RobDon's Leon -

Yeah, although no fault codes at all it was sending my boost crazy, overboosting to 1.8 BAR! Might try the Bailey DV26 instead.

Just had a look through all your pics mate. How many dv's have you had? I must of counted 4 or 5

And that does not include the ones from the beginning.

Just want to enjoy driving it! Although still to fit is the oil cooler and Walbro fuel pump, will do them sometime quite soon, but in no hurry!

[wild willy]

Nice one Rob, pleased for you mate.

Once she's run in we need some logs to mull over.
How low are your skirts off the floor Rob as i need to see whether your new car jack will be low enough for my car.

 

[RobDon]

Not sure what you mean? My new jack only just gets under my car and the saddle height is 80mm.

Rob, glad you're satisfied with the manifold. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Liran.

 

[RobDon]

Yes, very happy with it, thanks!

 

[Ianb]

Good that it's up and running again better than before.

Perhaps you can get to the UKMKIV v Seatcupra.net RR at Awesome in November once it fully settled and mapped. I think the day will heavily feature B/T cars although I don't think there are that many Golf's converted to my knowledge.

 

[RobDon]

Dunno m8, Awesome is kinda far away for me.

Got some new pics, of the density line mounts, manifold and water swirl pot.

I painted the mounts before fitting, 2 coats etch primer then 2 coats metallic silver. They are fantastic mounts, engine and tranny feel taught and smooth without any harsh vibrations. I went with street density engine and tranny, plus track density dogbone mounts.

I fitted a water swirl pot from an Escort/Fiesta RS turbo to the top radiator hose when the system was empty, should be doing a good job of removing air from the cooling system, I removed the 4-way plastic union and fitted the swirl pot instead, sprayed it satin black before fitting.

New TIG-ART manifold is turning some pretty shades of gold and purple already!

Next job is the oil cooler but will be having a break for a while before I do that.

That manifold looks almost identical to mine

What paint did you use rob? Looks great, just like i want some of my parts to turn out like.

 

[RobDon]

Plastikote metallic silver and Wurth acid etch primer, 2 coats of each. Very easy paint to use, goes on well and dries quick. I saw it on a Ford Escort Cosworth rebuild thread and the guy used it on his gearbox etc. and it looked great.

Got my USRT Walbro pump installed today, pretty easy with the wiring harness, the hardest part was hooking up the yellow wire to fuse #28, which powers the OE pump relay. Now it's all installed you can hear the Walbro priming up when you open the drivers door, same as the OE pump!

Next job is the Mocal oil cooler.

I look fwd to the pics on the mocal....i.e.piping and mounting

 

[HTC]

Rob, I take it you used a 30amp relay to power the new pump?

 

[RobDon]

I bought a full wiring harness along with the pump, both from USRT, so it was nearly plug and play.
