Where did you get your aux belt from? How much?
How come you hasn't removed the aircon pump?

Belt was from ebay and was just shy of £15 posted

I've not finished removing the AC pump as I cant get at the bolts underneath with it sitting on the trolley. This is also the reason I haven't fitted the clutch.

More power than the petrol and ill be happy, over 160 and ill be really happy but the real aim is 170-180 as that would mean that the turbo has been of benefit.
I think I've only seen one HDi cabby before and that was just a standard 90 lump.
Really need to pull my finger out my arse and fit the suspension and brakes now I've got some power to really abuse them with. Oh and definitely the strut brace so it doesn't feel like the windscreen is going to crack every time I hit a bump.

Ahhh cool so what stage is it for 180+hp?
RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Dum-Dum - 07-06-2013
Stage 2 plus turbo.
TBH I'm entirely confident that this turbo is going to fail. Its half the fun though, its only cost me £50 (and a standard turbo)
RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - sam - 07-06-2013
Ahhhhh, its all in the fun though haha might aswell try something new tbh
RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Niall - 07-06-2013
So......
Step 1. Replace engine at weekend (of course with several bodges along the line including that hash of a turbo)
step 2. Drive for a week or two
step 3. Be stuck at the side of the road with some sort of catastrophic engine/car failure
step 4. Decide its being scrapped because its too broken and your bored of it.
step 5. Repeat
You may also substitute step 3 for reversing into something stationary.

If it works it'll be epic, the GT1549 (48) should be good for about 10% more flow minimum so if it lets me keep the boost higher in the rev range and gives less restriction then I should make real good power. Obviously thats not gonna happen though.

Meh, I was serious about my new years resolution to own less cars this year and so far its not going well.
I'm not gonna lie this will be swapped for an estate at some point. Probably in the winter.
I've decided once this is running its not getting any real money spent on it so I can save up for an MK Indy R so I can go all Ed Doe and bore people about my push rod suspension and un friend people from Facebook because I cant take their banter.
RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Niall - 07-06-2013
Dont go all Ed Doe on us! One is bad enough!!
RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Dum-Dum - 08-06-2013

I'm guessing a Citroen C4 going by the writing on the caliper.
RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Niall - 10-06-2013
Oh yeah didn't see that lol. Bet them discs weigh a f*cking ton though! Would do disasterous things to my unsprung weight

Are you recording the first run/startup by any chance?
RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Ruan - 10-06-2013
The question is, does it actually run?

(10-06-2013, 11:31 AM)Niall Wrote: How much were the 302s Chris? What car are the off of?£150 with the used pads and discs off a member here. One of the faster C4s.

RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Matt - 13-06-2013

RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Dum-Dum - 13-06-2013
I'm gonna try and do it today but I'm knackered.
RE: Dum-Dums Pre-Op 306 XSi -> HDi Roadster - Hybrid turbo in progress!!! :D - Dum-Dum - 13-06-2013
IT RUNS!!!!!
And it boosts too!
Well the first start wasn't great, it caught, ran for a second and died.
Turns out the lift pump aint getting its main live. Anyway got a battery and a spare bit of wiring and bodged the lift pump which made it run but then one of the lines that Jonny made pissed fuel. Made a new fuel line and it starts and it runs and i can even make a little boost on idle
I'm currently contemplating weather to bodge an ignition live to the lift pump or to actually find the issue. Kinda leaning towards the bodge.
