Not shocked at there being a diesel cooler, just said haven't seen an aftermarket one on before and was wondering why he was adding one on
I guess in my mind it might have been acting similar to the intercooler allowing denser fuel to flow therefore increased bang for buck? or could be on the wrong page in a different book

[Hdisw]

tomorrow i'll go to the mechanic to see how it's going and i'll take some pictures to update the thread

[Pugmarshall]

Looks like you've got some good plans

Btw the standard coolers are under the car, so if you don't know you're clearly not man enough.

[Poodle]

We know where the standard ones go, but what's the point of an after-market one? I don't imagine they can hold 1350bar of pressure, so pre-hp pump seems logical. Fuel will already be slightly heated by the lp pump and, as Steve said, cooler = denser. Was just wondering if it'd be worth it tbh, particularly if it's going to replace the standard item...

[Hdisw]

maybe wednesday it will be ready to roll finally !

[Seid']

go for it dude

[Hdisw]

[Piggy]

do the hdi's have to be removed for turbo replacement?!

I thought it was a rock n roll procedure like the xud?

[Hdisw]

the turbo is placed behind/under the engine and it's hard to reach there .. in my case it was better to get the engine out because i had some other parts to be taken care of.

[Hdisw]

286k km

[Hdisw]

more of the same !

[Hdisw]

Fitting test of the exhaust header/turbo

[Seid']

near to the end

[Hdisw]

Well long time no updates !

Here's some:

The 1756VK almost done and installed.



Engine back to his place.



Covered by dust



The oil cooler isn't going to be installed there, it was just a test to see where's the best place to put it, that's not good indeed. lol



Oil temperature and turbo pressure gauges.

[Birk]

What power are you expecting ?

[Hdisw]

170hp and 400nm i guess

[Midnightclub]

Can't help but think that power is going to be wasted through those skinny 14s lol

[Hdisw]

i know m8, i wanted to change it first, suspension and brakes aswell but this turbo shaite came along and ...

for now it will get the H&R springs 40mm and when i have a chance i'll get the 195/55/R15 (i'm thinking something different from the usual cyclone, etc ...) and the upgrade to 283mm or 288mm.

[Poodle]

Really glad to see this project is still going, making good progress too. The compressor outlet on the turbo looks like it points straight at the chassis rail, how are you routing the intercooler piping?

[Hdisw]

Poodle, yep it's still going but taking too long. lol

The compressor outlet was modified of course, i'm not sure how are they routing the piping ..

I was going to see how things are going yesterday but i didn't had the chance, maybe today i'll pass by and take some photos if there's something new to show ...

[Poodle]

Hahaha i know the feeling mate, mine's taken 3 years so far.

Fair enough, i'd be interested to know how they've done it. Hope you manage to get more pictures soon, like this project a lot.

[Hdisw]

And now i'm driving a skoda fabia 1.4 TDI estate 09' daily ... not the same feeling as the 306 .. lol the only one i have fun is with my partner 1.6 HDi 2012, of course, it's a PUG.

But i'll take some photos with all the details i can get.

Hug.

[Hdisw]

Just to say that this estate isn't dead !

It's taking a while because i had some problems with the mechanic who was doing this, he wouldn't finish it, kept saying that he didn't had the time and bla bla bla ...

So i decided to change it to another mechanic and i'm waiting for my "turn" now.

[Scott]

That's good to hear, I really like this project!
