Took it on the first test run today, blew the *** out of 2nd gear :twisted: :evil:

The pressure plate is still giving me grief, I am going throw in a stock one until I decide what I am going to do about the tranny/clutch situation, not sure if I will keep the o2o or go o2a... Basically what has happened with the pressure plate is with the three straps, its too strong, the fingers compress but will not depress the straps :cry: so three straps is too many, 2 works fine though...

arghh need this thing going, hopefully have time to swap trannys tonight or tomorrow.

How did 2nd gear meet it's maker?

I think the tranny was already on its way out, and there is a lot of power behind it now. For some reason my speedo wasn't workin on the test run but it is very fast.

So we finally got some good test runs in tonight. Max EGTs at 1500, boost was set to 30 psi, perfect 1:1 drive ratio too, problem is it needs to be at 5500rpm to make 30 psi. We managed to pull past 220km/h. Wish I had a Gtech, to get some ball park 1/4 mile times... This turbo is a bit laggy though, about 10 psi at 4k rpm.

Tomorrow when it is light out I will spend some time tuning it to see if I can bring spool time down. A big pump, cam, and tubular exhaust might be enough to keep this large .63 ar turbine housing, or I may have to switch to a .48...

You will have one up there shortly.

Built the exhaust system today, looks pretty nice. I'll get some pics up tomorrow. Anyways this things HAULS ASS on the top end. Tonight we managed 230km/h uphill, it was still pulling! 6000+ rpm in 5th gear upphill and it wanted more :twisted:

Right now it drives much like a stock 1.6td under 4000rpm, which is nice for daily driving, and it doesn't make any boost under that so there isn't really any strain under the motor for DD purposes. But man when this thing spools it pulls hard. Only problem I have is too much boost drops off when I shift, I think with the 14mm pump I could have a lot more fuel under boost, which I need, which should really help me keep the turbo spooled. As long as I can get the boost to come on good at 4000-4300 and pull like all hell to say 6200 rpm I am a happy guy.

Hey Dave,

thanks Duane

Hey Duane, manifold is from my friends over at kinetic motorsports. If you are in need of one this manifold will be for sale soon along with this downpipe because I will be going with a tubular manifold.

Anytime man, you should come down for the import invasion this year at mission raceway. I'll let you take my jetta for a rip, and while your gone with it I'll steal the recaro interior from your jetta

zaprzal · « **Reply #88 on:** January 01, 2008, 07:32:21 am »

do you think 0,48 a/r hot side from MB 300turbo would help with lag? What is your exhaust wheel?

Dave is that the 350HP rated intercooler from Precision?
