Thread: DeeC’s 306 VNT Turbo Build / Show Car Project
Post: RE: DeeC’s 306 VNT Turbo Build / Show Car Project
| Give it a spin back and forth, it'll turn the alternator one direction, but spin freely and not spin the core in the other, if you struggle to turn it back and forth due to the weight of the assembly,... |

Thread: Reducing Smoke?
Post: RE: Reducing Smoke?
| If it's smoking when the turbo is spooling and there's no air leaks, it can be calibrated out, response will be moderately affected, but shouldn't be too much. If it's smoking once the engine is up to... |

Thread: DeeC’s 306 VNT Turbo Build / Show Car Project
Post: RE: DeeC’s 306 VNT Turbo Build / Show Car Project
| The offset and size of the GTI6 pulleys is different to the HDi, you'll find that the power steering pump is also different between the GTi6 and the HDi, it's because the maximum engine speed of the H... |

Thread: DeeC’s 306 VNT Turbo Build / Show Car Project
Post: RE: DeeC’s 306 VNT Turbo Build / Project
| Looking good! Be careful opening up ports on HDi cylinder heads, they're very sensitive to changes in the port as to the airspeed and thus swirl they generate, they flow pretty well as it is and you'r... |

Thread: HDi Cuts Out
Post: RE: HDi Cuts Out
| Worn HP pump, injectors, LP pump or shit map. Could be any of them.
The brutal cut out is simply is detecting Rail pressure too low and assuming a leak and cutting. |

Thread: Clutch comes and goes
Post: RE: Clutch comes and goes

Thread: HDI Not Starting - Back Again!!
Post: RE: HDI Not Starting

Post: RE: Tracking Issue GTi6
| Because of induced camber due to castor - go look at the angle of the strut of any car and I'll bet you any money it's not exactly vertical. Thus when you turn the wheel, the camber is affected. |
