Just sorted the oil feed and return pipes.
I've figured what to do with the actuator, use a gt15 actuator but relocated and mounted the same way I did my td04

Held on by one bolt but I've had a good pull at it and it's not budging. Bolts loctited in and the end of the bracket is kind of wedged against the oil feed bolt

Just looking at the standard turbo earlier and how bloody restrictive it is! It's a tiny unit as well, gt20 should make a fair difference

Well that's the 406 pipe, which will definitely not fit!

Planning on using this, it's built for the larger 2.2 hdi maf sensor and has a 3" cold air intake feed off the bottom of the box

That's a 2.0 hdi maf placed in the hole, just hoping the 2.2 has the same plug

No point using this as it just tapers down any way. Going to try and run the largest air feed to the turbo possible. I know spacing is tight but I've got a route in mind and thanks toseland for the recommendation for materials Smile

There's a lot more to these hdi engines to take apart compared to a xud or a 6 lol

When i took the 1 off the engine that i sent to you i loosened the coolant pipe that runs across the back of the engine and then it came off pretty easy. It seems to hold pretty well on the seal on the pipe that goes into the housing.

Rained off for today. Very close to getting the head off.

Just got to undo the top engine mount and undo the head bolts

Looks like someone has done the HG in the past unless they left the factory like that

Only obvious sign the HG had failed

However

The egr cooler/heater was full of mayo, I wonder if this was the actual cause of the Pressurisation

[Image: IMG-20160601-WA0020_zpsuk1o6x4s.jpeg]

Everything ready to go on

Bit of a hold up, these will be going straight in the bin

[Image: IMG-20160601-WA0022_zpsdhiw9bss.jpeg]

Oil feed and return lines on

[Image: IMG-20160601-WA0033_zpskq63blec.jpeg]

Got some funny looks lifting the head out, I was standing one foot on the cross member at the front and one foot on the scuttle panel

Got a plan for the air intake

180 57mm > short piece of 57mm pipe > 57 x 70 reducer > 70 pipe > 70 90' > tee for oil breather > pipe > maf

Well done for getting the head off complete with turbo/manifold attached! How was clearance - did you have to swing the engine forward a lot?

Not really, just removed the studs off the exhaust elbow

Nearly back together, couple of issues

Air intake is proper bodged for the mean while until delivery turns up
put a 60mm flexi pipe straight off the turbo and cut down the hdi air intake metal pipe. Works for the mean while

I f*cking hate the radiator designs on 306's, luckily I had an o ring from a 28mm pushfit cap, stretched it over and luckily it sealed

Then oil appeared in the header tank

[Image: IMG-20160604-WA0009_zpshw7umeyi.jpeg]

Where I lifted the head off loads of oil dripped over the block and I think some got in the water ways. Tried getting the majority of it out

Well it drives, need to get a map sorted for it.

MAF sensor has a HUGE paddy as there's too much sir flowing through

Just loaded the map up, big thanks to hdi tuning Smile

Feels rapid

But there's a problem I'd hope that would go away when I loaded the map up, but I've f*cked something up during the HG change. I've got a horrible feeling I've buggered the flywheel why I was doing up the bottom pulley bolt.

I rev it hard and when it settles to idle it only runs on 3

Turn it off and on and it runs normal
