Badger Wagen now running on its new engine.. The Badger-mobile is back... collected from my friends @ Jabba Saturday. Engine is now running 83mm 8.5:1 JE pistons, forged rods, ported largeport head, Supertech valves, PE1820 turbo, 3" DP (Dans), Dual Plenum intake manifold, oil cooler, 520cc/3bar injectors and RS4 MAF (last 2 to be fitted prior to mapping) Runs without ABS now and aircon system has been removed. - mucho weight reduction. Mapped in a week or so, when I have got as many miles on it as possible in the mean time. oil cooler finally
Hoping for 400bhp/400lbft, but we will have to see. I can dream Lighter car will yield most performance gains I think. Cars on a diet as is its owner/driver. Morphing car into a race car for Combe C'ship next year. (I will retain it as a road legal car for fun tho)
Sounds good Bill, hope the new spec is reliable and does the biz! Another visit to Brunters once run in?
Still looks innocent externally! Monster performance with 400odd BHP... How long are you hoping to get out of each gearbox with that power Bill??
Even filling on cylinders is the theory from the dual bit. As seen on WRC cars and Dahlback version which I tried but did'nt like cos it would not go large port and was too tall to clear ibiza bonnet line.
Could you not find a bigger throttle body or do the pics make it look small?? Its gonna fly..... as if it never did before
looking good mate , what happened to your old engine then ? can't wait to see it in action . Edited by: gillm
Throttle body is stock size for now. Will see how it goes. Should hopefulyl flow enough. Mani plenum makes throttle looke small in piccies tho.
I retired the old engine. Did 343bhp just before it was removed at Jabba. Ring blow by was getting pretty bad I think as the breather system was chuffing a lot. Did'nt know about the TSR day.. but yea maybe if its back in time and running right. Whens the TSR day?
LOL, yea I know I know.. it lets it down. Its actually compressed air line hose.. still pooe I know. Want some better looking see thru hose tho. anyone know of any?
