Another point to add is that once you have blown a head gasket is they always seem much easier to fail in future. Reason for this is the engine was built exactly as it should be with exactly the surface finish it should have from new. You'll not manage that yourself. My post above is regarding...

Loads and loads of crap on the internet about this. All theory some practice and almost zero relevance other then general knowledge to this thread. Couple of points: Running your level of boost should NOT result in head gasket failure Failure of head gasket means you cannot use a metal head...

Bosch 044 is really too much. 070 is a more sensible choice. I have fitted pumps under the car on MA carb to INJ cars. You can do this too. Its quite easy way to solve the problem without removing the car.

Its really simple. Say you want to achieve X amount of boost. Turbo doesn't make X amount until Y rpm. So you use a supercharger to reach X boost beneath Y rpm, at which point the supercharger is no longer needed. Turbo's work on exhaust gas & due to the supercharger, the turbos normal boost...

You spool a turbo by exhaust gasses not inlet gasses.

Wow, I wonder why VW designed their system so that the turbo can offer no assistance to the supercharger... Stupid VW engineers...

It just needs programming correctly polly. The ECUs will be different versions.

All K11s are type 4

Not surprised. Cars can vary quite a lot. I've setup these cars for races without mapping the ecu just with engine bay tweeks and had easily these gains. Only need a deg or two on timing, on some K11s will do this (and some do work better than others). I gotta say I trust that dyno, just...

Forget decompression plate, it just needs mapping correctly.

lol...

Just wanted to add my thanks to you Kev for your work over the last few years. You have done a fine job proven by the fact I managed and was able to keep well out of your way and the club is still going strong as a result. I'll make this clear as I did back then, it was a TOUGH decision to...

I don't get your point on any of that post above at all? How does it relate to the topic/normal person in the real world? That doesn't even make sense? Why would you want to counter a fuels resistance to detonation? Cetane by definition relates to diesel fuel, and is of no relevance here at...

Why? When does your turbo make say 6psi boost. Polly if I may, you seem to have so much theory in your head it confuses matters and perhaps dare I say it causes you some of these problems shown in this thread? Your playing with turbo's where in reality lower boost and higher boost efficiency...

Evos are cool Fusion gets a lot of them these days. :) You know somone somewhere put the entire running gear from an early evo into a k10 micra. That was an epic build.

You know polly, you would have been better just to get an untouched engine and put it in on low boost. the labour you have put into this and all the problems simply blows my mind.

Ah fair play. I'll be doing one of these soon. Will be interesting to compare notes. I'll be following this with interest :)

Nice work, scary amount of cutting on the chassis though. Was there really no other way of moving the engine over a bit?

This thread is closed for now for the following reasons: 1, non constructive discussion (ego bashing) 2, the project can be followed elsewhere, for those interested. 3, seen it all before and quite frankly its boring. The dangle the carrot in front of your audience all the time but never...

Your using the MSC to advertise it, what would you expect, of course people will visit!
