My Polo 6n2

update everybody, become really bored of lack of power in my car sooo ive started making a manifold for the turbo im puttin on, only gunna be running really low boost with the engine been standard but should give me a little bit of extra power. ive already took some pics but cant find my phone cable to upload them but will be putting them on when i find it

Can't wait until it's done nice your playing it safe

hmmm will be watching this space with great intrest

looks well, i used to have 16" cades on my ibiza in gold still think there a nice wheel tbh

you putting the turbo on the standard engine then mate? what sorta cost will it be as theres plenty of conversions that have been done ie 1.8t, or g40, which might be a similar cost etc,

He's the lucky one he's making the mani and most of it his self he works at Nortech performance the jammy sod

hairy muff then, ideal to get a job at a place like that, i would have loved a job at jbs personally although alately ive heard people slating them a bit :S but yeah anyway cool should be fun then

yeah my boss knows everything when it comes to turboing and tuning sooo hopefully the car will be ok and will be pretty cheap to do it all, not gunna be anymore than 100bhp but it'll just give it a little kick which is what it needs tbh haha

nice one mate!! i ran mine as a low boost back when i first got it, it ran 96.6bhp and the same torque.
It was plenty enough to have alot of fun and i ran only 4 psi on a Garrett GT15 454 turbo to achieve on stock compression and no intercooler it gave full boost at little over 2k and the fuel economy was great if you used the turbo in the right way.

Ive heard about were you work so you'll no how to go about what your doing properly but ill say it anyway for good will ......if you are going low boost and you intend on sticking to it then pick your turbo well, a nice small turbo will be perfectly at home running 4-6psi and then youll be able to experience a near perfect flat torque curve and the car will be so so good and easy to drive on the road ive seen alot of people stick an over sized turbo to a car only to run a few psi which juts spoils the setup

cant wait to see the build and look forward to seeing the end result

turbo's on small engines rule hehe good luck to you mate

thanks

Jason

yeah cheers mate! well ive already got my turbo its one we had lying around on shelf but it still works fine, its tiny tbh its an IHI turbo off of a corsa TD i think. i cant find my phone cable soo im gunna take my camera into work tomorrow and take some pics of the manifold im making at the moment

aah good stuff, i bet its the same turbo as i have in my garage fitted to the low-blow Astra and Corsa diesels etc, that should be perfect for your engine

look forward to the pics

thanks

Jason

Hows the progress on the turbo kit coming together have you been making the rest of the parts over the weekend will i be hearing a dump valve in two weeks time

its coming on now ryan, manifold is now finished soo hopefully gunna get the car in saturday and get the turbo on no boost though yet as its not setup yet and they will be pics just need to get a new phone cable cant find it anywhere and there all on my phone

just remember to pipe the turbo to something if your running it without boost for abit, if you run it venting to atmosphere your heading for a new turbo straight off

thanks

Jason

Nice work mate can't wait to see the finished product don't blow it up before next Thursday let me see it first

right been in work today working on the car the manifold is now on with oil return and feed sorted, started making the downpipe which im gunna finish tomorrow then hopefully ill be able to drive it for a bit. then one day next week im gunna make the boost pipe and put the 5th injector in above the throttle bodie. ive only gotta a few pics but you get the idea. will get more soon





and then where my oil return goes into the sump.

Lookin good top work i bet you can't wait to get it all together

very impresive cant wait til its done

Nice smooth flowing manifold should gave great spool up and good top and flow

BTW what fueling method are you using for the turbo conversion?? and assuming yours is on a MAP sensor are you using a FCD??

thanks

Jason

update got car running today turbo sounds mint and everythings ook blows lots of air but ive had to leave the car at work because its got low oil pressure soo thinking when ive put silicone on sump to bolt it up its fell in and the pick up pipe has pulled it up soo it cant pull any oil up, soo going in early in morning to pull sump back off and see what the problem is. soo not happy at the moment

has anybody any other ideas to what i might have done?

think you may be right in your first guess, where have you taken a feed from for the turbo oil feed??

thanks

JASON

its been took from where the oil pressure switch is, what we did was put a T piece in and put the switch in the end and the oil feed from the middle.

cheers for the help.

hhhmm

there is a chance that there is a pressure drop in the T piece caused by the oil feeding to the turbo and therefore the oil pressure switch is not seeing what it wants to, im assuming you think the pressure is low due to the light coming on right???

If so then this could be why

thanks
