The Old XUD DervBus Thread!

Today has really been full of fail....

Finished work by 10am, (raining)....so thought excellent, a day of fixing up the car, so set out in a good mood...

Started off by completing the new supercharger setup, set it all up on a test block, all looking good, nice and simple compared to the old system, and generally happy with it:

(excuse useless pics, my phone sucks big time)






So then removed the injector pump that died (the FCS dyno pump) to find this inside....











Basically the plunger has seized up solid in its bore (probs due to silly rpms) which has then caused the ring gear to snap, and then the main input shaft to snap clean in to...

So basically my big head / rotor is now scrap, along with rest of the pump....

So decided as I had nothing else to use, I would just build myself a 11mm govmodded stock pump with a few other small tweaks just to keep it going for now, wouldnt be to bad etc, so did that, bolted it all up, got it started up etc, couldnt rev it all all / idle or anything as there is no charger, and it literally barely runs on NA compression...but thats that all sorted anyways...

So fitted all the supercharger again, got that all in, but for some reason my perfectly aligned setup off the car, is no longer alined, and belt just runs off, and its just a general **** up really....so going to have to re think the entire thing, strip it all down again, really frustrating really...

So abandoned it for today as im in a bad mood with it / tired from work etc so just going to leave it alone for now....

Plan is to move the idler much closer to the crank pulley so it hopefully it wont go out of track, and obviously sort out the current issue with alinement.
