That's cool ill just put I slightly higher than my aiming for then I'm safe


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 23-02-2015

So pulled the glowplugs out today among other things and they are all burnt out. Better pull the head off now to check. Best\cheapest place to get a headset.

his bit trike he made,

Don't be f*cking daft. The truck has LSD and can be run in RWD only rather than 4WD and f*ck me does it go sideways with a massive boot of throttle.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Poodle - 23-02-2015

Er, those aren't burnt out, they're smashed/snapped dude, i'd expect the latter tbh....


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - procta - 24-02-2015

how soon you recon you could have this running?


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 24-02-2015

22nd of April in the car all done hopefully. Bench tested within the next week or so.

Just sourcing some bars to secure it to my bench

Its cool I've sold my turbo now so I can fund head off fun next weekend. Also bought an intercooler off a sabb 9-3 aero for 20 off a mate. Just need a couple of pipes now.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Poodle - 24-02-2015

Awesome. Smile


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 25-02-2015

Gearbox off xud flywheel on. Drilling hole for sensor in a second.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 26-02-2015

Got a bargain oem genuine ex stock cambelt kit off ebay last night. £20 nice


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 26-02-2015

So spacers turned up today and they are 15mm not 10mm like stated which is annoying as I bought 10mm longer bolts. These are pictures from nimrods at the back with spacers. Also put them on car to test and they torque up fine as well.

On another note my head gasket turned up today. 5 notch mls. I'm sure 5 notch will be fine. Smile

5 notch


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Piggy - 26-02-2015

Once that thread is through the brake disc...there wont be enough left to safely run


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 26-02-2015

Fair enough. These are only on back on drums anyway. Will might be able to lathe them down. Hopefully.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 28-02-2015

So got the nimrods on. Now got a brake vibration. No idea why. Wheels are torqued up mine. Done a rear wheel bearing at same time that was an arse but that's the rear and the brake vibration is through steering wheel.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 28-02-2015

So what turbo is this people?


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Dum-Dum - 28-02-2015

Looks like a garrett turbo to me mate.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Seb_Ryan - 28-02-2015

Id be worried about where the rest of those glow plugs have gone lol


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Piggy - 28-02-2015

Thats a T2 like I said before


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 01-03-2015

Yeah I guessed it was a garret. Lol. The head is coming off this coming week to access things.

Yeah you said it would probably have a t2 on. Couldn't see any markings about what turbo very well though. Was sorta hoping for the td04 11b that came standard with some though. Nit that id use it as an upgrade but would've been a nice starting point.also got offered a t25 for £20 other day but I figure it will be massively laggy


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 01-03-2015

Just figured I could run a bigger turbo down back on the condition its £50 as that's what my new downpipe will cost. I can use my spare xud Mani to bolt on the downpipe that's already on the car. Gotta find a bargin. Lol


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 01-03-2015

Found a bargin. £3.20 for a td04 13t on ebay because it was listed wrong and pick up only. i am picking it up tomorrow night.

So I picked it up tonight. Cost me more in fuel than it did to buy. Bargain id say.

So gearbox mounting. Pipe to the turbo same size as outlet from manifold? And 2 1/2 inch from turbo back.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Danny Wideboy - 02-03-2015

That is a bargain dude.

Why do you want to gearbox it mount though? 


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Piggy - 02-03-2015

yeah get it down the back fella.
If you wana go to effort of gearbox mounting, mount a decent blower!
This will be bad enough on your 2.1 without needing to exaggerate the lag!


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 02-03-2015

See I was in two minds about that. As it WILL be changed in September for a box mounted turbo the groundwork is done already. Plus fitting it down the backs gonna be a ball ache. We will see though. I'll measure it up tomorrow and weigh up my options


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Danny Wideboy - 02-03-2015

Reckon it'll go down the back fine, wastegate may be an issue but I'm sure it can be done (or omitted completely...).

You should buy my GT20 when it is for sale in a month or two,  ThumbsUp  bolt on kit, I'm sure we can work out a good deal, you did me a favour with the bits I got from you so it won't be forgotten.  Smile


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 02-03-2015

I couldn't de wastegate it. I pikey most things but not that lol. May have to take you up on offer money dependent. May just run this for a while and see. Can see it making reasonable power to be fair.

Would ditch the wastegate if it wasn't my daily. But it is.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Danny Wideboy - 02-03-2015

You will be able to make it work somehow, probably need to weld an extender onto the wastegate lever and move it out of the way of the steering UJ.

Will let you know when it is up for grabs, you can have first dibs and a discount for the epicly cheap engine and box deal.

Tried a couple of times to get hold of the transit pump fella but he is yet to get back to me.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - bashbarnard - 02-03-2015

I'll figure something out to get it down back then. Can always jig the actuator down there somehow.

The transit pump would be awesome but I'm not in any hurry can all go in on my current 9mm for now if needs must. I've got a spare pump to build and swap further down the line.


RE: Project hopefull, 2.1 preparation - Piggy - 02-03-2015

just weld that wastegate.
with a 9mm and that 2.1 you will never see enough boost to worry

You sure on that? But won't it make it run hotter? Plus when I upgrade to an 11mm before the next turbo.

On the plus side may spool up faster.
