LUPOCHARGED

previously used my double din housing to fit my gauges and needed to find some space to fit my headunit so had a rethink and came up with this..

Stainless steel exhaust system 63mm from Bastuck to help with breathing.....

Custom ecu loom been built for my conversion...... Nearly complete.

Supercharger outlet had to be modified so i could have it sitting in a certain position.. With 90 degree bend..Alloy welded

I havent done an update on here for so long. Work commitments and illness has really slowed this project down to nearly nil input. Now i can bring everything up to date and hopefully if all goes to plan have this completed sometime this year.Wanted to do my build with a Tfsi engine took a rain check in that direction as came across to many complications. Had the same comploications with the alloy blocked engine so had to step back in the past and retro fit the ABF lump.. This is how the engine bay looks at present.

Engine bay could do with a tidy up and finishing of..

Just modelling Audi A1 alloys..

Well the head scratching and the effing and blinding turned out to be a good mild day for me and the charge cooler radiator has a new home.. This radiator has two plug in type fittings which are of no use to me so i will get 2 AN fittings tagged to each hole to plumb the rest of the charge cooling kit...Black radiator has been screwed to the water radiator..The other end will be tagged with two L shaped brackets..3 down 1 to go

I'm hoping so. Got to use to the last set up wanted more kick without using a turbo so this is the route to FUN

While block is away getting played with and this weather cant make up it's mind to freeze my ass of i thought i would pay some attention to the cooling system. Started of with a new front panel as the previous one was butchered to death..Made up a picture frame for everything to sit in... Spent most of the week running from home to garage to welders and back. Finally it's coming together... After some more cutting, tucking and filing got the water radiator and engine oil cooler to share space.... Now i need to find some more space to fit another oil radiator and charge cooler radiator. This week will entail alot of head scratching effing and blinding. All part of a build

Hi iv'e just read your complete tread, workmanship is quality. Keep up the good work.One question i ask of you where will you fit that tubular control arms?

Cheers for the comments. At the moment i'm wearing Audi A1 7x16" ten spoke alloy wheels. As for power figures 250bhp will be nice anymore is a bonus. At present i'll be using a VR6 5-speed box with ABF bell housing,will see how that goes and take it from there

Hi Stuart i had to make this install as easy as poss and even though the Polo 9n/9n3 parts might work doing it this way is 100 per cent everything will hook up as VW intended. Regards Hakeem

While i have a engine in my loops to get me up and running im also gonna build me a bullet proof bottom end so in the future i can put together a twin charge set up? Even though i have an engine installed in the loops to get me up and running i thought it would be wise to build me a bullet proof short block for some more crazy plans that i have. So the ALT block is of to be bored and honed. While that is getting done here are the goodies waiting to be installed....

Rotrex c30-94

The braking department even though it was very good (280mm G60) set up more stopping power will be needed. Better to be safe than sorry. The master cylinder is from the Seat Ibiza Cupra 1999 to 2001 model year comes in handy for this conversion what with it been a stubby with 23mm cylinder all helps towards braking effort. HI-spec 300mmx28mm 2 piece discs and 4 pot calipers......

Rear 4 stud converted to 5 stud using Skoda Fabia parts This was the easiest part of this conversion 15 minutes each side

Thank you for your kind words. This will keep going till i'm up and driving:)

..... After looking through my spares parts bin i found me some parts to make me a home made inlet manifold. Started with a Tfsi flange from Integrated Engineering, then a short stubby inlet from a passat 20v n/a, and a Golf 16v ABF upper inlet cut to size, 20v turbo fuel rail, and fuel injectors. This is the outcome so far. Off to the welders this weekend.

If you want to do this you need to get yourself a spare set of hubs from Lupo sport or Polo Gti 6N2 and get them re-worked and the rear end is from Skoda Fabia Vrs Hubs and Discs.

As Koop said more wheel variety. For me its more to do with wheel bolt size and security plus the extra wheel bolt to clamp my wheel to hub. Very easy to do if you can find yourself an engineering company. The rear end is simply skoda fabia vrs hub and disc. The front end is Lupo sport/Polo Gti re-worked.

.. Tfsi manifold flange joined with 1.8 20v n/a exhaust.

4x100 pcd hub plugged and redrilled to 5x100

It has been along time hope everything is good for you all the best for 2013

well hello casper hope all is going well with your mods to and no way im i gonna give up just had some many things doing this year that the loops had to go on hold roll on 2013. Happy new year to you
