Joey the VNT boosted 205!

[Tom]

Lots of movement with this coming up soon! hooray Just a little teaser...

[Grant]

Are you running a billet one at the moment then?

[Tom]

I got a standard rubber one in the bottom and apparently a solid fork bush. So this should tighten it up nicely

[Grant]

It will be horrific with the solid fork bush.

I had billet in both, on my XSI and i hated it. The mrs loved it however

Both is too much IMO. I could only make an un-educated guess as to what it would be like on a derv. But at a stab, worse than a perf?

[Tom]

Probably worse then! Im even more excited now aha!

[Tom]

Back to losing water at a much more reasonable rate!

[Tom]

A rad looks exactly how you imagine but I took pictures of the nifty slimline fitting kit :p

[Jimbo]

U never used those fitting kits? There awesome

[Tom]

Yeah used one once before but they're awesome!

[silverzx]

Usually use cable ties myself.. For everything..

[Tom]

I do keep a pack in the car just in case

[Curt]

I think that exhaust looks good

[Tom]

Sounds good to thanks bud x

This weird little thing broke of yesterday whilst changing the rad. Apparently its some kind of earth point. Commonly break on the 205's so I just cut it off and put ring terminals on there and covered them in grease, all sorted now.

[Tom]

Right did something stupid today... and i washed the car.



Wait for it...






Yep inside the car. Dont worry its only temporary til i get a longer length of fuel hose. But i got impatient.

Also have a transit pump on the way for making awesomeness.

[Chris_90]

Epic! wonder if it will make much difference with veg oil going though the car not under it.

[Tom]

You can see why the car doesnt like it, i have been driving for about 45minutes before i put that pipe in and i fired it up and the pipe went proper cold with the fuel going through it :/

[Paul_13]

Notice a difference with the fuel banjo ;P

I found it made a massive difference on mine

[Tom]

I'm going for a drive this evening, hoping for some 3rd gear wheelspin aha

[strictly_perv]

What have you done along the lines with the primer and the fuel filter? As they are still at stock diameter.

[Tom]

I dont have a primer nor a fuel filter... Im just having some fun atm. Like i said i got impatient and just stuck it on! I have a primer on the way, but fuel filter im a but stuck with, trying to find a landy fuel filter housing (for a reasonable price) that i can mount either in the bay or under the car with a big spin on filter.

[strictly_perv]

Ah fair one. Be careful running it de filtered! The cars 22 years old and that tank isn't going to be clean!

[Tom]

Im running mostly unused or 1micron filtered veg atm so not overly worried about it, i had a check over the strainer aswell before i done it and that was clean as a whistle and alot finer than the one in a 306!



And i guess if the pump does die i'll have to repair it from bits of this transit one i have here...

[Paul_13]

Why don't you go for the filteriI've got?

[Tom]

Why don't you go for the filteriI've got?

Because i read the small print and it says its 120micron and IMO its not worth having. Most oem filters are around 5 micron. Like i said above i filter my veg down to 1 micron cold, so 120 is about enough to catch chips with lol!

[Chris_90]

Just get a TT filter on it? Only like £5 if that saves killing pump?

[Tom]

Already got a TT filter. Not big enough.


Wake up Chris





Also forgot to add, i just got home from the test drive. And its pretty awesome i must admit. I have been driving with a blocked fuel filter for weeks so all this power feels so new to me lol. Its like i've awoken some kind of beast.

[Chris_90]

I must have missed that bit whys it not big enough? Suppose at 1 micron doubt you will run in to, to much trouble any way.

[Tom]

The in/out pipes on the filter aren't 10mm :p

[Chris_90]

The in/out pipes on the filter aren't 10mm :p

Oooooo I see

[silverzx]

If you do find a large filter, be sure to order me one / share the love.
