205 Mi32 Project - The Twin Mi16 Engined 205

[cybernck]

in a quite eventful second part of the Phase 8 story, MegaSquirt ECU gets built up:




turbocharger get's temporarily mounted on the car:




and VEMS WBO2+EGT system gets installed and running:




you can find the second part of the story (with 32 pics) on THIS PAGE.


thanks.

can you explain that for me please?

I´ll try.
For whatever reason most of the times every thread concerning that very special topic turns into a big flame war between 2 or more groups of people - who have all one thing in common.
No turbo - but BIG knowledge.
So you can imagine it doesn´t take too long before on side runs out of arguments and starts getting either personal or off-topic - just like me right now.

Those who really know & own dont talk that much at all.


But there are two things which will prevent losing control this time:
a)language
b)your reputation concerning engineering

After getting 2 MIs synced and running in a 205 shell - even for our "experts" it would be hard to doubt your seriousness about simple things like putting pressure where it belongs.

Good luck !

Looking forward to those fine pictures and videos.

10000000% Agree

the third part of the Phase 8 story!


we get the engine running, with fueling managed by MegaSquirt ECU:




then we turn our attention to boost cooling setup:




and finally - fit larger, "turbo-ready" fuel injectors:

i'll hope you'll decrease the compression and not only mount a turbo on this high-compressed engine :-)

the xu alloy-engines aren't really turbo-compatible

hi Stephan.

well it's been successfully done before this way.

to remind you, it's a J4Z/DFW/CAT engine with 9.5-9.7:1 C/R.


edit: i thought it was obvious, but i'll add that we're planning on
running low boost, like ~0.5 bars, not the proper boost level
you might have been thinking of .

[cybernck]

just a little explanation, as the story makes it look like we're
doing a whole turbo conversion in just a weeks time - Phase 8
updates are not "in real time", we've been doing preparations and
gathering parts for a few months but i've decided that it's best
to present it all logically grouped and arranged step by step,
at the same time as actually doing the conversion .

thanks.

the fourth part of the Phase 8 story!


in this update - turbo mounted, exhaust made and chargecooler installed:



it was time to start it up and go for a drive as it was a race with time
to get in time on a race (402SR event) , which starts tomorrow!

thanks.

Yeah! Sounds good

video from the first turbocharged test-drive available here:

the test drive was successful, so we headed off for the 2nd day of the race!

[cybernck]

sorry for the long delay, i've been very busy lately.


here's the story about our 4th competition event of the season:

402 Street Race - Varazdin (CRO) - 08/Jul/07



after completing the turbo conversion on the rear engine only
the previous night, we decided to go to the 2nd day of the event.

you can see the full picture story (with 32 pics) on THIS PAGE.


and here's the video clip that goes with the story:
