Octavia I Steevie Wonders Silver bullet engine build

[Steevie Wonder]

Here we go then.......

Cars going tomorrow to Jabba for the full strip down and rebuild to the following spec:

1.9 20v Owens/Garrett gt30 turbo

AGU ported/flowed head

Supertech inconel/nitrade valves

JE pistons

Scat rods

Baffled sump

Genesis 550cc injectors

Inline Bosch fuel pump

Various enlarged pipes etc. etc.

I'm hoping for a very useable 440bhp and 400/410ibs/ft torque.

Here are some pics of the new turbo:D More to follow very soon.

Enjoy!!

GT30? :eek: You mentalist!!!

Good luck with it, should be quite a monster!

[TeflonTom]

that lot most be costing a fair old few quid, are the valves custom build or are they an off-the-shelf item?

[Delcac]

GT30......you must be mad!

Owen Developments turbo :drool: had one of their turbos on my Rs:cool: They certainly know what they are doing

Good luck with it

OMG that's a bit big - that's gonna be pretty interesting LOL

[bengie]

its not a gt30 as such Tom its a hybrid between an IHI of some sort and a gt30 so will be very interesting to see the results

but as others have said owen are very very good for turbo's and have been in the business of building WRC turbo's for years so definitly know what they are doing

[k04]

Love to see how this turns out

The economic situation obviously isnt affecting your pockets

Certainly gunna be a contender for delcacs machine

Hope you get lots of pleasure and fun out of it!!!!!!!!

All the best mate,

This is why i wish i earned more money. Thats cars going to be insane. If its anything like delcacs red one you will have a ridiculously quick motor. I got a cabby in delcacs when i was at Impossible Performance and it was ridiculously fast.

I bet you aching to get in in now, lol

[Fezboy]

I bet you can't wait for it to be finished

Your going to have even more fun now

[AlphaPapa]

I loved your octavia already! Its going to be a force to be reckoned with me thinks.

[jabba_luke]

Its looking good

Owens are very good at building turbos, which makes it pretty easy for us to tell them the spec we want to make it work.

Its a little bit of a wierd one really, as technically its a GT30/Owens hybrid with a IHI fitment, so apart from the flanges being cast the same as an IHI by Owens nothing else is IHI.

I have the slightly bigger version on my Audi but its being restricted by the standard small port head at the min... but based on mine with 4wd i would say you have my upmost respect for doing this to a 2wd car its going to be a monster

Luke,

It may be worth noting that yours is still running the standard mahle pistons (81mm) hence the reletively low 412bhp:rofl:

You should do yours up to a 2 litre when your AGU head goes on:eek::eek: F*ck me that would give you whip lash when you floor it!!!

Very true, standard BAM pistons in fact

2.0 is on the cards, along with a few other goodies but time is the issue at the min as im supposed to be going to germany in may! and i have got lots of other bits to do before then to the race car, so it could be going back in as a 1.8 seeing what the flowed AGU does and then take it back out for the 2.0 ... fun

[Steevie Wonder]

My freshly bored out block ready and waiting.....

[Leeboy]

Top project, make sure you get a nice progressive map so you can stand a chance of getting the torque to the tarmac without stripping tyres!

[Steevie Wonder]

AGU large port head, just gone a bit bigger.....

The modified inlet manifold, ported to match the enlarged inlets ports on the cylinder head...
