Not sure tbh. It's on a 67mm pulley and standard bottom one but he was adamant it would make 7psi until the plate warped and let all my boost out lol

So just to update this. Some may have seen my thread in the engines section but the day after mapping, i developed a knock which turned out to be a big end bearing





Thankfully i caught it in time. Crank was fine after a polish, rods were fine and the mains were fine so fitted new big en bearings and 2nd time lucky. Got it up and running with a oil pressure gauge fitted which would not stop leaking but finally i have stopped it! Sunday, took it for a nice country drive (only easy going as I'm still bedding it in) but was great fun with bags more torque low down. Did a 50 mile drive, drew a fair bit of attention with the whine lol and for once, it wasn't me who broke down!



Overall, going well so far!

Next step is a new fuel pump, pull the engine loom out to tidy up then carry on running it in the remapping. Oh and a new charger manifold that doesn't leak!

Fair play to him if it works but i would just always have something in my mind thinking how much of a pikey am I! lol
Ive used a bit of 3mm rubber which seems to work well.

Oh, also ordered a new air filter and fuel pump today so just got to design a new charger outlet then it can go back for mapping again

I was informed of this thread last night, i thought id pay for some membership and fight my corner! Firstly cracking thread niall once you get through the teething issue your be fine, i had all the same issues. Im glad to see some one else giving it ago and not following the rotrex trend.
Right secondly my cork gasket is great and i got it from dans kitchen as hes a fan of cork place matts, allen maybe you could sell your cork to him to replace the place matt i stole.

Just seen this.
Thanks Stef! I must admit, i rarely update this compared to my thread on OC but you get the general idea. Anyway, update!

Several problems arose from the mapping. Firstly, fuel delivery issues. Turns out my pump was on its way out which made sense as it has made some funky noises in the past. So, i bought a Walbro 255 pump and got it fitted. I have only taken it for a quick drive to make sure it works but so far so good!



Next up is the charger outlet. Originally, it was going to head straight down to the bottom of the rad and under the expansion tank to the IC but i cocked up with my measuring and when we fitted the engine, i had to turn the plate around 90 degrees meaning i had to pikey a twin pass and run a pipe all the way around the back of the rad then along the front. this presented a problem of intake temperatures of 50 degrees! Also, because i made the original outlet from steel and the charger is ally, they expanded at different rates and its actually bucked the plate causing a boost leak! So, new charger plate has been designed and has been sent to a few people for quotes to be made out of ally



And the new route the pipe will be taking which will avoid the intake temps, a long run and less places to leak boost





The recirc valve will then be moved down to the pipe from the IC so its releasing cold air back to the charger rather than hot air like it currently is.

Once all of this is done, time for mapping again and then hopefully i will make the correct power!

Very nice Gotta love it when you can call on someone in the club to knock you up something

Certainly agree there mate I'm on PS3's all round now and wouldn't have anything else for a road tyre.


Good progress there Niall, I've heard of people using 2 dump valves on these before so hopefully that's what the problem is. Either that or get yourself a massive one with a big trumpet outlet should relieve enough boost.


Lovely bit of tig welding in that outlet plate from Allan
