VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 It would be done sooner, however I'm out the county for a couple of weeks literally a day after GTI festival so it's just gotta wait! Dave_ciw 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dom.joy 87 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 What fittings did you get welded to the sump? Link to post Share on other sites
c00k 435 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) It would be a AN fitting, Usally called AN weld in fitting or bung. Something like this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/171218256266 The 10 on the end is the size of braided hose. So you can get AN-4, AN-6, AN-8, AN-10, AN-12. The numbers are for different size braided hose. Edited September 16, 2015 by c00k dom.joy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ah spot on.I can measure my charger when it comes to work out what size I need. Unless anyone knows what size a Vortech V1 will use for feed and drain hoses. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Not much progress at the moment. Waiting for spacer plate to be posted along with my intake pipe. Just need to source an air filter like this in the UK...And also looking for a oil catch can setup. It's all back together now, torqued up etc...Just to give you an idea of the size! daveyboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 That's a decent size blower Pete. My mate has been offered a supercharger set up for an R32 for £1k I wonder if it'll fit my 4mo lump Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Update time!!!!Well I'm back from my trip to Romania and Germany!Drank way too much beer (ever heard of a beer wheel?) had one in Romania. Bad idea. Didn't expect 11 pints!!Germany was mega! Arrived in time for a massive festival of beer and Sausage in Furth! Naturally bought back some goodies! Litre can of beer! bennyk and cactusjackslade 2 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 So update on the car!Good news is that air filter is on order from US. $35 ordered it via a mate in USA and shipping via him to me.Got the intake pipe back and have to say has been fabricated really well! Welds are amazing and will great under the bonnet!Also had the spacer made. It's good enough considering all I had was a drawing from a mate in the USA. Bolts align and that's all that matters really!Also bought a catch can off Mike on here so that's another item off the list!Next is to mock it all up so can measure what length belt I will need in advance of fitting. Hoping to get it fitted in a couple of weeks all being well!Pete D11PS, daveyboy and Bealieboy 3 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 AfternoonHad half hour at lunch with the car to start mocking things up. Supercharger bracket bolted up. Out comes evap canister.Intake pipe looks at home Ordered a Walbro 255 in tank fuel pump and some new 2.8mm MAF terminals as wires started to break on the plug. bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Nice one Pete, but I hope your gonna paint that charger bracket There's not really much you can see to be honest - but tempted to give it a once over with some black rattle cans so its a bit more stealth like daveyboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dom.joy 87 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Looking good mate VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Quick update for today!Got duel idler on and bolted up the charger, this is mainly so I can measure what size belt I need Looks quite at home in there.Measured up what diameter silicone couplers I need as I wasn't happy with what I have with the kit due to being damaged and not blue Got my MAF terminals today so I can repair the plug.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 So. We have a bit of a problem Don't see it yet?It appears that at some point the bracket has become a little bent. Will obviously need to get this sorted before proceeding any further.Had my hose couplers turn up today so another thing off the list. Also need some 90degeee AN fittings as Mike foul on chassis leg.
