Vwthunders build thread (finally)

[noone]

Can you get a closeup of the FMIC intake section, My lower side grill is held on with a cable tie, interested to see how you's looks up close.

Looking Snappy

It is good, I was thinking I would need to go bigger, but the cooler weather is coming back and it is wheel spining everywhere, cant even take a standard car at traffic lights etc.

Needs a LSD next

I am running a GIAC tune, think it is a K04 Polo tune

You should watch Gavins build up, he will show you what the Frankenturbo can really do

How much power you're making? My car currently in the workshop undergoing turbo change to Frankenturbo F21T kit, Genesis 415cc injectors, full 3" freeflow exhaust and Unitronic Stg2+ tune. Hopefully all is well ...

I had a short run on a dyno, they reved it up a little to 4000rpm and they couldnt get a AFR reading, so they suggested it was taken off the dyno (it was a dyno day). That dyno is known for producing low numbers.
That little squirt on the dyno made 156KW at the wheels i think

Guessing the car would make about 175 180 at the wheels

[firdausasri]

At 4k rpm, you've made 156KW?? That's very impressive indeed considering you're running on K04 maps, little tweak here and there should be netting extra 10-15KW more...

Did some logging with Gavin and it seemed fine. Just going to leave it the way it is.

Maybe some water Meth and a nice big intake manifold would finish it off

Awesome!

I have not done much to the car lately

Still waiting for Recaros from UK, they will come eventually !!!

The Aeroflow can is for my radiator setup, it is a catch tank

Trying to find a spot down low to fit it, started making a bracket today.





Aerocatches, well these are going to be fun to fit. Cant find many writeups on fitting them, but guessing you make two holes and cut the rest with a hacksaw or jigsaw or something




Holesaw

Have a look at Pete Jones race car thread, he put a bit of a detailed write up fitting those catches
