[corsakid]

[mk1nova_rich]

Yes

[John]

You already have one for the silver nova dude lol

[corsakid]

[Edd]

Do it, be interesting to see I reckon

[turbojolt]

no

[therealnovaboy]

[Spudly]

When did you become an emo ya big ghey lol

[corsakid]

no not a bam engine but in the same engines family was originally a 180 bhp engine but its been extensively moddified and will be 300-350 easy

[Martin.p]

I'd make a build thread, so if your pc has a spaz attack ( like mine did last yr) you still have some evidence of build after loosing all your pics! ( like I did last yr)


Yes. I know back it up on memory stick.
You learn from mistakes! And I tell you, I've made some mistakes in my time! :)

[turbojolt]

When did you become an emo ya big ghey lol

[Edd]

Come on, crack a thread up, we need some excitement on here

Fcuking boring listening to all this lot praising Ford tat all day long lol

'Pinto's with big blowers slapped on are the best thing evaaaaaar etc etc blah blah fcuking blah '


Get the thread up!

[corsakid]

quick pic off the phone

[Southie]

Corsakid, pm me all the pictures... Nobody else seems bothered lol

[_Jake]

should of put a yb in just to piss off edd!

[bazil]

Often thought this would be a good idea, just couldn't bring myself to rip my APY out the S3 lol

Keeping the Quattro system would be epic but an epic ballache to do.

Is it running?

[corsakid]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/RSGBodystylingska/IMG_2057.png


smallest 50 amp alternator in the world (i believe) is also being used on this

[corsakid]

quattro system is in the pipeline :)

[corsakid]

no not running yet its only a day or 2 away from running its just getting the time to work on it, its going to run on dta

? hahahaha

[bazil]

Good luck with that lol,

Personally I wouldn't bother, it's mostly a FWD biased system and wayyyy to safe.
The control syestems are a nightmare too with longitudinal and latitudinal G sensors,steering sensors, its a over complicated system, you need the full abs system too not to mention the weight of it all,

[corsakid]

you can get round 99% of all the crap to make the haldex work you can get a new haldex control unit (aftermarket jobbie) im a audi/vw master tech getting the 4wd working wont be a problem itll be fitting it, its a very robust system aswell as long as the oils changed regular in the haldex unit they are bullet proof

[Southie]

The question is... Is this running then lol

[corsakid]

no but its literally a case on wiring the dta in and connecting a few coolant pipes and boost pipes and making a downpipe for the turbo

[Mike]

Come on, crack a thread up, we need some excitement on here

Fcuking boring listening to all this lot praising Ford tat all day long lol

'Pinto's with big blowers slapped on are the best thing evaaaaaar etc etc blah blah fcuking blah '

Could be worse Edd, FIAT could supply M20, M32 & a ZLET parts to GM.

Oh wait.....

[bazil]

Cool, youll know better than me then lol

Can you not just fit a mechanical diff rather than a haldex unit?
How does the transfer box deliver to the rear? My understanding was it transfers power to the rear all the time but drive is only engaged by the haldex on the rear axle,

[Edd]

Could be worse Edd, FIAT could supply M20, M32 & a ZLET parts to GM.

Oh wait.....




That doesn't surprise me, Z LET engines are utter crap lol

[corsakid]

yeah the drive is transmitted constantly via a mechanical bevel box ( transfer box) to the rear and your right the haldex unit then supplys the drive to the rear wheels

[corsakid]

you just get the haldex unit to engage drive all the time :)

[bazil]

I'd be sorley tempted to fit a mechanical full time diff on the rear with a LSD,

What's the sort of torque split on the front to rear from the transfer box,
My thought was simply to fit a old school BMW or cossy rear diff with the same ratio as the front diff I'd I done it,
Then gave up and just bought a working nova lol

[corsakid]

i believe its sumit like 60 front-40 rear or 70-30, yeah tha would be easier of fiiting a mechanical diff, the very first haldex systems are much much more simpler than the new generations of haldex systems but i was planning on fitting ans audi a3 or skoda octavia 4x4 floor pan so the haldex would already be fitted but thats a distant pipe dream at the minute ill get it running and drivng first etc

[bazil]

you just get the haldex unit to engage drive all the time :)

Or this lol

Oh and start a new thread mate :)

[corsakid]

will do

[bazil]

I have always wondered how my S3 would be if it were half the weight,

Kerb weight is 1460kg, 8L shape, the nova would be half that lol it'll be Fooookin rapid lol

[corsakid]

it have 350 ish bhp not massive figures but itll be enough and should go well

[bazil]

Sounds nice!!

I just left mine standard at 210, I was told 350 was the limit on standard internals due to the APY having better rods than the BAM, I think the 1.8T is a good engine, nice and small too once all the crap is stripped off it.

Hope to see your thread soon :)

[Will F]

Just get the pics up then you bell. LolSaw this in the flesh yesterday, and there isn't much left to do at all!

