Kevlar may be an option its just a question of how long it will last me.
Thats a shame macj whens your next event?
#167: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Fri Sep 09, 2011 12:55 pm ---- I am tempted to say I will swap you my 10mm dural one for your Kevlar.
Engine power graph on my project thread.....
#168: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Sun Sep 11, 2011 9:36 am ---- Power looks good! I cant wait to do some work to the 180 once I have the sump problem sorted.

My engine is coming back out..... There was a slight noise when I ran it yesterday..... but it has developed into a knock.....I suspect something has come loose inside....... B*****ks is the word I am using at present as this last episode stands me in £1500+

glad you notice this before the event
#174: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:24 pm ---- Another engine bought so bust week ahead gettin it fitted.
IRC Scotland is the next event so not long to get it all fixed!
Have had my proflex made 65mm longer so should raise the car up a bit and stop the sump being smashed
#175: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 4:30 pm ---- Are you still using an oil cooler after the oil incident ??? My mate has a 180 with no engine mods and hes fitting a Mocal oil cooler, and iv told him over and over again there is not point fitting one on a day to day commuter but he won't listen haha
*edit* by the way this is the best build I've read on here so far
#176: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:29 am ---- Yes still use the cooler. One I got new hoses made up it has been spot on. Don't see too much advantage for a road car to have one. Another leak path and it has an oil cooler as standard anyway

#178: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:04 pm ---- Oil cooler definitely needed for gti 180 on hard use. To day I saw 115-120 degree oil temp on gauge after 25 minute hard use. Weather temp is 32 degree. I will remove Oil Water exchange and install 13 row oil cooler with thermostat sandwich plate.
#179: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 12:03 pm ---- I dont have an oil cooler on the rally car yet... over 200hp and it gets thrashed with that but not had any issues as I change the oil very regularly....... I think with high air temperatures as in Turkey its well advised.
#180: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 4:08 pm ---- With a maximum of 19 degC here in the uk then I don't think a road going 180 needs an uprated oil cooler, my mate said to me "I want an oil cooler to cool my oil so it doesn't get thin , I don't like running my engine on thin oil" :-/ now I may be wrong but I'm sure the oil recommended for use in a specific engine is recommended so that it's running at the correct velocity at the running temperature of that specific engine to ensure all parts are lubricated efficiently, so unless your tracking the car and hitting high oil temp figures you don't need an uprated oil cooler, am I right???
