[londondan86]

20 mins well spent!!! Part 3 now please!!!

[silverzx]

Cheers for the insight into rebuilding an engine, never really had it explained in such detail to me before.

[Tom]

That was an epic watch!! We need a part 3..... keep up the good work Darren

[ginge191]

@ 6:54: "...generally making it gay..." probably the best terminology to explain something. again, top video and great information each time!

[Ed Doe]

AWESOME! You reckon you'll be ready for FCS this year in some shape or form Darren??

[Jacko]

Lack of reply from Darren.. Can only mean one thing..

PART 3 IS ON THE WAY

[darrenjlobb]

AWESOME! You reckon you'll be ready for FCS this year in some shape or form Darren??

My goal is to have it in a drivable state by FCS I hope, only on small nozzles / single turbo i expect, but hope I can bring it along!

[Midnightclub]

Tbh it'll still probably make decent power even on small nozzles and turbo

[Dan!]

You know thats not good enough, come on Darren.... :roll: :geek:

[Jacko]

twin turbo compound boosted or GTFO

Will be good to see the progress in the flesh either way though

[Megamonkey]

I love the descriptions you use ...

'generally making it gay'

'its more of ... whatever the word is, I'm not an engineer'

Haha, awesome video tho man. Looking good

[darrenjlobb]

Not much happening at the moment as im working on an XUD boat engine for someone, and busy at work, and also waiting for some bits for the motor to turn up anyway, Next job is really building the injection pump / getting that mounted up etc.

[declantg]

this is madness

[Jacko]

Haha! XUD speedboat!? That's epic!

Bring it!!

[darrenjlobb]

Hm,

Going to be working on this today, although not really anything to photograph / film as im just going to be building a pump for it.

On another note, the car has decided to start being a royal arse, ive been raping it as my daily all winter (not washed it since FCS last year) and its been 100% reliable at winter, havent popped the bonnet once.

But its all falling apart now, heater matrix has gone (ffs) and rear wheel is binding up like a sunt (ffs)

So just more jobs ive gotta get around to fixing, was hoping to pull the motor out at some point in next 2 weeks to start trial fitting the new block etc, so bit of a farse!

[samass]

such an epic thread! shame about the car arseing you about, hope it doesnt cause too much agro mate!

[Foxy-jim]

That's annoying mate. Do you not have another car you could run for a few weeks?

[Matt]

Who needs a heater matrix anyway

Nah gutted the cars bein a bitch to you. Never good when your trying to do other things

[4WayDiablo]

Ive not had a heater matrix or blowers since i got the car off ed its not that badd tbh

[Ed Doe]

I didn't realise the heater matrix had gone???!!! All I knew was that the fans stopped providing heat at all one day! Happened to be jsut before that massive cold-snap in October too, and I had to take my brothers down to Somerset in it at minus 6 or something stupid!!

[bealey]

its gunna be ace keep up the good work darren

[darrenjlobb]

Bit of a boring update I'm afraid, ran out of bits to continue building new motor, so waiting on royal fail / other people on that front, so figured id pull the stock motor back out rather than do nothing, and might help spur me on a bit!

Dropped this XUD in to keep the car rolling, and since fitting it, havent popped the bonnet more than twice to top water up, never checked the oil once...XUD reliability FTW!





How many times have I done this on THIS car now?!

Random picture of a pump housing I started some work on the other night, but was as far as it got really, although do now have half a pump built, but waiting on a tap for a fitting that I dont have as my taps are all metric ones! epic fail!
