#1: Mattie® R3 Turbo /END Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2010 4:32 pm ---- Well i know a few people will have been waiting for this so her we go.
The Spec:
Pug 106 GTi 1.6 16v Engine 120bhp standerd.
T3 Turbo
Bailey DumpValve
Fully Stripped
Bucket Seats
Oil Cooler
SRS 4 Point Harness
Group N Gear Linkages
Custom Headgasket
C4 VTS Calipers
C4 VTS Discs (302 x 26mm)
S/S Turbo Manifold
Bosch 380cc Injectors
GTi Rear Axle
Alot more that i carnt think of off the top of my head
So i have a nice little 1.6 8v XS started of like this
Then this is the most recent photo
Then the engine decided it didnt really like me anymore it is only just shy of 100,000 mile mark,
So Tarmac-Terrorist said hey why not make it into a track car seen as it is in nice words f****d
So thats were the plan started and is starting on its way to be a turbo track car.
Pic of the engine semi-stripped
Bottom end, hmmm Pistons
Double over head cams ( just like a golf )
Head getting a well needed clean
Just before the strippage,
After strippage of the rear, still front too do,
And no that aint PS i love you in the car
UPDATE 20/2/10
Finished stripping for now
And this is all that came out,
Update 26/03/2010
Well the front end needs to come out to make it easier to access the engine bay and what not
Out came the easy parts, lights and grill
Then the passenger side wing, yes this was a b1tch to get out
And then the drivers side, equally as awkward
And then the front bumper, but as is the usual case the last torx bit to take out decides to round off So out came the Makita
And off she comes
Sp Grill for sale aswell guys
Also that weird black cross member came out
And then the fan/radiator housing came out
Well Today James (Tarmac-Terrorist) decided to pay a visit and get the engine onto the floor atleast,
First thing first was to get rid of the rad, battery and all wireing out the way
Out came the power steering, manifold and s***ty T2
And then the rest of the ancillaries
The car then started too bleed, dont think it wants to loose ot mojo
Onto axle stands now and the engine onto a jack
We struggled with the passenger side driveshaft and strut, James got mad and out came the hacksaw
After lots of meesing about with engine mounts we finally got the engine onto the floor and physically off the car

#51: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 1:26 pm ---- wossner pistons for a turbo... they do a 9.0:1 CR just for the 16V engine for a turbo application
Lot of money though and for a mere £599+ vat you can have a set of forged rods
I can get a small discount on those prices

The head will be getting skimmed, and all new internals are getting bought, all 16 valves are bought now, will be going to pug to get some springs and see about some hydraulic lifters.
#61: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2010 5:35 pm ---- I could probably get you the lifters 2nd hand, same guy that sold you the cooler has a GTi in bits!

#63: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2010 5:39 pm ---- most of mine are okay just 10 of them are solid, if he has 10 that are usable then yea Jamie let us know.
Not too sure about that mattie yet, think i will be just re-newing it all with the lowered compression will be okay if i dont run too much PSI

id definately go for the bottom end bolts from arp mate as its easier to do them with the engine in bits imo.Think they need to be countersunk though!
Loving the reading of this though mate, it will be a monster when its done!

erm im not sure about £30-40 maybe aslong as they still move then they'll be right.
thought about the head, wasnt to sure about it seen as its been forced in i dont think it will make a difference

to be honest theyre needed for higher revving cars but with a turbo conversion id go the safe route and give the bottom end as much strength as possible so you dont throw a piston after a broken big end shell/bolt.

Cheers mate,
Ive had a nosey at yours aswell and am keeping a eye out on yours and Jamies for updates
Just started off as a idea, but me and James have some technical knowledge so i dont see point in paying a garage loads of money when we can do it free
I managed to get myself a daily drive so this can stay off road for a while

Im definatly considering this mate,
Reading the website it looks ace, i have no idea what it say RSTuning use this aswell which helps sell it I trust Paul at RST and i know he will only use the best
#113: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 4:57 pm ---- Rst made it with tdf. Ex pectal/ex Cosworth, Matt at tdf is probably better than Paul, not that you'll believe me...
