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

new stan alone is here, this is the megasquirt ms3 ecu ill be some how useing 6x ls2 coils
hopeing to get complete vag vr6 loom out an fully instail this

 

well ive no need to change the engine but im going to see how a mk5 r32 turbo holds ,
so far stripped the lump , added a mk4 r32 forged crank to safe
headspacer,
modifyed some 530cc injectors,
made a alloy welded manifold
modifyed a mk5 fuel into a mk4 style
rewired the engine for ms3x and vvt wired up
added ls2 coils
trail started on the floor
ive got the gearbox in bits changeing ratios at mo,
then need to make a exhuast turbo manifold
then add hx40 turbo
quick pic

 

Mate, that's a lot of inlet manifolds! Blimey!

 

Theres a fast and the furious joke in there somewhere!

Good to see some more updates

 

Wat is it something like, your running that much nos your going to blow the welds on the intake,lol
but no nos just pure psi,

go on powernut crack on lad good work

p,s i need your help ive got a alloy that has made love with a kerb and is in need of urgent attention

take a look and see if you can offer any help

 

thing is u dont realise how mutch air air is compressed in a box area, hernce when it ballons up and you hear a nice ,,pop ,,, u know more modifying is needed , so 8mm alloy dosent pop just pulls ive got 6 gearboxs in bits here ,looks like a cog shop

regards wheel pal , as its bent , they usely break when trying to bend them , back , as id basicly , break the lump out and re weld it straight then regrind the back , ud , need to spray the wheel throw , yes can be sorted ,maybe cheeper finding another wheel

 

added a little leaf blower

 

new manifold arrived arrived and thought id do a trail fit ,all seems good,,,..but hit a issiuse
didnt realise these manifolds are for t25 turbos , and mines a t3 ,, sdue to were external wastgate is shown, its in the wrong place , so that turbo intake is wrong way as well ..
so bit of adapting is needed first manifold

then chopped t25 flange off and welded a cast t3 flange on along with ,moving external wastegate too


notice now the intakes on the left and not on right ,

notice were old wastegate is now , ill just make a blanking plate , so then manifold can be used both ways


trail fit time

fits good , also i can now not only fit a turbo either way , but also spin the intake snail 360deg for any pipe angle ,,

 

12vr6 still runing fine , i finaly managed a quick mk5 r32 trail start on the garage floor today , only for a short time due to no water contected , but starts runs sweet as a nut

You are literally mental , haha I hope to see this on the road one day. What boost level you going to , are you running a spacer plate in this motor?

 

mental lol me , just open minded ...........the 12vr6 is boostinf 25/30psi the r32 carnt boost this mutch due to none forged internals , 15/18psi max, unsure what you mean by spacer plate?

 

Looking good! You'll be going deaf listening to that thing rumbling...

 

I think i just did a "sex wee"!!

 

well thought id try a mk5 r32 and adapt it in my caddy and add a blower , only low boost im affraid , but made a start made a new alloy poloybush mount, new paddle clutch tdi 4wd gearbox,6speed
made a new stainless exhuast, custom intercooler pipe work, and plenty of wireing to plum up lol , few pics here

grrr didnt relise mk5 r32 clutch carnt be used on a 2.8 4motion solid flywheel , (differncernt depths)


trail fitted

few sensors added , my save a few lights flashing on the dash

made as mutch free..ish room i could in the space i have left

then hit a issiuse exhust carnt go under car, and trying to fit a large hx40 turbo on this manifold was a tw..t , but bit of modifying turbos fitted and made a new exhuast pipe

 

finshed exhuast , just need wrapping

tig welding coming on i reckon...

fits good

next made some custom alloy tubing and buzzed them up




up to date , intercooler to finish off then start on the wireing to get the buggar runing

.ps bit of advise how mutch boost will a 38mm hold on a r32 before boost creep?
andany one have a ekta water piping daigram ,plus a 96 mk3 vr6 obd2 8pin wireing , as my other laptps gone down

 

top work on the piping there fella.

 

thanks pal, well its done in modifyed and running lol
