 |
|
Well, think i put up a thread about my car. Maybe someone is interested. 
Bought it in 2011 and it was pretty stock then.
Had a plan of German looker style.
The engine was a AN 1800cc from 411/412, Double carbs that didnt make any one happy...
So a Megsquirt of the first gen. was installed.
Running N/A and on E85.
Went for 7*17" Fuchs replicas from JBW and Porsche 924 seats.
Drived like that in summer 2012.
But i like to change the style of my vehicles so in summer 2013 i hade to change some things.
Porsche 7*17" Porsche cup2 wheels, white roof and a turbo to speed up the car.
T25 turbo from Garrett, 350cc injectors. Everything is custom made by me and my friend.
Hade to do a clean up of the engine to.
And now it´s 2014 and something new had to be done.
So new wheels of course.
Well thats it for now. Also have 4,5" Porsche steel wheels so i can go more stock if i want to.
The Porsche seats is out for stock seats. But an old racing seat will fit the driverside when i`m running on 17" wheels.

It's great to see this as my Square is basically the car in the first picture. I clearly have a lot of work to do.

Yes the engine is stock inside. Maybe it produces 130-140hp, 0.6-0.8 of boost,. Ran 15.63 at 1/4.

Took the Square out for the first wash this year. Now its back in the garage and the MS efi is sent away for som rebuild.
Will be nice to controll the ignition. Have run it with fixed ignition and the cold start is not the best with E85.

| Does this all fit under the decklid? Interested in measurements of the turbo system, as it looks nice and clean and tucked in sk nicely. Got a 2L and it is screaming to be turbo'd. |

| I am glued to this thread. Such a clean and tight engine compartment. This is exactly what the square on air needs... |

Snyggt!
Nyfiken på turbobygget/setup.
Har en 1600 TLE som jag lurar att smyga ner en turbo i.
Tänkte testa med allt original + turbo.
Alt. riva ut motorn, nya lager, cyl/kolv (ökad volym) mm sedan turbo på det.
