frank c Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Let me know how it goes Jim.. i'm still a bit unsure to what bits i should be fitting to keep temps down and look after the engine for the long run... What are fuel rails all about .... are these just for when you go for big power ? Edited May 5, 2008 by Frank C
mctwistuk Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 yea sticking with top mount frank and no plans for a bigger scoop,only time will tell if it works though think we should be starting a book on when the front mount is going to get fitted lol. car is looking good. you need to get some pics up of the interior or lack of it Jim. Will be interesting to see the slim jim seats fitted in it. am gonna have to go on a diet to get a pax lap with you.
jimser Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 Let me know how it goes Jim.. i'm still a bit unsure to what bits i should be fitting to keep temps down and look after the engine for the long run...What are fuel rails all about .... are these just for when you go for big power ? will do frank.yea the fuel rails are a bit overkill at the moment but will be good for stage 2 think we should be starting a book on when the front mount is going to get fitted lol.car is looking good. you need to get some pics up of the interior or lack of it Jim. Will be interesting to see the slim jim seats fitted in it. am gonna have to go on a diet to get a pax lap with you. not fitting the seats yet chris but there will be a few needing to shed some lbs/stones to fit in them
fai17 Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) will do frank.yea the fuel rails are a bit overkill at the moment but will be good for stage 2 : Stage 2 on the cards already!!! Edited May 5, 2008 by fai 17
mctwistuk Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Stage 2 on the cards already!!! bet the front mount and the bigger turbo are already in the house of Jimser waiting to get fitted. Well he has had his house full of mods for the past few months so it will feel strange having floor space again.
jimser Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 Stage 2 on the cards already!!! bet the front mount and the bigger turbo are already in the house of Jimser waiting to get fitted. Well he has had his house full of mods for the past few months so it will feel strange having floor space again. no stage 2 planned at the moment,no big turbos under my bed or front mounts,if everything goes to plan i'll be sticking with the 2.0l for a long time and be happy with my lot!
paul555sti Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 no stage 2 planned at the moment,no big turbos under my bed or front mounts,if everything goes to plan i'll be sticking with the 2.0l for a long time and be happy with my lot! Quick, fast and reliable thats the way ahead!
fai17 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 no stage 2 planned at the moment,no big turbos under my bed or front mounts,if everything goes to plan i'll be sticking with the 2.0l for a long time and be happy with my lot! that is the best plan after but you can't beat a 2.5L and a bigger turbo combo tho
nkwrx Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Did I not see this gettin delivered to your workshop Jim?
st3ph3n Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Ah the giant turbo picture. It's been a while since that one's been posted.
jimser Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 Quick, fast and reliable thats the way ahead! hopefully paul that is the best plan after but you can't beat a 2.5L and a bigger turbo combo tho full boost at 4700rpm etc is not my idea of a road car but thats not a dig each to their own Did I not see this gettin delivered to your workshop Jim? no no no lol
jimser Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) well thats about it for the modding caper,sorted the issues with aquamist and the oil leak,audi mark finished polishing the car tonight,so just a case of getting the car up the road and waiting for the re-map.cant thank gary d and terzo neil enough for all their help,without whom it just wouldn't have happened in 3 weeks,cheers guys. thanks also to peter,jac,cusco kid,higgy,SQUIGGLE and anyone else i forgot.not got much else pic wise aquamist fitted interior quick release steering wheel Edited May 10, 2008 by jimser
mctwistuk Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 great job mate. what is the device above the avcr????? bet you cant wait to get it mapped? Looks abit like the nightrider cabin with all those switches and gauges lol

Looks abit like the nightrider cabin with all those switches and gauges lol cheers chris,its a wideband monitor with 90 mins datalog facility. and yea cant wait for mapping,standard block and all
nanaki Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 stunning work by all involved. can't wait to see the final results. good luck mate.
frank c Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Fantastic effort guys...3 weeks jeeez..the car was in the sva for nearly as long as that lol Well done Jim..look forward to hear how the trip to Port Seton goes
fai17 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Wow... A proper "man's car" Awesome and not a "classic" in sight
AlanG Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 full boost at 4700rpm etc is not my idea of a road car but thats not a digeach to their own I agree. 3500 - 4000rpm tops depending on rev limit.
AlanG Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 How long have you got to wait before it gets mapped? Can it be driven just now?
jimser Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 stunning work by all involved. can't wait to see the final results. good luck mate. Good show and good luck on remap Fantastic effort guys...3 weeks jeeez..the car was in the sva for nearly as long as that lolWell done Jim..look forward to hear how the trip to Port Seton goes Wow... A proper "man's car" Awesome cheers guys
jimser Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 How long have you got to wait before it gets mapped? Can it be driven just now? due for remap on the 19th may yea can be driven off boost
