[Rick]

Really likin this car.

Apart from the light pods i think phill has had the exact same things on his car at one point or another lol.

Where were those vids taken? I'd love to take the R along them some time.

[Fuzzy Orange]

Rick mate - later this month I'm going up to a yorkshire meet, come along with me
We'll have a coke and some food and then go out on some of those roads :)

[James]

love it!! slagd quiky with enough go to suprise people :D

[NikkiGTi]

im likin this a lot :)

[elinchick]

Love this quikie and love those lights :)

[James.G]

very slag mate, love the first pic :)

but i wouldnt have the spoiler, alloy fuel cap or rear lights, would have kept it more standard.

[N9KKC]

Good time for a vtr engine!

[pugginquik]

Definately keep it dirty, suits it ;D Pods look better since painting.

[Dan]

Not to my taste but cool in a unique way I suppose!

[leeds106]

cheers guys


and yeah fuzzy if ya come to yorkshire meet ill take ya down a few local roads :)

[Tony]

Nice car, not too keen on the spots tho

[Dargs]

Love the custom morettes!!! ;D ;D

[pugjim]

Very slagish, like it especially first two shots of her...not too keen on the stickers though.
Does that light pod affect handling at all?
Looks like it would add a load of weight over the front end?

[Dan C]

Just out of interest where did you get the pod from?

[pugginquik]

ive seen one in performance gti mag was around 300 to 400 if i remember correctly

[leeds106]

Does that light pod affect handling at all?
Looks like it would add a load of weight over the front end?



not heavy at all its fibreglass

weighs about as much as my trainers do to be honest

[leeds106]

Just out of interest where did you get the pod from?


ebay

i bought an empty pod and got some cheap spots and made them fit

pod on a budget as i didnt wanna spend 400quid on a proper one

[vicky]

Looks good but very dirty in the last pics :D

[Dan C]

i bet you can see for miiiiiiiles with it on

[pugginquik]

i bet ya can!

Thats not full beam :D ... THIS IS FULL BEAM ;D

[leeds106]

thats the point of it lads

i even stuck 2 of halfords 130/90w bulbs in 2 and there certainly a hell of a lot brighter

dont put em in ya normal lights though they will burn the loom

i used a thicker wire for the spots cos i wanted to run rally bulbs in them :)

[Raz]

looking good there mate. as said bet you can see for miles!

Raz

[Luke]

That pod is a beast! Give someone a nice surprise with that thing! Keep it dirty, looks good!

[danvilla2]

great vids

[Jimbo]

said it before and ill say it again. I LOVE that lamp pod ;)

[leeds106]

well ive got a week off work and nothing planned for it

having had my bottom engine mounted sorted and my blowing like a centre exit manifold welded up the cars been pulling really nicely and sound much better too

so today i decided id go out and do what the car seems to love doing
(nothing to do with me honest)

was good weather for it nice cold air for the engine but not damp so grip levels are good

[Luke]

Cool vids, car sounds sweet mate!

[leeds106]

yeah it sounds much better since the blowing manifold was sorted

pulls like a train too now

[JamesL]

Good vids mate.

[mikey_b]

nice vids, i used to think this stuff was cool

after writing my company car off last night i just think its stupid, especially on blind country roads

[leeds106]

vision is very high when im going for it

last thing i wanna do is destroy my car so i always back off at the 1st hint not being able to clearly see whats coming

thats what makes being on track more fun itss 110% all the time :)

[Tuscan]

Ou do just wot i like doing ;D Except your car is better at it.

This happened last year though so be careful. I was going half your speed

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/tuscan_/SP_A0059.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/tuscan_/SP_A0056.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/tuscan_/54c2b26e.jpg

My mates polo was the worst! It just folded up like foil!

This photo doesnt show how bad it was. The whole drivers side bent outwards like this >
The boot colapsed into the back seats. The wheels folded up. Funny thing was it still started up and he was actually able to drag it forwards.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/tuscan_/SP_A0058.jpg

[vicky]

My quiki was certainly never that fast or that loud :D lol

[leeds106]

all induction noise too :)


me and my mate always leav plenty of room to stop

i dare say our brakes are better that the 1.0ltrs too :)

[pugginquik]

In my opinion any1 driving stands the same chance of crashing :P

Car is sounding sweet fella, lanes look soo fun bet the cars well mucky afterwards.
you get many fingers off the cyclists ?? :P

Nice vids!

[leeds106]

nah i always slowed down way before i got to them as ya can see quite far ahead if not i tend to take it steady

[James.G]

car sounds wicked mate :)

would never take mine up there!! she'd be filthy!

[gazz]

Why a vtr engine?

Why not a vts or gti?

