Nice to be here!
Ill keep my projectprogress here, so the first posts will be copy/paste work so things can look a bit weird or some text is kinde confusing, sorro for that
Here goes!
Ive bought a 1994 S16 with a homemade Turbokit , consisting out of VEMS enginemanagement and mapped by DP Engineering, IHI VF35 Turbo, FMIC, homemade 2.5 inch DP, and manifold
Car was mapped @ 280, couldnt go higher because of 100% injector cycle duty, made almost 320BHP on the dynapack @ DP Engineering, but was set down, injectors were to small.
This was also with plastic S16 inletmanifold, stock exhaust!
Inlet is now switched for the alloy GTi-6 and 2.5 inch Simons exhaust.
The car was quite quick, but hasnt been to DP again for a remap along with the 660cc injectors,could make easily 340+ on this VF35 setup... but i had other plans!! pmsl
Heres when ive picked up the car.
IHI VF35 Turbo
Turbo manifold
Downpipe 2.5 inch, its works oke....But we can do better!
Sporting brand new orginal 17" Hockemheims with brandnew Toyo T1R, doesnt look IMHO, so i already sourced a set of 17" black Team Dynamics ProRace 3
Slammed on the ProRace 3s
Looks alot better in the flesh.
Ive redid the 407 Brembos (330mm discs) and put on some new stickers
Looks quite nice behind the black TDs
Since im nog intending on using the VF35 IHI turbo,and a few calls to Pieter from DP Engineering.....Uhmm i bought me some presents for the new project
Tial Q BOV
Tial MVS 38mm Wastegate (yeah baby, SCREEEEEEAAAMERPIPE)
Since theres going to be a custom cage fitted in december, ive already stripped out the rearseats
Some random shots

[b]Testfitting the ALL MIGHTY T16 badge
In the mean time ive also got this....
DP Engineering "Welders Nightmare" Turbo manifold
It came from my friends project car ( ZX 16v Turbo with GT28RS)
GT28RS fitted, versus the new Turbo for this project.... GT3071R :waytogo::waytogo:
DP Engineering 3" Downpipe... i call that thing ANACONDA, is ****ing huge!!!
Both Tials are a true work of art, almost a shame to put them on the car.
In the mean time ive did some small mods to the car already to make it a bit more personal and to my taste
QSP suede racing steeringwheel fitted, along with the new gauges, white facia, and AEM AFR
Testfitting the new seats, (with wood and a brick)
Well enough bulls**t and time to get this project rolling
putting the car on stands
[/b]
[b]Going good!!
Also had some stickers made up, to go along with the T16 Badge, and yes i couldnt wait to try them on..... hahah
Some more goodies
MPM 10w50 RACE OIL
NGK BKR7E pluggs
Welcome to TIAL HEAVEN! small fortune on the table)
Last hour of the evening doing some small things to the car...
Byebye small intercooler
Rad with 2 x SPAL fan
Making progress,loom and VEMS removed
A friend started with my enginecover.
[/b]
[b]He will also make me a new catchcan,and will do some more welding for me
For so far this is it, tomorrow well start to remove the complete engine, i will post new pics this weekend, new intercooler has arrived, also bought some carbon mirrorcaps from SPOOX..
I hope you guys find this interesting and i will update this a good as i can, BHP goal is around 400/420BHP , i think thatll be more than enough in the old Frenchs**tbox
Well,my mate called me on saturday saying he didnt feel that well, so we decided not to work on the car.
spend the evening on the couch watching a movie on the beamer.
New intercooler had arrived , alot bigger then the old one, so lets have a looksy...
Old vs NEW
Will come a bit lower, but lets see how big this baby is
Also attacked the boot with some black rattlecans, it looks a lot cleaner now, will be removing the rest of the boot this week.
Ive decided to keep the frontcarpet, a custom boltin cage will be tailormade next month,still contemplating on what colour for the cage, but the winner for now is white
Still waiting for my carbonfiber mirrorcaps to arrive from Spoon and ive bought a carbonfiber NACA duct for the bonnet
[/b]
[b]Testfitted the IC , and everything seems to fit very nicely
Looking good!
Nick from ANE Sports is coming today to measure the customcage for the 306, and it will be finished in 3-4 weeks... 6 point with some niceness!
Early Xmax present!!
DP Engineering Intake manifold
Ce inside!!!!!!!
THis saturday the engine will finally come out and then we can get this project moving!
