Morning all. I'm Phil and I'm a Fury-o-holic. I built my Fury back in 2003-06 with a Honda Blackbird bike engine. Having grown up a bit, and having blown up 3 bike engines, I am now converting to 20vT power. I apologise if this is not a VAG vehicle (feel free to shoot me down) but you guys have given me very welcome advice and some may be interested in my progress - it is a work in progress... My plan is to marry a BAM 20vT to a Mazda RX8 six speed gearbox. The project has seen me cut out my transmission tunnel, remake my pedal box and design a converter plate to connect the engine to the transmission. I will post up some photos and, if there is any interest, provide updates as I work through to completion.
We've got well documented build threads for a Citroen C2 BAM conversion and a RX 8 so yours will fit in nicely with the odjobs crew threads . Remember we love lots of pictures and for a 10 membership you get masses of advice ( we also tease sometimes but in good fun ) and posting pictures is also easy as you can upload directly to your build thread . Welcome to clubgti a conversion builders dream site lol
Awsome it'll take a while for your pack and status to be sorted but if I nudge the right people may not be to long Start your build thread in the members gallery I can't wait as I love looking at build work rather than slamming or gay RED cars lol
Hello Phil It looks like it's going to be a tight fit! We have another RX8 on this forum with a 20VT, might be worth reading through the thread.
Hi Phil Good to see some pics as mike said there is plenty of info on here but I'm sure your more than capable Look forward to the build thread What sort of power were the bike engines producing?
I was only running 150 at the wheels. My plan was to turbo the Bird and to take it to 250. Engine #3 went pop (driven gear of Pace dry sump pump lost its teeth after 1000 miles) and I threw my teddy. As it happened I bought a BAM engine direct from VW a few years ago for another project that divorce prohibited so.....
BTW I have tried to upload more photos and the site is rejecting them. I have reduce res to less than 1MB. Any ideas why theyare being rejected?
not sure the exact limit Matt above would be the person to ask as He is the boy who pushes all buttons settings wise along with Aminder
