Hi So your cousin must have been Matt, as you say he had haz spray the car in the blue and tungy colour's I am not sure of Scoff or Haz built the engine up I just no as it wasn't mapped fully it blew an engine. I have just toned the colour scheme down and trying to revive it a bit but giving it...

Cheers Guy's a couple of pic's I managed to get of the mobile, I forgot to say i added a proper fuel cell aswell as it had a metal jerry can as the fuel tank. Mag feature How it is now and what I have done The new lump VW 1.8t 20v ARY engine with ko3s

I Suppose I should update this thread in that the Tungy Grey 5 GTT (C12 GTT) is no longer with me, unfortunatly in August 2011 I had a major accident in the wet on a greasy road at speed and a tyre blow out which caused me to roll the car 3 times luckily no other cars or persons were involved...

I watched Scoff's car @ pod on the RTOC day 1st july car was rapid 145mph traps and just over 10sec quarter's, sounded like a monster, controlling the boost on 1st & 2nd I think is the problem at the mo. Was awesome think both driveshafts snapped later in the day aswell and one of them welded it...

Good man nice to see your sticking with it. Keep the pics coming :)

Unfortunatly the R5 GTE was a European model that was never released in the UK, the GTT came with either a grey carpet of the red one or on the Raider models it had black carpet. :rasp: it's a small world. I ended up getting the 19 16v black carpet to fit with a few mods to the rear of the...

Cheers matey always have loved the 5 GTT and can't see myself being without one had one as my first car when I was 18 and now 31 still got one:cool: Small update Don't ground the ECU VSS pin 3, causes smoke and possible fire. Well car is still running has a couple of niggly bits left to...

Lewis, sad to see this is the end of your project matey,

Yea of no faith, she is fully running properly now. Turned how to be down to injector O ring not sealing against the head properply spare cam cover sticker put to good use

Back together again and no smoke, but need to sort out the extremely high revving

Well should update this there was good news and bad news. Good news is she started and ran for a few secs the bad news is the engine was not as good as I was told she turned into a smoker straight away comp test showed number 3 was down to 45psi all the other were about 150psi Engine is now...

So Lewis, what's happening with the 5? any more updates

No faith, i'll be there in it:cool: :o So true Andy, but hopefully going turbo from the off will make the difference, I managed to sort out a few problems last night, injectors fire as should other than the 2 that are stuck so new set of injectors on way should ahve them by this friday...

Well I am pretty much finished and I can't get the bugger to start :( I have good spark, I have fuel to rail of 3.2 bar, I have engine cranking on the starter, but i have no fuel entering the clyinders so I am assuming the injectors are not firing :( does anybody know anything about the f7p...

Ok wasn't quite to plan as I ended up spending the weekend with the kids and Mrs's but done some bits in the eve

Project 5 GTT - F7p turbo has commenced and hopefully will have the engine in and majority of bits plumbed in and wired up by the end of the weekend, pending delivery of new parts of course.

Well what can I say another - Conversion has been started and this time it's a turbo from the start;)

You say that I ripped the sidey of the end of last week and I have actually raised the car prior to this, I managed to snap the centre bracket that is welded to the exhaust :( sidey currently off and @ welders.

Was a very good day I still remember it well, weird to think that was quite a few years back now and the ole girl has been through quiet a few engine changes since then:o, pretty much back to the orginal engine spec now, I even now have the original MSM engine block that was in the car in my...

Hi Lewis, password for my photobucket is - smellyfeet :D

Engine bay pic update not much of a change OE rocker cover back in place, as to much bling to clean:D also made an engine staibiliser bar in an attempt to stop some of the engine movement

:rasp: It's a 5 it needs to be fiddled with. Before I commit to another conversion I am waiting for 5teveL on RTOC to finish his into his 5 then I can see his first and see if it's any good. Some more update pics, decided to ditch the OE GTT seats front and rear got feed up with the bolsters...

Should add considering doing an F7p/r turbo conversion into the 5 aswell. but this time C1J will be kept in storage if i do go this route but will be turbo from the off.

Well guess what I have done a head gasket :rasp: yes this was down to my own stupid fault, fueling was spot on but I was playing with the tdc sensor and forgot to adjust it to where it was originally and I suffered some bad det causing the H/G to fail luckily nothing else failed this time. But...

Car looks fantastic Ben, always good to see a fantastic example of an old Classic Retro hot hatch

Welcome to the world of retro turbo charging :cool: Looks fantastic, can't wait to see it once you have worked your magic on the ole girls.

:rasp: going to set the fueling up over next couple of days for boost with LM-1

VNT now fitted

OK 5 is getting there almost back to being very similar spec to original modded C1J MSM engine, even got myself a VNT turbo now for the 5 aswell. In fact I have purchased my old one back from the bloke i sold it to it's not even been used since I sold it.
