The Meatwagon: Missing, presumed..?

[cwspellowe]

Was working til 4pm today, first thing I did when I got in? Yep, removed the Bosch from the 306 and set about stripping it.

Pretty much standard XUD Bosch stripping, no different from the 11mm guide on here, so not much to see with that. I did however notice something rather intriguing.

After reading up on losing IPP after a series of hard pulls, turns out the fuel lines can be quite restrictive, most notably around the feed banjo. So the banjo needs opened up a bit. Or maybe there's a better alternative..?

Below we have a 306 fuel feed banjo on the right, and one from the currently sort of secret donor pump on the left. Notice the difference?



That's right. The 306 one has much bigger holes in it, so is obviously better for flow. This is going nowhere..



Oh, hang on, that donor pump banjo has four holes in it?! Just think.. twice as many holes, and someone careless like me could take a dremel to them to widen them up to a similar size, and then flow could be up to DOUBLED over the standard 306 banjo /dumdummaths



MUCH better. flow flow flow. Throw some bigger bore fuel lines and it's starting to look a lot more fuel happy.

Er, what else... oh yeah. I set about replacing every seal I could reasonably get to and managed to use the majority of the seal kit. Throttle shaft, timing solenoid, blanking plate on opposite side (turns out the bit that was leaking..), pump head, DV copper washers, all sorts. Some of the ones that came out were brittle as fook!



Wee moderate gov (I dont rev to 6k.. out of choice) and new seal for top half of pump



And all back together, ready for an early morning fitting. One 10mm hybrid VE pump, soon to be combined with the GT2056. Should be interesting...