[leeds106]

cos everything cost twice the price to mod a 16v and if ya tune an 8v right they kick ass


upto 95 my car is all over a vts

[leeds106]

ill do a full report 2morrow with pics and vids

went down to awesome gti in manchester with the PGAC nw section

car went on rollers and made.......................














101bhp@the wheels

well happy with the outcome


and even better the torque band is awesome


peak torque kicks in practically at 2k and only raises slightly all the way along till 5.5k when it starts to drop off


think it made 108lbs of torque but i need to check


ill stick up all onfo 2morrow but needless to say im well happy with the outcome

[Dan]

Niceeeee. :)

[Tuscan]

Impressive.

Could you list the performance spec? I.e work,parts youv had done.

[leeds106]

98bhp vtr engine with 35k on clock

gmc 4-1 manifold
original magnex group A pugsport system
stainless induction filter


thats it for the engine

[Tuscan]

less of a gain that Phil then?

Hes running the quicky engine right? 75bhp. with raceland filter,mai, and some exhaust system.

[leeds106]

phils made 75bhp@ the wheel which matches the factory fly wheel figure of 75bhp

mine is 101@wheels which is 3bhp over the factory standard reading from the fly

so technically i made 3bhp more from pretty much same mods



im interested to see his torque curve though cos mine litrally is a straight line from 2k till 5.5k which is awesome usually the torque is a raising curve

[rich106quiksilver]

Sounds good :)

[gazz]

Thats not bad at all! So you still confident that your gunna beat him?

[leeds106]

always was mate,always was


but the interesting part is the proving ;) :D

[Fuzzy Orange]

Good figure that mate

Honestly dont know if i'm gonna be at the meet tomorrow

Was meant to be coming up with some lads from gainsborough - but check your PM :)

[Luke]

Good result mate, cant wait to see/hear the vids!

[Jimbo]

that's wicked mate! bet your glad with the results aren't u?

[pugginquik]

As with fuzz, that is a very good figure ! :)

[leeds106]

result was
101bhp@wheels
114bhp@flywheel
102lbs of torque

print out showing a very very healthy torque output right along the rev range

[foster-12]

What your spec to have it running at 101bhp? thats the same as a rallye and vtr isnt it?

[James.G]

hes got a 98bhp VTR engine, with pugsport, enclosed induction kit, and 4-2-1 mani..

good results :)

[Dan]

Seen you last night at the cruise mate with the results on display. :P

[Chris S]

man who'd have thought that vtr engine would pack such a punch :)

[pugginquik]

I cant see owt other than photobucket bandwidth exceeded ???

Get it sorted!! I wanna see the vids :P ;D

[Dan C]

Snap, cant see a thing.

[leeds106]

Seen you last night at the cruise mate with the results on display. :P

she needs some work i know lol

[rich106quiksilver]

I cant see owt other than photobucket bandwidth exceeded ???

Get it sorted!! I wanna see the vids :P ;D

Great results mate, i'd be happy with those readings!!

[leeds106]

[aidy]

you copying bastardo!!!!!

looking good lover. andy quite likes it too. now you need that carpet out and a full cage and some speedline comp2's you know it makes sense

[Quiksilver_TR]

Nice.

[sexy_gt]

so its not a photoshop then???
from the first pic i thought it was.

er...if it is real, why have you copied aidys???
it looks much better on aidys as his is white.

but very good effort though!!!!!

[pugjim]

I think if you added a red stripe the style somewhere, maybe below the blue one it would look better, looks alright how it is though.

[Dargs]

Diffrent

[Dan]

I thought lexus lights were the only way to make a quiky look terrible until I seen this...

[Marcs]

Its pretty rallye.

[Marcs]

I thought lexus lights were the only way to make a quiky look terrible until I seen this...
There is this...

[pugpup]

i agree with the lexus lights, no to keen on that kit either but then its each to there own x

[Chris S]

yeah.. as dargs said - different

[James.G]

it is very slag.. i would ditch the spoiler and rear lights tho.. to be more slag :)

[mikey_b]

yea it certainly is different, not my cuppa tea but whatever floats your boat!

[Quik_Pug]

yea im really not keen on that

Aidys looks really good though in comparison? I duno

[rich106quiksilver]

interesting, but unique!

[Tony]

sorry but that looks awful

The decals dont work with silver at all

[daddyjohnboy]

ummm not sure really, not my normal cup of tea but there is something about it !!

good effort though

[Steve Saunders]

Very slag, but im not really into all that stuff... Looks very unique though mate.. :)

[danvilla2]

slaaaaaaag!

Not my cuppa but at least we've got something different.

[vicky]

Don't think you choose a very good design tbh. :(

[joff16v]

it is different

i kinda like it


needs an off its head engine tho then all the exterior would be acceptable!

