It smokes more than it did, but is making hardly any more boost?
Dont get me wrong, 18 is cool, but i want more lol
Thinking either my actuator is weak, or boost controller is knackered. Although ive tried it without the controller at all, and it makes the same boost, so i guess that rules the controller out. The controller must be dodgy anyway as no matter what you do with the adjuster knob it doesnt change what boost it makes lol
mynes a bit like that ... more kind of depends on what fueling your running as to what it boosts at ... think it just boosts as much as its got the fuel to mix with.
Has anyone noticed they dont boost aswell when there warm. myne feels a lot faster when ive just started driving about.
so if i was to buy this kit the t peice would go between inlet manifold and pump and the boost controller between the turbo and actuator its a 1.5td corsa

Yup
thank you what would be a safe boost to run im also puttin a front mount on it
20 psi is safe enough.Quote:

i decided to modify my pump today so thought i would take a few pics :d
i prefere to take the inlet manifold off to access the pump easier

this is the part you are concentrating on
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...5022010006.jpg
undo the four bolts to remove this

whilst it is off you want to hit the nipple in the middle flat, like so
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...5022010005.jpg
now for the "white ring mod" first off it has to go in the same way it came out. so i marked mine with a ickle dab of primer :d
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...5022010002.jpg
with that done it just slides out to reveal this
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...5022010003.jpg
that be the white ring that needs removing
hopes thats cleared it up abit
burgo your a fu*king legend thats exactly what i needed
glad i could help mate :) any other questions dont hesitate to ask
well today im getting a steady 1.5 bar of boost my controller wawound all the way to the + side so i thought id turn it all the way off to the - side till i wont turn anymore and boom 1.5 bar and i aint done the fuel pump or the white ring yet just upped the fueling :thumb: maxed out at 1.7 bar with no pipes poped off yet
I have a twitch....
Hmmm, this seems tempting.
So, a 1997ish mk3 astra van has the izuzu engine?
Do any mk4 astras have thus engine? As I prefer the mk4 for looks?
And dump valve fitting info? lol

And dump valve fitting info? lol your a bellend for trying,
Ahh well, 1.9cdti van it is then.Quote:

I plan on machining a Td flywheel to suit the friction plate from an xe and running the f18 or f20 with the longer 5th with an uprated Xe clutch
Well i ran mine like this and no issues, i personally think the 1.7 is overrated compared to a good 1.5 use a good quality clutch is all you needQuote:

Vaux running gear is awesome, ive never snapped a shaft or done a box, ive done loads of clutches in even the nova xe hasnt died, only shaft i did was tigra cv due to me driving with a ripped boot and being lazy, my saxo had axles, shafts, box, mountings lower arms shocks just basicaly rubbishQuote:

I dont suppose anyone knows what the wires in the multi plug that joins the engine loom and car loom together are for? Im putting a 1.7td in my mk2 cav but struggle with wiring at the best of times.
If anyone knows what they are colour for colour it`d be a massive bonus.
They will be for the coolant temp sensors, theres 3 of them and then theres your rad and speed sensor (if you have one), stop solenoid etc etc
haha i got 51mpg out of mine at the weekend :) modded f20 ftw :)Quote:

hello all,
ive just bought a 1.5td nova, which im planning on up'in the fuel and boost on.
now, i was just wondering, is it really worthwhile fitting the 1.7td engine and doing the same? can i use my nova's gearbox, or will i need the 1.7td box/flywheel/driveshafts/clutch etc? is everything a straight swap, as they pretty much the same engines aren't they?
thanks
IMO you might as well stick with the 1.5 if its a good runner
right - i have been told instead ov runnin the boost controller just cut the pipe and block both up and allows you to run just under 2bar ??
any thoughts ? not sure how this deisel lark works hehe
http://www.cemetery.eclipse.co.uk/ri...leedvalve3.jpg
dont use this just block both ends ov pipe up with a bolt inserted into the pipe ?
