Supercharged Mk2 Ibiza - pictures from holland 14/7/09

[Chrisdaman]

the pulley was only £55 so not that bad, but a JCW M45 charger is £900 from BMW, and they're rare as foook on ebay

yeh i got a new DSLR for Springfest

 

[Chrisdaman]

a couple of parts updates

new 19% smaller pulley, should make a big difference

Eaton Inlet (from BMW) that will be adapted:

and my special little piece, got this done over the weekend

the filler cap looks mint

 

[sjc59]

It will be great to see this all together at long last, the work on the filler cap looks very well done although its not to my taste.

 

[Chrisdaman]

was a busy boy yesterday, fitted my new head unit, petrol cap, new front discs and pads (brembo / ferodo) and rear wheels

BUT

i've accidentally found how i want it to look, BEST STANCE EVER

Think my brakes needed doing

and the money shot:

And some engine bay pics:

 

[wilz]

Very nice been reading this thread for a while,

could be done with a good clean though that tyres looks like it shall be scraping galore.lol.

Also looks a very complicated engine bay

 

[Chrisdaman]

i'm going to spend a whole day cleaning it when i get it

yeh re: the tyres i'm going to be rolling my arches tomorow (DIY FTW)

 

[alex_shepz]

Sooo is it possible you could show me the s'charger mounts please? Quite stuck on how 2 mount mine lol cheerz

 

[Chrisdaman]

afraid i cant lol, cos that's nandos job

take off the Air con pump, and then mount the charger round there somewhere

 

[alex_shepz]

Lol ok mate, fair play, the s'charger is alot bigger than i 1st thought, shud have the outlet plate made up either 2morrow or friday, inlet looks like a rite nightmare 2 do lol

 

[Chrisdaman]

the inlet is a bastid, there was a guy on ebay that used to sell M45 inlet adaptors (the oval shape to 3" round) and they werent that expensive, should have bought one then, cos the inlet is a problem

 

[alex_shepz]

Just wonderin weva its worth buyin a mini induction kit 4 it, only want da oval bit tho lol

 

[Chrisdaman]

yeh i bought the BMW part for the M45, think it's got sod all use tho lol

 

[alex_shepz]

Another thing chris wot are you doin about pistons n rods? this is really doin my nut lol

 

[Chrisdaman]

double head gaskets are the way forward lol until i can afford some low comp pistons and rods.

I bought 2 G60 Head Gaskets (bout £40 each from GSF), they're metal. You could alternatively get a head gasket for the ABF and use that as a template to get a double thickness plate made out of one piece?

someone at Inters was selling compression plates, that took the original CR, and lowered it enough for forced induction. Cant remember who though

 

[alex_shepz]

Thats alrite 4 you lol ur using the 1.8 n im using the 2.0, cant really get away with alot lol annoyin!

 

[Chrisdaman]

nando will be using double head gaskets on his ABF

 

[OllieL]

So when are you up and running then fella?

[Chrisdaman]