[leeds106]

its still got a few things left to be done to finish it off but i really like it


looks great in the daylight but not so good in the night light


but i dont expect many to like it but i love it so thats all i need :p

[Chris S]

good on ya mate :)

[J3DAY]

ummm...interesting?

[aidy]

Don't think you choose a very good design tbh. :(

[Gord]

Nice footage mate !

[leeds106]

id have rammed you out the way to get at nige mate lol



get yo ass to a track day session if we go down and do one there and build yaself up to driving all out cos donny is a great track once ya get to grips with it

[Scottthedon]

very impresseive mate :D im definatly going to have a car to go on the track next year, not too sure what yet but seeing this video makes me highly consider a rallye lol :rolleyes:

[Kam Racing]

looks very quiet out on track. How many cars were on at once?

[leeds106]

i aint driving a crappy rallye pal!
lol


vtr engined quiky kicking 16v 106 ass(ricky_p apart like lol)

[leeds106]

looks very quiet out on track. How many cars were on at once?


we had 22-25 cars out there on the BTTOS session


i was pushed on to go 5th but i wanted to go on halfway down the pack :(

was a blue gti driven by an instructor of donington 1st then type r then s2 rallye then a s1 rallye and then me


i finished 2nd as i never got a clear run to make any time up on the gti although im told by mates watching from the hills i was gaining on him so im happy :)

[Fuzzy Orange]

Nice vid mate

Got to say though your car does handle well - but your mates cant drive

The line he took in that civic type R was horrendous LOL

You need to give them some lessons ;)

[Dargs]

Nice vid! The corners look so much tighter in the vid than when your just spectating

[danvilla2]

great video

[Chris S]

awesome stuff :) you owned that type-r but it has to be said, he didnt drive that well :D
edit: also i love the handling of your car on the final two corners before the dunlop bridge

[106nick]

haha you killed a type r in a 106 :D

I LIKE!

[leeds106]

killed a scooby RB5 too but he was a dick and wouldnt move over to let me pass the git!

[leeds106]

well what with modded nationals coming up and me still waiting for my insurance company to win the case and fix my front end i tarted it up myself this weekend


how it looked
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/IMG_0122.jpg

bumper off and doing a few little things while i await for it to dry
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/20052007220.jpg

whipped off the rocket cover and painted it up along with ecu cover also

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/20052007219.jpg


all back together(not a perfect match but its better than it was till insurance respray the front end)
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/20052007222.jpg

then sunday i took a treck to harrogate to pick these up
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/20052007224.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/20052007223.jpg

wasnt sure how the black projectors would look with the rest of the car but i have to say it looks alot meaner now and there quite bright also

[Lacey]

ahhh WD40 in the pic, how appropriate.

Looking good though the projectors look mean! Heard a few problems though about bad fitting of projectors and leaking water, maybe something to look out for?

[leeds106]

these need the lense taking off and cleaning inside as the previuos owner didnt put the side lights in so some crap has got in through the hole but other than that the build quality of these is pretty damn good tbh


they look far better quality than the silver/chrome ones

[gazz]

I want those lights!!! Can't find any on Ebay anymore though :(

Looks nice mate, would look better with no front badge ;)

[Marcs]

looks loads better:)

[leeds106]

I want those lights!!! Can't find any on Ebay anymore though :(

[Daz]

im going to nationals aswell will have to look out for your car LOL
also were did you get your bonnet raisers from? ive done mine by putting a shit load of washers behind the hinges LOL but cant find proper ones!

[leeds106]

i did it the same way you have done yours


caould always make up some spacers with a block of metal with holes drilled in it tbh but washers did the same job and was quicker too

[leeds106]

after donny show track time ive missed having toyo so ive wanted some 15's again for a replacement for the steelie and i got a call this afternoon so went to pick these up :)

i love em makes the car look miles better then the steelies and if im honest i wasnt looking forward to letting them go but now there gonna be up for sale very soon

[Dak`]

Really really nice, they go really well with the rest of the car.

Good choice!

Dak` ;)

[gazz]

They look really good!

IMO much better than the steelies :D

[Ferg]

Yea defo better than the steelies.... suits the car well I think

[Luke]

Lovley wheels!

Much better than steelies. :)

[Marcs]

They do suit your car really well:D

[R191 CVC]

Very nice dude! good choice :)

[mikey_b]

[Jonnyh]

They suit your car really well mate, good choice :D

[G124EME_XSI]

they look shit hot.deffo alot better thn the steelies.

[Ryan]

nice :) gives it more of a rally look IMO :D

[Rallye James]

I quite liked the steelies (I would :p) but those look smart too. I love silver wheels on white cars. Would look better on Aidy's MO's though ;)

[paulydixon]

Krono's rock....end!

