home brew turbo system

hi all ok iv got bored again and need to toy with something so im going to turbo my 1.3 mk2 feedback will be great




metro turbo T3 bring on the lag


metro turbo carb



intercooler not sure if its a ren 5 or rs turbo


old 1.3 engine to use as a jig



parts for inlet manifold

Good work dude

Boy got skills.

Be funny as fook if ya pull it off mate

Sounds good but why not just G40 it?

im guessing because...

This will end up costing feck all

Will be able to produce more power than a G40.

Gladders suck

Will be more reliable

How you going to lower the compression dude?

i also forgot the other point..

It will be cool as hell

thanks for all the coments guys the only reason im doing it and not putting a g40 in is because i can do it for bugger all as tiz sad got lots of the bits already and its should be a good crack something diffrent not after big power !!!!

ps oh yes the compression ratio on a metro turbo is 9:4:0 and my golf is 9:5:0 so not to far out going to use a g40 head casket if i can as they a little bit thicker and stronger

also..... When the engine goes pop... Whats easier to find. A g40... or get another old 1.3 and bolt all the bits back on. Will be awesome when its done mate.

gud work

loving the sound of this

Lee you better not be doing this in the house!

xx

yes bruv!
gonna be beastly.

is that your TIG set? im after one but they all too pricey.

if it is yours what sort and how much? cheers mate

Thanks for the coments again people not had much time to play with it at the mo as work is crazy busy only get an hour a day at dinner time
na its not my set its my work one its a murex set from starmakers in waterbeach not sure how much it was but a lot of dosh !!!

Its a bad day for the turbo system been geting on really well with the inlet manifold and could see the end was close when !!!!


set up in the milling machine to face off the flanges and the bugger moved and went wrong big style it was all my fault rushing it








oh well will have to move onto inlet mk2 now did not like a few things with the manifold anyway proberly use allo this time !!!!


ps does anybody have polo GT inlet manifold kicking around ??? or any sort of 1.3 inlet mainfold ???

unlucky dude, gutted for ya mate. know wot its like to spend alot of time making something to go and fook it up at the last minute

yeah i was like pretty angry the manifold got launched across the work shop !!! but feeling better now been thinking about modifiying a polo gt inlet and its looking a better idea at the min

oh what a sh*tter dude! hope you sort something out

got a gt manifold today so can start again with the manifold now

Gutting about the home brewed...............



....but result on the GT..

yeah was a bugger but see what i can do with the gt manifold did not reaise they lay back so much but im sure i can make somthing out of it

thats a bummer mate, but at least you can learn from mistakes... where do you work by the way?

i work on the large industrial site in duxford im a fitter / welder / fabricator
