jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car

[procta]

where did you get the droplinks from, another idea for mine i think.

[Atterz]

Foxy

Hub removal
- Extract lower ball joint.
- Slacken shock pinch bolt and extract shock from hub.
- Remove track rod end from hub (Using leverage to pressure the joint if its spinning.
- Remove 35mm bolt holding driveshaft to hub.
- Be careful driveshaft doesnt either seperate at a joint or drop out gearbox.
- Admire the hub now in your hand!

[Foxy-jim]

It may b a rear one I have to do. Will I need to change wheel bearings etc?

Sorry to hijack your tread jp!

[Atterz]

Yes, the rear hub is integral with the bearing so both are replaced at the same time.

[Foxy-jim]

Ok thanks for the help!

not a bad idea . . . . . . might lash summit onto my top mount using the rear washer output, being as it's blocked and has never worked anyway . . . . . .just a thought, is screenwash corrosive in any way does anyone know? . . .

[ginge191]

really nice idea this...

im going to assume it doesnt run off the same switch as your windscreen jets - or does it :| would get annoying ?

I ran a water spray system on my old top mount and it made no noticable difference

that's coz you pootle around like my gran on sedatives . . . . .

[padge]

Meh, i hammered it up a huge bypass got heatsoak and the water did nothing lol

[Dave]

Off the rear one if its dewipered at the back?

[karl1989]

i want to do this to mine but if i use it of the rear wiper my boot will pop open first so id have to pull up and close it lol

[jammapic]

All I've used is the rear water pump motor thing, wired up a seperate switch etc. My car has no rear wiper anyway so it's spot on.

I'm running 50/50 water and alcohol so it evaporates quick. I don't normally get hear soak anyway, but if I do I'll fire this on!

[jammapic]

OK - so today worked on "Pikey IC spray mk2"













Twin mist nozzles. Works far better.

i like how we both end up doing this at the same time and yet i get little response....... lol btw look in my thread i can prove it makes a difference in reducing temps. it even combats increase in temps when on boost and reduces them

[jammapic]

Did a road rally this weekend up in the lake district, surprised a few "petrolheads" which is always good fun! Managed to get airbourne which was unpleasant, and spent most of my time at full throttle and 4000rpm+ without issue!... I think it's time now to retire this engine from service, it's been a strong old ox!

Few photos of the car doing it's thing:

[mark_airey]

Is it bad that I know where at least 90% of those shots were taken?

You could not have asked for better weather for it, though I am still upset you didn't pop in for a brew!

And if your retiring that engine what are the plans for replacement...............

Boosted GTi-6....

Nah, f**k that :-). Another XUD, forged internals, more boost and some other bits still not disclosed on here... if you talk to me sweetly over PM and buy those coilovers I might tell you

Glad your staying as is with the XUD powers!
Fair play I'm working on it with the coilies, I will chase engine info when I get that one sorted might even give you a bell for a chat one night this week so you can tell me then

[strictly_perv]

That road rally looked a laugh, some nice 205's there. Bet most of them where GTI-6 engined one's, seems a very popular swap.

Or slow and thirsty MI16 Turbo technics ones

So PPC in the Park was fun... thanks guys!







Car went great and didn't miss a beat, thanks to the 306oc pit crew for swapping the wheels over when the weather came good!

Can't wait to get the new motor in and really put it through it's paces, when not worrying about rods!

JP

[Dum-Dum]

I cant wait for you to put your new motor in either, its gonna be awesome. If I was closer Id offer to help.

Looks evil.. whats with the big secret?

[Midnightclub]

Gunna say what lumps going in it yet? Lol

[jammapic]

XUD9, with long stroke crank and bigger bore pistons. Just over 2.15l. That, with forged rods, forged pistons, forged valves, ceramic coated exhaust ports and precups and mega big valve head.

Also using a HDi gearbox, Quaife LSD and a Helix twin plate clutch pack.

Turbo is being made SLIGHTLY bigger, and am building a new pump literally as we speak in the garage.

[Dum-Dum]

No replacement for displacement mate.
