mikey4410 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 i have ordered a td04L rebuild kit as i think my turbos smoking a little ,was only £37 from the bay.its a superback compresser wheel apparently Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 update : i have fitted a brand new 6 puck clutch from iddy at id workz as my standard exedy clutch has been slipping. turns out that even when i fitted this new clutch at £350 it still slips so something else is not right,theres no way 2 clutchs are problematic,especially one with a 250% uprated torque. so basically its clear the only thing left thats not been replaced is the flywheel which must be shot/glazed.at this stage i am not willing to chance getting the flywheel skimmed,so i bought a brand new genuine part one at £170.

mikey4410 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 update; new flywheel with 6 puck clutch fitted.heres some pictures of the old flywheel,its got hotspots,is badly warped and is also cracked !!!! the below picture is of the pressure plate side of the clutch---note the full wearing in of the face of the pad. the picture below is the old flywheel side of the clutch---note the pad is bedding in only on the edge and not full face so for now the clutch is done and dusted ,i am going to run it in before i go mad with it.maybe half throttle for a good week of daily driving and hopefully all will be ok !!!!!

mikey4410 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 right,big update, i have been looking for a bumper ever since i chopped into mine and fitted that huge ass intercooler. i never wanted it like that and it wasnt in keeping with the sleeper look. taken me alot of months to find one in my colour but it finally happened and paid £45 delivered for it. so then i needed a small intercooler to fit under my new good condition bumper. i also really wanted the intercooler pipes to go over the chassis at the front and not under as they usually do. i went scrap yard and found a mitsubishi pajero intercooler.paid £30. needed a bloody good degreasing and respraying and spent a hour and a half bending the fins back with tweezers but well worth it as it looks new. took a days work to pipe in the cooler and a few chassis mods but went really well.the chassis is mint as u can see in pictures.retained the crash bar still and the cooler nicely mounted to the bonnet catch support.

Amjad Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Proper sleeper now bud! Is that core performing well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah having a correctly sized core makes such a big difference.alot more responsive as the cores suited to the engine size and turbo etc. These huge things they sell like j-performance and toyo sports are wayyy to big. Really happy with how it looks now and its how i always wanted it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 So u know The cores around a quarter of the size of the big old front one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Been busy this morning modifying the throttle body.After watching the inlet temps closely I have noticed they really go quite high especially with the hot weatherthis isnt helped by the water system going through the inlet and heating the shit out of it.so I quickly checked what would happen if I blocked the wax stat inlet piece with my finger at cold start, and the car started fine but idle was REALLY low, but still ran so I am fine with it.so I went about removing the wax stat feature and coolant lines feature. Obviously Whilst it was all off I carb cleaned it all.heres the bit you need to fill with epoxy Edited June 14, 2014 by mikey4410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 theres an unused pipe i bent over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 this picture shows the inlet hole in the bottom of the throttle body mouth.( note its filled with epoxy resin ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Sweet was thinking about this delete on mine, how are you going to go about gathering some data from the change? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Its gonna be a hard one to get exact measurements but it defo cant be worse so I will stick with it.if theres any probs I will just push the epoxy out and put back to how it was but atm its all good.

Done a oil and filter change yesterday.also today I fitted a blitz adjustable dump valve I bought from russ78 I had already purchased the silicone t-piece and it fitted perfectly next to the inlet manifold which is awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Fits just right. I always run a dv. Not a great fan of chatter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yes it does fit so well in there. I am in love with the noise, I cant believe I havent had one before, and a bloody decent one at that.such a great noise and aids the turbo spool.very happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
