Engine swap and bigger turbo upgrade project

Quick update.

Car has been taken to Ray to check if further modification required. Car started in my garage but didn't drive because couldn't get idle below 1500rpm.

SX dual in regulator has been fitted today. Timing has been adjusted to 15 degree which was 28 for some reason.

Car was sitting in dyno and ran for a while to check few more things.

I need new radiator fan clutch. Car made 5 psi boost in 2500 rpm which is a good start. Though idle isn't getting any lower than 1050 rpm. Ray said beacause of bigger cams lower idling isn't possible. Not sure if someone else had same issues.
I was worried too much if I have to wait until 5000 rpm to experience the power. Can't wait to get the car back, but as you all know as soon as your car sitting with mechanic it is beyond your control to get things done quickly.

Planning for dual pump setup soon which will be a new thread with lot of questions.

 

sounding good

Sounds good that your getting close mate . Cant wait to see it all done and going.

Few shot from last week to share.

 

you need to sheeth those fuel lines laying on the cam covers...the vibrations of the engine will make those SS lines cut into whatever they are laying on.

 

I wouldn't say a 1050rpm idle is high at all

 

yes those lines are being redone in the workshop. will post pics once dyno is done.

 

Great. Ray has taken over the project and checked almost everything. hope to get my car back soon.

 

is wayne tuning it?

 

yes...will meet him in person saturday.

 

When are you getting her back?

When do we see her?

 

Soon. Can't wait to go for a spin. car sounds like V8 and at 4k rpm turbos spin like a jet engine.

 

Go easy on the gearbox, I just destroyed mine 3rd gear blew to pieces.

 

Shit...that is no good. I thought stock TT gearbox is very strong and unbreakable.

 

You are planning to make the engine power output close to tripple what it came out of the factory with.

Shit breaks at that power!

 

love to hear the engine

sounds like its going to kick some ass...

 

This is my sort of porn.

 

Sounds great... can't wait to see your result...

 

First time reader of this thread, amazed at extensive list of mods and parts you're incorporating. I'm sure it's going to wail come 5000 rpm Even better you're doing it mostly in your own garage.

What rods and pistons you running? Can you up the rev limit to a higher 8000rpm to have more of a useable power zone?

Look forward to what this makes on the dyno and how it drives on the road.

 

Bought a used rebuilt engine from japan without turbos.

Wish didn't go throuh with the process at the first place. Struglling to pay for dyno time. Grocery on hold until next pay.

 

sorry but you're in way too deep to start saying you can't afford it
