ryan lang Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 haha amazing dude!! deffo need to come to the south wales meets and get some videos!! Quote
Bean Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 is it def on the 4e timing marks? looking forward to some videos it must be daft with that power lol. Quote
Taggy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 yeah definetly on the 4e marks, it does spool up quicker than a 4e by about 500rpm but it should be more like 1000rpm, i am wondering if my wastegate is leaking or not welded shut properly Quote
starletburkie Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Looks like a exhaust leak with it tailing off boost too Quote
Bean Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 when i sent my vf35 off to turbo dynamics for a rebuild i had previously had the penny welded shut on the wastegate. they said when they tested it that it had warped a little and wasnt a perfect seal. they machined it and welded it up properly. whether they said all this to get more cash out of me i dont know. but worth checking i guess.

bucketep91 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Loving it taggy! Dont go losing your licence now lol Quote

steve-gers Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 you need wheeltrims held on with cable ties in your life Quote
ttestarlet Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Really cool build! regarding the turbo, to be sure it was sealed with mine i removed the 'penny washer' and machined a plug, pressed it in and grinded it flush in the exhaust port side and tig welded it complete. Quote
starletburkie Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) ^ I just got a solid piece of 25mm solid bar 3mm thick and tig welded it the whole way around in the wastegate hole, then a quick tack on the penny to stop it flaping around Edited February 22, 2013 by starletburkie Quote
finbarh6 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Taggy go to Swansea cruise meet this sunday i want to see this in the flesh haha Quote
Taggy Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 Here we go again, Ordered the forged pistons and rebooked to go back to tuning developments for the 25th April. In fairness they are putting it back on the rollers free of charge to retest it as a gesture of good will. Lets hope it works out better this time eh! Quote
Jamie_VF22 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Good news taggy glad you are sorting it out Quote
