#33: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: Nimminz, Location: Durham, NE England, UKPosted: Mon May 28, 2012 2:51 pm ---- This looks a very nice project, love the work you've done. The only thing i wondered about is the stainless bolts in the suspension. What tensile strength were the originals? AFAIK even A4 grade stailess is only equivalent to ~6.8 whereas most suspension systems I've worked with are 8.8 at least. Not a criticism at all mate, just wondering.
One of the best projects i've seen on here recently!
#34: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: 205GTi180, Location: DerbyshirePosted: Tue May 29, 2012 2:57 pm ---- If you take a closer look all at the critical bolts (suspension/wishbones/ball joints/ARB/caliper bolts etc) they are all oringinal spec bolts (8.8 and 12.9). The only ones that are stainless on the suspension are the top mount bolts which A4 stainless cap heads are more than upto the job for.
Thanks for bringing it up though as i have seen people using the wrong grade bolts on suspension components.

yer ... what rear beam are you useing .. thers usually x1 or2 309 beams on 309gti goodwood owners forum is boring but some good bits come up..
#37: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: 205GTi180, Location: DerbyshirePosted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 3:44 am ---- 205 beam with 25mm ARB and Bilstein grp n tarmac shocks.
Dont see the point in running a 309 beam without using 309 front end, i wont do that as i have custom shafts already so would need another wider pair.
#38: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: 205GTi180, Location: DerbyshirePosted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:04 pm ---- Here's a few pics and vids from the cars first proper test day at Santa Pod. I managed to pull some good times, was averaging low 13s but my best was a 12.7 @ 117mph.
#39: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:52 pm ---- Amazing. Did you ever done compression test on that engine. If you did can you remember how much bar or psi showed on gauge?
#40: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: v6saloon, Location: ilkestonPosted: Fri Jul 06, 2012 11:38 am ---- Hi mate, ive got a sorrento 205 with the 180 lump, i would love to supercharge it, were all the bits hard to source? Anything that needed fabricating? Any help is much appreciated, here is a pic i159.photobucket.com/a...C00169.jpg
#41: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Jul 06, 2012 12:28 pm ---- nice to see the car and have a chat about the car at fcs, I was with my mate with the 'green monster' 205.

When did you buy that?. As far as i know Lee (repairgeot) bought it back as he originally built it. I heard it was having a v6 fitted now.
#44: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: 205GTi180, Location: DerbyshirePosted: Sun Jan 26, 2014 11:09 am ---- Not updated this for a long time and a lot has changed!!.
The car was running 320 bhp when mapped but had the potential to make a lot more!. With the engine internally standard this was always going to be a test to see how far i could push it. I decided to up the boost and rev limit and it made 374bhp at 12psi (got to love high comp and boost )
Next up is a rear coilover conversion. Many benefits over torsion bars, easy ride height adjustment, options of spring rates, 1-1 damper ratio and save a lot of weight!!
8" wide Revolutions with 225 tyres all round
After 3 more trackdays finally found the limit of the EW10J4S engine
I dropped another standard engine in and restricted the power back down for the Nurburgring and a few more trackdays.
Nurburgring!!
On my last trackday the engine started missing and ran very rough. After checking all electrics etc i did a compression test and found no comp on cyl 1. At first i thought it was the head gasket because i put a camera down the spark plug hole and all looked fine. After pulling the head off i found 1 slightly bent inlet valve??. I can only put that down to high revs and unreliable hydraulic lifters and vvt system.
The recent problem has helped make my decision on which direction i want to go on a new forged engine. Original plans were to build a forged bottom end with standard head as they do flow well. I'm now going down the route of fixed cams (remove vvt) solid lifters, stainless valves etc.
#45: Re: 205 GTI180 Supercharged Author: 206gt160, Location: BlackburnPosted: Mon Feb 08, 2016 3:46 pm ---- Brilliant effort for thia build. Was the car ran on standard gaskets as well as internals? I saw this setup for sale on ebay recently.
