White phase 1, now with added truck turbo and massive head gasket failure

[ozonehostile]

Hello all, thought it was about time to start a project thread on my latest purchase, a white phase 1 306 5 door with a fecking massive truck turbo

here goes.........

---

a nice engine bay shot

to start of the project, i thought i would start with some basic tidying bits up, bits like:
finding a white colour coded gti6 rear bumper not to keen on the current item as it has a nasty crack and scrape on the bottom lip

You ain't seen Darren's twin turbo & supercharger setup yet!!!

Welcome to the forum buddy, looks like you've done a fair bit of work to the car! Get a project thread up I'd be well interested in what you're done so far!

[ozonehostile]

fix the grill as it cracked around the badge

[the milkman]

truck turbo you say? got a part number or code for it pal? welcome btw

[ozonehostile]

at some point i need to take off a few trim bits like the mirror covers and get them resprayed at work as the current paint finish isnt the best :/

[the milkman]

is do see on your engine pick though its been gearbox mounted and it is indeed a big fecker!

[darrenjlobb]

Nice work!

What blower is it?

Looks like a tidy clean install, +1 diesel boost FTFW

[ozonehostile]

but as for turbo spec, i believe it is a garrett l200 turbo from a 12 ton MAN rigid body lorry, its pretty epic win ahah, its been relocated to where the battery was as theres no way such a large turbo would fit in the standard place, it has an oil catch tank with breather, braided oil hoses to cope with the increased pressures, relocated brake lines due to turbo fitment, custom manifolds and a custom made 4" straight thru stainless exhaust. bonnet jacked up to clear turbo/inlet manifold/let heat out. massive fmic with all solid 3 inch boost pipes. im sure theres loads of other stuff, so heres a closeup pic to hopefully cover the spec

[darrenjlobb]

Ah ive seen this posted somewhere else I think, any dyno graphs / videos of it in action?

[ozonehostile]

I have changed one thing recently, that white boost pipe was made from an old exhaust, wasnt happy with it so made a new one out of stainless steel one night after work


that was just a trial fit, its at the welders currently having a hole put on for the vacuum hose and a bracket to bolt it to the fuel pump the same as the old manky white pipe, should get it back next week hopefully so i can get it on and sorted

some of you may have seen this car over on club306, but no dyno printouts yet sorry, its been sat at work uninsured due to low funds, but a trip to the dyno is on for this month, no idea what its going to produce power and torque wise, looking forward to finding out

[karl1989]

wow this is epic. think theres some one with a bus turbo ive heard

[ozonehostile]

The best thing about this setup is that it pulls harder than anything ive ever driven or been driven in (including numerous subaru impreza's) and its still got a bog standard fuel pump, so the potential for big power gain is certainly there

[karl1989]

what does the turbo kick in at. have you gov modded the pump?

[ozonehostile]

turbo starts to spool at about 2k rpm, then you get boost at 2.5krpm, only running 1.8 bar currently for the run in period for this setup, but this turbo is easily capable of handling 40+psi. still standard fuel pump, but i do have an 11mm gov mod pump in the parts pile waiting for its time to shine

[Pugmarshall]

Looks a fuckin' animal! Not seen this around before? I'm in Herefordshire, too.

[ozonehostile]

Good to know theres someone else round here lol, its only ever had one outing in the shire, took it to work once and its been at the workshop since, cant resist getting it back on the road again though, this week hopefully

[Pugmarshall]

There's a few of us mate, you know of herefordshire cruise?

[ozonehostile]

not really no, dont get out much haha

[Pugmarshall]

Yeah I'm not familiar with them but there's a couple of very fast dturbos amongst them...

Where in the shire are you mate?

[ozonehostile]

out towards abergavenny, bout 12 miles out of hereford. im looking forward to seeing other dtubs in herefordshire, only ones i know of are all in deep wales

[Eeyore]

this is epic! love having the turbo mounted there as you actually get to see it! D:

[ozonehostile]

you can certainly hear it better mounted where it is too haha, wastegate noise eargasms haha

[the milkman]

wastegate? we dont know what those are on here

[ozonehostile]

haha, just a safety feature while its been run in, manual boost controller is on the shopping list

[the milkman]

we dont use those either

[Pugmarshall]

Well, I do and I f*cked my turbo... Logic, what's that?

[SonnyRoby]

Could you tell me a code or something off the turbo? Building a big turbo 306 and that 2500rpm full boost sounds awsome on a 9mm pump.

[parrotveasey81]

have you got any pics of the exhaust manifold???

[ozonehostile]

The turbo is a garrett gt4294s series used with the MAN tgl rigid body lorry, somthing like 12400cc and 440bhp haha, as for the part number im not 100% sure of the top of my head, il have a look when im down the lockup and take a picture of the exhaust manifold. Im not 100% happy with the manifold btw, as i think now that it could have been designed to flow better but anyway, seems to do the job well enough and if it ever comes to installing an even bigger turbo il change the manifold then

[ozonehostile]

heres a sneak preview of my other ongoing project, pink 2 litre mini haha
