Looking smart!!! love it

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

excellent look oli

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Looks very smart

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

looks low on fuel

Looks good, might be the camera angle but is there space to get the air hoses past the rad?

Awesome build - watching this with interest. I contemplated the TU route, I think it is a great idea. VTR box will be nice ratios on 10s, basically makes it the same standard saxo VTS gearing on OEM 15"s. Or use the VTS box and this makes it the same gearing as the 106 1.3 Rallye which gives you about ~120ish mph @7250 in top - but you probably know this already!

There was a guy at retro rides at pod the other month in a citroen AX.. he was doin crazy passes at 12/13 seconds iirc when i went had a nose afterwards it was just a vts lump with vtr head? Preferred it i think he said? All standard internals n car was stripped out. I was impressed

thanks re the trans it depends, the earlier cars use the j4 engine and the ma boxes are cable clutch and manual rod linkage

Mines a later c4 engine also c2/c3 a jp4 engine which is slightly different, the ma boxes on these are hydraulic clutch and cable shift.

There are dozens of final drive ratios and gearsets to go from mild to wild-mines at the total wrong end of the spectrum as its a c4 box for 16 inch wheels, 1.1 and 1.4 final drives will give somewhere around saxo ratios depending on the gear set and there are a couple of diesel ratios and gearsets which take it miles the other way, I will probably put a diesel diff in with my gearset to bring it back a bit if I get that far

Well the ax was only ever a 1.4 8v using the Tu3 engine

Assuming its had a transplant its the same 1.6 bottom end on the vtr/vts but I believe the pistons are in the vts are better

I can only assume they use the 8v head on the 16v block either because the 16v head wont fit under the bonnet or they don't want to have to change manifolds and shit?

Theres loads of guides on converting the jP4 to fit the j4 cars but its a weaker engine overall apparently and it lacks 10-15hp as standard, however j4 engines that aren't thrashed to fuck are thin on the ground, my rotary muffler will hopefully make up the power shortage.

I cant help but think the 1.6 8 valve tu5 engine out the later poverty model c4s ect would be great for a road mini/daily driver, loads of cheap low milers about and its nice and small in 8v

Great stuff. and only a hint of over fuelling.

Just in time for winter!

Where was the thumb ?

Too busy coughing your lungs up maybe ?

Must be a great feeling to see it burst into life for the first time.

Yes David, exactly that, i wasn't expecting it to fire tbh as i would have had it outside otherwise. so as soon as it caught i spied the oil pressure gauge shoot round and then got round the front asap so i could check for leaks ect and kind of forgot about making a video lol, then when i cut it off my eyes were stinging so much i couldnt even see my own thumb and was coughing my tits off as you observed.

Great feeling, try and get it finished off now

Looks great oli! Is that fuses in the top of the dash panel, so you can see if they've blown?

Well yes and no, I was just after somat cheap to make a dash but it needed to be up highish so I could reach it with the harness on-so a plastic project box off eBay it was. The fuses are on top, the relays are underneath, all switches gauges ect are together mainly to keep everything in one place to make wiring easier.

Nice!


maybe of interest:

apparently they have a stock internals TU5J4 running 400+ bhp ! it just eats gearboxes.

That sir, is not rust, it is the progressive mass reduction system

Interesting, I've already been warned of the ma chocolate gearbox situation.
