Put your good injectors in, make a proper decat pipe , remap and enjoy it. Just do the belts first ?

M32s are made of s**t anyway , same box in the Astra, can get the revised end case and bigger bearings for them now , plus overfilling to 3L and breather port mod stops them f**king up ??

I'd be happy to strip one of my old common rail pumps down that I ran for 4 years on2T diesel mix. Bearing in mind that was a high mileage Dci aswell. I've never had one diesel that's rejected 2T. As said 300ml to 50L of derv is a very small amount, BUT it does somewhat help lubricate and...

The dilution ratio of it ( 50L of derv to 300ml of 2T) isn't nowhere near enough to cause common rail damage. Fair enough , old systems ( mechanical and electo mechanical ) will run it easy enough as those pumps don't run such high tollerences. Need to do a test really on a car I haven't...

IMO never had a problem with running two stroke. Always ran 2 stroke low ash mineral through all the diesels I've got, including the track derv. Not had one fuel related problem in the 5 years 100K miles I've clocked up between them all

Defiantly a straight six. Litterally looked like they whacked a cylinder onto there 5 pot

Seen an old xr2i and a Volvo V90 6 cylinder the other day. Never even knew volvo did an old V90 let alone a straight 6

AlexW managed to do the disc conversion on the derv I've got now , remember allot of f**king about to sort it. Sure it was second hand Dci 100 sensors, 100 rear sensor rings and some wiring correction. As regards to remap, going to 105 should of made a difference. The 80s easy map to 120hp...

These don't run dual mass flywheels. Solid flywheel and sprung clutch. Looking good tho! Will keep watching

Just need to finish fuel system off as was originally having problems but turned out to be a HP pump suction control valve was jamming out slightly stopping pressure and basicly dumping fuel pressure as soon as you turned the ignition off.

Boost pipes also didn't come with a lip for keeping the hoses on so I modified badly a set of grips to do a lip, looks s**t but works.

Then onto the engine , many lack of photos as I'm more of a ' get it done and don't take photos ' kind of guy ? Hybrid turbo , consisting of standard GT1749V cold side housing machines to fit a GT18/20 wheel from a golf. Hot side housIng was a standArd GT1852V setup with cutback fins to '...

Suppose I should update this thread. Not has allot of time lately due to being busy as hell at work. Firstly , re-sealed the sunroof and desided to redo the head liner in black faux suede aswell as the door trims. Will do for now until I deside what to do with the interior

Booked , and track time. Smoke screens ahoy !

I'll try lol

I'm game, if I don't forget. Dunno if I'm in the frankenderv or the desastra mind

Mirror , signal , launch control .....

You'll see two circles , push them in the pull up on the top. Don't stick I prybar under the top or you'll damage the ecu plugs ect. They're abit of a shitter to take off if it's never been off

Happy now @DaveDreads ;)

Second most useful tool for when customers f**k me off ! The dreadsinator 3000

Wilfukeee nut smacker,

Btw I think Alex still has a virgin UCH N3 if you need it

Never did I , just ended up building more crap than actually driving them Hence buying frankenderv from Alex, this one might actually get finished unlike my 2 mk1 clios ( one 1.9 Dti , and one with a 1.9 PD engine )

Are we all coming back out of the woodwork on here again Although .... my engines bigger than yours :p

Erm , ones running , just needs parts fitting, another's still in a million pieces and the other is built but cba to finish it ;)

Watch who's patch your stepping on youth ;) only one diseasel king on here :p

Aux belt strand has probably found its way behind the bottom pulley , jumped the belt a tooth and smashed a valve ( or more ) Only other explanation is a dropped valve

Mk2 polo turbo with a 1.6THP engine and box from a pug 207( not finished yet ) a rover tomcat turbo hiding. Really old BMW M5. Gaz's rat rod truck ... to many down there lol

Which one as there's a P4 and a P5 down at the workshop ;)

That's all from me now. Daves got the car back. Runs spot on, was fun to see it blast around last night, and me badly attempt to keep up in a 200hp diesel Astra PMSL!
