New R32 T'body and intake mani on badger wagen

MANY MANY thanks go to FORGE MOTORSPORT for their great assistance & continued 2007 support and in facilitating the installation of my new 007 intake manifold, which features R32 throttle body (75mm vs 59mm of std)

New larger regulation size oil catch tank (with drain), new SILICON HOSE supplied hoses









Top marks for the welding & fabrication.





330mm Brakes now too up front stop tastic!



How does it go? well collected it this morning and being as all 6 gears spin up in todays damp conditions, its difficult to say. other than its "Mad as a Badger"

Forge supplied products include:-
Oil Catch tank with integral drain
Forge Actuator
Forge DV007P plumbed in cold side
Forge custom water tank, boot mounted
Forge Silicon hoses

Thanks guys.... very much appreciated.

 

Nice one Bill, can't wait to see it in action in 2007.

EDIT: Is it OK to have the battery & tank next to each other? or is it designed safety wise in a rear end shunt?

 

tank is for water, battery is sealed, so I cant see that there would be an issue.

 

water for what bill ? what is the thing that is mounted on your passenger wing ? (black thing)

oh car is looking good as always .

 

Ah right sorry Bill, thought it was a fuel tank .

 

did they have to remap it for the 75mm TB?

how much power is it making now?

 

water for washers & water injection.
black thing with what looks like hoover pipe is a fan unit which blows onto the turbo area to help keep things cool and circulated.

 

only collected it yesterday so not mapped, but its not noticable in driving terms its got a massive throttle body at all. throttle progression, idle etc all seems like before.

going to keep an eye on afr when I'm on the gas and EGT's when I replace my broken off thermocouple (bent it during assembly and it kinked-woops)

cant tell what its done for power, as all gears spin up in the cold damp weather currently.

No idea on power, but it was 485bhp before this and in the US people running 75mm throttles on 350whp motors claim between 18bhp & 37bhp gain. Who knows.. but I might break into 500bhp possibly..
Cams to go in next so 500bhp should be possible

 

500 bhp . time and time again i ha ve said this . "NUTTER"!

 

hehe

yep

 

& they say big bhp fwd cars wont go around corners

nice one Bill .

 

lol..
yea corners..
its not too shabby on them these days

 

update.. its run out of fueling now... 620cc injectors not enough...

more airflow me thinks which is the objective after all.
runs out of fueling from 1.6bar onwards 5Krpm onwards

 

500bhp??

You are the man!!!

 

Did you have to reinforce the downpipe, that gusset looks new.
precaution or did we miss something nasty?

 

precaution after 1st pictures done before proper install.
been fine so far

 

Dyno'd it today, remapped for its new airflow and larger injectors were req'd.



Rock and Roll

517bhp & 378lbft and I have my Special Grind cams to drop in next and remap/retest again. (then I stop)
crazy car scares the bejesus out of me still.

 

Wow nice one Bill

 

That's enough power from a 1900cc engine,surely?

Nice one, starship Badger indeed!

 

nearly gary..
once me cams are in then I will be stopping.
then turning the boost down to traction achieving level which was ~480bhp level max from last year. (hopefully give the turbo an easier life if I dont run it flat out, backing off to 1.8bar from 2.2max currently)

5th spins up today and 6th pulls like a mofo.. forget all the other gears in these salt covered frosty roads.
