Daves Compound Twin turbo XUD

[Dave]

Bout time I updated this abit.... since being back from uni i've done some work on the car...





Fitted new turbo... :mrgreen:

Unfortunately this happened shortly after, and totally dropped my sump;



As I was running 9mm for ages, this thing needed FAR more fuel to maximise its potential... or many hours of modifying the 9mm...

and was up at james's with ruan at weekend, and fitted an 11mm pump again... this made it perform abit better....



When I got back I had time to tweak boost and fuel abit more, this made it perform pretty well..

But just the pressure on the head this happened shortly after, I wasnt able to get a proper video of it



As soon as its on chat it just sprews water out the header tank.... so heads coming off today...

Will try get some better photos up of it, when its running how I want it...

There are several teething issues, exhaust downpipe fouls gear linkages so pops it out of 2nd, 4th and reverse when dropping clutch.... the intake pipe isnt ideal, and neither is the boost control but these shall be sorted and hopefully not turn into one of those temporary permanent solutions that I seem to do.... also obviously HG needs changing... I was tempted to do a major service and just swap blocks but I cba and need to get back to uni at the moment, that requires alot more work really...

anyway must get on, dave
