fairy tale

Long long time ago in a country far far away

A guy decided to buy a Callaway Turbosystems turbokit for Volkswagen A1 platform
and then he bought some more

Last year I sold my Corvette and bought the Volkswagen cabriolet


This week I started preparations to swap current 1.8 100hp powerplant for the Turbocharged version.

I will post updates untill the car is running , Iff I manage to get it running again

Today went to a turbo specialty parts shop to replace Turbo oil supply connectors and line
and a new oil return line to connect to oil pan instead original in the engine.

not available those guys have a shop with thousands of connectors and the ones I need are NOT available ?



anyhow, homework for next week.
tomorrow I am getting help to lift the old engine, stay tuned for pictures

Engine is out

my thumb got jammed and is now purple

but its out now we can start building the new engine.

J, if your VW has 100hp now, how much do you estimate once the turbo is installed?

any updates?

[Jeroenvgfn]

at this moment is has 0hp

I hate gathering parts and people lying at me,
I bought a new engine harnass to keep/save the original to power the CIS injection.
But the guy who sold a complete not abused cable harness is a dickhead whether he knew it or not about the cutted wires

[Jeroenvgfn]

After a week ill in bed and another week full of appointments finally get some time to work on the car.

have been memorizing the CIF injection study books from Bosch
I am an expert now


will post new pictures this weekend

[kingforward]

How is the progress Jeroen?

[Jeroenvgfn]

Nothing done,

But will startup the hobby in the coming days between christmas and newyear.
hope to be ready for the Lemons 24 in time

New goal is set, it must be ready before spring and Critt99 must have driven it before he moves back.
