Can buy kits for very little, or if you just want to get it done now, cut end of glow plug and weld an adaptor you never use onto it Smile


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - zx_volcane - 18-11-2014

I've got a comp tester you can borrow if you want


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 18-11-2014

Ah cool ok tom. May take you up on that anyways at some point just out of curiousity. What does it fit to, injector or glowie?

The way it drives and runs I really cant see a compression issue. Its just lacking fuel for some reason.
Also got a slight leak on the exhaust relocation pipe gasket so that needs sorting.

I rekon I must have a kink or blockage in the fuel line somewhere

Has adaptors for both, but I go for glow plug holes as is less faff to do.


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 18-11-2014

Yarp. Will keep in mind. Thanks Smile

second half of the video goes live tomorrow! (Saturday!) Inc first start and drive Smile


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 22-11-2014

and she runs....





RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Poodle - 23-11-2014

Niiiiiice, sounds smooth. Any hiccups yet?


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 23-11-2014

Runs well. Pulled trailer for 4hours yesterday no issues.

She has a fuel issue though, kinked fuel line or similar as it is lacking low down for sure but is boosting but not even hazing.

But to be honest thats fine for now!! Haha

(got lots onthe 206 to do then I will give her some love again. Needs lots of little things doing


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Niall - 23-11-2014

Well well done piggy. You now have the biggest thread on the forum, most of which is filled with you whinging Wink


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Toms306 - 23-11-2014

Niiiiiice! Glad it's all back together and sorted. Big Grin


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 23-11-2014

oh need a new exhuast gasket which is in post and to fit my EMP and EGT gauge...

then its time to hunt down 250bhp


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Toms306 - 23-11-2014

2000th post! Big Grin


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 23-11-2014

haha! Tom was too quick!! lol


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Toms306 - 23-11-2014

Is it sad that I've been waiting for someone to post since half 2? lol


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - procta - 23-11-2014

sounds and looks the part piggy! anymore tweaks to do? I haven't forgotten your pm either.


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 23-11-2014

yeah loads of tweaks of course!

Interior needs some love again for sure. Exterior can wait till spring.

New FMIC piping needed, current setup was a lash up 15k miles ago! New bigger air filter too.

May get a log manifold sorted soon too. Dark nights in the workshop!!

But first thing is sort the manifold gasket leak and sort the fueling as its a bit strangled at the minute.


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - ash23 - 23-11-2014

Looking good mate glad its going well Smile how long till you have a bigger turbo Tongue


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 23-11-2014

250bhp...dont think I need another turbo.

a LSD on the other hand!!


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - darrenjlobb - 23-11-2014

Looking good chap,

Really worth noting how clean / well kept everything looks on this build! Makes so much difference to working on a car / making progress when things are clean and tidy and put together properly...people often underestimate the time / effort it takes to maintain that, but you do, and it really shines through, engine looks immaculate! Keep pushing!!!!


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 23-11-2014

Thanks fella!

Managed to make a few things easier to work on with the head off. Wiring etc.
A log mani will make a huge difference to easy to work on things!!
Found two oil leaks which were causing a bit of annoyance, one cant fix as yet but working on a solution.

I would love to make a trip to yours once you have rollers going perhaps??


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Frosty - 24-11-2014

Good stuff mate, loving the videos though..... more videos of you dancing needed i think Smile


RE: 2.1GTd...head is nearly there ... - Piggy - 24-11-2014

[attachment=20278]

Now in winter mode!!

No splitter, little different suspension setup and winter hankook icepts!

Feels so comfy on '65s!!

Rerouted my fuel line and seem to have helped the fueling a bit but it needs some proper setup time spent on it again, so different with this head!
