stef's 205 gti6 supercharged

[Stef205]

some slight bad news on the 205,
I was traveling back from picking the 106 up and i started to get little fuel to the engine followed by alot of fuel cutting, i managed to limp the car home from 30 miles away.
The next morning i took the fuel filter apart to inspect for any fillings to find the filter gorse and housing full of them. Removed the pump from the tank and the pump was also full of them.



 Anyway i ordered a new walbro 340 pump from jjc and it arrived the following day and fitted it. Pump primed and was noticeably alot quieter. Tried to fire the car up for it to splutter and fart, it then idled followed by it revving its self up and holding it at 3-4k. I removed the inlet as i suspected the inlet has cracked a weld or the inlet gasket had given up the ghost. I rigged the inlet up to a piece of 6mm steel and clamped it down with a bit of rubber in between and pressurized it with the compressor at about 1.5 bar, then sprayed soapy water around the welds and joins. I found 2 cracks in the welds and the icv wasnt seated correctly. I Dont believe this is down to poor welds as its cast and its horrible to weld to. Never the less i dropped it of to my friend who was over the moon about seeing it again
I then decided to inspect the charger while it was off and check its oil. I found a light mist of oil on the rotors which is down to the other seal which i hadent got round to changing so that will now be done.



This is now how the car stands atm




I had also made some inserts for my seat rails that i will attend to. Id planned to use some 1" cds tube and i made the seat inserts sit flush in the tube, Also as ill be upgrading to 6 points i made some harness eye inserts to weld into the tube.



All for now
