Supercharge your vw

Nice project. I'll be interested to see how this works out.

 

8:2:1 if it's original WO

 

Your correct but I used 1.6 copper sealing rings , as all blown engines have them to aid sealing and to just lower it slightly ...but it has WO correct cam and pistons ..... I'm kinda making it up as I go

 

very nice

 

This is going to be ace when complete @lhu1281 ...a testament to headscratching and perseverance
Looking forward too the end results....

 

Nice work

 

Hi great wrk , are you lowering compression.?

 

Not really , modern fuels and the low psi I'll run won't be a problem ......only difference from stock CR is the 2mm head gaskets

 

Have you done any more to it?

 

Been mental busy at work , so busy the bus hasn't been out all year .....

 

Can't help but think I need an inter cooler / charge cooler ....what do you think ?

 

Something is better than nothing

I've started thinking about intercooler locations, as I'm going to turbo the engine in the fish Turbo pistons will be on my next big states order

 

How is the Fish? I recall you have some way to go before you'll be fitting the engine? Any progress at all?

 

None at the moment... Am in need of some extra hands, but I have started collecting repair panels so I can hit it in one go or a few goes

 

Theres loads of modern cars fitted with chargecoolers you could use. May as well fit one while you are making up intake piping.

Paul, isn't there a cheaper alternative to aftermarket VW pistons? Cossie ones etc?

 

I'd've thought it depends how big the pulley is....smaller pulley, more revolutions

 

Well I can't find one that fits what I've done so far ,so will have to make my own version of a charge cooler

just add water....

 

So project stalled a bit due to work . I have a nice vintage speed 150bhp exhaust , ordered ECU , fuel pumps , 4 coils ,leads, lamba sensor , loom and a multitude of other bits to enable this to progress ..

I have done a lot of work on a charge cooler , mk1 then mk2 etc will post a few pics but it's not the easiest thing to try to get to fit with what I have already done . Finding something off the shelf is a non starter so I cut one up . I should of planned things better from the start as I am using a mixture of stainless pipes and an aluminium cooler which obviously I can't weld together ....

 

as its off a shaguar i had to cut the 4 inlets off and modify the air in .......hopefully it will fit slap bang where i want it to.

As all my pipe work is stainless i am making stainless flanges which will be welded to existing pipework .....
