RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - KrisCampbell - 26-03-2013

Bound to be easy enough to find one, scrappys or else eBay!


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 26-03-2013

yeah will do...

need some other bits anyway...totting up a list to get the lot


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 27-03-2013

bit of progress today...

head nearly all built up...very happy...apart from having to drop in at gsf for a valve stem seal as the dog chewed one up! 95p poorer!

you can see why the 2.1 has clearance issues with the bonnet...the head is so much taller than the 1.9 head

also nabbed myself 90L of veg oil cheap, a stealth shelf cheap and a GTi ARB, rear n/s arch liner, and the plastic boot trim edge thingy.

happy. Smile

PS hoping to do a final scrub and paint that head...just light coat of VHT silver to brighten it up


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 02-04-2013

No pics...but the sump is off to clean and paint and for the crank seal to go in....

It surprised me that it was a baffled sump!...proper job...is this true of the xud9te aswell...i dont remember it being baffled!? Im baffled :S

Got to work on me new seats...thanks to friends with a upholstery cleaner!...

The after photos dont do them justice tbh, flash makes weird shadows!

But they look great!
Just door cards to do....

Anyone suggest a relatively inexpensive leather cleaner/treatment??????

PgY Smile


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 03-04-2013

and not sure if its that clear but this is a pic of the roof lining...left side done...right side not done...left side was a lot worse mind...thankyou to the previous owner for shortening his life and his kids by smoking in the car!

[Image: 20130403_103821_zps7d89b977.jpg]

the resulting gunge...

[Image: 20130403_111810_zps0197fb73.jpg]

done the stealth shelf too...I didnt think it was dirty...but the water was filthy that came off it!!!


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - mr_fish - 03-04-2013

do you use like a wet vac/rug doctor? or good old fashioned elbow grease?


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 03-04-2013

no this was a mega carpet cleaner with little adapter to fit a small head.
awesome bit of kit. proper chemicals used too.
dont think anything else would have shifted the crud


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 12-04-2013

Update on the engine...been feeling right in the dumps, events, time of year, weather etc...so got up the motivation and did some work....happy too as it perked me up and stopped me being a right old grumpy git for a couple of hours....

so....removed sump, cleaned sump, painted sump. replaced crank shaft seal.
fitted the 1.9 flywheel after a clean and polish.
fitted nice new clutch.
replaced HDi box clutch fork arm etc with XUD ones...
replaced gearbox input shaft seal.

phew

fitted all box..

[Image: 20130412_155732_zps20e2e1fa.jpg]

cleaned up block top and pistons for the last time...

and timed it up and got the headgasket all ready
[Image: 20130412_161113_zps7c98e3da.jpg]

HEAD ON!

[Image: 20130412_163502_4_zps48e2bb84.jpg]

yeeha!

felt so good I thought I would start cleaning the bits yet to go on...
so the intake manifold...

[Image: 20130412_174909_zps1ce6e631.jpg]

hopefully you can tell that the left half is dirty but has been heavily washed, the right side has had the polishing started...2nd from right intake section just wired up, the far right section some serious buffing....

what do you think? I was just going to paint it, but I think it looks sweet....hopefully do some other parts to match

oh and stealth ftw

RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Mattcheese31 - 12-04-2013

RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - spike2002 - 13-04-2013

Looking nice and clean mate Smile I hope you have built that down stairs and not up or you are going to struggle getting it down hahaha


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 13-04-2013

all on ground floor now!

pump n polishing upstairs


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - ozonehostile - 13-04-2013

Wanna swap engines?

*looks at oil stained engine bay with disappointment*


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Kwik - 13-04-2013

word of warning for that type of stealth they resonate like a b@#*h that's why i went to a phase 1 job it pee'd me off lol.

But good job on the engine


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 13-04-2013

hmmm i was thinking that RE: stealth...have done couple things to help it i hope


thanks for comments....

making little victories as I go...done lots of metal polishing today!!


