going to be an interesting summer....what sort of power will you be aiming for? i have probably missed it if someone asked before!

will you be going to the VW/Audi trackday at castle combe on 26 july?

nice one matey

theres another afh turbo?

I've seen it somewere before, cant remember were. but its definatly not the first!

thers quite alot of lupos with a turbo or a charger... its not an afh but a very simular engine and I'm sure the principles of hte engine are the same...

think what puts most people off is the box but youve solved that problem but obviously not cheap like some cars like a vr6 were the charger just bolts on

and you just sort the mapping....

the VR6 conversions are not cheap mate, the chargers cost a fooking bomb

haha

Hahaha i dont really bother with elite-tion38 anyway

Tobes, it will be a very small club

loving the install in the back, looks well trick and that engine looked fuckin mahoosive in the first shot without the front end of the car on, looking really good, not a fan of bbs but its deffo ties in with the look so fair play

good luck with it all g

cheers guys

But its alot cheaper than getting a high compression engine to run a turbo at a good level of boast, thinking of things like turbo cams upraded con rods cyclinders valves etc where as the vr6 is much more bolt on and away you go as it is already low compression, i dont really know much more about the vr6

Great car though mate massive respect to you for going all out on it.

gonna b a hell of a car

I really need more info on this Harv, like the actual parts used.

And Slough, where abouts coz I used to live there!

Pm me if you prefer!

This is the engine you got from Jez isn't it? The ex-Pinky one. Where'd you get the replacement rods from?

Any pics of the 6-speed 'box installation?

I'm sure its cheaper than converting a high compression engine to run reliably on boost.

no more pics for the moments guys

i got the rods and arp bolts from the engine shop in thurrock

harv

nice nice nice

you said you where going the wrap the 8inchers with 165/50 got any pics of that yet?

yeh 165's are on order from mytyres as soon as they arrive they will be on

thanks for comments

harv

This car is mental. Love it

Nice effort with the turbo conversion, there not that easy with polo's, regarding space.

I was planning to turbo my valver, thought about the cost, then brought a vr6. been happy ever since.

Hope it goes well.

Which turbo and exhaust manifold are you using ?

garrett t25 and custom e mani

how much did the manifold set you back ?? cause i know you can get them pre-fabricted from germany to take KO3's

garrett t25 and custom e mani

The one in all the pics is not custom, it is part of a kit.
