Dan@SJM's 1720v

[Dan@SJM]

I'll leave this here.

Cars now SORN for the winter.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Nice work mate

 

[Chi]

Just skimmed through, looks like a great motor mate..

 

[Dan@SJM]

So, did Bedford a few weeks ago. Trailered the car up there for 2 reasons. My back, and my hearing. Car performed faultlessly,'only issue being the lack of grip. It's now back up to standard compression, to do destructive testing to see how much a standard bottom end can take for my turbo conversions. At the moment it's running 10psi at 7400rpm.

A few pictures and videos.

Going well Dan! What's changed to bring it back up to std compression? Head gasket?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Yes, was a Megane gasket now back on a standard one.

 

[r0ss172]

What are you expecting to go first? Rods? Rings? Gearbox?

After the figures chip pulled on his before forging it, I'd expect it to do well with the supercharger being a more linear torque curve? How does it work with a supercharger in terms of Increasing power/boost? Different pulley or can it be done with mapping?

Also, not sure if you saw it but i got a great picture of it when we were at bedford in the summer last year! @Dan@SJM

One of my fave clios on the forum, the colour is brilliant!

Bodies do look (and sound!) brilliant.

Shame they do next to nothing for performance unless on a mega modified engine, lol.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Miss this car so bad

I didn't my go-pro decided to throw up SD error.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Oh Dan, Dan Dan Dan .

If I were in any position right now I wouldn't think twice lol

 

[Dan@SJM]

So with the rotrex deciding to s**t itself at the weekend, I decided more power was to ensue.

And a bit more.

Left me with this:

Which was then filled with this:

Just need to finalise the mounts and the shafts. Then decide on what turbo.

 

[Lawro]

It was shitting itself on the way back from Dartford then mate?

 

[Dan@SJM]

It was shitting itself on the way back from Dartford then mate?

Yup. Think it's the internal oil pump that's bricked it. Bloody Scandinavian crap.

 

[Lawro]

Yup. Think it's the internal oil pump that's bricked it. Bloody Scandinavian crap.

Oh dear, so my analogy about kicking it's teeth in and hoping it repairs itself didn't work then lol?!

Well I'm sure it will be even more bat s**t mental now!

 

[Dan@SJM]

Lol it got driven hard back to the garage when I dropped you off. Didn't fix itself so guess it was fucked lol.

 

[Lawro]

There were a nice set of 11's out of the layby!

 

[Dan@SJM]

FLOL! There was into the estate too lol!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Wait...
Dan...

Dan...... Is this sold? I can't access the FST...Did you sell it with the audi lump??? Oh my god I'm so confused and upset right now lol

 

[Martin.]

Shiiiiiiiiit. What a pain.

But be fun to upgrade with the 1.8T!!

 

[McGherkin]

Wait...
Dan...

Dan put it up for sale.
We took him for a drive across Dartmoor.
Dan is back in love.
No longer for sale.

1.8T time.

 

[Dan@SJM]

^ in a nutshell.

 

[Cub.]

Ooh. 1.8t.

[Scrooge]

Ooo this will be epic with the 1.8 turbo!

Is this engine from your old Leon Dan?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Lol!

 

[Dan@SJM]

Is this engine from your old Leon Dan?

It is. Complete with quaife

 

[Scrooge]

That will be epic!!

 

[Ed.200]

How many engines in a year then? lol

Going to be insane when its finished.

 

[l33th3tr33]

Looking forward to this!

 

[Dan@SJM]

Bit more done on it this evening. Luke_Exc popped over as he owes me a favour or 2, so let him do the welding of the mount.

Engine mount in the making:

Like a glove.

1 mount made

 

[Dan@SJM]

Well little bit to update..



It's in and mounted.

And driveshafts mocked up.



And had a look at getting the turbo position worked out. Will be a GT2860r I think, as pictures here. I may go 3071 if I'm feeling adventurous.

 

[Dan@SJM]

So small update,

Did a bit of wiring, and this was the result:

Doesn't sound too bad for an engine that hasn't turned a degree for 3 years.

Nice To hear it crank and see that it's registering crank signal.

DCI 100 pedal box

Blower ordered from clioturbo, GT3071r with a 4" inlet.

 

[Cub.]

Awesome.

Awesome......

Ummm....awesome?

 

[Dan@SJM]

So better update this...

Excuse the boost controller wiring I hadn't done at that point.

Boost, AFR and EGT

Diff

Manifold and downpipe

Custom shafts

 

[Bluebeard]

Torque steer much! Lol
