Maybe if i sell it.....

Update time:

Well went to TVL on saturday, was on total vauxhall display but not on track due to radiator being to small but i will be on track at action day

Few Pictures from TVL








On Sunday i cracked up with changing my radiator because the standard 1.4 8v just wasn't up to the job anymore, shame worked great on the XE

Ordered a TX auto radiator awhile ago but I only received it on Friday night and I choice not to fit it as I didn't want to miss TVL!!

Few of the Rad:




Fan ties and Spares



And removing the old rad!



(You can see where I had a oil leak from the cooler )

Dirty



Little wipe off



Checking fitment of new rad After removing the lower "pins"




More soon....

Cheers

Update time again:

First off i gave the rad i good polish 50/50:



Fitted my 12" Fan with proper fan ties




New Genuine Fan switch



and all fitted






Since the engine build I sometimes get a small "puff" of blue smoke high up in the revs, I don't think its valve steams as these are new as is everything else on the engine! At TVL i got talking to steveboyslim and he advised me that sometimes the kkk16 turbos can suffer with excessive oil feed and said regal used to sell a restrictive banjo bolt which he now sells and happened to have one on him, so i thought i would give it ago as its the easiest option!

Standard oil feed vs modified feed





And fitted



Ill keep you posted how i get on

I then re routed the throttle cable




cheers

I didn't finish it till late, I have only bled the coolant - it used to get to 100c at idle if I left him running with the old rad and that was with heaters on, with the fan working mad! Last nice it got to 95c and the fan kept it there an that was with no heaters on, so it's cooling it more efficiently at idle, I'll let you know on Thursday as that's when I have time to drive him

Update time again

Right its been really busy weekend/week, I had him rolling roaded on Sunday but had a small mishap when the actuator bracket bolt snapped! it did a total of 6 runs at 15psi! He made 256 hp @ flywheel 224 hp @ the wheels and 256.8lbft at 33.2 C which was ****ing hot before the bracket bolt went but still managed 242.5 hp @ flywheel 210.7 hp @ the wheels 249.3 lbft after! I have since replaced the bolt which I had to drill and helicoil but its fixed now and I'm booked back in tomorrow night to have the boost turned up

How it started



Bumper off




onto the rollers looking evil






The Graphs, you can see the blue run is where the bolt snapped as the boost isn't as high and drops off!




The bolt



Back at home the next day Removing inlet housing ready for drilling





And its all back together ready for tomorrow, hopefully have more luck then
