and some bits n bobs I made to suit. ;)
I could sell my previous JS stuff, and have done on a few items to offset the cost.
If starting from here, then the price to do mine again is'nt that much different to any one else's BT offering, just more potent :D
To build my engine spec again would'nt cost me what it actually cost me, but I had been shopping for my bits for 2 years before the build started, so its all been spread over a few years... mounting up.

Am I remembering correctly that you're doing a similar build for a roadgoing customer of yours Bill?

I wanna BT my S3, but as I'm in the process off moving house I doubt I'll be able to soon. Trying to do the brakes and suspension first to keep the cost down when I do do it. Where abouts are you based Bill, for future reference ;)

Had some disruption currently on the premesis front which has set me back. workshop & m/c shop got sold out from under me which has cocked me up right royally at the mo.

Steve, would you not be better off going for a large port with the Garrett?
I understand that they start to become restrictive at over 400hp.

yes Dan Kinnerley & JBS are the 2 preferred vendors who I trust implicitly to do the work properly.
Utmost respect for both in this respect.
