The Racetractor. The End.

yeah but lets be honest....we all know yours will be rubbish hehe

I dont mind who gets what turbo on before me...

I wana get this right.

What you think? Pressure sensor mpxh6400

duno mate...i personally will be sticking with what others have tried and tested and succeeded with an OEM MAP sensor!
I have my arduino picking up a MAP sensor reading from my renault map sensor.

My main concern is I think mine is only 3 bar(-1bar to +2bar)....I think I will need a 4bar....unfortunately I can't find any OEM ones...only £55+ aftermarket ones

....although looking at the specs on that sensor...shows up to 58psi....and is used by some to upgrade their OEM map sensors to 3/4bar....Maybe not a bad shout there mate!

[Piggy]

CG have done the clutch, its on the way back.
Ordered a pair of driveshafts today and gearbox seals....my spare pair arent much good

so this weekend is clutch/shafts and maybe mock up pipework for the GTB

Hope to have arduino at test stage in the car too

[akuma406]

Companion that has its diameter clutch disc?
In 406
Xud9 215-220mm
Xud11 235-240mm
I have a oem disk of 240mm,
Have an idea of how much power / torque it can endure?

[Piggy]

I'm using the XUD9 clutch and flywheel assembly...its about half the weight!!!!

the standard valeo has taken whatever power I am currently running...by the figures I rekon it must be 160/170bhp and 240/250ft lbs of torque...and it has only started to slip badly since giving it proper abuse on the hill climb. Thats after 12k miles!

[Piggy]

CG Clutch arrived!! oooohhhh yes!

Just waiting for driveshafts and this weekend is clutch time! If I manage to try and eek out an hour more or so in my busy weekend I should get the GTB fitted and running on a boost can

[mr_fish]

someones keen now! *awaits results Sunday evening*

[Danny2009]

Any pictures of the new clutch?

[Piggy]

phone still bust...awaiting a wireless charging system for it.

they done a cracking job. Looks like new. Basically they have skimmed the pressure plate surface, replaced the paddle pads and recoated it all

[mcglynn]

A wireless chanrging system? Im intrigued lol.. as in a battery dock type thing?

Also interested in pics of the clutch, hope it does the job well!

Hope not mate

[Paul Baldwin]

Any idea yet why one side wore down to the rivets and the other side was fine?

yeah my micro usb on my s3 is bust, so till I get it proper repaired I got this on order...

got a couple pics loaded......*eventually*


lotsa wiring conduit to make things tidy/OEM



paddle clutch all refurbed and shineeeeeeeee!



and my "bench test" of the arduino system.....



pleased to find a wiring fault that gave me no LCD readout

note my "engine" for the RPM sensor and boost from me "boost maker"!!
all working well, yet to test the N75 as I havnt got 12v common to use yet. Test fitted box in car...its going under dash with USB socket for easy plug ins. Hoping under the dash will help with extreme cold/heat changes and vibrations. Will have bags more room once I swap the ph3 A/C heater system out for the ph1!

All sensors are working and read by the Arduino...very very pleased about that. Now started to calibrate, although cant complete that till sensors are the car.
Plus I have a mphx600 on order to mod the MAP sensor to 4bar (-1 to +3)

I have also put in a basic map to get me started as the default wont do anything.

Next thing to do is hook up a relay in the car to provide 12v with ignition and start building the loom

CG say abuse. They openly admit they have improved on their materials due to feedback of poor quality on occasion, but due to it being one side they say it basically cant have been bedded in properly/abused

[akuma406]

ooooo working on arduino

[mcglynn]

Is that MAP sensor any good then? As it will surely read atmospheric as 1 bar and therefore only 2 bar of absolute/boost pressure?

Perhaps im way off...

the current one i have I am not 100% on if its a 2.5 or 3 bar.

So with the mpxh600 fitted internals I shouldnt have any issues. That reads to 58psi and is the component used by companies who make custom 4bar map sensors

[Dum-Dum]

cool that its working mate, can't be long to get it on the car then?

[Niall]

What make and model map are you using Piggy?

Nah AA. 4.99 when I filled up at shell

Using Arduino board, telnet for comms and a software setup by DMN. But its a blank map as it were

Hope not. See how the clutch job goes. If goes well then I'll try and get it in and on a boost can.

Currently have turbo in parts. Cleaning it all up!

Ordered today some hose, tpieces and banjos ready for water supply to the turbo.

[Piggy]

Car currently up on stands...no wheels or shafts...

Swapped clutch. Box was a bitch to come off, couldnt get the clutch arm pin off so had to remove with brute force/pull bearing apart to get it off.
Valeo has LOADS of meet on it. Just a bit shiney!!

Will be rolling again later, not running though, guna try and get GTB done while I have turbo off/loom off etc. Hope to tidy the current loom up too.

Pics/update tonight

Top one is latest....genuine pug oil stuff...amazed how thin and clear it is!

Valeo clutch there with loads of meat but just not man enough anymore.

New driveshafts and geaebox seals in.

Currently mocking up GTB

GT2056S with adapter plates will shortly be for sale!

[Dum-Dum]

Ooh exciting, just thinking about going and getting my engine bay looking like that by getting my battery relocated.

[Niall]

These boxes seem to hate anything other than genuine pug oil (total BV anyway) and its really not that expensive!

[Piggy]

Soon see the difference....well....once I have a turbo again!!

Turbo starting to be mocked up...

[attachment=17979]

Glands in place for arduino loom...

[attachment=17980]

Knackered now!!

[Dum-Dum]

When do you reckon you'll have it running?

[Piggy]

Next fri-sun I expect, popping to hydraulics place tomorrow PM near woodstock to get two small fittings to make that braided line I bought ages ago and forgot about work!

Should have exhaust mocked up tomorrow eve, thats the fiddly bit, tack here, test fit, remove and grind off weld, retack/restest etc.

Then I got some wrap to apply, water lines and a bracket for the vac/boost can and a bracket for holding the turbo weight.

Then all the arduino! Lol
