Ah, the "MAP Daddy" :) We went to one of those a while back on the 740. Spot-on piece of kit.

cheers

yearh had a few problems , as it ended up been a faulty sensor ,anyway now replaced and up at 27psi , just glad its 4wd to give the tracksion effect , also broke a gearbox mount so upratted that too along with a powerflex mount to hardern things up, had some snow fun too

heres the link guys ,(for runing standalone megqsquirt ms1/2)

just contact phil on his homepage highly recomended guy, very helpfull, with help/suport, and he will suject best ecu for ur engines setup ,
(you,ll see a caddy pic of mine on there too, 27psi on a stand alone ms2 ecu ,,,

thought this would be of use as theres loads of standalone systems out there which are pricey to buy, the kits are brand new, and assembled to a high standed, as complete with labled wireing loom, instalation cd, etc ,,,as i know this kit was setup and tunied and runs/boosts a treat , once the niggy tunieing parts were sorted out ,,,

ive a bad update yes another engine has failed on the crankshaft , after doing some research on the 24v engines either 2.8/ 3.2 they all have a crank problem with bearings/spun bearings , after i spoke with some companys regards this problem , they said it dose help useing upratted bearings and arp bolts , but the problem will still havin , as there unsure if its the steel of the 24v cranks or the bearings/or crank oil ways or oil pump issuises , so ive decided to call it a day , too un relieable and costly .

so whats next , ive decided to go back to oringal idea and use a mk3 12v vr6 and turbo that , they cheeper to replace, and i should be able to get 20psi from it ,, i know they dont look as good , and maybe a little down on power , but once ive re adapterd it to a turbo , verything should run smooth (fingers crossed)
first the bargin 65.00 ford galaxy engine lol (cd-v6) bought from a auto with a headgasket failure ,, (cheep and cheerfull ) bought it thursday
first the engine

http://i49.tinypic.com/1z1z5ud.jpg
then stripped it/bores look good, crank looks good/ill replaced the timing chains/tensionors/giudes while its out tbh as these are own to be rattley buggars

http://i46.tinypic.com/v5g3tl.jpg
next went out and got some piping to make a new exhaust manifold as i carnt use thoses vr6 turbos as theres no room for my turbo
http://i45.tinypic.com/2pq2tz6.jpg
and just had time to chop a collector
http://i49.tinypic.com/vnftoi.jpg
then removed the old vr manifolds and noticed some are ovel ,so modifyed the pipes
to fit

ill make a start on the flanges and start assembly when the engines all built in the caddy and use my 02m gearbox so i can keep it 4wd ,,

hi all as some know ive been have trouble with 24v engine crank failure ,(spun bearings )
as the 12vr6 turbo seems to hold up very well , im going to use a mk3 vr6 crank in to a 24v engine along with upratted conrod bearings and arp bolts and oil pump,
first did a few mock up pics
r32 crank mk4 , shiny one
mk3 vr6( oily one)
first both cranks
http://i47.tinypic.com/19eup.jpg
note im useing the 2.8 mk3 crank as it going into a mk4 2.8/not a r32 engine :laugh:
also did a few mocks up and fitted the r32 crank in the mk3 block fits a treat shame about the pistons just standing proud
http://i50.tinypic.com/xcklc2.jpg
http://i47.tinypic.com/2644d50.jpg
next checked the mk3/4 oil oils odd thing they look idenical yet the mk4 has a deeper sump :confused:
http://i45.tinypic.com/2v1xnau.jpg
also made a start on the short runner if this dosent flow nothing will
going for 2inch intake pipes x6 and 114.3mm tube lol
http://i50.tinypic.com/2gtxcat.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/2i1m7no.jpg

as most know ive rebuilt the other 24v engine and it was ready to fit , and evern thow they look nice and fill a space i decided fit the early 12v mk3 vr6 which u all might have seen eariler in the pic , since then skimed some pistons down to drop compression (save useing a head spacer )
http://i42.tinypic.com/2ajug61.jpg
then re fitted all new valves and guides
http://i42.tinypic.com/jptxr6.jpg
added the mk4 r32 crank for a stocker engine
fitted new chains and tensionors to be safe
and hd crank bearings and new oil pump/filter
arp conrod bolts
steel 14lb single flywheel and cermic 6 paddle clutch
re built the gearbox
and blasterd sprayed engine
used a few pars from the mk4 r32 engine thermostat houseing/injectors/fan belt tensionor

just hunting for another turbo unit and il then make another tig welded twin scroll manifold and a alloy short runner intake , then hopefully get it runing :thumbs_up

thought id knock a short runner up to find ive not enoegh room at the front
http://i40.tinypic.com/16itg6w.jpg
so that was thown in the scrap
next only thing i caould do is modify the stock intake manifold but keep the runner lengths the same
http://i40.tinypic.com/68woxf.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/20r9t9w.jpg
ill just finish the welding 2moz and do of wireing unit turbo arrives
well a bit for you lol
managed to weld rest of the intake and modify the rocker cover too

http://i41.tinypic.com/vrehw8.jpg

http://i42.tinypic.com/14uez53.jpg

modifyed the breather and has a better idea with wire gauze and oil splash plate , which should help in boost , what a pain to alloy as the alloy contains very small fragments of hot oil and i assume over the years its contamiated the alloy , but got there in the end

http://i42.tinypic.com/1z9mdu.jpg

fits a treat nice and air tight [:P]

http://i40.tinypic.com/ak7oya.jpg

http://i41.tinypic.com/2zg6gkz.jpg

also saved a good 5inch , so means i dont really have to change the sump , but i think ill make a shorter one

just a idea long as it works chuff the high boost lol
hi guys well had a bit of free time so thought id make a new coil pack mount
removed the old sensor and filled the old hole up with alloy
http://i41.tinypic.com/j95v0o.jpg
lump of 3mm alloy then driled a few holes
http://i39.tinypic.com/2jba5jt.jpg
then added a 5mm lump of rubber and bolted the coilpack up to the back plate
http://i44.tinypic.com/16atog0.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/jjy7gp.jpg
noticed i left a gape between the timing chain cover and the back plate , save engine heat on the coil pack and added the rubber to keep it cooler ,
injectors re wired, and all engine loom wires alterd , tempord to try a start up 2moz ,,be a tad noisey but should fire up

first off thought id check the intercooler pipe fits a dam treat with clearance too , think ill tig a dump valve in there, also heated the plastic vacum pipes for the brake servo and re solderd all the wires and shorternd them,

next as i have a bit more room i pulled the exhust side in around 2inch ,(saves a rattle

http://i39.tinypic.com/zo6e0i.jpg

http://i44.tinypic.com/akbm69.jpg

then new turbo arrived so thought might as well make a manifold , first tempory fit ,

you,ll notice its on a angle reason is ive no room to run a dam boost pipe , ive an idea thow lol

few start pics of the turbo and manifold progress

http://i42.tinypic.com/k0v9i.jpg

not too mutch but had a slight engine prob ( nothing bad ,just a stuck hydrolic tappit ) now runing on 6 pots , dosent sound too bad tbh , also added oil t piece and reducer, and made oil return 19mm bore , modifyed ht leads to suilt, redone manifold had a small blowing, had to alter external wastegate still in the way but ill mod the air intake, next is modify some boost pipes , sensors, intercooler,hoses,, ive also dropped on a pair of poly bushes which ill make some new mounts from too few pics here
