White phase 1, now with added truck turbo and massive head gasket failure

[ozonehostile]

This car looks great, the front mount is class. If you ever have the engine out could you snap me some exhaust manifold pictures

Cheers mate, glad you like it I think there's a picture of the mani on the car further back in the thread because loads of people were asking about it. Il take a pic while the bonnet and screen are out actually since you can see down the back pretty well
Il give you a word to look forward to though, 4 inch pipe haha

I'd love to come see this when I'm back, I'm only in Shropshire! (Shrewsbury)

Can we have a picture of the calipers on the pipe and turbo downpipe rather than the 4" tip as darren requested lol

Yeah defiantly, it's been sat in the garage for a month with no screen or bonnet so will need to get it out, only done 300 miles since the build was finished haha

It's 4 inch from the downpipe all the way under the car then into a 4.25 inch tip squeezed over the end, but yes, I will get pics with the vernier for all you non believers out there haha

and sort your sig out takes half the page up!! ta

il just get rid of it, easier lol, usually on my phone so picture sizes are all messed up anyway so didnt notice how big it was haha

[CJ_Derv]

haha where did you get the manifold made up pal? im thinking of gearbox mount with next turb iv in mind

[ozonehostile]

its hard to explain lol, basicly a 406 manifold with extra pipes welded on to make a 4 into 1 pipe going into the turbo. il try get a picture as its easier than trying to explain

[CJ_Derv]

Ahh i see il have to go look at a 406 manifold and see where to go from there as my mates a fabricator but i need to design it and he can do it then
you need to get this on dyno asap its all well and good with mods but we need to see figuires

[ozonehostile]

yeah gearbox mounting is such a massive improvement, opens up a whole new world of turbo options, so even if the pics dont work out il try do a technical drawing of my setup and make a pdf or something.
its got a date with the rolling road on 26th of jan with the midlands meet running the current 9mm fuel pump, then another on 2nd feb which il hopefully be running the 11mm pump ive been building

[Seid']

dont forget the video :b

[ozonehostile]

Quick trip over to Swindon today and I finally have a new bonnet. Single skin fibreglass, can't weigh more than a kilogram

---

i also attempted to take some better pictures of the downpipe, this one is the join on the turbo:

---

And this is the route down the bulkhead and under the car


Couldnt find any calipers to show the size, but hopefully the pic shows how much of a monster the pipe is

[ozonehostile]

Good news! I found the hd video camera!
Still havnt got the new glass in though....

[Face.]

Great car, good to see some members close to me.

Most forums I join people are miles away.

Hurry and get a video of the beast up!

[karl1989]

looking nice. i was thinking to gearbox mound my turbo but dont know who can make me the bits to do it

where you based mate?

theres a couple of us in the herefordshire/worcestershire area

Since there's been so much interest in my downpipe/manifold setup i was considering getting a proper technical drawing made up and put in a pdf so that people can download it and get their local fabricator to make it. i could probably make a nice bit of business doing it myself but there's no way Id have the time :/

[karl1989]

how much are they to do roughly if you dont mind me asking?

[ozonehostile]

free if you happen to have a welder and a load of truck parts knocking about haha
but if you were to get the downpipe made, its quite labour intensive getting the right angles so id guesss about £200-£300 depending on the fabricator and what material you want (stainless steel would be best but is expensive and a bastard to weld, so ££££)
when i have some money I was thinking of getting my current set up re-built all in stainless

[Birk]

I could make a manifold, but would be talking a good few hundred or 2

[ozonehostile]

i wouldnt even like to think about how much my manifold would cost to reproduce, pipewelding nightmare. downpipes aren't too much of an issue though

[karl1989]

i know a cheap welder just need to get materials and route

[ozonehostile]

i might just have to get this drawing made then, as for materials i doubt people would be needing a downpipe as big as mine so the truck exhaust probably wont be necessary, sections of normal car exhaust would do the job if you want to do it on the cheap, just make sure to get the sections heat wrapped as without it the engine bay temperatures shoot up very quickly if your booting it

In the HR5 area.

[ozonehostile]

HR5 is kington area right? don't often go up that way, im south herefordshire

[bradh511]

yes you are right there buddy hr5 is kington im also in kington ive got a white phase 2 3 dr dturbo doubt you will have seen it about

awesome, glad theres some 306oc members in the same county, especially another white car (pretty jealous of you actually, i was after a white 3 door for ages, never found a decent one so settled for a phase 1 5 door) your right that i havnt seen it around before, ive never seen any modified 306s in herefordshire really apart from a black gti6 that i occasionly see on my way to work, but apart from that nothing

[bradh511]

... i brought it from a friend in the forest for 500 it just had a new rear axle fitted but there loads of niggley job's to do like the drivers door handle snapped ad need to fix the leck window as there's a plastic clip snapped so leans forward and the door wiring needs fixing .. when i got it on the 2 of November it needs brake pads and at some point it was advise on mot the anti roll bar link needs doing that it i do have a single wiper motor im going to sell soon if you know of anyone in Hereford area.. going to put new disks and pads on this weekend so may be about over Xmas in it had a slight problem with my ignition barrel so had to remove it till i go down pt mores .. i know someone breaking a hdi in the forest if you need any bits off of one btw

---

oh btw i know a place in hereford that might make a stainless manifold for you ajp pipe work... might be able to help you out

[ozonehostile]

il check them out, wont be having anything made for a while yet though, just something I want done in the future

[bradh511]

Cool when you get yours back on the road we will have to go for a little meet up .. do u know anyone selling a a decent Bosch pump in Hereford are or might be a scrappy job so i can get mine converted it ...hi on the to do list

[ozonehostile]

not at the moment sorry, give wye valley metals a call, i scrapped a 405 d turbo a few months ago that had a bosch pump, its likely theyl have it still as they break pretty much every car that goes in
