[WillG]

Im polishing my compressor housing atm, what a boring job that is, I did first layer of rought ally oxide pads and I thought bollocks I wish i didnt start this now but I had to carry on then or it would of looked stupid. im down to fine wet and dry tonight hope to get mops and autosol on it over weekend and ill have some pics up.

[Turbo-Brown]

Aah you know Mr Saville, you down in sussex then?

[WillG]

nah im between cheltenham and gloucester just 20 min north of bristol, near south wales, it cost £8 to send him head was 12kg apprently, I sent it them becuase they are catcams dealer and I wanted him to check the bearing in the head at the same time, think ill drive the block down one friday and visit cousins in london over weekend it will be too much hassle to post that.

[Jon_Bmw]

If you are only 20mins north of bristol I shall have to come and see your progress at some point.

[WillG]

yeah your welcome probly be a couple of months before its worth checking progress

[Jon_Bmw]

Tell me about it mate, mine took me 4 months of casual work to do mine. I will see it at some point i'm sure, perhaps even lend a hand as there is no reason why every m20 shouldn't be boosted

[WillG]

Polished my turbo, looks better in sun light the flash makes it look wierd.



Stripping car to rolling shell next.

[maxfield]

That looks great

[TW166Y]

how much has this turbo engine cost so far buddy? im loving this idea... i too have a touring and i want more ummffff

[WillG]

Got custom cam and welded head back from QEP today

Cam is 273, 11.5mm lift, 114 centreline/overlap

V V nice Will, how much for the welding in the end ?

Holset looks superb, what made you pot for the 40 over the 35 in the end dude >?

[WillG]

Good clean, weld and skim was about £100 but im not sure i like how much holes have been closed up even tho head gasket only flows this much i think the volume of water jacket might of been reduced abit to much, when i go to get block i might ask them if they can port them out abit more to match the block.

The turbo was just bought on the moment after watching the robins m20 vid, would prefer a 35 now cos i know it would make power i want, but ill see if i can handle the lag before i decide to swap

What are the wheel sizes Will?

My H1C has a 50/82mm compressor & 67/63mm exducer.

You can compare to mine if you like, the other night I actually had some boost @ 3k, well about 4psi then full bang @ 4k! But even without boost the car seems faster than before. I'm on a 18cm2 housing.

Mark.

[WillG]

59mm compressor inducer and 19cm^2 exhaust housing, didnt measure compressor exducer before i put compressor housing back on at work and its a snap ring one so you need some monster £100 ratchet snap ring pliers to fit it, lucky someone had some as snap rings that size arent common.

[Ant]

Any update Will ?

I just bough an HX35W for mine

compressor 56/86 double entry type
turbine 58/72 with a wastegated 17cm/3 housing

should fall between your -40 and Fozzys H1C in response time, should be pretty lag free on the log, although I need to alter that sligtly with a standoff plate.

May yet swop to external W/G, the actuator is somewhat in the way on the existing housing

those snap rings sure are hard work to remove, made my fingers numb when it finally popped

Mattias would be proud, more "royal Elite Club Members"

[gcorky]

is that from ebay Ant?

[Ant]

Yes G, was listed very badly, so I snatched it

Sorry mate, were you watching it ? 37 watchers but £Â£Ã‚£ talks as always

[WillG]

Well im making my collector right now just taking a break, i got 1 side of the split pulse done, will be all tacked up today and ill take it into work and weld it up, waiting on flanges to jig it up and weld pipes in between. Looking to buy intercooler and ECU soon then ive got everything for engine sorted once bottom ends finished.

Nice turbo but yeah those rings are a bitch lol

[WillG]

lol ok here is photos of rear quater and boot lip removed, rear quater was unreapairable becuase bro decided to drift roundabout at 90 mph after arguement with GF and hit back end on lamp post (idiot) and the lip for seal was too rotten to mess about with so i just cut one off a good e30 at scrap yard heres the pics, new quater panel and boot lip is now positioned and tacked and will post pics tommorow evening once its all welded up.

Glad its finished can get on with my touring now, it was big job and the worst part was BMW thought they had to braze everything possible and it was a pain to clean off

Oh yeah and he wanted a full respray on ths car before he wrote it off that the only reason we didnt buy another car and swap stuff over

[RichIS]

what sort of power are you hopeing for ?

[WillG]

about 400hp, wont be driving it all the time, ive got a mk3 golf I drive to work, what colour is your IS rich I might of seen it about

[RichIS]

my IS is diamond black mate but i doubt you've seen it as it been sat on drive for 2 months only been taken for mot a couple a weeks ago but just got to get a new door now to fix her now as just bought a wing . 400bhp sound fun for an touring is it going to be standard looking

[WillG]

My touring has factory mtech2 kit, getting respray and tints, BBS 17", and will probly be on air bags if not 60mm spings and bilsteins.

Bros car ready for bodyshop



Better be careful this time he managed to write off (buckled or cracked) all 4 of his 17" alpina replicas which is why hes got my stock BBS on

[Morat]

wow, you're not scared of welding are you!
Impressive.

[WillG]

Thanks, im welding up my own split pulse turbo manifold next, most of the collector is done and its lookin smooth.

[Ant]

Looking good Will, nice repair on the E30 too dude.

I lurve welding, really appeals for some reason , I must be mental

[WillG]
