Few engine related questions - Danaidh - 19-11-2015 I brought a 306 d turbo but the headgasket seems to be blown so I am going to rebuild it and tune it My questions are Where's the best place to get a full headgasket kit? Would the head need to be skimmed or should I get a recon head (maybe tuned head if such thing?)? Where do must people go or ask to get a gearbox mounted turbo setup? (Am going for a td04 turbo setup) Is there any guides to show me how to build a 11mm pump and fit it to engine that has a Lucas? How easy is it to convert a estate to disc brakes? Sorry for all the questions thanks in advance RE: Few engine related questions - Seb_Ryan - 19-11-2015 Head gasket kit either ebay or motor factors, youll want timing belt kit aswell. Head may need to be skimmed, depends if its warped or not, definitely take it to an engine place for pressure test and see if it needs to be skimmed. I wouldnt bother gearbox mounting a td04 as itll be very laggy tbf and can fit down the back anyway Search for the 11mm guide there is one about somewhere And youd need a disc rear beam and different handbrake cables and brake lines made up I think that covers it lol RE: Few engine related questions - bashbarnard - 19-11-2015 Yeah basically what he said. Most people who box mount turbos are because they are to big to fit down the back. Or they are show offs. RE: Few engine related questions - Danaidh - 19-11-2015 Am aiming for big power and figured a td04 was the way to go but I really don't want a lot of lag lol RE: Few engine related questions - bashbarnard - 19-11-2015 Then you want a vnt. RE: Few engine related questions - ashdturb - 19-11-2015 What td04 turbos do people use VW Saab scooby? and what size/adaptor plates to people use ? RE: Few engine related questions - Danny Wideboy - 19-11-2015 Scooby generally. Can make good power with one. A lot of fun. You really need to do a bit more searching of the forum archives, there are plenty of people who have done what you are intending. Myself included. I got all the information needed to do it myself from the forum, the knowledge is out there. A lot of pictures have been lost from the forum so that may hinder you slightly. But I'm sure administration are working their hearts out to get them back. Maybe. RE: Few engine related questions - Danaidh - 19-11-2015 Thanks everyone for the information, can't wait to get started the weather is hindering me at the moment and the fact I don't have a garage and doing this in a residents car park makes things slightly more harder lol RE: Few engine related questions - ashdturb - 19-11-2015 (19-11-2015, 07:28 PM)Danny Wideboy Wrote: Scooby generally. Can make good power with one. A lot of fun. Well I just bought one but guy won't post it. I was going to get the td04l think the front mounted turbo but my main question is there any adaptor plates for sale or if someone can make me one and what else I would need to fit it on or is it just the adaptor plate? RE: Few engine related questions - bashbarnard - 19-11-2015 cj knocked up a load of adaptor plates an age ago before i was really active on here. there a few knocking about but you will be lucky to find one. as far as i know there is no one currently making them so youll have to diy it RE: Few engine related questions - ashdturb - 19-11-2015 (19-11-2015, 07:59 PM)bashbarnard Wrote: cj knocked up a load of adaptor plates an age ago before i was really active on here. there a few knocking about but you will be lucky to find one. as far as i know there is no one currently making them so youll have to diy it Any ideas what would be needed ? Drilling or a plate making ? If I have to get a plate made I may get a couple made Re: RE: Few engine related questions - Seb_Ryan - 20-11-2015 (19-11-2015, 08:16 PM)ashdturb Wrote:(19-11-2015, 07:59 PM)bashbarnard Wrote: cj knocked up a load of adaptor plates an age ago before i was really active on here. there a few knocking about but you will be lucky to find one. as far as i know there is no one currently making them so youll have to diy it Need 2 plates iirc, one for manifold to turbo and one from turbo to exhaust elbow RE: Few engine related questions - zx_volcane - 20-11-2015 you can make plates up out of 6mm steel - offcuts from steel holders should be cheap enough Possible to lashup with a vice, drill, appropriate size holecutter, tap for threads, some bolts and a hacksaw. Better yet if you have a grinder and an air powered die grinder. laser cut plates will be expensive unless you're buying a bunch, and i can't see people being interested RE: Few engine related questions - 205dtub - 21-11-2015 Strap a more efficient blower on there anyway. A gt2052 or 2056s can be found for similar prices if you dig about. RE: Few engine related questions - ashdturb - 22-11-2015 Ive seen one of those for sale on Facebook but the bloke isn't back in the country until December. Also heard some have been know to blow head gaskets with the gt2052?

If you rag them to much it will lift the head. Ideally you want arps |
