mk1 caddy 24v turbo 4wd project ,stress...56k warning

if its a 02m 6speed they hold well , if stock , probley be upgraded ,,
ps was a ms fault regards ecu ben , loseing sycro ,(reason 2) needed a u7 fitting
not over happy but fits and works ,just wish i had more room to make a clyinder type

 

Id personally just redo where the tb meets the intake manifold. Id imagine you will find that flows less than stock with it going into that sharp wall.

MS will be worth it once its all done, will this be making inters 2011 for the strip?

 

Young lad called Ben aka stormboy on vagingit think the gearbox on his was updraded as it was the first thing to go bang its genuine 550 bhp mapped by dave walker at emerald

 

ill be altering it more , i only had 2 hours free , as its in daily use

, ill add a bulge were the tb meets hard to see but its angled to the rear , been for a run seems ok

 

I hope to see it in the 10s at inters

You managed to take this to the pod yet ?

 

i can dream , not yet , i keep wanting to dyno it , when im happy with it

 

see as whethers a bit crap thought id rip side pipe off and make a downpipe

need need to make a straight bit and a buffle box for the rear (when i find a bit of space

 

You should make a few mk2 R32 conversion downpipes

 

i would if i had a mk2 with a r32 fitted.........

 

deceided why have one side pipe , i thought why not invent 2 chuffs , few pics of bits ive done so far ,
3inch v band buzzed on inside/outside



downpipe finaly done ,think my welding coming on too:rolleyes:

then got grinder out and choped pipe to make a v pipe for the twin pipes

 

downpipe and exit pipes sorted next , make some side pipes

 

Shame it's going to be under the car, that looks great...

 

Would you mind my asking where you buy the stainless tubing from?

Nice fabrication (again) btw!

 

do u fill the back of the joints with argon backing on s/s i used to weld aircraft bits this is how u get a nice clean penetraion matey,and welds r clean and strong,all looks good matey

 

skip i tuck the lot

 

tbh no i didnt , hernce i assume thats why the welds dont shine, but are welded in and out ,
buggar all done today as my friend cracked is alloy and were too lumps missing so decided to tig it up



wish id takernpics before as that section was bent and broke in 2 lumps

 

Good job! welding wheel alloy can be a nightmare!

 

thanks bundles yearh ok just need to use 5percent based alloy silcone filer rods and white tip tungstuns works a treat ,,, little fed up some tubes arrived and its the wrong size ,,, grrr

 

I'm another individual that had just read this whole thread and cannot believe everything that has happened, you have amazing fabrication skills and you can see you commitment to the car but the ups and downs have been scandalous.

Good luck with the future nut and hope to meet you crazy ass one day

 

cheers lol i just try
