Getting some work done for my new DD, hoping to go over 200whp, should have it running by the end of the week. :twisted:

is that the 1.6 block 1.9 head config? i don't see your pulsed exhaust manifold on it!

what's the detailed story on the clutch presure plate straps?

4 puck disk with springs should launch a little more smooth than the solid 4puck I used on my old 2.0 ABA 16V turbo.

looking good

Proper pulsed exhaust manifold to come this is a quick build, I don't have a car right now so I need to get his done by the end of the week. After I get it some what tuned I'll build the tubular manifold and a get a bigger pump. I hope right now, with what I have I can get to 200whp, after that I want about 230-240 daily driver reliability. This is being build completely of parts that I had around the shop, no time to order parts, so its not quite as done up as I would like but it'll be nothin to frown at thats for sure

The pressure plate is a 210mm sachs unit, they come with both single straps and double straps, the single are thicker than the doubles. What I did was weld the two thinner ones and a thick one together, after I tightened up the bolts I welded the bolts to the pressure plate. Should hold 300+WHP, more than the o2o will hold anyways. The flywheel is 210mm as well, lightened down to 5.2lbs :twisted: That with the 4 puck sprung center clutch disk and I have a bullet proof clutch set up.

Just moving that air filter someplace cooler will be good for a lot. Looks sweet!

It was only on there to keep stuff from going in the inlet, there will be a 3" ss mandrel bent CAI built in no time, just wait

Two boost guages?

Slave2School · « **Reply #9 on:** December 18, 2007, 12:13:41 am »

I bet one is for exhaust manifold pressure

"Passenger Performance" I'm guessing.

Thomas and Trevor, your welcome to come test it just send a ***load of money and your car and it'll be done! :lol:

G-spec, slave2school hit the nail on the head, the silver gauge is for exhaust manifold pressure, that brass fitting thats by the wastegate in the exhaust manifold is for the gauge.

Heres a couple more pics, theres actually more done right now than in the pics, I have all the coolant lines and all the factory sensors hooked up now. Have a lot of wiring to do to get all the autometer gauges going, and battery relocation to the trunk. After thats done I can fab the turbo inlet, downpipe, wastegate dump, 3" exhaust, and charge piping for the fmic. Don't know hom much time I'll have to work on it tomorrow, have a lot of work to get out before christmas.

Just making sure! :^)

It seems a shame to put the timing belt cover on over those purty red pulleys. You need a lexan cover.
