Stage 3 XUD project

[padge]

You got msn mate? or facebook?

[ash23]

I thought the only thing wastegate would help really, is if it was surging like a mofo low down, and would therefore stop it reaching stupid psi. For example, im de-wastegate atm...seems fine If i control my foot alright low down, it boosts up fine, reaches 27psi, and sticks there. I just can't get my head around it lawl...i dont know why

Why would I have to drop the fuel down if i run dewastegate? I mean, my fuel is giving enough for 27psi, if i gated it at 27psi...its gonna have the same effect? Im wrong i guess lawl...just need you to explain it more teehee

matthew just use a ko3 manifold can stil keep the actuator as im doing


padge really like the car but whats up with the paint to warent a respray

[padge]

It's tacky mate, depresses me lol.

[londondan86]

Loving this car mate, never noticed the seats before.

I guess your waiting till after xmas to get the inlet/head sorted?

[Harky]

You must be really good at taking pictures though 'cos I've never noticed the paintwork in anyway tacky!!

Lovely car though!

[padge]

Heh thanks guys, dan, funnily enough the head will be getting done next week

another head, skimmed, cleaned.
MLS gasket, new head bolts, inlet gasket, rocker gasket, new NGK glow plugs, timing belt, waterpump, all on next week with fresh oil, filter and coolant! oh and my polished rocker cover is going on along with polished bosch LDA cap

Might be ordering a 13 row mocal oil cooler too.

[londondan86]

So you SHOULD finally have booooost!!!!!! lol


Where are you gona put the oil cooler, that is on my shopping list after crimbo but cant think where to put it, dont really want it in front if the IC.

[padge]

Well i can get it to boost to 16psi, but atm i've turned it way down to 10psi, and it still pulls like mad lol, it's silly how much more these flow compared to a t2, im putting the oil cooler in the wing i think, where the arch liner would come round behind the bumper.

[padge]

Rocker and LDA cap finally finished..



And started to strip and clean the head down, will be cleaned up ready for monday, when it will be getting skimmed.

[Danny2009]

mmm shiny stuff !, They will look good next to your boost pipes. Should be all running properly soon then

[padge]

Shouldnt be long now! got more things for the bay too

[Dave]

I thought this was all up and running? whats happened why is the head off...

Good project, I want you seats.



Give abit of that while the heads off... might aswell

[padge]

Nah dave, this is my spare head, i can only get 16psi out of the t25 because the inlet dosent tighten up in 2 places, as the threads dont excist anymore in my current head! lol hmm exhaust porting with teh dremal? how far to go though? any real difference?

[Dave]

Well you could ask is there any real difference in any of it... but you do them all, and the exhaust... it's gonna make about 0.5hp difference I suppose lol. Material match to a gasket on both the inlet mani and exhaust/inlet ports. Wow a couple of threads made that much difference to the way it boosted? What happens does it just smoke like buggery or can you hear it hissing like fook ?

[padge]

it hisses, it was 9psi before we put gasket seal on aswell as a metal gasket, then got it to 16psi, smokes like feck on boost and hisses so bad lol!

[Dave]

ahh fair, yea I guess that makes sence... drop your CR while you've got your head off!!

[padge]

Material match to a gasket on both the inlet mani and exhaust/inlet ports

I dont get what you mean here? do you mean i'll have to modify the inlet/exhaust mani gasket to match the porting adjustments?

[Dave]

Use the gasket as a template, and remove material on the inlet mani to match the gasket, see how far it is on the head with the gasket and then remove material on the head to match the size of the gasket... so the plenum is smooth with less turbulence.

[padge]

Thought thats what you meant going to do it tommorow, cheers

[Dave]

Drop your CR aswelll!!!!!!

[Jonny b]

Thought you was getting rid padge?

[padge]

Nah i cant i love it too much lol!

[Jonny b]