Did you get the centre caps? It took me fecking ages to find some :(

[leeds106]

mark who owns 106parts sells centre caps for em all the time on ebay mate

[chrischap2003]

Looks a million times better bud, i love chronos!

all you need to do now is lose the hedlights and go back to standard or back to morettes :-p

[jake 106]

looks reli nice m8 and reli sets the rest of your car
gd choice

Jake 106

[mikey_b]

i paid £35 for 4 centre caps direct from speedline, rip off lol

[leeds106]

yeah but they make the wheels look so much better so its kinda worth it

[leeds106]

gave it a quick jetwash and decided to take a few snaps :)

[Steve Saunders]

Much better mate.. They look great.. :D

[James.G]

[cknotty]

Very nice: have always loved the rally look!

Are you going to be doing some events in it?

[James.G]

looking good, love the chronos... would ditch a few things tho to make it more slag :)

[mikey_b]

yeah but they make the wheels look so much better so its kinda worth it

aye, was kinda gutted when they are just bits of plastic, and stickers you have to put on yourself! was expectin something half decent

[leeds106]

side repeters were put on for the mot but i havent got round to replacing them for something a little less flash yet


only doing track days in it cos its also my everyday car although im looking into doing a few hillclimbs in it for the fun rather tham to actually go there to win although the competative side of me will have me give it a damn good go lol

[leeds106]

spotted my car as i returned home from work this morning sat in the carpark lol





MEH NOONE EVER SPOTS ME SO THOUGHT FECK IT LOL

[darylb]

lol i can see mine out the college window lol

[Luke]

Leeds - Ive spotted you at Donny before now.

On the camping grounds if that counts!?

[ZestDeux]

haha nice one mate, believe it or not i spot my car every time i go to drive it :)

[joe106gti]

dont think that counts. lol. i love walking out to my car though, makes me grin. and i look at it as i walk away still

[WARDY]

lol @ mark good lad

[rich106quiksilver]

lol :D

[aimz]

lol!! i see my car everyday, and i always think 'wen i get some money im gonna .......' hasnt happened yet tho :(

[ZestDeux]

my girlfriends always like

"stop looking at your car!!" as i walk away lol

:)

[leeds106]

as some of you may know i stuck the 106 on ebay and currently its still on there with a day to go


had a shed load of interest in it and has over 30 watchers so far so be interesting to see how it finishes i guess




now for a few weeks ive kinda lost heart with it as its got a few flaws non of them major but enough to dishearten me about sticking with it after over 5 years of owning it(sounding like fuzzy yet ?lol)

now i know once i did the few things i want to do with it the car would be a real monster on road and hald its own even more on track
but im inpatient and keep getting fed up of getting obsticals in my way slowing me down or sometimes stopping me in my tracks on the way to what i wanna do with the car



today i sent a lod of messages to random cars i liked to see if they fancied a swap or part x and a few said no and a few said lets talk

currently im in a talk with a guy over his celica GT4 the newer round headlight shape(always liked em)


and now im getting my hopes up as its all going very well so far and everytime i get my hopes up with anyhting it all goes tits up lol


but on the other hand i also will be gutted to probably tears to see the 106 go too









in the words of fuzzy
HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! lol

[peedee]

Eeeeww, a toyota celica. Don't know why but toyota has never ceased to amaze me at the ugliness of all the celica's. The first one were poo, the second ones (round headlights) were a bit better but still ugly, and the 3rd shape is just downright pants. Probably the ugliest car out there imo.

Good luck though mate, hope ya get a good un'!

[leeds106]

im not overly fussed about getting something that might need a little work too it cos that way it will feel more like my own car


its pretty much standard so a good base to start in the world of turbo;d cars and its got luxury to boot

there not the fastest things on the planet but with some choice mods would be more than interesting to drive about


and insurance isnt a problem to me now on 99% of cars

[rich106]

well if it was up to me take it of road by a crap car/walk lol and do it that way and then theres no time limit but up to you mate if i had cash i would have it i know what a pure beast it is lol:p

[leeds106]

i thought about taking it off the road but everything i wanna get done on it wouldnt meen having to take it off the road anyhow

list is

adjustable suspension for a better road to track set up
bike carbs
cam
fix a few little things and tidy engine bay up in process


with the above mods i know for a fact it will be silly quick for an 8v and touch a 14 sec 1/4

its currently already faster than it should be so above mods can only make it quicker

[rich106]

that it whats stoping you :D your going to pack it on because of a few hold backs wheres yur balls boy :p

[leeds106]

well 1st of all i cant find an inlet for love nor money so meens having one made which not only costs also takes a long time
(boggs bros currently have a 8 week waiting period on inlets)


and ive had it 5 years and as much as i love it i just want to get my teeth into something new

ive driven so silly cars and although i dont wanna go daft i kinda want something different and something like the gt4 feels like a steady step towards turbohood lol

[rich106]

yh but can you not take 106 of road and stil get a gt4 1 for sale in the boro to red 1 lol :p

[peedee]

Get a 5gtt or something if you wanna go down the turbo root.

