darrenjlobb's Project M-TDI Twin Turbo Supercharged Derv Bus

[darrenjlobb]

Sadly things have been going a bit bad just recently, which has removed the chance of being able to bring it along to FCS, although ive been thinking this could be the case for a while now

Have been waiting for a part for a while now and sadly the guy who was making it has got mechanical issues with his lathe, so is unable to complete it for me, which has left me with no time to sort anything out in time now, not helped by the stupid insurance problem which is still an ongoing saga as of the moment.

Due to not being able to get the car up and running / ive been working on silly little things, so got the cooling system piped up as far as I could without the front end on, mounted the accuators on the VNT, and big turbo, and also made my homemade boost bypass valve, doesn't look like much, but surprising what time it takes welding up little brackets / stripping actuators to reverse spring movement etc...

VNT Can: (ignore solid oil line as have now replaced with homebrew flexis) (this was a bit of a tight sqeeze!)





Wastegate on the big blower (clears clutch arm by 2mm, altho have since moved it due to pipe route issue):



And the bypass valve, its made from a petrol throttle body which i modified to close fully, welded up some brackets to hold a boost can, then welded wastegate lever to the butterfly shaft,and reversed the spring inside the boost can, hey presto:





And a bit of a mock up of how im going to sqeeze the sequential setup in the bay, hence having to re clock the blower:
