The MOT tester is gonna get a surprise when he starts it

Smoke test only mate!

He'll also have I wait for the glowplug light to go out before its starts

[THE_Liam]

Does it have one?

[MissTap_GTI6]

Nope...

[Rich306]

I'd pop a set of Diesel clocks in it then

[Pompey306mark]

I have a set of phase one diesel clocks with metal monkey dials. But I think you will need phase 2 clocks.

[ginge191]

It doesnt NEED diesel clocks at all - all the dials work besides the rev gauge, which on a derv is IMO pointless

As for a glowplug light, it's not particularly essential, im sure most are aware of how long the glowplug relay is live for, anywho, if it's really needed, i can wire in an LED if needed

[darrenjlobb]

Glow plug light can just be wired into a spare light on the cluster, plenty of them...

Wanting to keep the 'Gti 6' feel then buddy?! hehe

[MissTap_GTI6]

Yeah right! Gotta keep her perdy!

[Piggy]

the glow plug blank IS there on the petrol clocks...just put a bulb/holder in the blank.

It worked on the ph3 petrol clocks on mine for a few test runs anyway

You saved the day, you really did, Thank you so much!

K14 and Max's previous 9mm Bosch on there

[4WayDiablo]

Sweet. Take it you have given it a tune?

[MissTap_GTI6]

Sweet. Take it you have given it a tune?

No, it's not on the road yet! Almost Prambs, almost!

[Poodle]

For anyone reading, who may be wondering: yes, you do have to declare the engine change and get it all orted before you can get it through an MOT.

[td_dan]

Not a problem would rather it all went to a good cause be good to see it on the road

[4WayDiablo]

[strictly_perv]

Turn that pump down if anything! It's set up for 170bhp!
I'm running the second pump which I had on the 205, when it got dynoed at 190bhp, plus the wastegates not been touched yet, chronic coal haha.
Be good to see the ol' tapper running again.g

[ginge191]

still needs retarding slightly i feel; quite smokey on idle.

Will have a play around tomorrow.

[ginge191]

small update; weather has been CRAP so been stuck in the confinement of the garage; not wide enough to get a jack under and get on with any under work (exhaust, arches, bumper) so got on with what we could.
Sorted out the glowplug relay after having issues with getting the relay power and then not holding the 12v. Anywho, sorted it, NOT bodged


managed to get slam panel, rad, hoses and fans on;




Had to get to the scrappy and get an intercooler to use and a top rad hose; to cut a long story short, the car NEEDS to be on the road asap, with the 406 inlet manifold, i can't fit a standard TMIC as manifold change requires the K14 to be removed/pulled off etc.. havn't the time to do this, so a quick intercooler setup was required.
It's not fantastic but should do the job. SMIC FTW!

[4WayDiablo]

Interesting setup haha
I should imagine it would be better than a TMIC but not as good as a FMIC.
Good work though!

pretty much; we have no liner for a TMIC, plus it hasn't the burden of engine heat rising through it like a TMIC; in theory, it should be alright, plenty of space to radiate heat, with at least some air flow to it.
It's not to cool anything huge for now, so should suffice!
