So after 3 years of 8 ownership and a year of research i have decided to take the plunge and go turbo. Being in the U.K. we are not spoilt for choice on things so i had limited options.

Ive decided to go with a home brewed kit and one that is rear mounted. I know this is not a new thing but i am looking at keeping the turbo totally separate. Remote oil and water feeds via rear mounted exchangers.

I have totally re designed the intake to be made from ali and at a later date carbon fibre. I have also decided to totally remove the plastic vac chamber and make a new one so i can relocate it. This also enables me to relocate the oil filler spout and i have also decided relocate the oil filter. I know a lot of what im doing bears no gain, but its a project and i have the facilities to make everything i need so why not?

I have had in depth discussions with the peeps in the SARX group and they continue to be an amazing pool of inspiration and keep me motivated.

If people are interested in seeing the progress i'll keep this thread updated.

Here is a few pics of the injector rail for the primarys, billet OMP manifold, phenolic spacer, vac chamber, oil relocation spout and oil filter relocation bits.

Cheers

Wow ... some great skillz you have man .

Not a fan of rear mount but I'm sure you will make it work .....

 

Thank you..

I know its going to be laggy but i can live with that for now. I am looking for 280whp so nothing mind blowing.

 

Take a ride in Flameshades Greddy setup before you commit to rearmount ....

 

You have been on here since 2012 Barry? Good build man, looking forward to seeing the end result.

 

Looks like you got a double dose of SARX overkill inspiration ...

 

For some reason when i opened it up on my work laptop it logged me straight in on this account! i didnt realise i still had it and it was on this site. Haha!

 

Someone has connection to a proper machining workshop.

Envy....

 

With the right ecu solution and injector combination you don't even need working P1 injectors

 

so here is the turbo fitted with a prototype flange adaptor

 

And here is the final design and it manufactured

 

and the additional hanger that fits to the subframe

 

Looks a bit low, might scrape on speed bumps. why not move it a bit further back to get more clearance?
