Joey the VNT boosted 205!

[Tom]

Righto an update to keep this going, will be the last one for a couple days now, waiting on bits in the post

So today, got all those crappy niggly bits done, yano tidying up a few water hoses tweaking oil line etc!


I then put one driveshaft in and that side is done! f*cking done! Sweet ay.


All the needle bearings had fallen out the shaft in the other side so i have bought another.

To do list:
Inline fuel filter maybe
Finish the electrics and get a battery in and test out mystery switches and see what works and what doesnt. (waiting on new terminals)
Driveshaft in. (waiting on shaft)
Fill box with oil. ^^
Fill the whole thing with water.
Start it!
Bleed coolant (that'll be fun)
Tidy it up.
Fit front mount. That will probably done in dribs and drabs.
Enjoy.

[Piggy]

step by step!!

[Matt]

Love this car so much! Gutted I missed out! Treat her well

[Tom]

Boost pipes are here, fuel filter, driveshaft and battery terminals on the way, might go over and do a bit more this evening. Just a bit of wiring and some boost pipes i think, and fill the system with water and see what happens.

[silverzx]

true story, once you drive a 205, 306 just feels like the fat out of shape version lol

This man speaks the truth.

[Tom]

I am f*cking excited, the cars up on stands in the workshop and i was sat in there pressing the pedals and changing gear and turning the wheel having a little orgasm, well then a random man walked into the workshop must of wondered what the f*ck i was doing haha!

[strictly_perv]

Haha your not on your own! I did that in joey lots of times!
Drop me a text if you want to find out what some of the extra wiring is for

[Tom]

Consider yourself texted sir!

[Piggy]

how close is it to back on road?..

[Tom]

End of the week as long as i get the bits i need

[Tom]

Popped in to check on Joey earlier, hes loving life! Dropped off some electric connections so i can finish the wiring and some boost pipes so i can start that.

And important stuffs: Reppin DVLA



In other news i licked all the glue off that envelope and had to use tape

[MissTap_GTI6]

*She

She might be having an engine change; but she is all crazy boosting woman.

[Tom]

I cant help but think Joey isnt the greatest girls name :/

[kernow_joe]

I am jealous of your workshop, is that a Fiat 126 I see?
glad this awesome 205 has come to Cornwall, will have to get a meet sorted when mine Is sorted

[Tom]

Not my shop, no fiat haha. Would love a meet though!

Just attempted a first start, forgot the stop solenoid so just came home to grab a connector block just so i can get it going. Onto boost hoses and stuff after this!

[Tom]

Shes* -.- AALIIVVEE!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yeah didnt take long, somethings up with the stop solenoid wire, just stuck a wire to the battery to get it going. Sounds horrific with no exhaust, i really wish i could keep it like that, or just a 3" upstack haha.

But yeah couple more pics, got an audi tt fuel filter on the way tomorrow, might drive it tomorrow evening! Getting close now.

Was a bit cloudy when it started...


Stuff..


Turbo pipe!


Got a running vid on the way aswell

[Frosty]

Great news it runs mate! Not much left to do now then?

[Tom]

Put a wheel on, finish intercooler pipework, try and sort some kind of exhaust out.

[Tom]

Got a bit more done this evening, i now have an rpm reading and a temp reading which is nice. I have figured out which wires make the slimline fan work. The bad news is my f*cking intercooler wont fit, which sucks, so im going to run like this...



And i also put my audi tt fuel filter on :p Its a pretty big filter in all fairness.



Also need to sort an exhaust, my downpipe should fit with a bit of hammer/blowtorch modification

[procta]

coming on well!

[Tom]

Will be driving next week

[Tom]

On the ground, got no exhaust and my downpipe needs chopping to fit. And that stop solenoid is driving me up the wall.

[Piggy]

surely the fmic will fit...WILL fit with enough chopping cutting??
good to see theres a beating heart

[Tom]

It would be alot of choppy choppy and i dont want to cut chunks out of it, just need an intercooler with inlets on the top :/ I dont want to ruin the look of it, its looks so awesome now i'd never forgive myself for taking a chunk out of the bumper/chassis lol
