Recent little lovely job on a pretty much standard fabia, not many of them left now.

Recovered in because of suspected turbo failure of the Borg Warner unit it was time for some upgrades rather then just replace like for like

Yeah - turbo was clapped and filled intercooler full of oil sooo luckily we had everything for a proper plan

Supply and fit Fmic setup
Genuine cambelt and waterpump kit
Jw1752
Service
New gaskets all around
Pd150 headbolts

Had what felt like a valeo smf kit already fitted so just did a mini send

1.9 bar 40 degrees-41 so enough for 210bhp which is quite a big jump from
Standard

Quite a realistic and budget friendly build for. Abit of power and more reliability

Don’t see too many polo pd130s then two in a week

Must be a sign to acquire one? 😉

Anyway customer booked in for fitting wzm injectors and mapping

Did the usual fitted with new seals and bolts and set the lash followed by spending quite a good time setting up electrical side of injectors and fuelling before starting then boom, misfire on idle

Turns out one of the solenoids is dead after all that! 😢 they looked brand new wzm’s too but on idle it was terrible and shaking like anything

Had to make do with what we had

Gtb2260
Stock cam
Wzm injectors
Our 6 puk paddle

To be fair on wide open throttle goes really well but still needs the actual issue sorting

Customer ordered another set and we go again when they arrive 💪

Mk4 goals 🕺

Proper lovely mk4 estate in for a map revision

We saw this last a few months ago and had suspected injector issue!

How so? Serious lack of power after 3000 rpm so decided to run 50 degrees and was 0 smoke or power so suggested the usual… fuel filter and replacement units

Due to being old now customer went for Firad 50s for this setup but wanted as little smoke as possible

The setup was

Pd130
Xman gt1756
Our 6 puk paddle
S tune intake and a Fmic

Looks and drives lovely and apart from a little haze low down I smashed it 💪

I do say it a lot but I do enjoy these smaller power builds sometimes more than bigger ones

Customer trusted me with his 120k completely standard fabia (not even mapped!) for some cool go faster parts and supporting mods.

Naturally, I obliged

Went for our 1752 package
Fmic supplied and fitted
Pd150 headbolts
Serviced with genuine parts
Genuine cambelt and waterpump kit

Gone from a stock rated power of 130bhp to 210bhp with butt dyno and data

Nice little job with big smiles all around 👌

When a customer listens to recommendations and what to grab it makes life so much easier 😮‍💨

Sdi caddy on fairly low miles, roughly 120k in for a new heart!

Not too often you see this but the sdi has blown a hole straight in the block. They have previously bought a pd130 engine but didn’t realise how much had to be sourced.

IMO the bkd is much better in the caddy anyway so after a decent chat they went out and bought a full donor, with most things needed it makes everything easier.

Developed a little list of parts needed as when going bkd in a caddy most people like we used to do an electric power steering conversion which can give issues later down the line but with a select few OE vag parts we are able to retain hydraulic steering which means even less work 🕺

All done in a few days ready for customer to drive it home with original bkd emission parts retrofitted to the caddy such as cat and egr

Fair bit of remote tuning over the last few weeks and this was one of them.

Pd130 converted caddy with 1756

Not chasing massive number as van still needed a few more bits

Just slightly hitting 43 degrees and 14-15 Eoi it’s about as safe as you can get a 1756 with just over 2 bar too.

Not too Smokey and goes well for something the shape of a brick 🤣

Been a minute 🥺

Keeping busy in the workshop and mapping whilst juggling life can get a bit hectic

Anyways, one of the cool little jobs from last week

Smart little bora in for some good bits!

Customer had already fitted an 1856 gen 3 and higher flowing inlet manifold but wasn’t confident fitting the cam and injectors sooo easy work for us

Veicomer 272 cam kit
Firad 120s and new seals

Nice little morning job followed by mapping and then met the customer for convenience to drop it off 💪 all done in a day

Estimated around 270 or so bhp and yes you can do that stock hurrr durrrr bur this is a lot safer long term and every thing ready for bigger turdo ! 💩

Goes really well and reduces the lag on the 18 quite a lot!

Sorry for lack of updates on the socials too the workshop hasn’t really stopped for the last few months

Done some cool cars and stuff though

Really enjoy working on CR stuff

Bad cold start and I suspected injector fault

Removed and tested all 4 and two failed so replaced with genuine Bosch

Genuine cambelt and waterpump with new oil pump belt and front crank seal

DPF track pipe fitted and egr solution

So loud 😂

When you get a help me message early in the morning 😂

1752 fitted to this car around 5-6 years ago when we was back over in Loughborough, made the standard 210bhp for many many miles and never had an issues.

Got sent a picture a couple of weeks ago with oil up the inner bonnet and car cut out so naturally we both assumed the constant 140mph pulls killed the turbo!

Stripped turbo off and apart from passing a little bit of oil it was still solid and had very minimal play. Rebuilt everything cleaned the sump and pipes out etc and went to to turn over by hand the engine incase oil was in the bores and the bottom end wouldn’t move.

Pulled the belt and it was missing a good third of the teeth 😂

Customer had no choice but to fit a belt kit, Prime the turbo and see if it ran ok by that point and it started straight up 🤞

Turns out the oil was just a very long boost leak from the coupler so got rid of that now 🙈

1856 supplied fitted and mapped followed by a genuine cambelt and waterpump kit and it’s back home

Have the valves hit? 100%!

It runs and that’s all the owner wanted for now and least he can sell his old 52!
