I'd really fit 2 dumpvalves as a minimum buddy it's really important, I wouldn't risk it with one normal one.

I would think you'll crack 220bhp with the 65mm pulley.

Nice project nice to see a different option being tried out

Would like to see pics of the engine bay,

Looking very well put together this

Tidy

What did you do prior to applying the grey primer? Just sanded it down a bit?

Looking great Nial good luck with the mapping boost FTW .

Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club

Given the costs that would be a pretty good result id say

Where about's are you going to get it mapped?

It's being mapped at Track n Road in Rainham on Thirsday so really cutting it fine!

Engine stand is already promised away but if it doesn't go, I'll let you know

They are not fussy between DTA or Omex Hence why i went with a Omex. I spent about an hour on the phone to one of the Steves when i booked it in and about half hour a few months before hand when they were just giving me advice before i had even said i was interested in booking it in with them. Seem like top blokes who really know their stuff! Getting a bit nervous about getting it to them now though!

nah driving it. Ive got a proper map for a standard gti engine so I'm going to drive it over there with the charger disconnected (thats going to be bloody noisy lol) and then when i get there, pipe up the charger to the throttle body and fit the 440 injectors and away they go! Omex have also sent me a base map for the charged engine so will try that just to make sure everything works as it should

It Lives!!

But what a bloody nightmare today has been. Started off with getting the rest of the wiring in place. Took the charger off to get to the alternator and realised the pulley on the charger was locked up. Turned it back and there is several massive gouges out of the rotors so that is one scrap charger. Thankfully I've got one arriving tomorrow which has lightened my pocket to the sum of £130 but these things happen.
Anyway, whilst i sulked about that, we got the rest of the wiring in, throttle cable mount made up, radiator in, fluids in and fitted the ECU. turned the ignition on, connected the laptop and it found the ECU straight away. good news. Loaded up the map i have and time for the first start.....nothing. No fuel pump. Thankfully i was just being stupid and forgot to supply a positive connection to the fuel pump relay so bodged that in and fuel pump is working. Second start....nothing. Got fuel but no spark or injectors opening. Check the supply to the relay that controls the injectors, lambda and coil pack. Nothing. Trace it back to a bad bit of soldering. Bodge that together and still nothing. After a call to omex, turns out i needed a bigger fuse for that relay so it kept on blowing the one i was using. Fit a bigger fuse and third time....something! Im not going to lie, it was far from a graceful first start. It eventually chugged into life and minute by minute, became smoother and quieter. Try to blip the throttle and it stalls. Great. Checked the laptop and the TPS wasn't working until about 15 degree throttle so as soon as you opened the throttle, you was getting extra air but the ECU wasn't supplying any fuel. Edited that on the laptop and it ran sweet as a nut.

Still lots to go yet. All my pikey wiring needs repairing and sorting, oil needs draining and refilling, oil cooler needs fitting and a few other bits but over all despite my tantrums about the charger and it not starting first time, its all going in a positive way!

Oh and my speedo now starts at 20mph...guess that needs calibrating lol.

I fitted the charger to use as a pulley to start the car up and despite the chronic damage, its silent (Well no unusual noises i mean) and seems to make boost so its not as bad as i thought but I'm not taking the risk now.
