Thread: a few progress pics of the bt

right then i thought i would put a few pics up of my s3, the water pump seized up a couple of months ago and bent some valves so i thought i would go for a big turbo a gt3076r to be exact so take a look comments welcome ...

The turbo in the last pic looks MAHOOSIVE!

Good luck with the build, should hit 400bhp with the right map. Looks externally gated. What manifold? Backdraft?
Gotta love those huge garrett inlets.

yep its externally gated a 41mm tial just waiting for it to be delivered, its a racing manifold from qed power just making up the down pipe as we speak and putting a screamer pipe on the wastegate.. all i need to finish is some injectors and some graft putting it back together ... htc what cc injectors would you recomend?

Hey Jimbo, good to see the update pics, looks like you are getting on with it!!!

Sure that turbos big enough??

Have you changed the wheels on your car, im sure they were standard before??

Tasty! good work

Very nice choice. Full race mani arguably the best out there. Not a single failure to date. I take it they fit in RHD cars with 4WD then?

Screamer pipe, you nutter! Get some vids when it's done :-)

See here for injector info --> http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1989841
I use USRT For injectors, tho Bob at QEDpower is a USRT agent and will do them for the same price so you could ask him what he suggests. I'd probably for for 630cc.

should see well over 400bhp, closer to 400 atw

they are standard wheels just painted and minus the centre caps.. the down pipe is a bit of a squeeze but i think it will fit plus thats why im putting a screamer on to make it easier with all the pipe work.. just got a r32 throttle body as well through today plus some stainless tube to finish the down pipe..

cheers htc for the info on the injectors

a update i have connected all intercooler pipe work up injectors are in just waiting for water and oil line and fuel regulator adaptor to come and then some vacumm pipework to do then time to start the car some pis as i know you all like pics lol..

piston difference






then to this

magical stuff mate

looks superb mate what bhp and torque are you expecting when finished

Nice work. What rods did you go for? 82mm bore on the pistons?

Wish I'd gone for a top mount. So easy to get at everything

jim S3, your engine bay is looking awesome! Loved reading HTC's BT threads - keep posting about how you're getting on.

Jim, do you have any more heat shielding to go on. I see some rubber and plastic pipes very close to the turbo. I would also invest in one of the TT coil pack wiring sheilds. Gonna get pretty hot up top now.

Whoa Jim, that looks mint now, how long left till you are finished then??

Keep the pics coming, makes for an interesting read

looks awsome im liking the front mount with the pipe work where the fogs go im very tempted now

jim whats the engine, still 1.8?

well i had the block bored out to 83mm so not sure what cc it is and i have gone for scat rods. its only a matter of weeks now just waiting for parts then have got to run engine in then get a new clutch and get it mapped so could be a few weeks or could be around 2 months...

and yes htc there is loads of heat shielding to go on but waiting for the oil and water lines to fit the heat shield as got to take turbo off to get to everything..

im hoping for 400bhp but anyting is possibe

Looking good Jim, can't wait for the local Midlands meet which I'm sure you'll be up for, so we can all have a butcher's at the finished article.

83mm bore with 86.4mm stroke gives a capacity of 1870cc. 90cc over the standard capacity of 1780cc.

I couldn't get scat rods for love nor money. On back order worldwide when I tried. Went for Intergrated Engineering items in the end (basically exactly the same rod).

Can't wait to see this one finished.

is lag not going to b a bit of an issue?!

This will show when the boost will come in (you can all read compressor maps can't you?)



Might spool a little sooner due to the extra capacity. Also will depend on intercooler type, inlet manifold etc. Probably won't get much befor 4000rpm. It will kick when it gets there.

i bought the scat rods from some one on here a few nonths ago.. i aint to bothered when the boost kicks in as long as it does lol

LOL...i like that Jim, "as long as it kicks in" thats what its all about (c'mon everyone sing the hokey cokey)

Are you still on the Magic Mushrooms?

Very nice, I am looking to goto this turbo in the near future on mine so will be very interested to see how this goes. Also is the factory strut brace going to fit with the turbo there?

yes mate strut brace fits i put it on last night and there is still a bit of room as well..

right then had some vf engineering engine mounts delivered today all fitted and also have got water and oil lines from backdraft just waiting for fuel pressure reg adaptor still..... and then to put oil and water in the thing and charge the battery and hopefully it will start.... hopefully....

also have now got a 50mm tial blow off valve fitted

Yea but how long before you are on the road????

I'm keen to know too...

that looks great! was wondering what size intercooler have you got on and where did ya get it from? having problems finding one the right size for my 1.8t at the moment!

cheers

well i have ran a little low in the old bank balance but every thing is ordered to finish so just a matter of when i get a delivery and buy some oil.. and if the mrs and little one let me go in the garage but she is being golden at the moment and lets me get on with it as she wants a go in it ( she has got no chance ) lol.. so give me 2 weeks...


cant remember the sizes of the intercooler got it off ebay...

OKie dokes, are you up for the meet next week??

are you done yet?? really want to see this thing go!!

it started but only on 2 cylinders gutted got 2 bent inlet valves so waiting for some more supertech ones from america it wont be long i promise

ahhh no, horrible news, new HG and stretch bolts?

no head gasket is alright plus using raceware studs which are reuseable i think lol

Oh man!!!

Dont worry dude, im sure you got what it takes to make it purr....i mean ROAR!!!!

its only a 2 hour job from when the valves land on my door step to getting the head on and starting the car lol. only took me 15 minutes to get the head back off once i realised what was wrong with it

What caused the bend valve? Timing, spring seating?

Also consider broken valve springs on these engine from incorrect seating. Be aware of this if you haven't already seen it

You can reuse the raceware studs, no problem.

Good luck for the rebuild.

it was all my fault lifting the head with exhaust manifold and inlet manifold on is a little heavy and i rested it on my tool box as the valves were open like a twat its not really bent just moved back about half a mm

never mind jim, you didnt think it would be straight forward did you these things never are!! ive got my 3076 fitted to the evo now!! im hoping for around 500bhp. running at 2bar boost, what you going to run yours at?

aint got a clue what to run it at as much as possible i think for a laugh if it goes bang i will do it all again lol

I wish I could say the same haha, if mine goes bang, i will need 2 jobs to fix it!

Have you got a price breakdown of what you have spent on the engine? Including whatever you have had to pay in the way of import duty and shipping? I have been trying to get some ball park figures for a bit of a budget. Que the people saying the budget will go out the window on a BT S3 haha

Compressor map will tell you what boost to run. No point in pumping hot air and melting the thing.
