Project Geordie Blaze D-Turbo
#1
Well after turning to the Dark side, going from petrol to derv I got myself a 206
(Don't hate I got it for a steal)
It was a 1.4 HDi.
Cheap as chips to run, went to London and back on a full tank and only cost £30 a year to tax.
However the diesel tuning got to me, managed to get it to 120bhp which is almost double stock power, but I was getting limited on the injectors, so I left it at that.

Sold the 206, bought a 306 Dturbo
Instantly I cloud see the potential due to not having to get around an ECU all the time, so was a win there.

After doing some research on the engines that come in these, had a look at the turbo and found out it was a T2 so was a win there, and was already Bosched for me.

The car was a right state when I got it home in the daylight, but I only paid £300 for the hole car, and that was with 12 months MOT and 6 months tax, couldn't complain really.

Had a quick glance underneath the car to see if there was any rust, and not one bit. Cleanest under body of a car I've seen.

Things to do!
  • Fix the dreadful idle FIXED
  • Frount Mounted Intercooler DONE
  • Disc rear beam DONE
  • Put some Dturbo calipers on for now DONE
  • GTi-6 Calipers, pads, discs and Master Cylinder Done
  • More boost DONE
  • New hockey sticks DONE
  • General tidy up.
  • TD04 Bought, just not put on yet, need some time off work lol

Wheel bearing failed on me, half way on my journey to Wolverhampton to pick a disc ream beam up from Chris.
Broke a 1/2" power bar and blew up 2 sockets trying to get the bloody hub nut off, had to revert to a heavy duty impact driver.

Bearing fell to bits straight away, new bearing is in. Just got to find the motivation to put things back together now.

Still need to bleed the brakes up yet due to changing the rear beam.

And yes I still need to get some pictures up Blush
