My HDi

You could try getting a CG clutch, they're very cheap for uprated. Get what you pay for at the end of the day though, will you mind having to replace it if it shits itself..? If not drash on with the cheaper stuff and let us know if we can get away with it too.

[Adam Canning WSG]

Looking good chap what stage you doing?? Havent seen a hdi with a tdo4 yet like to see how this goes

cheers lad, going stage 2, hope to get a few videos up wen shes finished, cus not many people have good hdi acceleration videos and stuff up

tbh i just went for the cheapest clutch i could find that was advertised to handle stage 2 lol, i will let everyone know how it goes, and if it goes well it will be a win for the whole 306 community :p

the mock setup for intercooler, radiator, fans, and wiring

[Adam Canning WSG]

engine set in for mock up, with bay mounted turbo

[ozonehostile]

is that a gearbox mounted td04?

good effort though, gearbox mounted turbos are the way forward

it is indeed cheers lad, cant wait to see it finished, i reckon it will look and drive like a beast lol

[Adam Canning WSG]

Turbo set in, getting the intercooler piped now



Engine out for the last time, getting the exhaust pipes heat wrapped



How the exhaust pipes are sitting:
yellow = engine - turbo
orange = turbo
Red = Exhaust
(Blue = Air inlet bend)

Im impressed your cracking on! The outlet on the turbo exhaust side looks a bit small :/

cheers lad aww we made up custom adapter plates and the holes we made in them, we made to suit the exhaust pipe we had to work with, should give a great powwww noise when the wastegate opens

My show plate for the ultimate car show in larne - 24th of march

[Adam Canning WSG]

Picked up a handy wee set of half leather seats for cheap as chips, no pics as of yet, there currently being delivered, pics to follow

[Adam Canning WSG]

Few pictures of the new half leather seats i got, few scuffs on driver seat bolster, but taking it to an upholsterers soon to get repaired





And a wee pic of the custom spray job i got done on my engine cover, the 'TD04' bit is painted, not a sticker :p

[fluffyhead69]

Very tidy motor!

[Adam Canning WSG]

Very tidy motor!

Cheers mate

Few pics of the engine now, breather pipe for catch tank needs connected then the front end to go back on she should be finished tomorrow night



-notice the all important cock on the R plate lol
-ECU bolted to suspension tower (getting heat shielded tomorrow)
-custom sprayed engine cover
-oil catch tank (oil draw off is the blue pipe, the other blank hole is for the breather pipe)
-custom bracket made up to mount the throttle body on, as it was previously mounted to the air box (now removed as you can see)
-induction cone fits nicely between the 2 intercooler pipes and still has the maf sensor attatched (will be removed when car is remapped)



-the pipe coming along the top is the water feed to the turbo, the return of this is not visible
-the black pipe on left hand side is the oil draw off to the catch tank
-the braided hose just below the oil draw off hose, is the oil return from the turbo, is it both braided and heatshielded to withstand high temperature and pressures
-notice how the maf sensor is still present, this is to keep the car running smoothly until it is mapped out

its coming along well adam, engine bay looks the part, will be a mean looking thing with the front mount aswell

thanks boss, she will definetly be noticed anywhere she goes i reckon :p

How it looks now that shes finished might put mesh over the grill, but dont want it looking tacky will try and get a few videos up of how she pulls asap

[Stephen]

Any ideas on what sort of power your expecting?

Looks tidy though, nice work!

[Ricky]

Are you not going to change the angle of the turbo? I would be worried about the bearings not getting an even coat of oil, and as said about the seals failing.


Looks awesome though, very neat install.

thanks, estimating somewhere around 180bhp with a good map, but we will have to wait and see what can be achieved lol

we reckon the turbo should be okay at the angle it is at, and it makes installing the water and oil feed and returns alot easier and neater, thanks mate, now for the hardest part of all.. paying for it lol

[Adam Canning WSG]

very sad to announce everyone, but this project seems like a complete failure and a dead end at that put the car on the rolling road today and she put out 50bhp that is not a mistake people, YES! WSG put out only 50bhp this is a very sad day, and the guys at torquetronix actually refused to remap the car.. after much deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that the TD04 is the cause of such power loss in the car, we are now in the process of putting the old turbo back in and scrapping the TD04 and selling the mouting brackets, adapter plates, and exhaust pipes, i will keep everyone updated how it goes, but as for now, the project seems to be a failure, sorry everyone

50bhp.. i honestly didnt know these engines could put out that little power lol

[rickye]

not good lad, all that work to end up being such a disappointment

but, if ur selling the turbo, dibs on it

[rd070707]

so whats the explanation behind why the turbo was so bad?

[c.gerrard]

That seems very odd. Did you not drive it to the dyno and notice a serious lack of power?

How come you're blaming the turbo?

[puglove]

Mate dont give up that easy, there must be a reason/fault behind this that can be sorted then you can go on a progress, chuck up a thread in the HDI section and seek some advice before you go ripping it apart,


Hope you can find a solution buddy, dont give up

[Adam Canning WSG]

Just stood in the garage for 4 hours and missed dinner so we could do tests on every aspect on the cars airflow to try and see what te problem was, and we came up with the maf sensor ballsing the whole thing up, reverted my turbo back to standard before we found out that was the problem, and very sad now lol, need to fix back brakes as they as siezed, car will be back of out garage for the weekend hopefully running standard turbo, as a result of starting a new job on monday, i need the car back and do not have enough time to put the td04 back in as a result, im selling the whole kit turbo included, pm for more details but project is back on, but without td04, but we know how to do it, so td04 may be back in in the future ladsss

[puglove]

MTFU and keep it untill you get the chance to do it!

[Adam Canning WSG]

Wee update

bought another set of half leathers, these ones with the grey leaf, got them for a steal too :p got myself a new caliper off a recently wrecked car as my front passenger side caliper is seized due to my agri-spec paint brush tactics of painting calipers :L also manage to scoop a set of vortexes (solid centres) with 4 great tyres for cheap cheap money, all in all, good past week, will get a few more pics of the seats tomorrow in the light, and the wheels whenever i get them on the car.. but until then heres these..





Also if this thread gets to 1500 views, i will upload a video of me going out by a Porsche boxter s in 4th gear (still havnt got s2 map)
