Attemping boosted ph1

[dmallett]

You must be so pleased with this so far, quick progress too!

Front end looks awesome, need silvertecs

 

[danh90]

Yeah we'll chuffed I removed some off the cup but cracked them while doing so

 

[Cupman29]

Looking good mate! Hope all goes well once mapped.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Good job well done Dan, going to be epic once mapped.

 

[danh90]

This month can't go quick enough

 

[Chip-mk1]

This month can't go quick enough

Shh, some of us with half built engines and shed loads of work commitments this month actually need it to last forever to be ready for bedford, lol

 

[danh90]

Ha.. We both know you'll still get loads done and probably even be done before mine lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Flol, if only that was the case mate, sadly ive got at most 4-5 hours a week realistically between now and bedford to get my turbo and my mk1 both ready. Which seems unlikely.
Although if Danlp6 keeps popping round lending me a hand, that massively increases the odds, he is so much quicker working on clios than I am! Engines etc Im fine with but things like dash in and out and that he runs rings round me as he has done it all so many more times before.

 

[danh90]

Suppose it's handy having someone like that around you to give a hand..

You need the turbo ready for Bedford!!

All the turbos out together

 

[Chip-mk1]

Suppose it's handy having someone like that around you to give a hand..

Fooking right!
Bottom line is there isnt really anything on a car I cant do, but someone like Dan who works on them day in and day out can do a lot of the standard mechanical stuff much quicker than I can.

You need the turbo ready for Bedford!!

I am really hoping it will be mate.

All the turbos out together

Yeah man, deffo, Mike's brother is booked on too (mike from MWM I mean) in his turbo although its his daily road car and not mega spec its still quick.

 

[danh90]

Been looking at my water pipe lines and the one one the back of the turbo is so tight upto the bulkhead that its bent that much I can't see hardly and water flowing through it whatsoever :/ shall I still just connect it up or just sack the water off?

 

[Cupman29]

Maybe need to use some banjo fittings.

 

[danh90]

I'm going to try a elbow fitting instead of a straight as that should work better

 

[Cupman29]

Do you have space to fit an elbow in. I thought on mine there wasn't enough room so decided to use banjo fittings.

 

[danh90]

Yeah should get one on I reckon. Could I use that banjo on just the one and keep the bsp bit on the other as ones alright it's just the one towards the bulkhead.

What parts will I need to do it using one of those banjo's mate?

Also where did you get your 1" to 1/2" reducing tee for the matrix pipes

 

[Cupman29]

You'll need a m14x1.5 banjo bolt and fitting but yeah, you could do 1 side only.

I made up the fitting from 2 1" fittings and a 1/2" into an equal tee. Ended up not using it because I got forge hoses an with aftermarket hoses the is a join just before the heater matrix that you can split and take a feed and return from.

 

[danh90]

Need to get my catch tank fitted now it had 2 pipes that were used as returns on my other engine could I just use one and cut down the other and fit a filter to it as it doesn't have one? Otherwise ill just buy one that does

 

[danh90]

On with a few bits today finished pics up later

 

[dmallett]

Nice use of a seat belt there lol

 

[danh90]

Thought that's what they were for

 

[imprezaworks]

flol at the seatbelt, proper pikey ha ha

 

[danh90]

How do you think I've been getting engines in and out I thought this was the correct Cs way

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol, if it works fair play.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Seat Belts are the industry standard for removing engines.

 

[danh90]

Due to me being a heavy handed b*****d today I've manage to snap the map sensor and the sensor connections off 2 injectors ...

Luckily I've got some spare injectors so fitted them but fuels pissing out of them so I'm guessing there shot!! Getting fed up now lol

 

[batesey]

got a ktec turbo map sensor forsale....

 

[danh90]

I've got a 2 bar one for my turbo just need to replace this standard one

 

[danh90]

Gotta freshen up!!

Had all the bits off this weekend and gave them a licking of vht paint then cooked in the oven at 250' nearly set the place alight left it for too long haha cured perfect though

Fitted my actuator tee and connected it upto that pipe off the fpr.
Fitted the new banjo on the water feed so it fits right and no kink in the pipe now.
Had the gearbox mount out and made sure I tightened it up fully this time so the knocking has now gone

Think that's about it for yesterday another few little bits done

Eibach camber bolts turned up other day just going to take them to the garage when they do my suspension.
Ally pipe has come aswell so going to get the sump done and fitted so no more leaking oil return.

 

[imprezaworks]

Looking good dude

 

[batesey]

deffo looks better, not 100% sure thats the best way to fit the boost pipes but it'll work fine

 

[danh90]

Which way would you of gone mate

 

[batesey]

This is my plan looks neater IMO

 

[imprezaworks]

That looks nice

 

[danh90]

That does look better.. whos cars that?

think im going to change to that route now

 

[batesey]

Found it on a video , its from an oversea clio, looks the best way to do it tbh

 

[danh90]

Yeah does look better tbh im going to leave it as is until mapped as just wanna get it finished can swap piping round after

 

[Laine_16v]

My routing is far from ideal (i compromised by keeping the battery in the engine bay), it's made no difference to power, and no difference to lag. If it fits then leave it

 

[danh90]

Just a quick one with me having the waste gate disconnected should the car feel any different or still the same as running NA

 

[Chip-mk1]

Just a quick one with me having the waste gate disconnected should the car feel any different or still the same as running NA

Should feel slower.

 

[danh90]

Ah right that's good then was going to say if it should feel quicker I've done something wrong lol