[leeds106]

not a big fan of r5's and id only ever buy one thats had the 1.7 volvo engine dropped under the hood



and no rich i cant afford to keep the 106 and get another car so to move on meens letting go of the 106

[rich106]

nnnnnnnnnooooooooo only if you take me shotgun on a day out b4 you sell it :D

[leeds106]

best not you would be more gutted you couldnt buy it then lol

and probably me too lol

[rich106]

well if ya in scarborough would be nice to see it go up in dalby i miss flying around the country in a 106 roll on 3 weeks should be back on road then ?:)

[leeds106]

shame your not going to french carshow or ya could have seen it there rich

[rich106]

yh i no lol i realy do have 17p to my name but do have a new dvd player for car and components and my gti discs and pads comeing makes it worth the while rather have car bits than food :D

[leeds106]

ah i remember them days lol


bought time ya was driving now though lad!

[rich106]

i no had the lil beast 2 years spent 3k and not even driven it much lol

[leeds106]

as a fair few people will be aware i am in the process of fitting R6 bike carbs onto my quikys VTR engine

over the past few weeks ive started to amass the parts i need

so far i have got:-

braided fuel hosing
fuel pressure gauge
inlet manifold
rubber coated pipe clips


on the to buy list so i can get onto fitting it all are:-

R6 carbs fully rejetted and rebuilt from shenpar
X2 fuel pressure regulators

45mm silicone hose


ill keep updating my post as i progress so people can see whats been done etc

[James.G]

wow, really intrested in this... same route as i was thinking yesterday, or was going to go for some GSXR bodies allthough i would need management for them.

how much are the R6s carbs costing you from shenpar? and do you know what bhp there 1.6 R6 xsi is running?

good luck with it...

and i loved the Team 8v t-shirt lol (if it was you?)

[leeds106]

the first part on was becoming the hardest part was to source an inlet manifold from my car


after endless calls it turned out noone makes them for the newer port spacings that the 2002+ TU 8v's have :(


so i managed to get one(big thanks to mat106)which ment it was all systems go :)

inlet

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/17072007001.jpg

first step was to cut off what i didnt want handyly there is a weld line across them that was just about in the perfect place so i used that
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/17072007002.jpg

[leeds106]

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/17072007003.jpg




still requires some trimming but the finished inlet isnt very far off

[Chris S]

this should be an interesting progress blog :)

good luck man!

[leeds106]

the inlet pipes are larger than i expected them to be(actually 40mm!)

a problem that would ultimatly reduce the possible power i could get from the carbs but something that could be sorted with a custom made inlet once id got it up and running


so ive not only saved myself about £200 by making this myself its also gonna be better than i expected too :)

[Luke]

I dont mean to sound a complete fool, but i'm not the most technically minded of people.

What are the advantages of using these?

[James.G]

have a read thorugh the shenpar xsi feature in last months PFC mate, basically like bike trottle bodies but without the expensive managment... i think lol.

[leeds106]

yeah basically they do what throttle bodies do but they dont require the expense of engine management

if i get this working i think i can have it all going and running for under £400

the advantages of bodies over carbs is they will use less fuel and run overall better but this is gonna cost no more than£400 whereas throttle bodies are upwards of £2500+


so for me the noise and a nice power increase and a massive wad of cash less than bodies makes it worth the while


the noise will be awesome and anyone who has driven an old car with carb will know how torquey carbs are
(something i want as we all know torque wins races bhp is for showing off)

[James.G]

i love them haha... read my post above leeds incase you didnt see it :)

my mates got webber 45 on his mini... hmmmm...

[Luke]

Thanks for clearing that up :)

[leeds106]

i keep getting told to go for bodies but in no way would i spend £2500+ on the car id rather just buy a new car if i had that cash to throw about


initially i want the noise
(something that will be verynice as the carbs point right at the driver hehe)

any power increase will be a plus

at 1st i will be running them on the enigne with a standard cam until i figure out which cam profile to go for

once its cammed and been to boggs bros for fully setting up correctly im hopeful of reaching around 125-130bhp+(current power is 113bhp)

not a mind blowing figure by any standards but the sheer torque it should put out should make it pull like a train to 110 pretty nice

[James.G]

130 is a good figure tho.

if all goes to plan i should have a VTR lump in there end of this years/start of 2008.

then will look into carbs some time after that...

will be good to see how you get on.

