Seems as though my other thread has vanished so... we reminder of my car...

20vt, forge cooler, star map. yada yada

copied from FCN...

Well its taken all this time for the project to finally begin

due to a problem with the car using coolant every other week... it was time to start spending the cash Luckily though my autocare warrenty on the car was still vaild so a week later i had : new radaitor, new waterpump and timing belt. success

BUT

still the car was using coolant... headgasket after a midnight blast home from dundee with no coolant :roll: the car ran dangerously hot. cooking the headgasket!

So the project begins 8)

so far cars sitting like this...

head off...

Also recieved my ATP high flow manifold from america today. so im happy

Super Update time

Past few months i have been collecting the bits needed for the turbo i am going to be running, Also the car has made it too this state...

Some of the parts collected to date...

Turbo from CR Turbo's

And some more bittys

While the engine was out i decided to give it a wee clean and paint

Before...

and After

Inbetween my mate Stuart fitted the new Single mass clutch and flywheel, getting rid of the original dual mass setup

After collecting a nice wee bag from the SEAT dealers it was time to start getting everything back together... so far it stands like this

Hopefully more progress to be made tomorrow

Looking good kenny,

more progress than me,

glad you found what the problem was, still remember you having that problem back in the college days.

Being in your cupra made me buy one.

Well i thought it was time for a bit of an update, currently the car is built and running but not mapped. But here are some photo's etc of the time leading up to this...


engine is now back together and turbo bolted on, here you can see the LCR intake pipe is also attached onto the turbo... found a small problem that the water pipe was crushing the intake on the bend into the turbo, a bit trimming though and that was sorted

unfortunatley i dont have many pictures of the engine going back into the car

but heres it back in

and now with the slam panel on and forge intercooler mounted up

as you can probably see the filter at this point in the build wasnt sitting in the best postion in the world, after a bit thinking it was moved along with removing the coolant bottle in favour of an in-line filler neck. No pictures of this but will get some if people want to see it.

 

[K2NY-G]

catch tank now fitted aswell

and finally lights, bumper etc back on

back on the deck

More pictures soon once i sort the camera out

 

[wilz]

Looking good kenny but whats up with the filter positoiin, you omved it there intentially?

 

[K2NY-G]

come on willie read the thread eh haha! aye was just there to start with, now got a 45* elbow with the battery moved to the boot and an in-line filler neck so the restrictions and the filter sits perfect in the space

 

[wilz]

Now that sounds better, got pic of the inline filler neck want to relocate my collant bottle as well.

looking good progress though

 

[tarzan]

ahh almost finish now thats good looks awesome when are you mapping it?

 

[tobi20v]

Hi

I like these hybrids If I didn't have an K04 i would directly go on K03 hybrid. Really fine job up to now.

Cheers Tobi
