Makes sence i guess. Just lay off the left foot braking then!

What do people do when the turbo thier cars then?

one way valves usually standard nowadays suck/blow & boring

i live in the midlands, 30 mins from brum.

i had bailey dump valve fitted (be warned its LOUD and when ever you let off throttle it 'tisssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh's' constantly). never had any braking problems. Im ditching the ABS totally anyway when back on road, going for simple old fashioned set up with one brake pipe from front to rear so i can set bias (and fit hydraulic hand brake easily), should make it fun!!!!

i'm not having a dump valve fitted, going for a nando boost return valve thingy

and my intercooler is on now, pics up later

 

[ste4232]

i was gonna fit a re-circ valve but its dumping air heated by the charger back into the system to be heated by charger again.

it is a marmite noise tho, love it or hate it having a supercharged car with a DV or BOV!

here's what happened yesterday (sunday)

Bumper off

Got the intercooler out (ebay)

then began the cutting, grinding and welding to the front panel

and this was the result of nandos, cutting and welding, it certainly aint going anyway now. We did have to trim some of the bumper (inside) and the splitter, apart from that it fits really nicely, i'm well chuffed

Finally its under way, looks really weird a mk2 with an FMIC!

Looking good though, cant wait to see the rest!

 

[Chrisdaman]

i kno3, i cant believe finally some work has been done, i'm going by the guiness saying

"all good things come to those who wait"

gotta order a few pipe sections now, and get the inlet manifold sorted out, then it'll be finished mucho quicker

 

[m0rk]

make sure you put a flap under the FMIC to force air up the radiator - else come the summer you'll be overheating

Thats a novel way of mounting the Balast packs

got any pics of the panel with the cooler mounted sans bumper? ?

 

[Chrisdaman]

i'll get one when i take the bumper off next, its a pain in the arse to take it off and put back on again

basically on the front panel, the main bar across, he's welded into the back of that

 

[Roelích]

Mint

I'm so excited.

 

[ste4232]

looks ACE! as mine has no IC at all i think one similar will be on my to buy list!

What cooler you used and what size? Im using 3" (76mm) pipes round my bay which would make fitting cooler fun!

 

[Chrisdaman]

the coolers pipe ares 56mm (2 1/4") and it's a medium intercooler from universal intercoolers. Amazing quality and only £125 *shameless plug over lol*

Chris, you should be banned from posting in this thread unless you have new pics to offer or you're answering questions.

I keep getting overexcited at the prospect of updates

 

[Juclassic]

That looks amazing... looks so weird with the IC. Can't wait 'til this is finished, i'm almost inspired!!

 

[Chrisdaman]

cheers guys

kai - i've gotta answer the questions that people ask lol
