Yes Henri uses the original cooling system with an electricpump.I don't know what the reason is for going with an electric pump but I think it is for the hp loss that the belt would cause.

Cracking idea, cant believe i never thought of it!!! Its the way to go with mine me thinks!! I know hp gains would be negligable, but every bit helps!! weight savin thread is a good one too, they just dont do one for me!!(19st ;-(..)

So time for an update bitburg didnt went so good for us the thurstday before at 20:15 almost dark i made a testrun drove it of the truck and warmed it up and hit the trottle the turbo spooled up real nice but in a high rpm range due the small 1.9 engine the boost and rpm was not under control i could not read the rpm and boost gauge i was trying to hold the bug on the road it went wel i was thinking bitburg here we come
i worked friday to get the car preped for the weekend .
at bitburg first run no turbo pressure had no power maybe it was the boost control or rpm limiter .
at the second run after checking it blowed a waterplug out of the rear .
we worked to get the shit plug watertight it was sitting there for 4 jears and never leaked
the thirth run stil no boost and power michael had no more than 3 gears an it woudln shift anymore
there was a loose nut at the shifter we maneged to fixed it
fourth run i noticed the was a lot of smoke coming out the engine still no power
back in the pit there was a cracked intake gasked so i thouged that wher the boost is going
we fixed the gasked .
fifth run the was a lot of smoke and no power michael called me from the end of the track and told me the oil catch tank was flooding then i knew the race was over .
we drove the car back on the truck .
but we had a great weekend together with the otto bros and there familly my dad brother racecees tiki madness cnc wizzard delrue micha 64 dirk the four play bad bitch team ome sande and crew and all the other i forgot to write down.


after a week in the garage i pulled the 1\2 head after a cr check there was no cr at at #1cilinder
i had loades of under pressure  .
ill found that piston #1 was cracked between the the cr rings after thinking it over it happend at the test run
but the engine sounded verry nice untill the catch tank was full with oil .
i mounted a other piston an bolted it back together
i went for a test run at saturday and it pulled like crazy on the road wheelspin til third gear everytime exces the 0.5 pressure i drove til 1.0 bar pressure and the car realy kicks ass  but in bitburg it was driving like shit

wat i do know is that the tiki turbo set up worked wel and that my engine and transmission is in good shape the car handels good at 180 kmh so the turbo is going on the tiki and my 1.9 gets his supercharger for 2010 season
so with a little work the car should perform better next year .

we had a great weekend in bitburg thanks to everyone .

GR Henri.

Ouch, that was a bad case of detonation if you broke two ring lands at once  Shocked
What max boost did you reach too cause this?
