Hi all

Irene Dairy Farm for this years AGM

So I'm posting this so that the experts can tear it to shreds.. 

This is so that the expensive mistakes can try and be avoiding as much as possible.

So I'm planning a turbo build.

So far I've got the following parts:

Evo Water Pump
Metro Turbo Oil Pump
Unleaded valve seats
3.1 diff 

Parts still to come:

HT EVO Cam

Then this is where I need some direction. 

My plan is as follows:
1275 +20thou pistons (Hypatec)
1100 Crank
1100 rods
Std bottom end
3.1 diff. 

Based on the above I know about 5mm is supposed to come off the block.
However I want to see if I take a little less off and can then avoid the use of multiple head gaskets. 

Cylinder head:
Unleaded valve seats. 
Currently already has gts size valves in. 
Port/polish and flow. 

Minispares intake manifold
Hif turbo carb (not sure on needle either - from some of my turbominis research it seems most use the BDD needle.)
Garrett T2 - mounted over the clutch/bell housing. 
Locally made plenum (if I can figure out what some of the terminology means of the turbo mini forum)

My issue lies with dizzy. 
Is it possible to use a normal dizzy (converted to electronic) to run the turbo motor?

AFR gauge will also be a definite.

The plan is to run up to 1 bar max boost. 
I want something that pulls like a bit of a train but is reliable doesn't sit parked for months on end because everytime it does run it breaks.

I've roughly worked out compression on the motor as follows:

Turbo Motor Comp Ratio by Dominique Bernardino, on Flickr

The main thing bring the compression down is the mm below deck height. 
If I increase the mm below deck height to 3mm then the comp ratio drops to 7.8 which I may think might be a better option. 

A picture of the head to be used for reference, will be redone for obvious reasons.

Let me know what you guys think and what I've left out.

[url=][/url]Hi guys so I know the golf discs and calipers fit just wanted to find out how much space is left Between caliper and rim? I have a 13"x6 with a 35 offset. Would the offset cause an issue?

howzit guys

Hi Gents

as most of you know i was trying to sell my GTS project complete seeing as though its a matching numbers car and almost everything is there to build it back to original unfortunately i have not been able to find a buyer. im considering splitting the car up if i can get all the parts accounted for. GTS Shell with original tags in place and papers , all glass in place as well(licence expired 2015) - R6000, GTS motor with original tag, engine will be complete with starter motor, alternator , dizzy and radiator - R6000, already been removed from the car, GTS 3 clock cluster - R1000, would probably need a refurb, 8.4 inch GTS disc brake system - R3500. 

othewise R15000 for the car complete, everything is located in Pietermaritzburg.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a 1275 engine, preferably in the Western Cape.
I could probably make use of an 1100 as well if anyone has one of these.

Thanks for any replies.
