[suj]

Sorry I meant more for reliability, from mates who have had them, maybe they just had duds

Bet you can't wait for it to be in, some more poke

 

[crezz]

yeh. Lots say they are not as good as the garretts but there must be a reason why vw went for them? Fast spool? Feck knows. . Yeh nice to have some go! Lol. . Fingers crossed it will be in 2moro.

 

[suj]

Well they do make blunders....did I hear someone say pedal box lol

But tbh if maintained right, will be fine
Get some pics up dude

 

[crezz]

again, there is plenty variety between the kkk turbo's. the porsche uses a kkk on some of there models.. as for pictures, havent had time to do anything as of yet, but onces its in and running, il pop up a pic, its not a spfiffing install like the ibiza's bay was, but it should be hokay

 

[suj]

well you can always tidy her up as you go along/in the future

PS get more lows, thank you please

 

[crezz]

will be sitting lower if i weld up my sump a little extra

well the new engine is physically in, just gota do all the other crap ect, had to do lots of unwanted changes, all in due corse tho

 

[suj]

Engine spacers? Can you get them for the older diesels?

 

[crezz]

no mate, the engine mounts would have to be cut and welded futher up, lets just get the thing running first! lol

 

[CraigW]

Cant wait to see the new engine in mate. .

Like Suj says, you will be able to tidy up the engine bay etc at a later date.

mikeh i need your diesel help, changed the fuel filter with the engine, filled it with juice also, but the pump dosent want to suck the juice down, any tips on getting the diesel up the lines? not even coming from the fuel filter yet,

cheers

Vacuum pump is the easiest way, they probably have on for bleeding brakes in the bike shop . Suck it up to the pump first then suck on the return line to suck it through the pump.

If you haven't got one of them then sometimes you can get them to pump by cracking off all the nuts on the injector lines at the pump end.

 

[crezz]

jeez that was quick,

i tried bleeding the injectors whilst cranking over but cant draw nothing through, i was going to try and find a priming bulb if not, how long should it take to come through?

 

[M1KEH]

Can take 5 minutes of cranking if it's being gay, if it's not going after that it's probably not going to self prime, problem is the pump is really crap at pumping air out of itself so can't self bleed very well.

A priming bulb would probably sort you out. I think some pug 1.9 dturbos came with them from the factory if your going stealing from a scrappy. Or i guess a boat shop will have one.

 

[crezz]

cheers budger! bloke that works in garage has my nans old 306 diesel, il rob that lol im excited and scared, i hope this engine is good

 

[M1KEH]

Just thought of another way that might help you, use a syringe or funnel to pour some fuel down the return line into the pump.

 

[crezz]

Wooooooooooooop

 

[M1KEH]

Sorted.

 

[crezz]

indeed, the problem was a mixture of two things but one reason, the fuel filter was the right type but wrong, it was the second one i had too, the arrow for out and return were opposite to the last one, so the no return valve was on the wrong line, lol..

fired but lots of air still in there

this was due to being the wrong filter again, the o ring was too small for the no return valve to sit on so was sucking in air there , took it out and made my own, jobs a good'n

i now have to start making my down pipe, got a 2" hole to cut out of 12mm of stainless to make my flange! :S that will take some time! lol

scrap bin of the local exhaust fitter for one off their scrap ?

 

[crezz]

its just a square flange with the whole, i have my old one but its cast so not the best to weld, and im going stainless
