Not a lot to show recently but I will get this up to date ( especially after deleting all my pics on phone :unsure: ). With the rad lowered I had planned on using a Range Rover P38 oil cooler for the chargecooler pre-rad. It fits in the space perfectly but I am quite aware that its far to small once I start tuning the engine.

I have also tried fitting a 2wd cosworth intercooler in the gap but the engine is just to close to use it. I am considering turning the intercooler into a rad as it has a much larger capacity than the oil cooler but I will explore other options first.

 

Other little jobs I have been up to are - repairing sheared bonnet hinges, Fitting bonnet pins as the bonnet pin gets in the way, Bonding arches back on, Raising the front bumper by 10mm to keep the gap under the lights as small as poss. Oh and testing my top secret bumper restorer

after many frustrating nights trying to reset passwords and find my user name ive decided to register a new account.

 

anyway did this conversion actually get anywhere?

 

i'm on doing a hdi conversion in my 205 gti and have a total different aproach to this. it's a lot easier and more straight forward than what this project makes it out to be.

Yeah the engine is in an runs smooth as owt, when driven (on a private road) it feels quick even for 90hp. I'm just sorting rear brakes, fuel tank and lift pump. Personal issues have severely delayed the MOT date but I'm getting back into it now.

 

Any details on your conversion?

 

Its not meant to make it look complicated, more detailed in case anyone else wants to do it.

Hi Uberderv,

Just come accross your thread.Great mate.

Really interested in Diesel performance tuning myself.Have you still got plans to do anything performance tuning related with it.?

 

I did quite alot of work some years ago playing around with injecting different chemicals like propane and toluene into turbo diesel's, with some astonishing results in torque.Allways wanted to try nitrous in a diesel engine but havent got round to it yet.

 

Anyway's totaly great project mate.

All the very best

O.T.

Is this on the road yet?

Could be a good end use for my 406, never liked it anyway.

Hi Opticaltrigger,

 

Sorry for the mega long delay in replying and thanks for the positive comments.

 

Water injection pre turbo has always interested me but i've never really experimented with chemicals except for 2-EHN and Acetone in my 406 which runs on waste vegetable oil. When I eventually get in on the road i would like to experiment with fuel pumps and different injectors plus a VNT turbo setup.

 

Piglet14-

 

Unfortunatley it is not on the road yet, when I posted last we had to move house again which put the car on the bottom of the to do list. I have been collecting parts to get it finished but at the minute its in the back under a cover as I discovered the sunroof had leaked allowing about 2" of water to settle in the drivers footwell.

 

 

To get the car up to date-

 

I decided that the chargecooler idea although good was not going to be good enough due to the pre rad being too small. After much searching i settled on intercooling it. First I bought the intercooler fitted to a Cosworth, this fitted in the gap above the radiator but I felt there was too much space either side which could be better used.

After a fair bit of research I found the intercooler off a BMW was perfect, it had the inlet/outlet pointing straight out and compleltey fills the void from the lowered radiator.

So once this was purchased I had to make new boost pipes in 54mm stainless. It was clear from the mock ups that the original fuel filter was going to be in the way so off it came with its mounting bracket.

With the new intercooler fitted and the boost pipes finished I re positioned the airfilter and the TPS. The TPS required me to make the cable shorter which was done by making a mold from wood, cutting the cable to length then making a new blob on the end out of solder.

Not a very good pic but the blob on the end of the cable sits inside the TPS at about 6 O'clock on the pic. The new shorter cable allowed me to fit the TPS behind the drivers headlight on a bracket.

Here is a pic of the engine bay which I took the other day, I still need to sort the fuel filter out but that can wait as I am fitting new fuel lines from tank to filter. You can also see the new location for the TPS.

I have also fitted 266mm brakes, 15" speedlines which makes the car look alot better than the 14" version.

Things left to do are-

 

Fit drivers belt.

Fit GTI fuel tank.

Fit 10mm Nylon fuel lines.

Fit a 406 HDI fuel pump in the original housing.

Sort the interior out as its been damp in there for quite a while.

Nicely done, is the MAF just under the header tank?

Yeah the pipework is 3" at that point so fits nicely. I am a bit concerned about it being so close to the exhaust with heat etc... But if it turns out to be a prob I'll move it closer to the filter.
