compression test says its as sweet as a nut though!

Sure it will be. They are a pretty strong engine in all fairness unless you use them like a water pump like a certain Rallye owner

Suppose i should up date this really, people on Facebook know but for those who dont

Little strip down
   

Then some little additions

   

   

Also got me some OEM looking gauges

   

Then mocked up the cooler , oil coolers pipe work, etc, made some templates for brackets

   

Got all the brackets, pipe work , all made up welded & painted now, Just waiting on a few parts to turn up then i can final fit every thing

[Grant]

You routing the intercooler piping through your washer bottle?


:p

[puglove]

yeah 2 1/4" core bit , slide the pipe through then silicone around the pipe

[Dum-Dum]

Why 2 oil temp gauges and also isn't your boost gauge a tad optimistic?

[puglove]

One for charger oil temp & one for engine oil, & yes the boost gauge is very optimistic but it was the least chavtastic one i could find

[Grant]

Glad I'm not the only one who actually thought through the practicality of doing so

[Niall]

Ooh i like that boost gauge. Where did you get it and how much?
Im not sure if I'm going to take my drivers side boost pipe over the top of the IC and in through the passengers side of the rad or if I'm going to do the same as you. Are you cutting the hole for the bottle filler neck bigger to take a pipe through there?

[puglove]

It is from the mighty ebay, cant remember how much it was ?

No the IC pipe loops back behind the lower slam panel , It does a full 180* loop off the end of the IC if you get me, obviously that pipe you see in the pic was cut right down.

[Niall]

Ah ok and spins around where the AC pump used to be? Never thought of going that way. Giggidy.

[puglove]

Yes correct, but my PAS is there now so it needs to drop abit lower, its not ideal but i think it will be fine, it was the best way i could see doing it without chopping the chassis. All i had to do was just extend the washer bottle mounts 40-50mm to allow the pipe through

[sam]

Any news!!!!!!!!!

[Piggy]

Looking good jamie...but does it run?

[Mrs puglove]

hasn't yet !
Don't think there is to much further to go now though

Its alot further on than the last pics

[Niall]

Looking good jamie...but does it run?

Yeah but being a older Lynx kit, not very well

[puglove]

Yeah its pretty much there. I need to put some fluids back in tighten a few bits and it will run.

A niall its the V2 not the V1 with the revised map

Ah good good. Looking at the manifold, its an early one and I've heard the early maps had a lot of issues.

[ozonehostile]

*blown * is a very misleading title :-P

I was expecting to see fire and engines with holes in haha

[puglove]

Yeah I had read that the V1 had problems so when I was talking to rich he said he would be sending all the gear to aviod the issues with the same earlier kits.so should be no issues with this

[Poodle]

I'm calling bs on the thread title, do it properly! :p

[Tom]

So is this running and going? Or still in the garage?

[puglove]

For all the people who have spent the last 2 years moaning & trolling me about this charger!

Awesome! Good work man, about time and all! :p

Can't wait to see this go.

[Niall]

Woooppphoooooophooooo!

This won't be mapped i doubt. Its still running a standard ECU with the generic low boost map.

[puglove]

But it will be mapped eventually niall

[Niall]

Good man. Will you be going aftermarket or sticking with the standard ECU?

[puglove]

Pppfftt i OE ecu will be going in the bin, along with the inlet manni, and the TB will be changing location........ but were talking off season end of this year