[ben306]

haha, good luck, I still say 16v.

Oh and jays has stopped working again haha.

[leeds106]

lmao sup with it now lol


and nah im staying 8v
cheaper to mod the way i wanna mod it and its nice to manage to keep with 16v 106's and even sometimes pass the odd one :p

[ben306]

will see what its like against a less modded and cheaper 16v, would be fun to see it against the spaxo, as I dont think Bic was gaining on him at all on the track at FCS, would have loved him to have gone out in the rallye, reckon he would have done Bic then, who knows

[Chris S]

130bhp out of a an 8V engine will be quite an impressive number :)

[joe106gti]

looks cool. nice idea and work going on there. hope you reach 130bhp. twin carbs then. 45s? i think weber are the best

[Wizza]

This is gonna be awseome once it's done!!!!

[leeds106]

well im hoping it will be :)

[leeds106]

pics of a few more parts ive got together so far

[WARDY]

looking good marc, you seen gaz wi burgandy xsi wi vtr lump in, he had is on rollers other week, 125.1bhp, cammed exhaust and filter, you shpuld easy get 130bhp

[rich106]

nice to see the ball rolling will it make sc21 ???:D

[leeds106]

doubt it mate think im gonna have to work that sat night :(

im off work the week after the cruise so im gonna try to get it all fitted intime for my camping trip up in lakes so i can tear up the country roads with my new toy :)

[JimmyBoy]

i wanna do this on my engine....is it possible?

[leeds106]

i wanna do this on my engine....is it possible?



of course it is


might not be worth it though if your still runing a 1ltr

but then again i guess you could always do the conversion and swap it all over later if you opt for a bigger engine

[Gina_G]

you going to be running a dizzy mate? or you going to keep the ecu for just spark?

I think there is a megajolt or along thos elines ignition only ecu around 80 iirc, looks good tho.

ps did the insurance sort the car out? did see it at fcs looked fresh

[leeds106]

nah gonna keep ecu for the spark


still waiting on insurance sorting front end out on the car
5 months after it happened the other day i get an accident report form to fill in


cant recall getting my insurance with the chuckle bros tbh but there ya go lol

[leeds106]

small update i now only need 1 regulator as i have got one already :)

http://i24.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/aa/ae/0a30_1.JPG

[Fuzzy Orange]

Do you have to use 2? Is it too much of a step down for 1?

[leeds106]

everybody that still uses the original fuel pump runs 2 regulators so im assuming that you need to run 2

[leeds106]

well with the weather being rather nice today i did some work on the inlet for the carbs

1st job was to seperate the pipes so i can pip the hosing round them to join them too the carbs


right side had been done just needs tidying
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/Photo-0011.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/Photo-0013.jpg

then was the problem of what to do about the brake servo which i sorted by using a few of the connectors from the unused part of the inlet
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/Photo-0016.jpg



one is from the original fixing for the brake servo the other is one of the oil brethers
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/Photo-0017.jpg

just had to drill a couple of nice tight fitting holes and stick them in :)
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/Photo-0018.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/Photo-0019.jpg

[leeds106]

its all coming along nicely

just waiting on nick from shenpar to get back to me about the R6 carbs

im payed in 2 weeks and ive only to buy the carbs and 1 more regulator and some more braided hosing and im all ready to bang them on

[James.G]

good work.... cant wait to see them on :)

[leeds106]

as well as playing eith my inlet for the carb conversion i decided to finally swap the anti roll bar over ive had a week or so as the weather was nice

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/leeds106qs/carb%20conversion/Photo-0021.jpg

[leeds106]

pics dont really do it justice to show just how much bigger it is over the quiky ARB but its noticable even when i didnt have them side by side

[leeds106]

i was told it would understeer more but tbh it just sticks better than it did


seems to over steer a touch more but i dont mind that


rear end seems to play nicely too which is something else i like

[James.G]

makes a good bit of difference aswell.. fitted mine with powerflex bushes, helped:)

[leeds106]

yeah im certainly impressed with how it feels even at slow speed it feels a little nicer to drive


i meen the car handels stupidly well as it is tbh but now it just feels a little less effortless to do what i used to do


but as they say at my work "every little helps" lol

[leeds106]

ill have a few little issues with connecting the carbs to the inlet i recon but its nothing a little modification wont sort


should hopfully all being well have it fired up and roaring into action in the next 20days :)

[slammed106]

you`ll love them mate!!!

a few points though

you can get away with using only 1 regulator (with return) but dropping from injection pressures down to about 3 psi means the adjuster is very sensitive

don`t use normal silicone hosing as the petrol will rot it out (oh and fluoro lined stuff is 80quid a meter) i cried when i bought this!!!!!

noticed your keeping ecu for spark so wirng ain`t an issue

16v?? i`d rather suck a nut!! with my shenpar engine its only gti`s on bodies and/or major cams that get away and only then its 80/90 plus

the carbs will come jetted enough to run but a trip to get them fine tuned will release a few more ponies.. nick uses mikeanics up in congleton for this and i rate him highly..

