Liam_D Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 Haha! Ill go as fast as I can! Meant to be saving money though Quote
Liam_D Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Picked this badboy up from my good friend Mike last night. Absolute minter of a TD04 ready for my conversion. He even chucked in some gaskets so that saves me a few pennies Quote
pick1 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 good good parts are mounting up nicely now dude Quote
Liam_D Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 About 200bhp eventually, only gonna be running low boost for now. Quote
Stefan_s Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 cool, is it an externally gated set up youve gone for? Quote
Liam_D Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 Yes mate ran and externally gated ct9 set up for a while now, wouldn't go back to internal gates! Quote
Malcolm GT Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Epic build, td04 is just what your car needs now! Quote
Liam_D Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 Cheers guys can't wait for my WEPR stuff to arrive! Quote
Liam_D Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Today was the day that shit got shiny! Took the TD04 into work and started the rebuild after permission from my boss! Doing it on my breaks so its not quite finished yet Turbine housing is in the process of being welded. And its going to get balanced and rebuilt tomorrow hopefully! Cant wait for the WEPR stuff to arrive so i can get it all built up! Quote
A L 3 X Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Out of interest what would you charge to rebuild one of these? Quote
pick1 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Awesome dude are going for clean with the tubby or are u going for polished see your face in it kinda shine ? Quote
Liam_D Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Shorty - no can't wait matey! Really want my WEPR stuff now so I can get the main bit built up! Al3x - all depends on what sorta state the turbo is in standard repair (like mine above) would be around £180 then it can go up to around £300/400 depending on parts needed to repair etc etcc. Pick - I'm just going this clean with it buddy, no point chroming it it's a daily so I won't stay shiny for long I just want it to work well and look half decent. Did have talks with my workmates about polishing a spare comp cover we have lying around and trimming the unused lugs off it. Manifold and downpipe will be painted black though tryna find a black tial and hopefully gonna have black and silver lines made up! Quote
pick1 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Still looks good dude and u spoke to mike at Td about getting a black tial he may be able to help ya out Quote
Liam_D Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Not yet matey, not in desperate need of one at the minute will be one of the last pieces to the puzzle. He will be one of the people I contact though! Quote
Liam_D Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Brought the TD04 home now as its now finished. Its had a full standard rebuild by me a few pics to show how clean it is now! Hoping my WEPR order shows up soon! 7Also payed for a full lime green hose kit off CJ Performance and a Low temp thermostat from Mike @ Tuning Developments! Car is currently in a vile state due to the pissing snow! Hoping to give it a bath this weekend. Quote
pick1 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Clean as a whistle my friend will look tidy in the bay for sure Quote
