That fuel pipe would be more effective wrapped around the rad pipe a couple times, and it would also take some of the length out of it

Yer I did that first time round but it kinked the pipe so took it off. Hopefully it's only temporary till I fix the standard housing anyway

[Poodle]

Twist the pipe in your fingers as you go, will stop it from folding/kinking.

The stock filter housing is a load of shit, i'd keep it like that myself.

[Piggy]

correct me if I am wrong though but the rad pipes will only get hot enough to transfer some heat to the fuel lines when the engine is so hot that the stat opens...which isnt very often on these.
the OEM housing starts heating as soon as engine makes heat

tbh im thinking of keeping it as it is but its if i run in to issues when its colder

I have no idea piggy tbh but im not fussed tbh im running filtered waste oil and im surprised how thin it is and now ive sorted the air ingress issue its been bang on slight lumpy idle with 100% veg oil but soon as i drive it about a mile it sorts its self out so its all good, if needs be dont mind dropping a bit of derv in when its winter just to help it out abit but till it gets colder will have to see.

Fitted temp gauge




Not sure if its reading right tho as a couple of times last night it hit 120 in traffic (then fan kicked in) sits at 85/90 tho when driving not sure what the crack is with it tho.....

Comments welcome

[Poodle]

I can't work out where that is you've mounted it too..?

[Piggy]

little dash panel to the right of steering wheel but before centre blowers!
my mrs has a dash dim control there.

120seems very high to be honest. shouldnt get that hot...my mrs 106nad never gets hot enough for the fans to kick in in traffic!

Thing is i dont no if the gauge is reading right or not, but i no i need a new radiator soon as mine is leaking ever so slightly so will get one soon and fit a new thermostat at same time so sure that will help it out.

Costing me a fortune this thing got a right list of things it needs

Glow plugs
Radiator
Thermostat
Front and rear brake pads
Rear axle
Rear shocks
washer jet pipe ( as arch guard deiced to fall out and pipe rubbed on tyre )
Track rod ends/tracking

Thats all i can think of at min but im sure theres more, and its gotta be sorted before mot (december 2nd) gonna be skint thats for sure. Some times think is it worth while spending this much on it

[Chris_90]

Been at dyno day to day video here from first run was 59hp and 90'ish ftlbs torque will get exact figures another day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfTD6hxP...ata_player

Turned Fuel down and second run pulled 61.5hp and 70ish ftlbs torque

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxEE4aVr...ata_player

These figures arnt exact as no rev gauge

[adamm306]

[Piggy]

[Chris_90]

smokeyyy

wow thats smokey!! needs a turbo!!

Ha ha was turned down for the second run might turn it back up tho as loving the smoke

Defo does need a turbo maybe one day i will do it

[Piggy]

needs more air for all that fuel!

[Chris_90]

needs more air for all that fuel!

It's a he'll of a lot cleaner on Veg Oil....., any way defo more air like a turbo

[Chris_90]

Bit of an update picked another axle, decide that I would have a bash at refurbishing it my self. Any pay pics







So all stripped down ready for New bearings and some paint pretty chuffed with my self as never managed to take an axle to bits before, but using my dad's strong arm thing made it pretty easy

Comments welcome

[Dean]

Looks epic, but needs a blower.

[clarkey2010]

turbo it

[Piggy]

that strong arm jack thing looks amazing

[Chris_90]

turbo it

Maybe one day or maybe I won't not sure tbh just loving the reliability of it and if I strap a turbo to it I can grantee something will brake in a daily basis lol

that strong arm jack thing looks amazing

It is handy but would recommend the next one up 20ton Jack as the 4 ton is good but could have done with that extra pressure when splitting the axle

[Danny2009]

Pfft that's cheating get the sledge out!

Good work mate

[Chris_90]

Pfft that's cheating get the sledge out!

Good work mate

Ha Ha If cheating makes it easier im happy to cheat.... LOTS I haven't got a sledge hammer either only a lump hammer so having the strong arm thing helped alot looking at buying my own now lol

[Danny2009]

Yea I think I may invest in one

[Chris_90]

Defo come in handy it's a body work tool apparently.

In other news bearing kits turn up today, gonna see if I can get some new offset washers and screws then I can start rebuilding it

[Jenkosowls]

Used for rejigging chasis

[Chris_90]

Bit of an update, Ground all the rust of the axle tube and painted it up (no pics yet tho) and fitted the bearings to the trailing arms





Now just waiting for peugeot to get me some new offset washers and screws for the end of bars, then im saving for new shocks then it will be ready to put on

[Chris_90]

Had some nice things bought to me today


B4's





New wheels won't be going on till next summer all though might sort Tyres so I got a decent set for mot.

Back axle was built then I f**k the threads up in the end of torsion bar so had to get a mate to take it to his work and fix it for me, all is good now can rebuild it back up hopefully be sorted tomorrow