[John]

Moar pics!

[corsakid]

its taken a fair fair bit of work to get the engine in there but the light isat the end of the tunnel extensive modification and fabrication of engine, gearbox and inlet manifold

[Nick J]

Glad to see you kept the car Kris..... When I saw you selling off the expensive xe parts I presumed the car had gone too. Looks like it will be another quality build from the Hurn brothers.... Looking forward to seeing it go.

Nick.

[corsakid]

cheers nick, ill never sell it, though it did come close when i was selling all the xe parts, everything is really dirty will be a lot lot cleaner and neater when the final installation happens

[therealnovaboy]

good work. Should have been done years ago. I await the VR6T build

[corsakid]

its been pretty expensive so far as pretty much everything has to be modified, or made from scratch the bottom pulley i had made from a company in california and drive shafts are looking like theyll be 500 pound a shaft

[General Baxter]

dont matter which type of engine it is, the 1.8 20v T is still the best tuneable engine there is :)

[corsakid]

dont matter which type of engine it is, the 1.8 20v T is still the best tuneable engine there is :)

agreed

[General Baxter]

im pushing, well i say pushing 303 out of mine, and can give more, but fuel is expensive, 158k on the clock, only 1 head gasket change, but this was due to having head work lol

[corsakid]

whats the spec of your engine mate? very interested mines in short a big garret turbo 0.82 exhaust housing, external wastegate tubular manifold big injectors, new lightened g60 flywheel and carbon kevlar clutch, dta engine management bosch 044 fuel pump etc

[General Baxter]

i just made mine in theroy a 225TT, with a map lol the orginal fuel pump has more then enough pressure behind it,

T04 turbo,
225 tt injectors,
TMS decat,
4bar pressure reg
exhaust system, cant remember make,
remap,

and it runs that clean, it still passed a CAT MOT :)

[corsakid]

awesome, they say 300-350 is the max without rods, i have aquired a few engines just in case and am planning on fitting rods getting an aeb head from old passat etc big power then

cheers

gotta stop myself from reaching for the wallet

[General Baxter]

iv been tempted, but im running on Ron 97, and averaging 14-15mpg, so no more lol

[Stuart]

Lol @ Baxter using tms parts, thought they were only into ****ing up vauxhalls... Or have they moved into vag like lageR had to.

[General Baxter]

yep, tms do a bit for vag now,!

but its got 3 sensor holes, good for the wideband lol

[Stuart]

That's just a production error lmao

[General Baxter]

thats nothing, its comes with a sticker, that says do not remove, after a small burn around the lanes, the sticker had set on fire lol

but i need to get rid of this car , after a 170td passat estate now lol

[Spudly]

Ill swap it for my astra, Baxter, i want a turbo lol

[General Baxter]

i need diesel and boot :p

Damn you, stop teasing, poor turbojolt is going to have a breakdown soon lol

[nova_niek]

Engine tilted backwards means better weight distribution - or am I talking out of my lower backside again? Well impressed with the work gone into this. :cool:

[corsakid]

thats how they sit in the vag cars look at the cambelt end it sits levelish

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/RSGBodystylingska/IMG_1390.jpg

[chrisd1986]

Yes all vag engines are like this, i remember when i fitted my abf into my mk2 golf on my drive i had a whore of a job getti g it in as my drive is on a slant

[BRoadGhost]

She's a turbo. So in terms of weight what's in it between this an a LET?

[corsakid]

No difference I don't think really

[Will F]

Has to be lighter, but the box is a bit of a beast, so that probably cancels out any engine weight differences...?

[Stuart]

But then you can pound the living day lights out of the box compared to an f28 lol

[John]

What have you done turbo wise? k03? hybrid? Running aftermarket management?

[Mike]

dont matter which type of engine it is, the 1.8 20v T is still the best tuneable engine there is :)

Rotary engine you mean. Not as reliable mind but easy to get big BIG power out of them.

[turbojolt]

i swear im going to burst a blood vessle where is the thread :wtf:

[pie]

lol TJ

[corsakid]

I'm using a garret t34 size turbo with a .82 exhaust housing with 'precision' external waste gate, dta management, I'm having the turbo above the gearbox as space is tight at the back, turbo jolt I just haven't had the time in the evenings to start a thread tbh Bosch 044 fuel pump swirl pot, Vxr injectors etc

[Adam]

Looks well in there. Should go even better.
These engines are sweet even in a passat barge! :d

[John]

Hi mate, have been on an Audi course with one of your work mates "wiggy" he showed me the pic of you with 9"disc in 6" grinder hacking your inlet manifold up lol

[Will F]

Ha, small world!

[corsakid]

Yeah will was telling me you were on a coarse with wiggy! As you can imagine that grinder idea was just for a funny pic, and as you saw from the video didn't last very long!
