was the better half away for the weekend for you to be able to sneak them though the dishwasher? Laughing

aniesigh · Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 9:40 pm Post subject:

better half is non existent, hence plenty of disposible time and money Laughing

dishwasher is in the tea room at work, and works closed weekends so snuck them through then,it stunk of diesel today mind! Rolling Eyes

what dishwasher tablet would you recommend Laughing

aniesigh · Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 9:57 pm Post subject:

take 4X Lidls special dishwasher tablets,
cram two in the tablet compartment,
rest the remaining two on the dirtiest calipers.
simmer for 90mins

return to find 6 lemon fresh spotless calipers, or in my case; 6 slightly cleaner calipers and a stinking filthy dishwasher,

cycle dishwasher appx 4 times on empty wash to attempt to cover your sins Twisted Evil

job done

What caliper paint have you used?

I used Halfrauds on mine and it dries matt Crying or Very sad

I had to put a top coat of clear on to get them to look half decent

my Calipers look nice and shiny Allan, was it spray you used? ( looks like it unless you got abit over excited with a brush and did the piston and rubber boot too Laughing

)

sorry Ben intercooler is all mine Very Happy

but i am after a turbo though, don't suppose you have any big turbos kicking around at your work looking for a new home? Razz

and yea Nivaman, dishwasher still stinks now! oh well aslong as my calipers are clean Cool

Work has one from a Vaxhaull Movano/Renult Traffic.

We had a 4cyl Iveco Cargo 75E17 engine with we scrapped with a one of which would have been ideal Sad

Although might have been to much.

I don't know what the Movano engines are prob about 2.5? Might be the same PSI as the 'trak one though. Did you think about welding the wastegate shut on the Daihatsu one, or is 16psi not enough or worried about the turbo failing?

aniesigh · Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 8:58 pm Post subject:

yeah i want to get about 15-16psi but not have to worry about the turbo failing, and at a slightly lower rpm so i'm thinking something from a 7.5ton truck or something would be ideal, just had a look on ebay and looks like there a 2.2 and 2,5 movano's but don't know what the pressures would be like compared to the 'trak

Stal1878 · Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:08 pm Post subject:

Ah right. I'll let you know if we get any smaller turbos in, they are reasonably sort after though, might be worth going to a breakers yard and just seeing what they have got about. Obviously the bigger you got the more lag your going to get.

Saying that, might be worth looking into consequential(???) setup? If you wanted low rev boost could you not bolt a smaller turbo with a quicker spool-up before the Daihatsu one?

Edit: If you go for a 7.5t turbo I would recommend the Iveco 75E series, they bloody fly if there not restricted! Also they use Garrett turbos, which are you know are good.

Stal1878 · Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:14 pm Post subject:

Just had a quick look on ebay, like I said the turbos are sort after so a bit pricey, but this one has a low start and you might get lucky.

funnily enough i'm looking at a turbo from a 75e17 looks just the kiddy!, yeah don't want to go too big but think something like that could work well, also thought about a VNT turbo from an VAG group car but they seem to fetch £££, as it will be a bit of a project i dont want to spend mega money incase it doesnt work out, shame you scrapped that engine really! only scrappy near me is still 40min drive and not sure if they'll have much commercial stuff there, if you could keep an eye out that would be spot on mate Smile

EDIT yeah thats the one i'm watching on ebay, never know what it might go for eh Cool

We bought a Iveco 75E15 chassis cab to sell on, couldn't get anyone interested in it. Didn't have the time or space to make a beaver-tail out of it. Cut it up for scrap, kept the axles, engine, gearbox and cab. Kept it all for 2 years and sold the rear axle. Another year later we scrapped the engine and cab, still got the front axle pushed under the bench and the gearbox is set to go on the next run. If you asked anyone if it was all worth keeping they would tell you you'd be a fool to get rid of it..... Just the way it goes though Smile

Speaking about Iveco turbos, I spoke to a guy today who lorries we are about to start doing, he cut up a 75e15 or 17 recently and has the engine and box. I'll ask him when I see him again is the turbo is for sale separately.

yeah its weird how things go! well yeah if you hear of anything let me know,
i wonder if fitting a turbo from a modern diesel which will run at higher pressures would be a way to go? i read earlier 1.9cdti vectra's boost at 21psi Shocked

, which i would have thought would mean it should make the 16 ish psi i want pretty quickly and at fairly low RPM especially as the 2.8 would have more gasses flowing through it, but not sure if it would handle the amount of exhaust gasses at full chat? anyone an expert on turbos/diesel tuning??

Stal1878 · Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 10:24 pm Post subject:

Yea like you say with it being a bigger engine it might not agree with the turbo once its up to RPM.

I got the numbers off the van turbo we have a at if you want to find out if its enough for you.

aniesigh · Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 7:04 pm Post subject:

oh ideal what are they?

Stal1878 · Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 7:09 pm Post subject:

Garrett
M54
A/R53
GT 1752H
99466793
454061
454361-10
BE01007401

Its actually nearly brand new, it went and we put it on, then 2 weeks later the cambelt broke when he was going down the motorway and he scraped the van. The casting still looks "new" if you get what I mean, no oil in the pipes.

aniesigh · Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 7:18 pm Post subject:

hmm its from a 2.8, not sure how much of an upgrade it would be, what sort of money do you want for it? i did have a garrett GT2252v from a 3.0l X5 lined up from a mate but he can't find it Sad

Stal1878 · Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 7:26 pm Post subject:

I don't know what its worth, so don't feel like I'm trying to rip you off or anything.

I asked my boss and he said £100 for it.

Shame he can't find the 3ltr one, how can you lose a turbo? Laughing

Like you say don't know how much of an upgrade my/works turbo would be, unless you bolt it behind the Daihatsu one? Smile

just had a little look into it, price seems fairly good for a nearly new turbo as you say i'm just worried about size,
the 2.7 terrano's , and 2.5 discoverys use a gt2052 turbo which is bigger than the one you have so i'm thinking it probably won't be up to it Confused

as the fourtrak is a bigger motor

have to make my mate look harder for the X5 one, it needs a rebuild but the parts are only ~£50 , its the next size up from the 2052 which discoverys etc use so should be a nice size

Mates dad has a terrano, he reckons its absolutely flies.

funnily enough two of my mates have terrano's, one flies the other is sluggish, he was gutted when my other mate bought his and it was loads quicker!
