[project] Nothing To Do With 205's, But Behold!

Where's me gun? If it doesn't start first time, I'll blame him for hurting Brown's feelings

 

Unfortunately the rusty servo is the least of it's aestehtic worries

[M3Evo 0]

Aah, can almost fool myself that it's done looking at these pics!

 

Not quite though

Looks very yum yum to me. That duel intercooler setup mounted there is top class

[Justin 9]

Brilliant. Just brilliant

awesome! function before form, everytime!

Powerslide mayhem awaits you!

 

Am liking it a lot

[pug309twin40s 1]

hmm very nice and shiney engine.

 

i hope your putting jubilee clips or something on those blue pipes otherwise wont they just pop off???

[M3Evo 0]

Cheers guys, it's a shame the evenings are so dark at the moment as there are still the down pipes, exhaust system and oil cooler to get fitted or made.

 

Will be fitting jubilee clips to the piping, those were just quick piccies after a trial fit of all the boost pipe. Went a lot better than I expected it to!

Shiny blue pipes

 

Looking good, but is there a reason for mounting the intercoolers that particular way around? They don't look as though they'll get much airflow through them to me, unless you've got some sort of 'scoop' in mind to funnel the air vertically.

[Alastairh 47]

Looks rather cool.

[M3Evo 0]

Yeah, plan is to put some scoops underneath the intercoolers. Mounted them that way as it made it easier to get the pipes routed to them, and also there's quite a lot of metal behind them so the air probably wouldn't have been able to get through anyway if they'd been facing forward

Plus you can always fit another pair on top for future use

This weekends efforts in glorious camera phone colour:

 

 

A home made exhaust system and pair of down pipes

 

Still so much to do though, despite the fact I keep kidding myself that's it's almost done

[Alastairh 47]

Nutter

[taylorspug 7]

LOL, ive had exhaust related joys this weekend aswell, cutting and shutting stuff. Nothing that extreme though. Good effort!

[DrSeuss 0]

what dia. is that pipe? what made you decide to route them completely separately and not just into one big bastard pipe?

[M3Evo 0]

They're both 2" diameter.

 

I would've gone for one big pipe if I'd done a single turbo thing, but the original system was a twin pipe arangement so I copied that. The pipes do link about 2/5 of the way along which is apparently important for low end torque.

 

The other thing is that they duck under the rear subframe which could make ground clearance a bit tight with giant pipes.

[Dom9 2]

Awesome, f***ing awesome!!

 

Keep the pics coming Alex!

[tom_m 0]

i wanna see the scoops in the front bumper, keep those pics coming!

[madaxgt 0]

What size are the turbos you are using, they must be fairly small going on the diameter youve chosen, also may have missed this but what comp ratio are you running?

 

Scoop very good idea as your i/c mounting is far from ideal, make it a double one that has one scooping round to the back and one scooping to the middle if that makes sense. Scooby boys do this to the top mounted i/c to reduce charge temps as no airflow makes it to the front part of the i/c. Idea is to keep the average air velocity up across the i/c width.

[M3Evo 0]

Aah yes, see what you mean about the scoops, like one mounted within the other? Like that idea, cheers!

 

The compression ratio is standard for the engine @ 9.5:1 give or take.

 

The turbos are T25s with 0.48A/R exhaust housings and 0.42A/R inlet housings, so fairly tiddly.

[M3Evo 0]

Hooray!

 

More progress, I've mounted the oil cooler, oil filter mount and take-off plate. You can just about see the take-off for the turbo and pressure gauge oil feeds too (three little golden nubbins).

 

Get the feeling the end of this project's gonna creep up on me somehow. Do-de-do....just tighte this nut...what's next on the list.....OH! It's done!

a passenger ride in this car is about hte only reason i'd voluntarily visit anywhere in surrey.

 

Get it done man, and have a look at my topic in off-topics, will give you something to aim for

[M3Evo 0]

too late for that, did the manifolds months ago! (although only just finished one of them having had to move the front turbo back by about 1 1/2")

 

It's getting so cramped in the engine bay!

COCK!!! Surrey rules!!

 

Hurry up Alex, I'm getting impatient!!
