Nismosteve's red GTi

[Nismosteve]

No problem some feedback wouldnt go a miss

Cant wait to see this built, just shout if you need anything. Im sure between me and Jerk you'll be sorted in no time

Aaagh you must think I'm so ignorant, I didn't even see that feature my bad. I'm still a noob and I'm sticking to that story

Not too much left to get, kinda blew next weeks budget this week on injectors and the turbo lol! Gotta get this built up and repainted while I'm still single!

 

[Liam]

Nah its alright, npt many people use the feedback thing anymore anyway.

Good good, will be nice to see this progress, what sort of boost are you looking to runZ

 

[Nismosteve]

Hopefully somewhere around the same level you had, maybe a little less. See how that works out.

 

[Liam]

Id say 15psi max while you're running a stock elbow. Get a 3" Custom Phil item on there and it'll run 22psi all day

 

[Nismosteve]

Remember its running a stock bottom end and head gasket and I'm not sure how these cams are going to react to boost?

 

[rowdy-GTi]

S3s are apparently good for boost.

 

[Nismosteve]

Not sure about the lift but the duration isn't dramatically wild over standard and considering its not had any management revisions its got rock solid idle, so I guess it will be okay. Suck it and see.

 

[Liam]

Yeah 20psi is fine on a stock engine, keep on winding it up. Only one way to find out the limit.

 

[Nismosteve]

If the gearbox doesn't decide it would like to wear the teech from 3rd gear in a neat pile on the bottom of the casing at 1 bar lol.

 

[Liam]

Get out, you'll be fine!!

 

[Spyke]

Ha. Mine was fine for almost 10 months. GTi box isn't really that strong though.

 

[Liam]

You were running pussy boost, must have been granny shifting instead of double clutching like you should.

 

[Spyke]

You broke the car like a faggot before anything could break.

 

[Liam]

At least i was man enough to handle 20psi.

 

[Spyke]

At least i was man enough to handle 20psi.

Bullshit asshole, I would be running 20psi if you hadn't sent me some broken injectors.

PS, no one likes the tuna here.

 

[Liam]

You cant just jump in the ring because you think you can box.

He knows i can box.

 

[mera red gti]

''he was in my face''

 

[Nismosteve]

This is why I love it here

 

[Nismosteve]

I thought the standard GTi brakes were good, but after a "spirited" drive on Saturdayi had overheated them in about 5 minutes and they took forever to come back. I think BEFORE this is boosted I need to address this.
It would really depress me if I took to the track with the standard brakes. Just one application from 120mph to 45mph was all it took. I'd never get a single good lap out of cadwell with these lol!

I'm going to be powder coating the hubs I have that have already been shot blasted, then I'll fit 2 new wheel bearings and get 2mm milled off the mounting lugs and 2mm off the caliper carriers so I don't need to space the disc fro the hub.

That was probably down to your brake fluid, then your pad compound. Run dot 5.1, or a race fluid, HEL braided line, standard discs and some yellowstuff pads. Redstuff if you're fussed about brake dust. This set-up would be fine on a n15 with some weight saving.
