306 TUD5 Turbo Project. - Yes, TUD5 in a 306!!!

[Niall]

1.6 hdi after the tud blows up

This.

Also just reenforcing the point that it will be when and not if the TUD blows up!

[Dum-Dum]

The tu boxs are like cheese. Saying that ive blown up a be box and never a tu

Yeah likewise, never had a problem with a TU box but have stripped 5th out of a few BE's

not very, there's a good reason why they used a tu-be4 in the xsara picasso and later 307's and the vans.

That's what I'm after for this, BE3R / BE4R HDi box partly for the improved ratios but mainly for the strength.

That's the first TUD5 i've ever seen not running a Bosch...

Mint idea for a project too

That's the first TUD5 i've ever seen not running a Bosch...

99% of them have lucas, its only the late ones with an ecu of sorts and egr etc that are bosch

[Dum-Dum]

Just been online and ordered 400mm of 16mm silicone for the power steering resovior and 300mm of 19mm silicone to do the water pipe at the back of the block so I can get the starter motor back on and do the lower rad hose. Both hoses came in at under £9 delivered, happy days.

Mine is a later car with EGR but not late enough. Thought some of the incredibly early ones had Bosch too. I've got a 9mm 306 Bosch pump waiting.

the 1500 106 i had had a bosch pump on it i used to run veg and all sorts of thinners through it

[Dum-Dum]

So got some more done today and she's nearer being roadworthy.

Biggest job was getting the water pipe at the back of the block fitted with all it's heat shields and stuff as it was just impossible to see any of the bolt holes from either above or below.
   


Got loads of bits of piping and wiring done, Rad and FMIC on, new bolts glued into the bumper, starter fitted (ballache as I sheared the bolt for the main terminal so ended up welding the wire on) and some oil and water in it.

Still needs some of the bolts underneath tightening up and wheels put back on it then heater matrix hoses adapted and knocking up an exhaust. Not too much really.

Nice bonnet by the way

"ballache as I sheared the bolt for the main terminal so ended up welding the wire on"

And it begins

What else do you expect me to do? New starters aren't cheap.

[procta]

buy one from the scrappy dum dum!

[Piggy]

Woh! I missed that!

Nothing like welding/extreme cooking your starter solenoid dumdum

They are like a tenner second hand!!!

[Poodle]

Does it still work? Genuinely intrigued lol, although that's still a chronic fail.

[Niall]

Chris I've got a huge box here of boost piping, all 2" and 2.25". Few silicone joints and mostly ally pipe work. You can have it for free if you want it. I just want it all out of the way.

Also, you f*cking pikey with the starter but i suppose theres no reason why not lol

[bashbarnard]

If you need any other pipes i may also have some bits lying about. I need to go up in loft though. Just want to see this moving.

Win!

Well after fitting it I bridged it briefly with a spanner and it thumped like it was going to spin but I didn't fully test as I didn't want it starting.

I'd love you long time for that especially the 2" bits. Trying to do it all in 2" without having to go to 2.25". Ace this month? I don't know what I'm working yet.


Also that was my opinion, it's f*cked anyway, I'll see if I can make it work again till I can get a decent one.

What you got and what sizes, 2" is a preference.

[Niall]

Yeah man just text me the day before Ace and ill get it all sorted for you

[Dum-Dum]

Will do, cheers babe x

[bashbarnard]

Think mine are 2.25 ill have a measure of whats on my car. Genuinely have no idea what ive got stored in loft.

[Matt]

f*cking lol at welding the wire! Epic bodge

And lol at the bonnet, your car looks like a hipster aha

[Ruan]

Aren't the posts copper?

I wasn't aware copper was massively suitable for welding, I'll admit.

[welshpug]

copper coated steel

[Dum-Dum]

So as she stands, just needs water pipes and an exhaust

   

[C2K]

I bet your neighbours love you.

[highwayman306]

FFS! I wanna see this moving/smoking 'bout

This is either going to be epic or disaster...I hope epic

[Dum-Dum]

I bet your neighbours love you.

TBH I have no problems, I'm not really overlooked where I am and theres lots of trees and that about to shield noise.

or epic disaster lol



So water is all piped up and bled up with no leaks thank f*ck. Had to use a bit of copper pipe as a joiner but that's not the end of the world.

Gave it a whirl at starting once she was back on the ground and didn't even get the click of death from the starter. When I bridge the terminals on the starter I'm getting a good thump but it's not spinning so that'll need replacing when I get paid.

Think all the wiring is different even though the loom plugs in fine with not even getting the click of death, the coolant gauge being all the way at the top and having just 0.60v at the stop solenoid.

Oh and I still need to sort the exhaust out lol.

I'm at the point of wanting to smash the f*ck out of it with a hammer and call the scrap boys to come and pick it up so I'm gonna have a break and if I need to drive I'll tax the rallye.

   
   
   

[Piggy]

So close bud. Dont give up!

Need any exhaust bits??

[Poodle]

Didn't think you'd done anything to the wiring, just plugged it in and hoped it worked..? No real surprise that it hasn't, they're completely different cars, you give in too easy.

Have you got all the wiring diagrams for both?
