This thing is a monster and my favourite 3door yet. Keep up the good work mate!!!

[rstirl]

Woo woo! Car looks unreal! Well deserved feature. Ill have to buy it!

[jonyb4]

ha well done george, should be a nice little addition, although im not aware of the differenes lol

The AFR was all over the place at the last rolling road so i'm hoping with this lot i'll be able to stabilize it with the modern Siemens and then the air injectors to sort the boost as the amal valve was maxed out

[jonyb4]

sounds like you have it covered, hope it improves, you gonna take it back tot he rollers after these?

[Brammer]

Yes mate i'm just on the look out for a 4x4 inlet manifold before i fit the injectors in but once all the bits are on it'll be back on the rollers (different place next time) i'm not really expecting massive power gains but i'm after AFR coming down and running stable along with the boost, maybe able to squeeze a couple of extra out of it as i have heard that 36psi is possible from this turbo and it's currently peaking 31-32psi and holding 26-28.

[rsonblackwheels]

looks good mate

very tidy indeed

[jonyb4]

seen this on a few cossies now, what exsactly the air injection do then? cooling something im guessing?

I hope this gives you the answer mate

What Are Air Injectors?
Air injectors, are, as they sound, a set of injectors that inject air instead of fuel. They are commonly used to control the boost pressure output by a turbocharger.

How do they work?
The air injectors have an input to the top of them from the turbocharger and an output on the bottom to the wastegate. The injectors are wired to the ecu so they can be controlled.

The ecu air injector map is mapped against boost, rpm and air temperature. The injectors initially stay closed, keeping the wastegate closed too, encouraging the turbo to spin to speed as fast as possible. When the desired turbocharger pressure is acquired during mapping, the injectors are pulsed so that they open at that point, allowing air to flow to the wastegate. This of course opens the gate, bypassing some exhaust gas from the turbine wheel, slowing the compressor and levelling or dropping the boost pressure depending entirely of course on how much air we allow through. The beauty of this system is we can use a relatively weak actuator to achieve very large boost levels and we can accurately program boost curves into the system.

Any downsides?
Yes, if the injectors fail, due to the “Bleed On” configuration, the turbo will run whatever boost it can until something either stops it or something fails due to the fact we have blocked the pipe to the actuator.

oo okay i think im with you, id ask what the actuator does but i think im over stepping my bounds

liking the new sig btw

Well the actuator ..................


Cheers for the comment on the sig, i lke this picture it shows the real height f the car on the rad and makes it look wide


New parts arrived this morning in the post thanks to Paul @ North Yorks RS Spares - 4x4 inlet manifold

I will strip the 2wd unit off the car in the morning ready fo the new item but, i'm having some paintwork done on parts under the bonnet

I'm having these parts powdercoated in Candy red:
End rackets for the strut brace
Throttle bracket
Lifting eyes
Fuel rail
Strut tops
iscv o ring

And these parts in silver:
Middle part of strut
outer & inner inlet manifold
Breather tank
Fuel pump cradle
Turbo damper
Bonnet stay

More updates after the weekend

[filtra]

Not that it's really an issue but I guess you will get better economy and power delivery with the new injectors and boost control.

Posting this from Bocco Del Torro in Panama Couldn't resist posting, stunning car Chris, well impressed.

Not really to fussed about fuel economy as i want the boost turning from 32 to 36 but i guess what you mean is with a direct spray pattern they should be better

Jammy sod

Received my 4x4 inlet off North Yorks Paul (many thanks mate) and my spacer from Reyland Martin again many thanks so i'm sorted for the inlet side of things now, just waiting until after xmas before i send all my bits to the powdercoaters.

The 2wd item has been removed and the first time i've seen inside the ports and........ look like they've had some work, how much i don't know as i don't know what they are like from the factory, anyway this is what i have.......






More updates after xmas

[MAD_Adamski]

dude why you gone for a 4x4 inlet?

[Brammer]

I was advised to due to the s**t flow of a 2wd unit, i'm not chancing massive figures and the 4x4 unit offers better flow, i would have choose a St Escos if i could find one.

[MAD_Adamski]

i see i was tempted to get a inlet like rods as there £500 BUT im gonna see how my ST one goes first no point in spending money where its not needed if the figures come out good, if i decide to sell it i'll let u know

[Brammer]

Cheers Ad, i also looked into the same as rods as for the money it clearly holds up to what 800+bhp but anything other than std Ford equipment needs a live map for the over increased inlet air and didn't want that this year.

Let us know regarding your inlet though mate

[RS rob]

Pictures came through of the shoot - theirs over 100 so i picked which i thought were the best bits - i have to say the photographer Ade did an awesome job

my fav picture, always liked sierra's but the wheels really do it for me!!

[Brammer]

Right this is where it stands.

All the parts will be going to the powdercoaters tomorrow WRC Preston got a quote today which i thought was a fair price £120 all in

These parts in candy red



And these in standard silver









I should have it all in and up and running by the weekend.

[jonyb4]

lol the car looks liek its in your living room there mate

candy red will brighten things up under there

did you say them inlet ports were polished?

[heeman10]

Great bay Chris. I say get the exhaust manifold ceramic coated for 2010

[jayrs]

candy RED eh

the bay looks stunning as it stands now! will look the nuts when it all back together mate

[Brammer]

lol the car looks like its in your living room there mate

did you say them inlet ports were polished?

Well the car is in the garage and we have two living rooms with it being a 3story house and i have adopted the downstairs room as my store room but it's all fine as i'm the man of the house

The inlet ports are opened up, not fully polished but you want the air to tumble in

Great bay Chris. I say get the exhaust manifold ceramic coated for 2010

I was looking at a company to do my Golf wheels in Aeromax and i noticed they also ceramic coat too so why not, maybe sometime in July when i have a couple of weeks between shows.

candy RED eh

the bay looks stunning as it stands now! will look the nuts when it all back together mate

Lets hope Jay, i've tried to be as subtle as i can with the red as i didn't want too chavtastic, i think (he says) it should be an even mix of colours and should (he hopes) work

[jayrs]

i reckon it will look spot on mate

funny you say about too much red, i think i have too much and wanna tone it down so ill have a look at you bay when its done

[Sphinx]

Strange thing to drag up but I take it you got that the crossmember sorted as it looks minty fresh in the pictures?

[Brammer]

Yes mate that was done at the end of the summer, its a very easy job so was done quick

[Ram]

bay looks awsome mate

[Dave G fsi]

Looking really good mate

[Brammer]

Right, carrying on from my thread in general the breather adapter has been knocked up many thanks to a member on the RSOC board



The measurements are as i requested with a 10mm bore which will be enough and keeping 3mm side walls.

No news on the powdercoated stuff as yet i was hoping to be collecting Wednesday so we''ll see.

Just missed out on a set of Brembo's for the front as this needs sorting, the car stops fine on the road but i would like to get it on a track or two this year and the std 4 pots won't stop 400+ going full pelt in a hurry. The seller also has a set of AP 6 pots but i'm not sure if they'll go behind these wheels yet.

More updates soon

[jayrs]

bloody hell mate, dunno if i would wanna put that on the track if it was mine!
dont even wanna out the RS on a track

[jonyb4]

ooh nice

[MAD_Adamski]

you want one of these!

[Brammer]

Ad i have just seen that in your thread and i was intrigued, i have seen another custom setup that requires the battery to be reloated to the boot.

how many fittings into the engine is there?? i have seen the one that Paul has made by Philloy that goes to the front 2 corners of the rocker, the rear, and the normal exhaust and inlet side of the block.

Is this an AH item and what sort of money are they making these for??

Powdercoating update i pick the bits up tomorrow so by Saturday evening i hope most of the engine bay will be built back up - the plan is to get it on the road for the 1st March - can't wait

[jonyb4]

good news mate, will the golf be getting the cold shoulder then?

[Brammer]

good news mate, will the golf be getting the cold shoulder then?

Had other plans for that, i'm going to strip all the good bit's off and replace with standard, sell the car as standard and then sell the bit's and buy a Anniversary TDi
