My 1.6td/aaz head and other stuff too.

lolz-me-arse-off at the part about the drill bit hahahaha
So you reckon I'll still grenade my turbo utilizing my magic waste gate?
I'll make a video, i just need to figure out how im going to fixate my camera inside the car... It would be really cool to have several cameras like in a rally race showing my feet, gear stick, speedo, rpm, front, gauges, rearview mirror and what have you.

nah, i dont think it will commit suicide till atleast 30 psi boost or so, probably even higher than that tho. probably closer to 40 psi or something. i guess ive ran my turbo to within an inch of its life quite a few times, i guess they start to explode at 35 psi. mines done that lots of times, but i think it was from retarded timing, because i had half the power with 35 psi than i do now with 20 psi.

hill folk sent pics of his down pipe with a huge hole in it from the turbine wheel shooting out, but that was on a tdi-m with a t3

[Smokey Eddy]

That's an interesting comment about the retarded timing... i found i got much higher boost with retarded timing but less power... was a lot quieter though...

[foxracer1]

When the timing is retarded it creates higher EGTs so it would produce more boost but may not make more HPs. Thats why its fun to have lots of gauges to stare at.

my rabbit had tons (almost twice as much) and tons of boost with retarded timing, but driving it was just that, retarded. it wouldnt smoke, it wouldnt get very good mileage, but it sure was fun pegging the 30 psi gauge at the glance of an eye. and like you said, it was quiet. quieter rattle from the engine, and a WAY quieter exhaust note. i put a muffler on when i still had retarded timing, then before i took my engine out of my rabbit, i cut the muffler off to donate to my GTI, and then i took it for one last drive before i broke 2 motor mounts and pulled the motor. that last drive i took it on, it was so ridiculously loud.. just a 2.5 inch straight pipe. i never remembered it being that loud. but that was also after i got the timing alot closer to spec. it starts so much easier being timed well.

SO,

Since im going to be hopefully getting lots of pressure and CFM out of the holset idea... I should increase the break pressure of my injectors yes? they are supposed to be at 155 bar. but i dont have any way of checking that for my self. A shop just told me they were "ok"

Also, am i going over the limits of my engine with this idea?
I'm basically shoving tons of boost down it's throat and attempting to make it breathe as freely as possible to burn as much diesel as is present in the chamber.

I've put a fraction of the money into my engine as other people on here, ARB, Saurkraut, Dave (953Racer), Mike, ect.

The only ... safety catches i have on my engine are new rod bearings... and that's basically it. I can't think of anything else.
oh, and measures to keep the EGT down. IE big exhaust & ported head.
Am i just making a bomb of sorts?
Please let me know if you think this is a REALLY dumb idea.

i still think the T3 is too big to use with a compound setup.

i still think the T3 is too big to use with a compound setup.

we'll just have to see. can be easily replaced if it doesn't work.

[RabbitJockey]

what intake manifold do you plan on using?

[Smokey Eddy]

I dunno?
The TDI ALH one?
What else would fit?
The only alternative i can think of is somehow ... making my own runners for the exhaust and getting someone to make me a plenum style intake.

[rallydiesel]

That's why vnt turbos are so great. None of the headaches of matching compound turbos and plumbing issues.

New Stuff!


I will undoubtably be asking what some of these gaskets and copper washer things are for in the very near future

[8v-of-fury]

NOICE!

Heatercore just blew up inside my car today...
adding that to the list. sighhhhhh
and the appropriate hoses
siiiighhhh
