darrenjlobb's Project M-TDI Twin Turbo Supercharged Derv Bus

[Chris]

Couldn't you use the crank from the 1.6 xu 205 gti lump to make a shorter stroke? Dunno if it was the same bore size or not though.
Although it's mean new rods etc.

[darrenjlobb]

Expense would be chronic as all the stronger bits I already have wont fit...

And Ripp, the TUD is the most fail derv motor in the world lol!

[Rippthrough]

I dunno, you could probably put a piston into orbit, that's gotta be some sort of achievement.

Ive just spent nearly an hour and a half reading through the whole thread / watching the vids, and i must say this is gonna be chronic amounts of EPIC WIN when its finished, top work mate! Keep it up, and keep the vids coming, quality stuff, and so informative for a derv n00b like me!

...when its finished....

Not entirely sure darren understands that concept...

Ok, should I maybe say "when it's RUNNING"?

[darrenjlobb]

The fans before mounted, much as the last ones only these acaully blow some air, last one were suck only running in reverse, which was just total air flow fail!



Also got oil cooler plate mounted / new gauge senders into plate and all mounted up:

Cracking progress mate, loving the train gauge! Once "finished" make sure you get a vid of those when on full chat.

nice to see these niggly bits coming together!

Also, i know you're not a sticker guy, but found this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/got-chronic-V ... 2a17cdc9e8 - must be done??

[mark_airey]

I think that might have a different meaning Ginge might create unwanted police attention

[ginge191]

but then explaining excess "clocks" to police men could prove interesting

^^^^referring to a story a while back if you didn't read.

Well due to a fairly epic cock up on my behalf with photobucket, I figured I had better update this anyways, havent been posting much recently as been busy trying to sort this out as still lots to do and think only 6 weeks left till my "deadline", but seen as though the photos got uploaded publicly by accident anyways, I might as well write about it to!

Still got some cambelt issues, but waiting on a pulley which should resolve that, fingers crossed, but has meant very little progress on engine side of things as unable to run it now until ive got the pulley back...

So have used the last week or so focusing on blower mounting, which has frankly been a total ballache, but starting to get there now.

Got my manifold back from tigg'ing last week, which meant my most loved job....not....heat wrapping! Everytime this stupid stuff piss's me off / gets all itchy and horrible, but had to be done, so set about doing it in a couple evenings to get it out the way:













Was really fidly / tight, but got there in the end, its no pro job, but its good enough for me

Then set about bolting up the blowers / bypass, and heatwrapping that also:






Then got it mounted in the car, and sorted out the oil feeds / returns, still waiting on some fittings for the return on the VNT as dont have anything suitable, but got the big'un plumbed in.

Also got the supercharger re mounted on the new mounting face, which *fingers crossed* will be the final location, but cant test as cant run it up yet with no belt setup etc, but should be with me soon




Thanks for reading,

[Poodle]