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Tallguy_2 - 13-04-2013

What chemical did you use to clean the upholstery out of intrest? How's the polishing going?

duno mate....was a friends kit...we swapped favors...he just left me with a bucket of powder for cleaning and a bucket of powder for odour

getting there!

I could go further, but most of the pieces you see there sit BEHIND the engine...I love in the inlet but again its mostly hidden unfortunately...the pump, cradle and other bits you cant see will be much more mirror polished

painted rocker cover on....beesknees...

RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - martyn92 - 17-04-2013

Where abouts are you mounting the bigger turbo? As from what ive read there isnt much room behind the engine with it being bigger ?


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 17-04-2013

Wink Wink Wink

....boot!!! lmao


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 18-04-2013

fly sensor drilled in...

[Image: 20130417_135301_zps51686870.jpg]

just gota hope its in the right place!

Inlet on...
[Image: 20130417_135316_zps52922214.jpg]

excited to get other shinies on now!

then wack on the belt, and do a test fit to see how much room there is/isnt and what needs bashing, sorry, adjusting to make fit!


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - ozonehostile - 18-04-2013

Oh yeah, I still need to take some pics for you. Will send asap Smile


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Jonny81191 - 18-04-2013

This is looking really good mate, coming to any shows this year?


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 18-04-2013

My target is FCS. Want to be all done by then. I want it all spot on so dont want to rush for the hillclimb and fooby something up

more polishing done today...takes FOREVER...but getting there...

next job is to strip and clean pump and then build the 11mm hybrid

Fit all the shinies and then trial fit it minus exhaust mani....the current one is completely useless...no idea why they even made it...


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 31-05-2013

cant believe how long its been since i last posted.
Mad mad month

been collecting some parts, clutch acbel, MBC, gauges, that sorta thing.

But actually DID something today...

[Image: 20130531_182010_zps068b390a.jpg]

11mm, gov mod, lda grind. all in 3.5 hours inc polishing. quite pleased with that.
Although, I am a bit stumped as to where to place my throttle arm on the splines....??

any thoughts?

Next plans:
clean up starter/alternator/PAS pump.
fit all the above and injection pump.
trial fit of engine

then:
clean up and clock turbo.
mock up turbo piping
clean/paint/weld engine bay
fit all the above...
then:
build up suspension/polybushing etc
fit all the interior
weld r/n/s inner arch.
paint and repair exterior.
fit rear beam and gti brakes
swap windscreens

done. simples ConfusedConfusedConfused

dont think FCS is going to happen Sad


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - ozonehostile - 31-05-2013

nice work on the pump dude, what you use on it?

thanks Smile
A lot of self! Wire wheel on drill, then on dremel, then 1000wetNdry, then metal polish. repeating each stage a couple times! takes too long. lol

oh, engine degreaser after wire wheels, using stiff brush to get to awkward bits


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Piggy - 04-06-2013

so managed some progress last night...
nice warm long evening at last to do some work on it

[Image: 20130603_171147_zps285eb581.jpg]
[Image: 20130603_171236_zps8e540bef.jpg]

Although didnt get as far as wanted as the sump took more "modifying" than I realised to mount the XUD aux setup.

[Image: 20130603_171212_zps21b33607.jpg]

cant really see it there, but theres a few chunks of alloy that had to come off....FYI when grinding a alloy sump, wear face protection, stuff gets everywhere! In fact, cover EVERYTHING!

got manifold EGR "blank" done...

[Image: 20130603_171219_zps52743a36.jpg]

welded, sealed, painted.


Hope to get the belt on tonight, all timed up.
then trial fitment! Smile


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - Mattcheese31 - 04-06-2013

good progress mate . . . . crack on . . Smile


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - mr_fish - 04-06-2013

a clean & tidy build. Will be interesting to see this fitted


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - ozonehostile - 04-06-2013

f*ck that's looking nice!


RE: XTDT to GTDT via a 2.1 - darrenjlobb - 04-06-2013

Fair play, nice effort, looks clean and tidy!
