LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 So is this supercharger conversion available for the gti now or is his car a 1 off?Also how come so slow? No offence but 0.2 seconds quicker than a standard Gti is a little bit dissappointing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty b-road Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 1/4 mile doesn't tell the whole story, it might be mad fast once it's moving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Yeah, that was only one run that I saw as well, he may have done better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Not a Junction29 car, trust me!Spent a good hour chatting to its owner at the BBT's event.Clifford - he says he knows you?Its only just been finished, waiting for a new ECU, running a piggy back at the mo. From what I could gather from him, compression has been lowered already, its purely the 1.4 ECU that is holding him back.Bloody nice car!

tdwindustries Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 hes got a 1.4 ECU on a GTI engine ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yeah, its the original ECU for the car. It started life as a 1.4 sport & he bought the GTi engine & box from a scrappy...Think he's having a custom ECU made... not 100% sure though.He's going to Worthersee so I'll try to track him down & get some more info from him!!!

Blue Loop Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 is that engine a 1.4 or a 1.6?? the one in the silver lupo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Its a 1.6 now... started life as a 1.4 sport, but he swapped the lump & box for GTi ones. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Its a rotrex charger by the way.

Tigz™ Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Is that a charge cooler at the back of the engine bay, or is it just an oil cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 judging by pipes looks like oilwhat are those plugs and leads though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrat Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 as far as im aware its got the Gti Ecu (you can see the varible valve timing is connected), with a piggy back system, but thats soon to go, as programmable is on its way. he is running 7 psi, about .5 bar boost. the compression has been lowerd to around 9.summing :1 by means of a copper spacer plate. i am considering this as a temp solution untill i get my pistons, but its not cheap, Hakeem said its £150 for the plate.thats an oil cooler btw style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
