This is a base introduction to the turbo build I am progressing through and a run over the parts I am intending to do on the video.
First real video on here and hopefully I'm sure I will get better as it and less re-takes...

Hey great content thank you. I have recently purchased an Alta light weight crank pulley but having second thoughts my car is a daily and beautiful. Would you run one on an otherwise stock engine W/17% sc pulley or would you leave it stock Thank you for your time it really is hard to get a straight answer

Hi with the 1000cc injectors, have you had to replace the fuel pump to something like a death werks ? Love the idea of the individual coil packs have seen them on another couple of r53 turbos but they always refer to them as Audi r8 coil packs lol. Probably like the way it sounds.

@rkde2042 4 жыл бұрын

I did replace the fuel pump to a walbro 255 not sure if I needed to or not as I'm not pushing the 1000cc yet as I could have probably used 550cc. The coil packs are those Audi designed for the R8. Don't know why but the R8 coils do deliver a very good spark but not too expensive for the performance offered

Ever considered cryogenic freezing the chain to harden so it does not stretch.

@rkde2042 4 жыл бұрын

Ian, can't say I have - I think with the circa 5mm stretch over 80,000 miles I am happy that this is probably 20 years worth of driving in this car for me. Personally I do not have enough information to know what is needed in terms of the grain structure of the chain and maybe it needs to stretch a little? I would say that it is beneficial to change them on higher miles but you can see why cars that have done over 100k keep needing tensionors as the stretch maybe 7mm?

I really like how you modified the rocker cover, I've been thinking about doing something similar. What all did you do to yours?

@rkde2042 Жыл бұрын

Thank you, there is a block made that fixed in there printed in ABS off a 3d printer then there is fat boy filler over the top as that filler does shrink and grow very much. If I really had spare time I've wanted to make a clear cover...

@@vassilieff1 for manifolds you can hop onto eBay or Facebook and search Elliott at unit10 both will make them for £750~£850. All my parts are either from Orranje or 1320. Orranje source parts not listed on the site if you need something specific. I'd do kits but it would be a year away yet

Did you use a standard valve cover and shave the coil pack mounting spot off of it, or is that cover from another engine?

@rkde2042 2 жыл бұрын

It's the original modified, I didn't want the coil dent without the coil pack. Looks much better. I added a plate and then smoothed it in to avoid cutting into the cover.
