Attemping boosted ph1

[danh90]

After travelling all way round Sheffield to try and get a deep E8 socket which was impossible btw.. I've actually just realised all I need is a 1/4" socket bit instead of a 3/8"..

Numpty!!!

Anyway collected

Oil return pipe
Water feed and return pipe
Water turbo connections
Plenty of hi grip jubilee clips
Actuator hosing

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yes thats what I use, 1/4 drive E8 and an extension.

 

[danh90]

Can't believe how thick I was not to realise this

Today I'm on with fitting sump connecting oil return up

Then the task of fitting the engine back in

 

[danh90]

Just gave opie oils a call as still haven't recidved any oil.

Ordered Thursday paid £15 in postage to have delivered Saturday just spoke to them it's not even on its way yet absolute shambles won't be using those again!

 

[Harpham]

^ Opies are usually perfect tbh.

Thats weird because cups and ph1 normally both have the one piece shafts so I would have expected it to clear, unless one of the cars (ie the cup you bought or the ph1 you have now) has 2 piece shafts?

If so just use the shaft that came with the engine on your car.

 

[danh90]

I thought the driveshafts on a cup and ph1 were different that's what I got told anyway.. Also got to get hold of a mate to do a touch of welding tomorrow as whoever welded the oil return pipe on the sump was obviously pissed.. Had silicone around the outside when I went to put the actual piping on it just fell out :/

Going to be one hell of a busy day tomorrow

 

[Cupman29]

I had to swap to 2 piece shafts due to this problem. The oil return hit the gaiter of the one piece shaft but the fell between each of the gaiters on the 2 piece shafts.

I would cancel the ,aping as you don't want to have to cancel a mapping session half way through due to issues caused with making do or rushing something. Get the car spot on before taking it. I thought from the start you had set yourself a very short deadline for someone who hadnt carried out one before.

 

[scotty2hotty81]

Oil returns a weird one, can't see why it would be different on your car, do you have a picture?

this is mine.

 

[scotty2hotty81]

Forget my previous post, just re read yours.

 

[Chip-mk1]

I thought the driveshafts on a cup and ph1 were different that's what I got told anyway.

They are different shafts but the inner end is only significantly different on the Ph2 non cup, as thats the ones with the equal length kit which means the inner cv sits in a different place.

Also got to get hold of a mate to do a touch of welding tomorrow as whoever welded the oil return pipe on the sump was obviously pissed.. Had silicone around the outside when I went to put the actual piping on it just fell out :/

Flol sounds a bit of a bodge, not good!

 

[danh90]

Haven't got a picture at minute of mine but it wasn't an elbow he had come out then a 45' up kind of looked s**t tbh

I'm going to get it done with the elbow now I've seen that..

So the cup drive shaft could go onto the ph1 is that what your saying chip?

 

[Chip-mk1]

No im not saying that, im saying if the cup has been fitted with a ph2 non cup shaft, you would need to fit that to the ph1 if you wanted to have the return in the same place as before.

But if you are getting it welded anyway, just get it welded in a place that suits the shaft on your ph1 already.

 

[danh90]

Right get you now..

Ill put the shaft on tomorrow then decide where best place for it to go is. That's the only thing holding me up ATM along with the oils.

What would you reckon about fitting the engine in and connecting the return pipe up while its in or too akward to get to?

As welder might not be able to get till afternoon and don't want to lose all them hours doing nothing.

 

[BIGASH]

Dan is your welder able to weld Aluminium? As I think it requires a different type of welding machine

 

[danh90]

Yes mate he explained that as well as I didn't know. I could actually use my other sump now and just fit a new piece to that

I can easily connect and disconnect my return when its in the car, but cant comment on yours as never seen it.

 

[LewisTaylor]

Been keeping an eye on this but not saying much. This thread would make good reference for anyone building a Turbo Clio in the future with all the info in here

Look forward to seeing the results once it's in and mapped

 

[Laine_16v]

My reutrn has worked out reasonably well (see project thread), and thats using a 1 piece shaft. Its a shame i cross threaded the thread on the sump, it does up tight (but is stiff), and does leak

Im going to drill and tap a return into the engine block next time.

I've got a return that goes into the engine im going to be selling if you wanna make me an offer? was from a BBPT kit

 

[Laine_16v]

It's ok mate ive got a hose tail with a threaded end ready, just need to buy a tap for it. But thanks anyway, that reminds me i saw your PM but never replied to it

 

[danh90]

Small update!

 

[Laine_16v]

An all too familiar sight!

 

[danh90]

Just got in from been in the garage since 10 am :/

As far as I know everything's ready for me to get some oil first thing and fire it up, some weird noises coming from underneath middle of car when pushing it out just now

 

[Chip-mk1]

Good commitment that man

what sort of noises?

 

[imprezaworks]

Great effort Dan

 

[danh90]

Sort of a grinding noise something doesn't sound right,,

Just putting all the oils in now then going to give it a try

 

[Chip-mk1]

Not just rusty disks where they have got rained on while the wheels were off?

 

[mi16chris]

Thats hardcore mate hope it gos ok for u

 

[danh90]

Is where the gearbox oil goes in that black plastic box on the top of it. Square ish box just plugs into gearbox with a lid on?

 

[DannyR]

NO, the little thumb screw type thing on the front of the gearbox is where you need to get to

 

[danh90]

That plastic Wing type screw?

 

[Tutuur]

Yes mate, fill until it seeps out (with the car level) and then refit the plastic screw thingy

 

[Chip-mk1]

I use a hard plastic hose that I poke into the hole, and then fill that from a funnel.

 

[Budgie]

Yes mate, fill until it seeps out (with the car level) and then refit the plastic screw thingy

This. Or 3.1 litres.

 

[DannyR]

You can get a washing machine hose which is a full size hose with a moulded plastic pipe on the end. Just cut the fixing off the end and its perfect.

 

[danh90]

Did exactly that put a fitting inside some hose and filled it from top..

Right filled engine oil, gearbox oil, power steering fluid and engine Coolant all done..

Ready to give it ago was told to disconnect oil feed on turbo when first start and pour some oil in the Turbo but I physically can't get to it??

 

[Jay.S]

Awesome thread.

Fingers crossed and video of first start up?
