Project "Sooty"

[Jas11n]

my ex 80 tdi reached 1.1 bar, but was the latest 1Z engine, with a different turbo

Thanks Skull, be good to see what difference there is.
What turbo was fitted the later 1Z's then?

Sorry Simon, how rude of me not to reply. Missed your post somehow
Thanks for the comments
How are you getting on with the 80??

Slowly

Spent the last few weeks just getting it running right, going to fit the electric windows next (IF it ever stops raining!!!) and also paint the door mirrors at the same time, passenger one seems to be a bit bent on the mounts though, will have a look when the door cards are off and the mirrors removed. Boot spoiler will be painted and fitted when the mirrors are painted. All the dash bulbs are now blue LED's, ala VW Passat esque, everything else is posted under the project listing (Project Noir) Still after a pair of coupe headlamps and a3 spoke steering wheel though.................

Sooty's coming on well though Jase

The latest 1Z had a couple of different parts, air mass meter, turbo, ecu, injectors and i think also the main bosch pump. It has 202nm torque, your has 182, and the CC works with it plug and play.

The turbo was smaller, dunno the specs, sorry.

Was good to see sooty in person at our mini meet today and finally meet jas and his brother, look forward to seeing what you do next, possibly even quattro-ing sooty

I'll donate a rear subframe/arms/diff from a 20v if its a help, think i've a propshaft that will be available soon as well

Good to meet you at long last Pete. Same goes for Jamil, Alex (error404) and Jamo

Hell, what was going on with the rain? unreal
Really missing being able to drive, but also not bad being chauffeured about by my bro :mischeif:

Big thanks to Sal and my bro for removing my old awful standard seats and fitting the S2 avant ones. The others were terrible to park your butt on for any length of time, especially with my back the way it is. Lumbar support is a must. Ok, they have quattro script, but couldn't say no with them being in such good condition and being heated to boot. They'll be wired up at some point.
As for the quattro part, still in the thinking stages. Watch this space.

So are you going to move onto the interior of the car now doing stuff like electric windows etc?

I said I wasn't going to, but what the hell. The project looks to be a never ending thing now

[Acidburn]

Lol yeah arn't most projects, sorry I had to rush off earlier. Wasn't fun being in the rain anyways got absolutely soaked when I came back for the avant.

Have to list up what parts your after for the interior to make a proper s2 saloon, defo needs quattro'ing if what you said was possible.

[A80Avant]

off with the footwell lights then! haha

[Jamo]

Jas you've got me checking ebay for some TDI's ready for the quattro conversion!

Nice to see you again and that's one hell of a scar!

More flippin lights to buy

Let me fully look into this first. I'll know a lot more by Monday afternoon.

Forgot this.
Mentioned earlier by Skull and Ben and Paul way back at the beginning of the thread, the ECU certainly did change.
I have a later 1Z ECU that I got off Sal.
Normally, at least from what I know of ECU's, you have the boost/vac line that runs from the inlet manifold to the ECU for it's internal MAP sensor.
Now, looking at this later ECU, it does indeed have a small nipple for a boost/vac line to be fitted when in use.

Not Sooty's ECU though. No boost/vac line going to the ECU at all, and no nipple on the ECU.
That no problem for the boost gauge, I'll route the boost/vac line through the bulk head a tap into a nice conveniently blanked off nipple on the inlet manifold.

But I can't understand why the ECU fitted in pre 1994 1Z's hasn't got any line attached to it. How does the ECU determine boost then? If it's electronically, where and what type is the sensor in the engine bay?
Or doesn't the ECU need any feedback from the turbo? does it just boost until the internal wastegate opens? and that's it?
Head scratcher for sure, for me anyway.

Jase..

[Jamo]

Pre 1994 I would imagine that it's all mechanical boost as the turbo is so small and it purely relies on the actuator to control boost.

[Skull]

i didnt had any pipe connected to the ecu. i connected the boost gauge on the pipe before the IM, it has a nipple with a tap on. (used for diagnostic).

Cheers Jamo. Makes sense does that

Yup,
