[Misc_Work] 205 Derv

[Strictly_Derv 34]

We turned up the fueling, abit too much IMO also de filtered it and put a 'sport' back box on, so yeah it could probably just out drag a snail now.

[ginge191 10]

Hi, what are you doing to the engine to make it more powerful? (When still N/A )

 

Thanks

 

As strictlyderv said, the only things we could do was to up the fuel and allow a more free air intake, it's noticeably faster, but without adding a turbo, i think it's reached the NA limit.

MAY add a turbo on for some lols before dropping the 1.9 XUD lump in

[boldy205 75]

i see, so its the pump timing you altered?

[ginge191 10]

Not as such; the fuel pin we've adjusted; allowing more fuel, then adjusted the idle to compensate.

[Kezzer30 40 1 Cars]

Dyno it hahhaha let us know what ut gets lmao

[Strictly_Derv 34]

It won't be more than 70bhp. We may get some more with some advance and a gov mod (raised rev limiter to those who don't know).

I could hit 80bhp at a push I reckon.

[ginge191 10]

But for the effort and time it would take, it makes sense to just start building an XUD9 block and drop that in

[Strictly_Derv 34]

Best get hunting. I've got 2 now .

Small update;

 

Picked up some new cylinders for the rear drums and got some new brake lines made up by KrisB - for anyone that doesnt know him - http://www.krisb.co.uk/ HIGHLY recommended for any work, does a lot of work on nearly every other french forum, sure he's around here somewhere, if not, highly recommended - used him for the last 3 years? or so on jobs which i cant be bothered to do... enough ranting about how useful he is...

 

Going to hopefully get the beam changed over next week when i;ve got some time off work..

[ginge191 10]

Max and myself managed to get the rear beam changed; quite a long day, seeing as we had the wrong cylinders for the drums, so another trip to Krisb to get them swapped (legend as he is..) with some interesting results on the old beam - f***ed is an understatement.

 

But all is well, all went without too many hickups which is nice

 

Old beam out in about 30minutes, massive difference with 2 people working on it

 

 

 

Issue 1 - seized dampers

 

 

Issue 2 - servicebox calls it a "PLUG TOWBALL" ? The rubber between the trailing arm and the bearing i believe?

 

Anyway, Good beam:

 

f***ed beam

 

Issue 3 - f***ed mounts

 

And finally the replacement beam going on

 

Overall, bearing whine has gone what i initially thought was the front (bonus) and handles, sits adn generally feels much safer. Pumped up the originial cambered and rubbing tyre as it was at 3psi :doh:

 

Oh and finally, a sticker i found on my car from Max - troll gotta be trolling..

 

[welshpug 1,657]

That's not a good beam, that's just a beam not showing any external signs of wear

 

The other beam is like fatty's leg !

[Strictly_Derv 34]

The bearings had seized solid in the old beam (not the dampers). Shocking

Good progress that day, things went fairly well apart from my very bruised and scratched arm from having the beam drop on it and trapping it

My last words "hold on max...max... hold on...." *bang...* great; working with a noob

[ginge191 10]

Small update; got my front 'driving lights' sorted out the other day, an absoloute PITA; the car had a cracked bumper and had been replaced by a garage by the previous owner, whoever wired this up made an absoloute hash job, so we had to make an entire new, seperate loom and swtich for them... all in all, happy with them now.

 

 

 

The plan now for this; got hold of a XUD9 DHY block from a local dealership i used to live near, this needs a nw mechanical bosch fitted, so i'll do the cambelt at the same time. Going to run whatever turbo is on there to start and then (with strictlyderv) get working on a VNT setup. Keeping this fairly on the hush, but we've got about 2 or 3 ideas between us on manually controlling this.. but yeh... hopefullly we should both have something up and running soon

[FireFly 4]

Good to see a lot of love going into this Gingle.

[ginge191 10]

Trent, that you?!

 

 

Anyway, to keep this updated on this forum; obtained a new turbo: TD25 VNT, lovely little VNT. nuf chat, more pics!

 

 

 

 

 

 

also managed to win an engine on ebay - found an engine locally, watched it for 5 days, and won it at a bargain price - engine comes with turbo, ancillaries, gearbox, shafts, and hubs, EVERYTHING, most of it wont be used, but ya'know, it gets chucked it

 

picking that up on saturday (9th Feb), MIGHT have it all fitted in my tuesday (12th Feb) but won't have the VNT rigged up, or a decent fuel pump, but nonetheless, will have BOOOST!

Got a lot of work done today. Cleared out the garage with max, got rid of a load of scrap, £9 metal, £7 alloy wheel, and £10 to some lads at the car yard for the spare wheels.




Then set about clocking the turbo.

TD25 - T2 - K14



Vanes




More vanes



All vanes move freely, all intact, had a small issue with the turning of the turbines, very rough and felt seized. WD40 down the oil drain and after an hour of soaking and moving it was all free again.


Intact compressor




Also managed to make up an oil line which was amazing, and also found a spare manifold to use. Just need an adapter plate/new threads. Not got that far yet, but progress nonetheless!

[FireFly 4]

Yes mate it is I!

This looks like its progressing very quickly!

Road trip to yours - convert yours to 1.9, convert mine to BE3 gearbox and fit bosch.

Job done!

[ginge191 10]

So, havn't updated over here in a while.

 

So couldn't be arsed making a photo album of an engine change, so downloaded a quick stop motion app, here are the results with the obligatory "hi look at me in my engine bay" picture.

Fairly single handed this job, with the odd hour help from max, as well as spare engines, gearbox's and odds around the garage after s*it wouldn't budge!!! :dodgy:

So as the car stands - the car is in, fuel and basic wiring to get it running - ran out of time yesterday, didn't get it turning over quite - a sat engine just didn't want to breathe

Will have another day tinkering soon to get this on the road, it's getting fuel etc, just a dry ass engine took a while to turn over - ended up killling the battery, so charging this up then back onto getting it living.


As usual - encountered numerous problems on the way, hence the engine coming out UNDER the car :doh: but nonetheless, new engine is in, on two mounts.


Just done - plumbing, bit of wiring, both drishafts (recond'), all engine mounts

 

left to do - suspension, new brakes, hubs and wheels to put on then on the road!

[allye 530 3 Cars]

cool videos mate! What was the problem taking it out the top?

thanks mate; the O/S driveshaft was seized. The 2 X 11mm locking pins were out, then the lower mount bracket, then a big hammer; nothing.

 

So once the engine was out, a sledge hammer to it, took a good 10-15 swings before it budged. as it came out, diff spat everywhere. It had always been troublesome whilst driving it; whirring speedo, shaking car etc.

 

2 new driveshafts on anywho; well, 2 refurb'd shafts

[dcc 855]

hehe I had this problem with a 306 recently. I ended up tilting the engine and taking the box and shaft off while in situ.

yeh this was plan B; but we managed to just drag it from underneath. Not the most dignified of exits, but still..

Whats it matter.

 

Should be a beast now!

 

Even with just the Lucas & K14 on an extremely mild stage 1 I'm having plenty of fun!

[ginge191 10]

Thanks mate

 

11mm Bosch on a T2 for now, VNT should be on in the next month or so I hope.

 

Fingers crossed for tomorrow I can get this on the road!
