Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo now with VNT

[Frosty]

Been pretty rubbish at updating this lately, but time for an update now. The car is back on the road a driving as of last Friday. Got the insurance swapped off with the 205 so thats off the road for a bit now.

Anyway I've been pretty rubbish with pics as well so i will put a few up though i haven't managed to take to many. The turbo down the back, as i previously said i cut some of the bulk head out to help with clearance and thought it would be a bit tidier than hitting it back with a hammer. Went a long a bit further than i needed to but no issue as i can see.





Not very clear in the pics but the heater matrix pipe than runs by the elbow was pretty close so i had Damo pop over with some copper pipe to help me reroute it slightly





Also sorted out the pipping for the EMP as you can see in the pic.



The engine bay doesn't look to much different that it did before apart from no battery there. I did have issues with the battery, basically it wasn't cranking over fast enough so altogether i ended up changing the starter motor for a HDi one, fitted a bigger battery (the biggest i could fit in the box in the boot) and changed the cable for some thicker stuff. I was using the same size that is fitted the the estate which is 25mm2 but now i got 50mm2 which is a fair bit bigger. Also changed the earths for the same size. Its still not seeming great especially when the engine is warmed up to start but will see how it goes. Fitted an extra earth to the battery and that may have made a difference.

While i was waiting for the it to go on the road i gave it a good clean and polish, doesn't come up too bad but there are so many marks etc on it now but that just comes with the age and mileage of the car i guess and ill have to live with it.





Thats about it, its pretty nice to drive and seems to pull ok so will get a few miles on it and see how its all going then
