[Tom]

Updates man, pics and tuning progress and stufff! Keen to hear how this turbos going

[Piggy]

No video...no belief :p

[Jimbo]

Right ok,
So had a play with pump today because wasnt overly impressed last night. So have given it load of fuel and pulled the throttle arm forward a spline. Now its like a different car, pulls hard right through the revs.
Cant say what its spooling at ( only issue yesterday was getting.rev counter to work) but id say 2500rpm roughly
Really impressed so far will maybe see about getting a video of it at some point.
Here's a few pics of yesterday











Also fitted my rallye blanks and a new wing while front was off to tidy it up a bit.
Its running 22/24 psi at.mo and.clean on boost so maybe more fuel needed
Thanks to mike and Frosty for all there help too

[Piggy]

only want a SLIGHT haze on boost...anymore and all you are doing is losing fuel and cooking your engine

---

what Turbo you running?

PS...welcome to the moonshine XUD club

[padge]

Hes on a gt1752 i think

[Piggy]

Oooooo...that'll do nicely

[Jimbo]

Yeah on a saab gt17, off a petrol so larger hotside hence a. Slightly 'laggier' drive pulls very well though.
Well anything would after a standard hdi for 7 months.
Certainly quicker than my black dt

Dw piggy im familier with setting the pumps up cheers tho

[td_dan]

I was watching a 1752 the other but someone must of bought it out of ebay it looks like a decent turbo and should run some good solid figures without it working too hard, well done mate looks good

Cheers mate, yeah im really happy with it to be honest, I dont no of any others on here so wasnt sure what to expect.
Give it some fuel and it really woke up

[td_dan]

[Tom]

Does it make epic wa chu chu chu noises?

[Jimbo]

Maybe a little bit tom

[Jimbo]

Not an update as such, just to say now done 350 miles without an issue which is fairly good going I think.
Goes well pulls quite hard compared to.what I was expecting.
Seems to pressurise the top hose a bit but its.not causing any problems.

Only thing is the rev counter doesnt work, its had a new.sensor and.were using the right plug on loom.
It never worked in the old car either??

So I dunno whats up there, ive put ph2 dash clocks in
Im suspicious as if its got.the wrong flywheel as there doesnt seem. To be a pick up on it

Anyone shed any light?

[Piggy]

What pickup are you using?

I have a ph3 and am using a xud9 pickup on the back of the flywheel, with ph2 dturbo clocks

---

And a xud9 fly

[Jimbo]

Im using the one on back of the block too, just.dunno why it wont pickup a signal

[Piggy]

What flywheel you using?

---

And what loom? I found two plugs on my loom that fitted

[Jimbo]

I have no idea, the flywheel that came on the engine. I didnt take much notice to be honest.
Ph1 dt loom and have tried both plugs too.

[mikey b]

Will have to look on the flywheel on cragis engine that I got back he and see what we can find might have to do a quick flywheel swap one weekend

[mr_fish]

Sensor is pushed in enough? sounds silly but never know...

[jammapic]

You really have to push that sensor in a long way. I've had the same issue myself.

I use a hammer to lightly tap it all the way in, and then just pull it back a hair.

[Dum-Dum]

Might of missed it but did you swap to ph2 clocks as the revs wont work on ph3 ones

[Piggy]

Might of missed it but did you swap to ph2 clocks as the revs wont work on ph3 ones

Yeah he has.

Thats good point James makes...did same with mine, tapped till touched the fly then bought it away enough for a fag paper to slip by

[Jimbo]

Thanks for the info guys still haven't got round to looking yet

Another update,

Front brakes were about shot, discs very worn and pads not far off
Bought some '6 brakes from eddy gti6 on here (top bloke)
The discs that come were pretty bad, but pads very good.
Had an hour spare this morning so fitted them, all went together easy bleed nipples free etc
Few pics








And a money shot



Cheers and gone

[Poodle]

When does the GT17 come on song? I guess you're running "stage 2" kind of level fuelling..?

[silverzx]

Looks good bud.

[Jimbo]

Yeah fuelling it fair on a 9mm pump, without a rev counter :/
Im gonna say 2200/2500 rpm so its not 'laggy' as such it is.off a petrol though so has a larger hotside which helps it keep pulling round if.u know what I mean.
Im pretty impressed and id estimate 150/60 bhp so around stage 2 hdi power.


Cheers trent, im really loving this car at the moment
