 , I hope the ones on the right didn't make it either.....So the original stuff is working on the front?

[Rapido]

offtopic,

Most people put a Golf III spoiler below the FRONT bumper But on the rear it's also

[polo_td]

Hi all.
Yes i was thinking of adding the org rear peice from golf III but i wanted somting diffrent.
So therefor i took the front piece and i´m satisfied with how it turned out.

15'' is for my limmit but the 175/50R13 I have under my steilheck touches the wheel arcs already on a bumpy road.
maybe de ET rating is wrong

Hi
Now I have spoken to my new sponsor Swedish turbo service again who said that the turbo was ready for pic up.
They had apparently turned inside out of everything in this job.
They had spoken to pro´s in England and Germany to get more information about what's to be done and what would be good, whats fun to hear is that they had never heard anything like this during his years in the industry, either here in Sweden or abroad.
It´s fun that the car makes such interest from the most experienced people in the industry.
I must say I really like everyone´s engagement to get involved in the project.

The turbo is now in base an Schwitzer (Borg-Wagner) units, but we have retained the exhaust housing from the previous Garret aggrigatet becuase we wanted to see how much a special processing of this would bring.

Exhaust house has now been modified significantly.
The shaft has been replaced and the diameter of the turbine wheels changed,  the turbine wheel has trimed wings on them for increased flow and power.

Happily it is now turbo good for 200 diesel horses and more  .....

See pictures below:




















You can see that it's right clever processed in the exhaust housing and the compressor side.
Today, i will get a new return piping from the turbo as we now have a different connection than before.
After that a tachometer goes in the car with a shift etc.
We'll see where I put this, there's not really much space in the cabin as you probably know already.

Have you thought about adding a G40/G60 or other supercharger and making it twin-charged? 

[polo_td]

Hi
Twin charged is an interesting path, but i cant find the space for it.
BUT, maybe 2 stage turbo set up will work.
We´ll see if its needed.....

Nice! I like the pictures. It will sound even better

Hello again.
Now it has happened stuff i think you should know.
We have been on Kinnekulle raceway and with the help of a talented driver who now works as a driver instuctor within just racing i belive we couldent get a better tryout on the car.
 
Peter had fixed the ring completely to ourselves, which is an incredible feeling just that.
Think about it, we got at a race track all to ourselves ...  ;D
Many thanks Peter.

Peter Lundrgen from Götene Motorclub has thus been the one driving the car.
The car behaves consistently and very well on a track according to Peter.

Peter ran around the ring as the best at 1,10:52.
Which I think is good.

For reference, I can say that it is faster than orginalcup Volvo's cars run on the ring, and when they're built to run on racingtrac with weigth reductions and tuned chassis, etc.
We have a std car more or less, this is Very impressive in my eyes.

But something was wrong with the car, the effect did not occur so it could not bring better times.
 
This was on Friday and on Saturday, I talked with my filter provider.
Guess my suprise when he says that the filter attached to the car "just now" leave X liters of air / minute, it takes more than twice as much air .....
The filter povided was for a petrol instalation NOT Diesel.....WTF

This worked then as a restriction and we could only get maximum 1.2 bar then filter imploded
together and as they say put the lid on it.
The effect were about 80bhp measured by G-Tech on Saturday morning.
No wonder the car smoked, the car was so black in the ass so we had to wash the car before driving home.

Take it away, i will send the correct filter to you next week.
Said and done.

I did it and Holy shit ...............
Sure the car was good before but now it is a monster.
The effect is brutal.
It's just so that tires can keep the power down on third and fourth gear.
Turbo charger keeps going on with ease throughout the registry and the  increase in speed is more or less linear.
No turbo dip at all under free acceleration.

I guess that the effect now is 160-180 hp.
This is now to be confirmed on the dyno again.
Temp problems are blown away both the exhaust and water and oil temp is laying still.

Will come back with a real report later.
With this effect, and a minor update to front so I can say that the car is probably running around the ring in under a minute. And it's fast
This is an incredible car.

Peter will write a report later this week about how he feels the car.
He is, however, independent and used to run cars on trac.

See you soon then with pictures and some video if you want .......
