phase 1.5 reversed inlet
no real reason for doing it... just had to be done to be different lol:lol1:
i dont see any gain in performance or throttle responce... nor did i expect it! last year http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...howPics131.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...6/DSC06097.jpg 2012 http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...DSCF0076-1.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...DSCF0065-1.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...DSCF0067-1.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...DSCF0072-1.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...DSCF0069-1.jpg |
Thats well nice mate! One clean classic
|
How difficult was it to do? Did you carry the work out yourself? Very nice bay you have there looks good!
|
Looks good, who did the pipework, like the bracket off the alternator to keep the pipe in place, just about to do the same to mine
|
Wasn't your RA running Compomotive wheels and totally bare without bodykit or spoiler? Did you add these on recently? :wonder:
|
Thanks... yes all done myself over a week end apart fron painting the alternator. All needed in my case was a length of 12mm and 8mm coolant hose to move the coolant reservoir. other stuff like parallel fuel rails already done and I had another manifold modified and painted ready to go on. All hoses and pipework bought from ASH (auto silicone hoses) :)

Thats very nice, looks extremely clean mate, I prefer the black manifold to the green one.

i used an alloy bracket off a car with aircon, drilled it and stuck a bolt through it, fabricated a foot for an adjuster and mounted the alternator on the other side of the bracket upside down. the belt is far longer than standard and needed a tdi golf timing belt idler pulley bolted to the front of the alternator bracket to divert the belt away from the i/c pipe... works fine :)
cool. i have my engine out and have always wanted to do this mod just never had the balls my donor car has aircon so it has a bracket :thumb: do you have any more piicys ? |

I've got a spare Ph 1.5 manifold that I'm planning on doing the same with. Higher res pics the better if you have more, that you're willing to share. |
I've got a bracket that I chopped up ready to use to convert for the mod before I bought the Carl davey kit, it's yours if you want it Maggs although it's the same colour green as my manifold and wheels if you remember them