[leeds106]

yeah im gonna run 2 regulators so i can tune it easier

and ive got braided fuel hosing from a local carparts place which is only £3.50p a meter:)


yeah im ordering carbs direct from shenpar that have been rebuilt and jetted for my car so its all ready to go once they arrive
he wasnt too sure if he had any in stock yesterday and was a touch busy to go look at the time
but he will source me some and have em out to me in a week he said if not :)

[slammed106]

i meant the hose that joins the carbs to inlet mate..........

also mine were supplied "to suit" engine but unless bogg bros have now perfected the art it won`t be spot on...

[slammed106]

i meant the hose that joins the carbs to the inlet..........

also unless bogg bros have perfected the art (or nick uses somewhere else) they won`t be perfect.... mine ran well but mike still managed to get another 12 horses out of it....


oops ignore this!!!!

[leeds106]

ah right with ya on the hosing now


ill be having it all set up after while anyhow

at 1st im gonna have it running all by myself best it will until i cam it once ive got the cam in it ill be taking it for a full set up

saves 2 trips for it setting up and the cost that way

[leeds106]

question for you though about the brake servo

how many pipes did you tap yours into cos on normal intake its technically plummed in to run off all 4

my mate runs his off only one and has lost some peddle feel till it gets low


im hoping unning mine on just 2 should be fine as most carb conversions seem to only run the servo from 2 of the intake pipes

[slammed106]

definatly...... the cam`ll mean any fine tuning done on the carbs will need re-doing...

what are you doing about airfilter??

[slammed106]

my servo only sucks off the nearest inlet tract can`t say i`ve noticed much pedal difference but everything was fully braided and bias valve fitted at same time as engine...

the dizzy was plumbed up into this vaccum line aswell but mike removed it as it was causing a fluttering on the advance so the dizzy`s non-vacuum now not that any of that bothers you as you ain`t running 1 hahaha

[leeds106]

definatly...... the cam`ll mean any fine tuning done on the carbs will need re-doing...

what are you doing about airfilter??


initially for a week or so im gonna steal my mates spare set of filter socks but im looking at getting the small 40mm k&n's as they seem a better fit and i know socks can be sucked in or eaten away by the carbs sucking at them

[leeds106]

my servo only sucks off the nearest inlet tract can`t say i`ve noticed much pedal difference


ah well ill be running it from 2 so should be ok for sure on 2 then if yours has been ok on 1

[slammed106]

dunno how true or not it is but i`ve heard the individual ones can strangle the engine..


better than nowt though!!!!

oh 1 more thing!!!!! throttle cable....... if your happy to fit carbs this won`t pose much of an issue but it`ll need addressing.. i ended up with a tandem (uber long) brake cable on mine... but the pedal travels bloody short you get use to it though

[leeds106]

ill buy a new cable as there silly long the ones GSF sell as there universal for the s1 and s2

should be quite easy to fit once the inlet is all off what with the extra space

[leeds106]

any chance you could take some close up pics of your bay and the carbs so i can use them as a reference if needs be come the day i fit mine?

[G124EME_XSI]

wow.this is a cool thread.cant wait to see these up and running.
alot cheaper than i thought aswel.
how much will it be thought wen u take it for the fine tuning once they're fitted??

[leeds106]

suppose the cost will depend on how much time they put into tunning it and how they tune it


guess if its on a rolling road and spend about 2 hours or so doing variuos runs to fine tune it to the best then its worth every penny as ill know what its making power wise too :)

[slammed106]

mines been on the road now about 2 years and i still grin with the noise!!!

and with wiring tidied:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/slammed106/engine.jpg

yours will be a bit different as your not running a dizzy..

may i recommend 2 products that will assist you at ALL stages of this they`ve both helped me IMMESLY:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/slammed106/picture2-2.jpg

[leeds106]

what cam you running and how does it do come mot time for the emmissions?


also did you ever run it with carbs on standard cam if so how it feel with the carbs on to standard?

also what power yours running at and if ya have what 1/4 times you managed?

