Black Phase 2 dturbo. (4waydiablos old car)

[adamm306]

i guess so but that wouldnt explain the blue smoke bellowing out of it and the bottom end knock

its annoying as i have a spare engine in another car just no expertise/time to get it in there.

[THE_Liam]

Can't imagine stale fuel being an issue considering some of the shite mine runs on...

[Pompey306mark]

That is not good news. Want me to come have a look?

Tbh thats exactly what was going through my head but for the cost of a 5er its always worth trying.

[adamm306]

ragged it on the death on the way home from work was hilarious

[Tom]

So now its dead?

[shaverspeedengineering]

ide take it on adam ..... complete like .. for cash coin so you can go and buy the bits u wanna keep .. i could evan thro in half a roll of carbon wrap a spare bonnet and a full stainless ..... even a smoked digi boost gauge if its ur thang!

[adamm306]

its nearly dead Tom.

and I wouldnt wanna sell it as it is ill be keeping it after it goes bang get everything off it

[4WayDiablo]

Is it really that bad? What the hell is up with it? Can I come have a look at it?

[adamm306]

yeah it is pretty bad

not much to look at to be honest

[Seb_Ryan]

You sure its bottom end? Rather than "pinking"? When my pump slipped a tooth it was knocking like feck and blue smoking.. blue cant be half burned diesel aswell as oil mind

[4WayDiablo]

Well I still need to come get the seat at some point? Want me to come down now?

[Tom]

Be keen to hear what 4way has to say tbh. No offence to you adam, your hardly clued up, if i can say that in not a bad way :/

[adamm306]

We'll sort something Phil

And cheers tom.

[adamm306]

Considering ripping the engine out of my other one and fitting the 11mm and turbo onto it

probably will end in disater though as im not clued up.

[Tom]

You could probably do it yourself, best off finding other people in your area and getting a group of you together, day job for someone whos done it before.

[adamm306]

well the engine is in the silver one so i thought i could use that to learn as its going to be scrapped anyway before i do it on the black car

whilst the engine is out id do the cambelt and pump and change turbo over as i reckon it would be easier

im fairly confident i could change the belt following darrens guide out of the car

[Tom]

Its alot easier outside of the car. Dave done a video aswell which would be worth watching.

[Pompey306mark]

You'll need an engine crane.

[adamm306]

no shit lol

[darrenjlobb]

Get a video of the problem? Only read breifly on my phone so cant comment right now..

The pump thats on that though is really a radge up...IIRC Ed didnt even pay for a seal kit at the time, and it came apart like 3 times due to Ed messing it up the first time / me fixing it..so wouldnt suprise me at all if the pump is leaky / at fault by now..

That said..it is about time that engine died / had a major overhaul...its had years of abuse and iirc to this day the head hasnt even been off??!

[adamm306]

Thanks for your input darren. haven't got a video atm as always work and it's dark by the time I come out.

im back to thinking there is air in the system now just not sure where

If i put my foot flat to the floor there is no power but raise the pedal to 1/4 way it picks up nicely

also i went to put some diesel in earlier and as i undid the fuel cap i heard a pssssssssh (like air escaping)

[adamm306]

This has kinda sorted itself out now so going to give it a nice service at the weekend and buy some new and proper IC pipes and clamps as i have a major boost leak


it seems the car runs like a complete bag of shit when i use tesco diesel i put in some shell diesel and it was running fine then yesterday i was low on fuel and near tesco so put some of that in and the problems came back put in another £20 of shell this morning and its fine again... very strange

[Tom]

Like i said...

[adamm306]

genuinely surprised tesco fuel made that much difference? considering they run on nearly anything lol

[Tom]

Yeah i cant beleive that was actually the problem stay away from tesco and see how it goes

[Midnightclub]

There was hooha recently about a massive amount of diesel exported that had 40% more water than regulations aloud, no idea if any of it reached the UK though.. did a lot of damage to some trucks though

[Matt]

Some of it did reach the uk. Sainsburys on the Isle of Wight had 8 cars breakdown because the water in the fuel fecked the system lol

So could well be dodgy fuel at the moment causing an issue

[adamm306]

i spoke to phil and he said he only used shell/esso aswell so ill just carry on with that and see how it goes. ive read online people having similar issues aswell

[Tom]

Shell is always a good bet!
