205 DTI

[Paul_13]

Got another week before I'm in work so might rebuild it

[Paul_13]

[Paul_13]

Got the Rev counter working

Only Boosting 25ish psi, might have put the mbc on the wrong way

Need to turn the fuel down its a bit smokey

[Piggy]

Need to increase the boost...

Never turn fuel down

[Paul_13]

Wastegate issues...
Or the mbc

---

I don't want to turn the fuel down but it's nearly undriveable because the boost isn't there

Can find any boost leaks but I bet it's the elbow off the turbo which is the most difficult to get to

[Piggy]

....fits laggy td04...

Complains about coal and lagg

[Paul_13]

I honestly think it's a bit of getting used to after driving my hdi!

By the way I'll have that head back to you soon, planning on doing the head gasket on the hdi tomorrow

[Piggy]

No rush at all pal

[Paul_13]

Now Boosting 2 bar + ish

[Danny Wideboy]

Wicked. I had can see this thing shifting.
TD04 is a good turbo for these engines IMO.
Yeah there are faster spooling turbos but the TD04 gives a lot of top end push and I really liked mine.
So much so I am getting another one for my zx estate.

[welshpug]

depends which td04, theres loads of different types

Yawn. 

You say that every time somebody mentions a TD04.

[welshpug]

because its fecking true



got an 11 on my engine, im pretty sure that is very different to the 15 on my friends Saab.

[Paul_13]

Got that working finally! Took a while to work out. First  time I've really loved at Rev counters

---

The positive wire slipped out the plug by accident and touched the earth for a little while causing that. I swapped all the dials over into a stdt clock housing, everything works again.

---

Found 5 dead bulbs all replaced now and lit up like a Christmas tree

---

May of hit 45psi earlier, it went waaaaay above 30 psi earlier

[Piggy]

Winning

[Paul_13]

Just got to find a way of positioning the boost gauge without bastardising the plastic interior

[Paul_13]

Boost hit about there earlier might need to pen some numbers on

[Paul_13]

Should just squeeze that in if I stick the battery in the boot

[powerandtorque]

They do fit on the battery tray just fine - although the other style of pump with the integrated reservoir is better if you're going to install it that way (IMO)

Definitely no way that it'll fit underneath the expansion tank? Normally they squeeze in down there, but not sure it will with the boost pipework on yours.

[Paul_13]

Boost pipe bang in the way so no chance of that

[Paul_13]

62p a litre of goodness

[Paul_13]

Lowered the front slightly, got to match the rear.

I had rebuilt the rear beam not so long ago so it's handling roughly right.

Next job is wishbone bushes and stick the PAS set up on

[allye]

Good to see this is still going Paul! Don't let that bloody bimmer take up all your time.

[Paul_13]

Lowered the back 25mm to match
