Got to do some fine tune right after Chinese New Year Holiday. :) Everyone, Happy New Year!! The first period Horse Power test result is right below:


The testing machine is "Bosch LPS002", and the result in text is as below:

Power at the Wheel: 299.7 hp
Losing Power: 31.4 hp
Power at the Engine: 331.1 hp
Environment Temperature: 26 ?
Environment Air Pressure: 1016 millibar
Correction coefficient: 1.007
Power after correction: 333.42 hp

(Note: the maximum boost pressure value is 1.3 kg/cm2 currently, would be set as 1.4 kg/cm2 after the fine tune)

What is it????

It is SARD fuel regulator... Is it a interesting way to install it in a 1.8T engine bay? :p

A little trick to install it. If you understand the engine more then you can find many interesting solution to install some interesting stuffs on it without any problem.

Looking in the eye!

Change the style of intercooler a little bit. The original one covers too mcuh makes the temp of water raises too high. :(

The only way to solve this is just makes the cooler smaller a bit.

Re-route pipes of the oil cooler

Well, it is a little bit better than it was. I cut two of pipes a little bit to make them shorter and use two of turned connectors to smooth the curve of pipes. Hopefully, the oil flow would pass this place smoothly than it did.

Ok, eventually I've some free time this weekend. After enlarged the manifold. It is time to get it installed after the turbocharger.



Well, there are still many work I got to do with my Engine. Hopefully I can put everything together and finish the turbocharger upgrading work after the Chinese New Year comes. I will keep my finger crossed for this. :)

Enlarged intake manifold.........

As you can see in the photo, this enlarged manifold is about 1/3 larger than the stock one, the air flow area. It would be interesting to see how it works after installation. Well, we will see.

PS. the engine under the enlarged manifold is AWP engine from New Beetle Turbo S. :)

The HKS GT2835 52T now is installed eventually, but the rest stuffs needed have not been made yet. Due to my slowly and lazy behaviour. LOL, I think I still need one month and a half to complete this project. :)

Guess what it is for on my bug!! :p

I got it from Germany eBay with a extremely low price :) , it is was equiped on a bug with "Headlighs Washer System". There are two pump on it, one for windshield and the other for headlight washer. I would take the headlight one for making an intercooler water spraying system. I think it would be a nice function in Summer here. :)
