My cga3de +t build

[pork]

I had tdo4 on my ma10, spooled up quick enough for such a TINY engine, then it was savage!

 

[Stani1029]

How did you find it before it blew up?

Me? It was fantastic, but with the plan to build all new and the td05 being about £200 new it seems a good option.

I feel inadequate with my t3

7psi, ta m8

I feel inadequate with my t3

T3 is bigger than t25 and td04 or at least that's what I've been reading

 

[h701micra]

It is indeed but its heavier and slower spooling especially as its sub 10psi I'm wanting to run

 

[karlj]

Just run higher, problem solved

 

[Stani1029]

T3 is similar size to TD04, not much in it

Is that the saab or scooby one because from what I was reading the saab one is slightly smaller than the scooby

 

[h701micra]

Its all in the way they mount. Saab's a conventional fit compared to the top fit scoob model
I'd love to run more boost.... means more money and work. It'll come one day

Im using the subaru one

Small update....

I've hit a small problem with the strip down of the engine, I've ran out of space and storage so I can't actually continue until I find somewhere to put everything

 

[h701micra]

Cheap argos storage box was my solution
With tarpaulin cover

 

[karlj]

I'm going to checking out a couple of furniture charities to see if they have anything suitable

You need shelves or something mate?

 

[karlj]

Shelves and boxes for storage but that's getting sorted next week whilst I'm off work

 

[solarice]

Shelves and boxes for storage but that's getting sorted next week whilst I'm off work

Just hide everything under the chairs, tables and in drawers etc...no one will ever know.

 

[karlj]

I can't kris I've got a toddler

 

[h701micra]

Karl wont be able to hide anything... unless its locked away.. up way high or in a different country

 

[karlj]

Even that may not be enough

 

[karlj]

update

Should have a coil pack engine wiring harness, ecu and all the nats stuff next week thanks to Belly

 

[pollyp]

might be useful

what you got planned for a crank sensor karl ?

 

[karlj]

You're right Paul that might be

 

[karlj]

what you got planned for a crank sensor karl ?

At the moment nothing but I'm open to suggestions

 

[frank]

At the moment nothing but I'm open to suggestions

i would try and mount the coilpack one into the g/box mate, and use an auto coilpack trigger ring on the back of your f/w

 

[karlj]

Could I not just use a coilpack gearbox, surely that'd be simpler

rocking horse poo karl (all the ones round here get shipped to germany @ £200 each, to go onto the 1.5 n16,s), and coilpack f/w and different starter under the inlet mani

 

[karlj]

Ahh ok.... Could I not use an aftermarket sensor and wheel or a fiat one like you suggested on cisco's?

 

[frank]

if its a compatible signal, sure, the coilpack ecu may only accept the 58 teeth + 2 missing teeth signal tho ? a standalone can probably be programmed to various hall effect or optical or whatever number of teeth

 

[karlj]

When you say 58 plus the missing two is that 58 teeth plus the space for 2 more (60 total)?

 

[frank]

yeh

 

[karlj]

Cool

 

[karlj]

Could I not put the trigger wheel on the crank pulley rather than the f/w, would make it easier to mount the sensor

 

[Noddie]

I did. Check my blog or ask SirChris for pics. Can you get 58/2 trigger wheels? Could always get one laser cut if not I guess. If you got one custom made you could make it fit the pully better possibly.

Its the way I prefer personally just shield the sensor

 

[Stani1029]

So whats the plan karl? To run coilpacks?

Cheers Ed will ask him in a bit.

Yes you can get 58/2 wheels but they're over in America

So whats the plan karl? To run coilpacks?

For the power I hope to get yes and like I've tried saying before this engine has never and will never be destined for Charlie

 

[Stani1029]

So surely youd be better buying a coilpack micra where all the bits are there and working? And since the engine isnt going near the super-s

 

[karlj]

That's true it would be, but where's the fun in that

The plan is to put it into a k10 chassis once I've convinced the bank manager to let me have one

 

[Stani1029]

Lol i suppose, cant say i do things the easiest way. Wouldnt the nice bank manager let you go standalone? Haha

 

[karlj]

Probably not lol she wouldn't like the prices

I never thought I'd say this Karl but you've got me all excited!

 

[karlj]

If you like that, then you'll like what I'm hoping to make.... Per ton

 

[karlj]

But that's a loooong way off

 

[MicrAde]

If you like that, then you'll like what I'm hoping to make.... Per ton

Is that to be a surprise or do we get to know your target figure?

 

[karlj]

357.14 if I've got the weight of a k10 right

 

[MicrAde]

Bloody hell that's quite precise

 

[karlj]

It's cause I rounded the numbers up to the nearest 10 and I don't know the weight of a cga3det k10

 

[h701micra]

That'd be more than the impreza micra
Engineless and interiorless k10 is 580kg iirc
