Paul's estate mk2 - air intake on

[Paul_13]

They're not a straight fit! Had to bend a lot of metal out the way probably took half hour

Got them 2nd hand but lynx engineering (rich w) sells the kit.

I've just replaced the rear beam mounts to solid items as well

Watching with interest regarding the turbo change. Been thinking about it myself, maybe once the 205 is sorted....

Don't suppose there is any news on the GTi6 bars and XUDT crank?

[Paul_13]

Gti6 bars are out

I need to pop to Ryan's to get the engine crane so I'll grab the crank while I'm there

Good to see that you're planning your retirement projects already...

Very much appreciated Paul!

Very funny beatnik......the idea is there, that's the first step!

Too many ideas and not enough implementation of said ideas!

[Paul_13]

Desperate to get working on this turbo!
going to chat with Ryan later see if he can make me a plate

[Paul_13]

Got the plate off Rryan Cheers for that bud. Should be nice and easy to make this up after looking at it

[Paul_13]

I've got everything apart from the air intake sorted which is worrying me http://306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?...20&page=10 same prob as Dr jekyll etc.

Other option is like what is shown on there and bring it up between the cambelt and bulkhead but I ideally want to retain the standard air box...

I'm going to do a bit of research and see what the 307 air intake is like for the rfh4

If not modify the 406 one I've got.

Do people just link the pipes on the egr warmer/cooler directly behind the rocker cover? I'll be doubt away with the whole egr system

Hmm

[Paul_13]

Another option shamelessly stolen from uberderv

[Poodle]

That's a beautiful bit of pipe and a brilliant idea.

[Paul_13]

If you've removed all the egr stuff, you should be able to move the air intake out slightly more to miss the egr port on the 307 hdi mani. Looks like there's enough space

[Uberderv]

What about cutting the egr port off and welding it for more space?

[Paul_13]

Was thinking of doing that to be honest, not too confident welding cast if I'm honest

[Uberderv]

Or using oval pipe for the upper section which goes into a 180 degree silicone reducer. Can't help on the welding other than you'd have to use a pack of dissimilar metal rods and try and preheat/controlled cool down. Seen it done before with good results.

Started work on the manifold

Pikey!

Got one of the manifold studs out, one snapped and I gave up as I lost daylight

Is that a bag rust by your foot?

[Ruan]

It's a Ford isn't it?

[Paul_13]

my previous cars all rolled into one

[powerandtorque]

I'm not sure your cars generally last long enough to get to the point of rusting...

[Paul_13]

Oi....

I've owned your old car for nearly 3 years I think now.

My silver gti was the longest standing that was 6/7 years I think

Scary thing is, I've owned a 205 for over 10 years now. Got my first one at 16 and I'm 27, had a brief break in between

[Paul_13]

Just seeing what angle I need to clock the turbo, nice and easy to clock these!

I'm guessing on a hdi its a banjo bolt on the oil feed? I'm going to whip the union connector out of the gt20, hopefully from what bash said it should fit. I'm planning on putting the oil feed at the same angle as the hdi turbo so I can literally just put the hdi oil feed on. Same with the oil return if the flanges are the same

What spec Bilstein?

[Paul_13]

Group n 205

[dr_jekyll]

You wally! If you asked if send you a card template for the adapter! Mine matches up beautifully!

As for intke thats best ive got atm. Seen the other you posted from ubederv, looks epic but found a few clearance issues with the brake servo when looking closer. Will tell you next week how i get on as its d-day for the turbo fitting

[Paul_13]

Mines a different bolt pattern to yours unfortunately

Yeah if you could, I'll buy your other 306 hdi air intake pipe you if you get out of in one piece

[Paul_13]

New plate is here
I'll get round to doing it tonight if I get time
