Fuzzydicerule Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 you could do alot better in terms of intake, but over all, it looks like you should make some good power with that engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 youre right about the intake but it shouldnt be a problem under boost.besides its the only intake i can use and clear the hood.if it wasnt for that id probably went with holley systemax.dyno test show only slightly lower #s with bbk.I would advise most people to stay away from the ssi intake though.ive had all kinds of issues with it.bbk upper intake hits the bbk fuel rails,it has a built in egr but you have to use an egr plate to get the throttle body to clear the valve covers,bbk fpr hits the intake,you cant thread a fuel pressure gauge into the fpr because ti wont clear the intake,it has to go into the end of the fuel rail,every bbk throttle body ive ever heard whistles like a train,and the distributor hits the fuel rails.had to grind on the rail to get it in.its taken alot of work to get it all worked out,but i think itll be ok now.Ive been having trouble with the hydraulic clutch.i went with a wildwood pull type slave cyl and wildwood master cyl but i dont have enough throw on the pedal the get it in gear.still have plenty of throw on the master and slave.any ideas?im stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzydicerule Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 yeah, that pretty much covers it, although im surprised that it fits better than a systemax, it looks bigger, have you thought about the edelbrock performer RPM II, im almost positive those are shorter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 the Systemax is alot bigger.its mostly a problem where it wraps across the drivers side valve cover.you have to run a 1'' spacer to clear the valve covers if youre runniing adj.rockers which have to be run on the twisted wedge head.the BBK design doesnt come near the valve covers except the throttle body.I finally got to drive it today but im still having trouble with my clutch setup and a couple timing issues.probably get that fixed this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzydicerule Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 ahhh, yeah, that makes sense good luck with that man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Well its been awhile since i updated but i took time to break the engine in and work out a few bugs.everything seems ok and me and a couple buddys have started on the headers.its alot tougher than i thought to get everything in there but i believe its going to work out pretty good.we just got everything spotted together right now and itll have to be tig welded together and its off to get jet-coated. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/timtsi/P2100066.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 the down pipe is going to be real tight and also the air inlet is a pain to get on but i may try to cut the egr plate down a little.http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/timtsi/P2100064.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSI_SVT Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Looking good! I can't wait to get back to work on mine. I got a few parts to install. Hopefully I'll be ready for boost by summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 thanks,its gonna be a long process and im slowing down a little but i think its worth it.i really enjoyed driving it while i was breaking in the engine.i wanted to take it to the track first but never got a chance.kinda a before and after thing.it doesnt hook though so it wouldnt do much good.gotta get more rubber under the rear.

BOHO Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Are you not connecting the exhaust before the turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 ya its just still in progress.the drivers side comes down behind the power steering pumpand crosses under then ties in under the turbo.my collectors were on back order so i havent got the cross over in these pics.ill post more after everythings together,this pic explains it better. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/timtsi/P2100061.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOHO Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Ah...IC..........couldn't tell from the first pic. I've seen some single turbo v8 applications where only one side spooled the turbo...I don't know how well it worked...Can't wait till you get done.

screemin eagle Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 no ic???????? you at least gonna use meth/water injections or even nos to cool the intake charge???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 ill have to get a blanket for the turbo and wrap the downpipe.should be able to send all the pipes off to get coated in a couple weeks. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/timtsi/newpics040.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGJOHNSON Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Nice man. Looks freakin beautiful, only wish I had the space to start a project like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartman74 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 looks good. why no intercooler??? you can find a vertical flow one, go from the turbo to the bottom, and from the tb to the top one. it would be easy to fab up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim si Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 kartman,i havent had much luck with innercoolers.if you have any ideas where to look id appreciate it.i really dont plan on running over 6-8 lbs of boost most of the time and thought about going water/meth.hp should be around 550-600.but that depends on how i cool the air.
