Ralphy Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Hi guys ! As me and my freinds are gettin older now ! They are beginning to think about buying bigger engines like for example 1.8t, 2.0 16v. Which is quite annoying leaving me with my 75bhp loop which i just bought ! Anyways i kno this has been talked about very much on this forum but ! I just wanted my own clean thread about it. Cut a long story short, I was thinking out buying a 1.8t at the end of the year however really want to keep my loop which clearly isnt going to keep up with any 1.8t, so supercharging came to mind which i kno is a very expensive conversion ! But i just wanted to tlk to the ones that kno there stuff ! For example how long it took ! What sort of things are needed etc, as i am thinking of saving alot of money every month till december and maybe doing this conversion!!! So any guidance would be very much appreciated by u guys as allways ! Cheers Guys Mike Edited March 30, 2010 by Ralphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 What information have you gathered so far, just so, i (we) know what needs explaining..?Were you not looking at a remap a few months back, why the sudden jump? lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphy Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Lets just put down to peer pressure I kno it cost alot lol ! I need to invest in a lupo gti lump aswell ! Just wanted to kno how easy is it for someone with not shed loads of knowledge, do internals need changing ? Any home made fabrications ? Power outputs ! How long does it take ! things like that for example ! Yeah remaping was however not worth 25bhp max lol ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Lupo GTi lump. Just wanted to knok how easy is it for someone with not shed loads of knowledge, do internals need changing? Any home made fabrications?Power outputs!How long does it take!Doesn't need a GTi lump.If you're going 1600 in a non-GTi you may be better off with a Polo GTi engine.Internals don't need changing, John is the only person to have done this (bottom end wise)Yes, some.Paul ran 180bhp on a sport engine, John is aiming for circa 250bhp.I believe Andy on a standard GTi engine is around 210bhp, however, this can all depend on maps pulleys.ALL these answers are from things that are on these forums/the internet.I'd heavily advise having a good old look through all the threads you can find to source some of the answers.

pro3mark Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 To me, it's seems considering you're "serious" you haven't researched it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphy Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I will when i get time ! Just wanted to make my own thread on here to find it easier to understand it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saq85 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Have you seen the amount of work + money needed & used in casperGTI's thread? wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Andy dosent know his power figure, I text him my first power figure when I got the car running and he had my number saved as his tuning guy in his phone he thought that was his cars power figure.I don't beleve it's been on a power run to date. And it's not running correctly yet, lots of over fueling due to him needing a few sensors and loom fitted.When I'm back from work I'll think of a reply to this, but you need to do your research first on what you think you want to do an acheive.

Bigfoot Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I researched a bit round the forum for my sport being supercharged, but decided it wasnt really worth it.Parts neededEaton M45 supercharger (mini cooper s charger)Lupo GTI injectors2mm Head Spacer plate + 2 head gasketsPulley/ belt arrangementSupercharger bracketsIntercooler + piping4 branch manifold2 1/4" exhaustEmerald ecu + map (Storm Development)Some sort of induction kit, sized for a 2ltr+ carFor extra safety a 255ltr/m fuel pump (walboro, etc) and a fuel pressure regulater (FSE)With that setup you should see about 180bhp-190bhp.Most expensive bit is the ecu and mapping at well over £1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 You don't use two head gaskets.Reason behind this is that the head bolts are designed and torques to correctly compress one he'd gaksket. By using two, you don't proppely compress the head gaskets. And overtorquing the head bolts is just asking for it as they will be over stretched and this will lead to them fatiguing.

andyp Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 it may work out cheaper in the long run buying a 1.8t, mines still needing tweakin as i have some small problems to iron out. Caspers is very diff to mine in regards to set up and tuning, plus his car is 'younger'! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