Haha QSP steeringwheel is cheaper i think, quality is good!
Mine was used from a previous project, so i had a nice shower with it and a breadknife, rubbed al the grease out with the back of the knife under the shower.
Was the longest shower ive ever had, came out as uncle Tom (blck as fcuk) and the misses kicked my ass for redoing the shower in black instead of nice cleany white,
I forgot to giving the mainthing in this project any credit and that is Mr Garret -->
brandnew GT3071R, spools up 1000 revs sooner than the old GT30 and is offcourse BB.
Where the GT28RS will run slightly out of breath on maxrevs especially on topspeed/highwayruns, this is where the GT30 kicks some serious ass, midrange and topend is great.
Choice was easy... no way in hell ill get my ass handed to me on a highway encounter with mr Porsche
A long with the piece of art intake
Internal Wastegate, we need to weld this baby shut, its common for bigger turbos with internal wastegate to suffer from boostcreep, the I wastegate cant hold boost then in higher gears, and creeps up, causing you to run more boost than you can afford and aah you get the picture.
So thats where the Tial MVS stepps in, they hold boost period! without creeping or whatsoever.
Normal oilfeed for normal turbo
Since this is a Ballbearing turbo you need a reducer
Spot the difference
By not doing this, you can throw your turbo in the bin before even installing is, cause it will be a waste of time, the turbo will not live long!
Friend of mine had this, a new turbo didnt last for 80 miles!!!!!!! just because of not using the reducer.
There goes a nice amount of money into the small bits and pieces like reducer,AN fittings and these kind of things...
AN10 fittings for my modded rockercover
Will be also getting a makeover by using VHT wrinkle paint, very nice stuff!
Last week the duct came in, finish was quite bad, paid some serious money for this and almost kicked it straight into the bin.
Needs some serious sanding and a few new coats of clear, then ill have to see how it comes out and if im gonna use it
Cheers
Well, now with the correct tool for the driveshafts, we had the engine out in notime....
Didnt make pics of that cause we all can imagine what a enginebay looks like without engine... indeed a greasy dirty mess!
When we had the engine out we testfitted the DP engineering stuff along with the turbo, turbohousing needs to be turned... but thats for later... we have to find the best spot for the tial wastegate (to bad you wont be seeing this piece of art)
So not to many flashy stuff for today, but here a some testfitting pics, note engine is very very dirty, and will get a good clean... rockercover needs to be changed for the new one, new timebelt , waterpump etc etc.
Enjoy
DP turbomanifold and 3inch DP downpipe, see how nicely they flow next to eachother without touching.....
Since today also finally my carbonfiber mirrorcaps arrived from Spoox Motorsport... they advertise them real nice with clear coat on them... however you get them @ home without the clear coat so your fcked to to it yourself... so out comes the rattlecan and the hairdryer of the mrs, and lets have a go.
ive testfitted them quick and fitment isnt 100%... i think they look nice when the car is finished , but i think theyre also overpriced like 8 or 9 times!
I wont recommend them for the money thats for sure
Next up is seat fitting, since ive got some OMP basemounts from my mates ZX (gt28rs Turbo) and i want to see if they fit the 306....
Im gonna clean the enginebay next week and hope i can tighten things up a bit.
And going to paint some stuff in the back once again,before the rollcage gets here...
Well me and my mate started with fitting the seats, SPARCO sliderframes... to make a long story short, they fit nicely with some redrilling of the RECARO adapters..
But however since the SPARCO are sliders, they sit 4.5/5cm to high, so im gonna flex the sliderpart of the SPARCO frames,and weld of bolt the RECARO adapters on the base mounts and voila , ive got my 5cm back then...
Here are some pics of the to high sitting seats.... i will tackle that problem this weekend.
Looks good, sit good, but 5cm to high.. that means more work to do
Well been ordering some stuff lately
New timingbelt,waterpump, and some small things... going to bring some stuff away to get welded etc..
Redid my rocker cover with VHT wrinkle black... turned out quite nice!
Bought a D1 spec quick release, very good quality for the money!
and good thing it brings the steeringwheel an additional 65mm closer!
Bought some 63mm alu intercoolerpiping...
And since i like to make some videoclips of an old frenchmeatball blowing the doors of Porsches etc, ive bought myself a GoPro2 Motorsports Edition early for Xmas
Well change of plans,ive bought me some other seats....
