1.4TSI Forge Twintake

[Damoegan]

Taken from ukmkivs and I thought youi guys would be interested ...

Just a small update!

Twin intake FORGE

Build thread

 

[splinter26]

That build thread is very interesting! I don't have a clue how i would ever fit that twintake under my bonnet

 

[m0rk]

I do like the look of that kit - very nice looking.... marked up for on the list

 

[jc_boc]

Isn't that the guy that's doing like the 500bhp project on his tsi?

 

[splinter26]

Sure is lol interested to see how it goes!

Yeah I like the look of the twintake.. Tho under the hood of the boc/cupra is tight, I wonder if the guys at forge tried fitting/ measuring it up on the beeza? I'd b tempted by this if it did fit... 500bhp thats a savage amount of power in such a small car.. Would b like strapping a saturn 5 rocket to the roof!

 

[splinter26]

I imagine you'd have to have the battery moved to the boot if it wasnt already. Even then it would be a tight fit!

Unlikely that a twintake will fit....

That's the closest you'll get I think

Not the clearest photo, but I can't see where else it could run

 

[splinter26]

Have them sticking out through a hole on top of the bonnet?

Clatter rattle rattle BOOM! probably, as the 500 galloping ponies blow the con rods and pistons into another universe.

More like lag lag lag lag lag lag lag whoosh boom

 

[vRSy]

if you could move the battery to the rear of the engine bay it would fit i reckon. be expensive though

I think he's fitting a new charger to deal with the bottom end lag. BUT... 500BHP seems a crazy figure to aim for!

 

[jc_boc]

He had all the internals custom mate from forged steel Ibelieve or something like that. They will hold with no issues.

More info from the thread...

He had 'photoshoped' how the intake will fit...

Now this pic is from the web! Its a tsi engine but NOT twincharge and is on a scirocco! Before i started the big Build i worked a bit with this pic on photoshop to put some of my ideas on paper! There are a lot of mistakes so please dont laugh!

1. Twitake induction (what it looks like on the car)

2. Where am planning to place the turbo BUT on the pic i kind of made a mistake and i put the turbo the wrong way! It should be 180 degrees other side!

3 Its a 3'' custom pipe

4 I did a shoot job on Photoshop so i just cover it up with the same cover 3 times! NO comment!

Note there where the turbo ends there will be 3'' Downpipe

custom pic

Nice engine bay p'shoped or not!

 

[viktor]

wow! I love these engine bay

cheers

 

[TSI BOY]

So if you had a my 11 with battery I'n boot would this be straight swap??

 

[Tilley1]

That is a fancy bit of kit!

 

[splinter26]

TSI Boy: I very much doubt it. The constraints of the engine bay would still cause some problems no doubt. However i'm sure with custom tubing you could fit it!