[leeds106]

sorry to rabbit on but im like a kid at xmas at the moment cant wait to fire it up and go for that 1st drive


im gonna spend a fortune on fuel cos ill be booting it everywhere to hear the noise lol

[G124EME_XSI]

^^ could of sworn user name slammed_106 had a red xsi?? or is this a different chap? perhaps im thinkin of slammed_xsi!!??
oh well in anycase that engine bay is pure sex..very clean.now all the wiring is sorted anyway.lol

[slammed106]

what cam you running and how does it do come mot time for the emmissions?


also did you ever run it with carbs on standard cam if so how it feel with the carbs on to standard?

also what power yours running at and if ya have what 1/4 times you managed?


emmissions!!!! eek... well....

with the dizzy set to 12degrees of advance the emmisions are HIGH but backed off to 0degrees it JUST scrapes through with a friendly tester

the cams a PIPER fast road 285deg i think.. next time you call shenpar speak to Rob he`s the engine builder and specc`d / built all of mine

powerwise its about 140brake but its had just about everything done to it they could do..

1/4 times... STILL aint run it had a few disasters every trip to the pod so far last 1 being clutch dying alcon paddles on there now though so we`ll see.. on the road.. clio 172`s civic type R`s etc are mine up to about 80/90 with my box its revvin its nuts off by 125 and they come past

[leeds106]

he is running a dizzy so there is no wiring to worry about lol


ill just have to hide them away somewhere lol

[leeds106]

0-100mph is about all im fissed about so its all sounding good so far :)

[slammed106]

he is running a dizzy so there is no wiring to worry about

exactly the french ain`t noted for there wiring prowess so i ripped this lot out:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/slammed106/3.jpg

[G124EME_XSI]

he is running a dizzy so there is no wiring to worry about lol


oh !! :confused: wots all that buissnes in the top picture?

[leeds106]

guessing that just before it was all ripped out and chucked in the bin lol

[slammed106]

oh !! :confused: wots all that buissnes in the top picture?


haha don`t worry... a LOT of thats standard injection loom that i stripped down so i could pick out the wires i could keep and those i could remove thats all bud

[G124EME_XSI]

i see i see.
lets hope santa clause brings me plenty of money...
*rubs his hands while thinkin of carbs*

[leeds106]

hmmm just thinking on the emmisions side of things


might have to make up a special "MOT time system"

consisting of 3 cats along the system lol

[slammed106]

yeah i`ve got a std exhaust sat in the workshop that gets yearly fittings!!

you might be ok as your keeping ecu which`ll adjust timing better than a dizzy..

out of interest what are you doing about the now redundant injector holes in the head?? or are they in the inlet on your engine??

G124EME: haha there bloody addictive mate on any engine...not as refined and perfect as bodies but sooooooooo much cheaper!!

[leeds106]

the redundant injector holes are gonna be filled with the redundant injectors

i know you can get specially made bungs to fit in them to block them off but im trying to keep costs down as much as poss


mainly due to the fact noone has fitted carb's to a 3plug ecu engine so ive no idea if this is even gonna take on a 3plug as there suppose to be a bit smarter than the single plug ones


so until i know for sure im spending as little as poss

[slammed106]

rob and nick`ll sort you out mate...

i`m now planning my next spree up there!!

[leeds106]

think i might be paying him a visit once its all running to show him how its gone as he was rather interested in it once he knew noone else had done it to this engine


the engine in its currant state is already far quicker than it should be so ive got my hopes up of it being a touch better once its finished too

[Nick106]

How hard is it to change it over?

[G124EME_XSI]

a guessing the XSI's will come with a standard arb?
is this the same as the gti one already or not???

[James.G]

thats the GTi 22mm one by the look of it.

and they are well easy to change over :)

[Fuzzy Orange]

Had this done to mine for 2 years - what took you so long ;)

Told you it makes the car a little easier to play with. With the gti rear torsion bars and arb, and powerflex mounts everywhere its really easy to shift weight balance and play with the back end

[leeds106]

took me long enough to finally find one more like


seen em on ebay but somethings always stood in the way of me getting one thats all

[leeds106]

was pretty easy to fit it although i did it the hard way by not removing the exhaust so it took a little jiggling about to get the old out and the new one on lol


i would say unless your semi cinfident i wouldnt bother trying it as the drop links can sometimes prove a kightmare if you dont have the correct tools to do it the easy way

[aidy]

looks like we're doing my rear bushes soon marky warky!

shame their so expensive when you add postage and vat!

[leeds106]

ask nick to chuck them in the box with my bike carbs if you order em from shenpar aidy

[Wizza]

Sounds mint... Can't wait to see the finished product Mark!!!

[woody_aztec_si]

what fuel pressure are you going to be running through the carbs?

[leeds106]

around 2.5-3 psi

[woody_aztec_si]

do you no of any 1 who could make me a inlet manifold for a early 106 1.4 spi coz i cant cut 1 up like urs coz its all metal. also how much u payin 4 the carbs?
