I bought the car a good few year ago now from a lad called cliffden it was still funning the G charger R1 spec, looked like this,

I then got bored so sold the standard charger and fitted a eaton charger with a front mount i/c

I ran it like that for a year or so and then melted a piston

So i then went onto going 1341cc rebore with forged pistons and rebuilt the whole engine with all vag parts.

it then looked like this,

fitted 280mm brake conversion, compomotive 15" wheels and afew other bits and pieces.

i ran it like that till around 15 month ago to wich my newman camshaft snapped! too a few valves with it so was a goood excuse to start buying parts to make it better again, so i sold all my eaton charger and kit with other bits to fund my new parts,

k03 turbo

turbo manifold

DTA standalone management

helix paddle clutch

oil cooler

rear axle bushes

jabba heat shield and cotten green air filter

my mate sleaved my drive shaft

some 300mm 4pot brakes

top mounts

vernier cam pulley from cat cams

cat cams turbo spec cam shaft

water injection

slim line fan

so i got to start on the car.

stripped the engine down and rebuilt it again

bought a PPP subframe/wishbone conversion and fitted it

fitted brakes and also had some coilovers made up

got another head and sorted it

built the head up with new tappets and the cam plus pulley fitted it to the block along with the turbo

i then fitted the engine plumbed in the intercooler to the turbo and oil cooler also a seperate rad for the turbo water cooling

got my comps refurbed

got some track wheels with some slicks fitted

then got some motorbike throttle boddies to modify and fit to my inlet

cut my standard inlet up

tig welded to my inlet flange so the inlet rubbers could be fitted

couldnt use the standard fuel rail

so made another

started to modify the plenium

sizing up

fitted and fitted the dump valve

modified the angle of the boost pipe

made a blank to fit where the dizzy went

then fitted coil pack just a mock up really

thats as many pic's as i have on my phone, i have more on my camera of fitting other things.

what are peoples thoughts?

it might not make a big performance difference but i just wanted to do something different and interesting.

will be mapping it soon and should be all sorted to take to leeds vw festival for a run out.

cheers

That is beautiful mate..

Can't really say much more than that, the inlet looks like a work of art..

nicely done!

Dimz

my word, thats awesome!!

hats off to you mate, thats some good engineering!

top job, good to be different

i admire you dedication to do that, well done as it really shows all that work youve put into that has paid off

I'm very very impressed mate. il be ditching my PSD eaton soon and doing the same turbo route.

what power do you think you will get? should be good- getting an equal flow of air and fuel in each cylinder should make it run really well.

should be around 200 mate, ill be happy with 200 anyway, i also have a nos kit but dont think ill bother using it now. its running now! should be getting mapped soon

This looks awesome Lance.. how will you be controlling both the turbo and itb's management wise? standalone/emerald I'm guessing? very intregued about this setup!!

il be keeping a close eye on this - this looks fantastic

i am running dta fast standalone mate. should be mapping it tomorrow, gonna map it on low biist for a month or so first to run it all in

skills

its getting close now, some more pics,

welded in a v band so exhaust comes off easy when engine needs to come out

exhaust done, 2.5 inch stainless

standard lookin tailpipe

pulled my loom to bits for the dta loom

and injured myself with a nasty burn so slowed me down a bit

Cars looking amazing mate i love your set up..

Thought you weren't far off from getting it MOT'd with the Eaton?

Be interesting to see how you get on with DTA Lance! You using it for boost control too? Should have some pretty sharp throttle response with the bike bodies too. :)

I'm not far off andy - should be next week when i get the time off.

just the bloody noise from that charger is going to wake the dead and not just my neighbours when i go to work at 6:30am - need noise reduction

Looks spot on, very impressive setup. Well done!

its on the road now! i will be running the boost controll through the ecu once i have ran the engine in. just running it in on 14psi, it made 164bhp on a simple map just to run it in on, haven't got the water injection on the go yet or touched the vernier cam pulley. ill be mapping it properly on 21psi with everything in a month or so time. to be honest its impressive as it is now, builds boost so fast, and you're right andy the throttle responce is crazy fast!

thanks for the comments everyone, it will be at leeds for vw festival.

Epic work dude get some videos up!

long time since a update,

well i decided to keep the G40 and do what i planned on doing, thats going with a bigger turbo.

i found a gt2560r turbo an went about fitting it.

sold my comps as i fancied something a little different,

went with OZ route's

refurbed

stickers on and fitted to my very dusty G40

after that it went to my mates workshop,

made up the 3" down pipe v-banded on both ends fully tig welded,

fitting was rather tight,

fitted a few more bits relocated the actuator and wired the fans into the ecu.

also tig welded a cam cover breather fitting and hose to a catch tank.

on the dyno for mapping

and the result,

am happy with that. the turbo is a little big on the hot side so little laggy but not bad really.

it was also wheel spinning so johnny that was mapping it worked out its around 258bhp so all good.

bodyshop next for fresh paint.

cheers.

mods are welcome to move this into build threads if they want.

cheers

Wow that's awesome haha!

yoof needs to up his game!

this car has nothing on yoofs. this is more of a home build to be honest. his will be way better on track than mine.

am happy with it though. other than bodywork thats it now. i'll be selling it next year for money towards a house that i want.

Holy Fucking shit!!!!!

This is incredible!!!

haha i know, i was talking power wise, its the most powerful g I've seen! didnt even think 250 odd bhp was possible!

yoofs is a complete weapon haha
