its looking grand is that

Wow brad you said that without moving your lips. Its your build mate, your car, your money, make your own decisions and don't be led by those who've never been there and done it. I'm not going to enter into this discussion any further, you asked a question and I gave my opinion based on my...

All looking good dude. Just to add my two penneth, I would go for a T3 turbo anything less just isn't worth the expense or ball ache of building such a beast. If you want it to be properly quick you can't go conservative. Thanks for that Mark, much appreciated. Believe me I tried very hard to...

It is a shame & I have worked my nuts off to get it this far, the only consolation is that I have driven the car at least, I know many projects that never get moving, I daily drove my car for over a year and thankfully I lived to tell the tale! It really was epic, I've never driven anything like...

Well after much deliberation and with a heavy heart its time for me & my Audi to part company :3sadwalk: The car will be broken for parts, everything must go. I will start a for sale thread soon enough. Tis a sad day but needs must and all that. Its time to move onto pastures new. If anyone is...

Alright there mate. My rear brakes are B5 RS4 items, discs, calipers & cables etc. They aren't strictly two piece discs but they do have aluminium centres i think there 312mm discs :icon_thumright:

Cheers mate. Yes that sounds possible, you did well finding me! Im properly tucked away. Was it you valeting the silver Peugeot thing? Either way you should have come and said hello, I would have popped the kettle on and broke out the hob nobs :thumbsup:

I wouldn't bother with the eBay monkey metal manifold, there not fit for purpose if you ask me. Whilst you could weld it WHEN it cracks, you will only make it prone to cracking in the heat affected zone of the weld repair and thus will be forever welding it! Only my thoughts but its got ball...

Cool cool, sounds like your good to go then dude. I think the clearance issues are well known with I.E rods but I'm unsure with others, I do know that the rod shape/design dictates whether a bore notch is required. The other thing to be sure of is the cylinder 4 oil jet has plenty of clearance...

No worries. 2-3mm is plenty so no prob's there. What clearances have you measured at the crank mains & big ends? When I said get the crank polished not to make it shiny but to square the journals up, if you plastigauge the bearings you will see there probably not that flat, that ABF crank has...

I'm guessing you haven't managed to rotate your rods through 360 yet on the stroker crank? It tends to be which rods you use that dictate the bore notch, just don't run anything too close, stuff becomes quite floppy when your spanking it, it was strongly recommended to me by Pete at Integrated...

I have some that will give you an idea, its not for the faint hearted lol, I think it also depends which rods you use. Have you got someone lined up to grind your intermediate shaft? I think it needs roughly 5mm off the back side of it. The crankcase walls also need taking back slightly...

Just had a quick catch up, looks like you've had a hard time of it mate, still it looks like your getting there now hey! I hope the ECU swap gives you what you need, I take my hat off to you pal, my patiences would have run out long ago, credit to you for sticking with it :hi:

No real reason other than to lower the compression slightly so I can run more boost and timing. When it was on the dyno it was mis-firing badly under high boost (30PSI) and it was put down to the higher than usual compression, it tested quite high (can't remember what numbers now) still did...

Thanks for the kind words everyone, helps keep me motivated. Its getting more & more difficult finding the pennies to keep moving the project forward but its getting there slowly. So time for a long overdue update, this is going to be a bit of a photo dump! Enjoy. Since the last update, I've...

Increasing turbos in stages!!! I'm guessing that was there suggestion lol. Are they trying to milk you dry? Sounds like there trying to make your user name a reality! I think you have to be prepared to give up some grunt down low to make power that starts with a 7, it certainly won't feel like...

Cheers dude. I guess we all start somewhere, there was a time i didn't a thing about cars! The more you do the more you learn I suppose. I haven't done much lately as I moved house and im in the middle if sorting out my new workspace ready to move all the goodies from the old garage to the new...

100,000+ Views, Christ! So time for another slow progress update, the list is getting shorter & shorter. Continuing on with the inlet manifold mod's, I turned down some weld on AN fittings, they usually come with a fairly hefty shoulder which would have looked naff, so decided to tidy them up...

Cheers mate, I hope one day I get to chase that 750HP monster of yours around the track, just for the noise :thrashi:

Dude, I doubt he cares what MPG it acheives, if he did he wouldn't have bought a TTRS in the first place!
