this is a wheel on my mates golf - can it be fixed ? can anyone on hee do it or do they know who can

hahaha seriously .... it works like that ??? RESTECPA

foooookin elll wer'd you find them badboys :D

for a td04 i'd use a blue Amjad - the Ultimate does have more features- but that just makes it more complex i had no problems when i ran 1 bar on a blue but it wouldnt cope with 1.5 bar on a vf 35 thats the thing + you can get blues cheap nowadays

hahaha get mapped and smoke him thattl shut his mouth

as soon as i get them they will be on here

yer i know that the motecs and all them other standalones are very good but also very specialised and very costly lol and they do give you a lot of different options - as long as my car can be mapped and will runn correctly as it should do without having any bloody stupid electrial/sensor faults flashed up that arent even there i will be happy ! i think that alot of the time matching the boost to the tune is one of the problems/harder skills to master - especially when your running each aspect by a seperate system - i'm hoping that by having it all being controlled by one individual unit that it should make things alot easier and smoother - especially with an external tial wastegate and yer if i want more power il just get a hybrid with the same flanges lol

Well i was hoping for 1.6 bar whether or not when we get on the dyno it will need to be dialed down or not is the other thing - i think i'd still be happy if i get 1.5 bar it aint gunna make that much difference lol !! yer i had a look at various turbos and the vf series do a variety of different turbo's/ backhousings etc - i mainly chose it for the spool characteristics as it uses a divided thrust bearing and the smaller p18 backhousing - so with the 5e i should have a serious chunk of power with not to much lag - which i think is the main aim for most turbo cars. I ran a td04 on this engine with an emanage ultimate and a profecb spec2 boost controller, it spooled from 2300rpm and made 1.4 bar around 2900rpm which was epic ! the reason i chose the power fc was that its "tailor made" so to speak for the starlet and plugs straight in without having to make up different looms etc - with all relevent base parameters easy to set up when changing size of injectors base temps etc i also bought the full kit with optional boost controll solenoid and loom and also with the mapsensor which plugs directly into the unit itself, i got rid of the emu because i thought it was a waste of money and i have a good tuner in leeds who likes to use the power fc aswell - and when someone likes doing somthing generally they pu a lot of effort into it so i know its gunna be good

hahaha matt !!!! ill get u in the boot mate !! yer guys iddy is right its going on a forged 5e gunna run 1.6 bar mapped with a power fc - also this engine is a serious beast and had a grands worth of machine work before it was even assembled it revs fast as foook so it should see over 300 horses

As some of you may know i have got a VF35 now which is good for around 350 bhp so seen as i have been in polishing mode i gave the turbo a go today, should have a topmounted mani and down pipe in the next few days aswell which ill post up piks of when done, im also gunna get some custom braided oil and water lines to finish it all off, what do you lot think ? my manifold will also be made in a similar fasion to this one which is for a pulsar but it will be topmounted and externally wastegated ;)

i dont think it costs a bomb mate would be worth doing !!!

i Started off by soaking it in dot 4 brake fluid believe it or not lol then i used a bit of industrial grade solvent cleaner and that stripped it right off lol it may be a bit hard to soak a set of wheels - why dont you get them sand blasted !!

haha i would love to mate but i neeeeeeeed it lol

cheers iddy it sure does ! i had no idea wot colour it was wen i bought it lol

it was a serious effort mate !! note the cleaner behind "industrial strength" hahahaha

a few hours later . . . .

faisal just get it re-welded pal with the amount of effort you put into this thread you could have learnt how to weld and done it yourself

possibly, depends if the engie mounts are the same, you would need gearbox, driveshafts and maybe hubs too - probobly more effort than overall gain but could be interesting - you'd also have to get the full loom and ecu to make sure it runs right

Wheels are beaut !!!

looks good mate but if you have got a forged engine i would be no pussy - get the boost cranked up to 1.5 bar - that should sort the men from the boys - you have got everything there that you need by the looks of it ;)

that does look pretty kool haha

there are 2 different rods and those pistons dont specifically look forged

are you forging it too ??

im gunna give this a blast later and show yous lot how to do it !!!

ill just confirm it again lol forged engines do sound slightly worrying "tappy" when cold as it warms up the noise does become less noisy but will still be there a bit
