Do explain :/I'm thinking mount the water pump/ clutch to the alternator , job done lol
Or did I miss sarcasm

You mean mod the VW water pump/eclutch assembly?Remove the water pump part of the clutch, attach the clutch assembly ( 2 pulleys on it)
The solid state pulley to run alternator ,and clutched pulley to power charger
Its an unexplored avenue so I guess someone's gotta try itRemove the water pump part of the clutch, attach the clutch assembly ( 2 pulleys on it)

aye, 6k belts on the mini,s ehAnothing thing to consider is the type of belt used. Alterbator etc use V-belts whereas sc's need a 5rib belt iirc... a v belt might not take the strain for long (as I think Frank alluded to in a previous post)
GAs dont have slots for V beltsAnothing thing to consider is the type of belt used. Alterbator etc use V-belts whereas sc's need a 5rib belt iirc... a v belt might not take the strain for long (as I think Frank alluded to in a previous post)
and thats @ 2:1 ratio, if neil is planning a 4:1 ratio then 8 or 10k would be neededaye, 6k belts on the mini,s eh
I highly doubt it. GA16i was only engine to use a V belt. All others use 5 rib beltsPretty sure both my belts are V's, was planning on moving all onto one like you, grind off the outer most pulley space and weld on a 3 rib belt pulley to run the sc
It will depend on which s/c he uses in the end.and thats @ 2:1 ratio, if neil is planning a 4:1 ratio then 8 or 10k would be needed
Oops, you're right:I highly doubt it. GA16i was only engine to use a V belt. All others use 5 rib belts

Need more info on the VW tsi system
ebay is listing a 6pk belt for the tsi ehI highly doubt it. GA16i was only engine to use a V belt. All others use 5 rib belts

Know me GA16s yoOops, you're right:

A 5pk should be sufficient for our application. They have the S/C runnng continously where ours will be turned off at approx 3.5k and less stress on the beltebay is listing a 6pk belt for the tsi eh
YES NEILWell , I'm going for a m24, jus sorting out a deal for now
Found a clutch pulley for £15
thats why you need a wider belt tho 4:1 pulleys = less belt contact, the tsi is nearer to 2:1A 5pk should be sufficient for our application. They have the S/C runnng continously where ours will be turned off at approx 3.5k and less stress on the belt
YES NEIL
Increase belt tension?thats why you need a wider belt tho 4:1 pulleys = less belt contact, the tsi is nearer to 2:1
You my friend are a legendSomeone gotta give it a of after all this lol
If it fails , sod it
I'd say so just for attempting itHaha, not quite yet!
Beware of many of questions coming everyone's way
Why am I excited?Sold!!
Bought charger and clutch.
Should be here by end off next week
Not bad moneyM24 from tsi £200
Clutch pulley £15
Sweet. Its near xmas aint it people will take whatever. Best time to buy I guessMine was by far the cheapest I could find
Was going for £350, but offered that and went for it
Oh dear pork what have we all done...lol.
Couldn't have said it better myselfCorrupted my poor innocent mind !
Haha, #### it, somthing to do ain't it
I get bored to easily, and it's things like this that entertain me
Says the one also staring in his engine bayOh dear pork what have we all done...lol.

Its surprisingly easy to do.I'm already a lost cause though
In fact i was wondering a few months ago how hard it'd be to join up two k11 engines to make an 8 cylinder + boost, you'd be forced to go rwd / modify the front end a bit but that's a minor detail. Again no good reason haha.
Its surprisingly easy to do.
If you have an engine over each axle
The only problem is the gear linkage to a rear mounted engine
I took part in a twin engined saxo. 2 VTS engines. It was boosted too
I already have many ideasI was thinking flywheel attached to second engines pulley, but that's for another day haha. Its been done with other engines no problem so all in all pretty easy minus space issues.
and have a top speed of 50I already have many ideas
Mount it to a GA16 box as its stronger.
Mount it sideways in the middle. Use the 2 driveshafts to drive a diff each and have 4WD
Why 50?and have a top speed of 50
just if you're geared to do 140 oit of the ga box and then you stick a (for example) 3:1 diff on the end of each driveshaft you'll be dropping your speed by a third ehWhy 50?
Been done successfully before
The diff we used must have been a 1:1 thenjust if you're geared to do 140 oit of the ga box and then you stick a (for example) 3:1 diff on the end of each driveshaft you'll be dropping your speed by a third eh
