I've got mine at about 28psi on the fronts.

I might not even run an ecu, the pump is the old style chip controlled version, which can be swapped out for a 306 TD Bosch pump. Then if I want revs , I'd have to do it old school and convert the alternator signal for it. so that leaves , pump stop switch / glow plugs and other silly little...

I know my dti engine has a ph1 jc5 box. Hole in the top but unsure if that's the hole for the speedo gear. ( hopefully the mk1 clocks will be near bang on calibration for speed indication) Its wether the rest of the parts I have fit, ie 172 front suspension set up. Mk1 subframe looks...

Aslong as you haven't gave it hell with it like that, you'll be fine. Giving it stick with a blown pipe with over heat the turbo bearings.

Throw it into fifth and dump the clutch with handbrake/brakes on. Will stop It from running off. Unfortunately it may destroy the engine only other way is block the inlet off but you won't have time to react

@Dan@SJM @MicKPM Chip-mk1 anyone that knows mk1's basically lol

Sorry if in wrong section ) As above. I have a 172 widetrack conversion kit here, with the Intention of refitting it back to my dci, although now I've lost all love for it , getting rather board of fixing random parts and a recent engine build has finally made me deside I want something older...

Not fully ;) nothing worse than taking the key out, and it's still screaming with joy LOL

Turbo had it. Seen it a few times. Your lucky it's switching off lol, and not running off the rev counter. Diesel knock will possibly be something internal not happy with the high revs either that out you messing about fitting cruise has disturbed wiring else where , caulsing the ecu to go nuts !

Depending how bad yours is ( if it's the turbo at fault ) i would either see if it's cheaper to get it rebuilt by a turbo recon specialist or go Renault. never chance it with turbos on a diesel , only takes the seals to break and you will destroy the engine. Anyway, first inspect , buy last!

Yes , has to be a KP35 turbo for a 1.5dci ( it's also used on pug/ford 1.4 hdi/tdci engines but different CHRA housing ) cheap ones on ebay I would avoid. I had a cheap new one... killed it off pritty quick (China crap ) renault are about 300 something + VAT

You either have a knackered turbo ( although usually when they go the ecu has a hissy fit and makes the dci's roll coal like an old diesel train ) or hose /intercooler damaged. Check and check again. £300 odd for a new turbo is allot of money's now the first gen k9ks are pritty much like...

They arnt that bad of an engine lol

Take the turbo inlet hose off and see if the turbo spins/ excessive shaft play. Did it scream before finall power loss?

Turbo v6 sounds like a plan

If you can hear air being pushed about, check all the boost pipes are on.

Think I need to make a fast diesel mk1 now :o one rather impressive build! Hats off to you sir!

There's f**k all Chavy about it lol! Far from it

i know, does the needs for shopping ;).

looks like the nut off the washer blanks.