Sparco EVO 2 and i absolutely love em!
And ive ditched the new white gauges, and went for the Prosport EVO digital gauges
* BOOST
* OILTEMP
* OILPRESS
* Wideband AFR full kit
Made a new gaugepanel for the prosports that just got in.... just to bad, they forgot to put in the AFR gauge along with the widebandkit :S
First time i saw these gauges i fell in love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfvDBA1DBI0
And ive bought new suspension , the yellow konis that are under the car are perfect! but i need to lower it a bit more , so
KW V2 is on its way...
new pics this weekend!
Also had my wategate Vband welded on the manifold today, great job!
Some quick shots, notice the Evos
We had a nice saturdayevening fiddling around with the car, Superman Marvin came around and did the timingbelt,waterpump etc, we swapped the rockercover, all new gaskets and bits,fitted the new plugs
Old rockercover
Off with it..
Nicely from the inside (engine was revised 7000km ago, so nothing strange here
Nice big haystack is our workingtable... perfect working height
Another fine small workingtable
Worktable opened
Shiny bits.....KW V2 inox
Looking a lot hansomer this old frenchgarlicmeatball
Random cool pic of this epic barn build
Yes! i know i need to clean the place... lol
Time to lay the DP inlet in her bed and call it a night...
Hopefully next week the fullcage gets here... then we can fit it during xmasbreak, gonna tackle the seatframes tomorrow
So more to come soon!
Well ordered a complete SACHS RACE clutch today, wich will take with the HD pressureplate and the 4 paddle sinter/sprung plate 600nm
And ive brought the 18inch wheels to the painter to have them painted in a VAG colour... should be ready on friday and i cant wait to see them finished
Had the tires fitted two weeks ago.. Toyo Proxes T1R in 205/35/18
Pics soon...
The Te37s are painted today, here are two pics the paintshop send me
I will pick them up tomorrow, put on the new decals and then ill make some shots
and no thats not glossy black
Picked up the freshly painted wheels today.. Black magic with a very small bronze metallic, only notice it a bit in the direct sunlight, other then than they look BLACK
Finished one seatframe yesterday evening,going at the other one tomorrow.... tomorrow some more pics
Hahaha umm my girldfriendsdad has got an Old English Mastiff, that guy is 104 kilo!!!! check google for pics!
Well i was enjoying my breakfast when UPS stood @ the door with some presents...
Sachs Heavy Duty platecover
Sachs 4 paddle sintermetallic sprung plate
combine those and those should be good for around 600nm according to SACHS
Jake is right, 205/35/18 Toyo Proxes T1R, the expensive 205 f**kers!!!!!!! :S
Removed the gearbox today with Marvin, we were going to fit the new clutch tomorrow but we checked everything and the crankshaftbearing on the gearboxside is fcked!
I dont think ill have a new one by tomorrow, but who knows.
Went searching for some parts that i could use in my friends garage (ZX turbo GT28RS DP engineering) and came up with 2 boostpipes that are almost perfect for me to use (since its 95% same setup)
Attacked them with some scotchbride, and they look shiny shiny again and yes i need to replace the clamps
Were gonna install the new gauges tomorrow, maybe remove the koni suspension, need to pick up the DP, welded an extra wblamda fitting.
Enough to do
Superman Marvin wired my gauges today, all nice and clean now plugplay trough the radioconnectorplug....
Good thing i dont have to do this myself, cause we would have a nice xmasfire then
The BE4 gearbox converted to normale pressureplate type, instead of the pulltype that the S16 uses... swap a few parts and voila....
Had the 2nd wideband bung welded to the downpipe
What a mess..
Installed the carbon mirrorcaps last week, they dont fit that good, but its a racecar.... so guess well just have to do with it
You can see how dusty it is in the barn, because the haystack is just beside of the car....
Got bored
Some shiny new bits...
Also had a quick testfit at the rear with the new 18s.... i can say.. will look very HOT!!!
This weekend more pics, and one big update! its time to CAGE THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!
Well the cagebuilders send me some pics of the cage in the making...
And ive decided to quit the Turboproject...... cause im going ROCKET BOOST !!!!!! b**ch!
Cage is finished!
Last two pics before paint!
So that is almost 2.5 MONTHS OF OWNING
Tonight theyll bring my cage, and then well fit it during xmasbreak, so expect some nice shots in the few coming days..
Wish you guys already a nice xmas and happy newyear!
