How does the bov go in water????

Under water you mean . ?

I don't think it will be agreat idea .. at least not to me. Even with the positive pressure that you got in the sistem.

marting, where are you? Have you cleaned the living room floor?

Rick

Hey Rick.. thanx for your concern I'm on a small summerholiday visiting my mom and my sister down south in the country..
I cleaned the floor before i laid out the parts so they wouldn't get any dirt on them

I have added a pyrometer to my parts-pile... now i only need a few details.. I'll be home and ready for turbo-converting in about 10 days....man! I can't wait...

Doing some rust-repairs on the beast while I'm down here..there were more than a few holes in the roof along the rain-gutter..it has been patched up before..not very well.. I'll post some pics when my girl comes down here with the charger for the camera!

Oh... and here is a picture of me..Incase you wonder what a modern viking looks like...
I'm sorry that i hadn't shaved for the ocasion

I don't drive in water.. atleast not deeper than the top of the wheel... Stuffing the frame with mud and getting dirty water on the floor-carpets isn't quite my thing..

As for the BOV it will sit higher or at the same height as the intake anyway.. so the BOV would be the least of the problems...
No plans for a snorkel..

does any one know why my turboed 2h uses so much fuel is it because i run no muffler as i was under the inpresion that the turbo will give enough back presure

How much fuel does it use? Does it smoke a lot? Do you know the condition of your injectors? I don't think you really need backpreassure..

Actually not .. you doon't need backpressure in a turboed engine. Which it's your measure of much fuel ?

10 days vacation is a long time, ya?

It's Ok, I am going on a vacation also, so I will watch you build your turbo system from coffee shops and internet cafe's!

Skol!

hi guy.....just thought some of you guys would like to see the out come of my turbo 2h

Looks good, how much boost are you running?

 

[bigluxs]

i'm running 8psi

Hey! That looks like a real good and usable increase in power and tourque... But one thing strikes me, 35kW ?! and 56kW with turbo?

I though it had around 100 hp or 75kW without the turbo

Somebody please explain!
I understand that this has been measured on the wheels, but is 50% of the power lost in the drivetrain?
Will this testresult also vary with wheel-diameter?

Roller dynos are very sensitive to tyre size, pressure and tread, 50% is high but not unheard of.
Hub pack dynos take the tyres out of the equation, but they aren't as common.

Wheel diameter will change the gearing, but the power curve should come out similar. I say should because it'd be hard to change the wheel diameter without changing the tyre tread and that will have an impact too.

OK ! Here we go... I'll start the work tomorrow

I will be using the watercooling for the turbo and i was wondering, could i remove the return-pipe from the heater that runs along the top of the engine and use that "loop"?

It would be a very clean way of sorting the pipes..+ give improved access to the injectors etc.

I could go from the red arrow,, get rid of pipe with orange arrow and hook back in at the yellow..

Whatchya think?

 

[marting]

hang on.... will there be any flow in that pipe when the heater is closed?

 

[marting]

Well... I decided to take the water from the drain-plug on the block.. and return it to the rediator-hose.

I have started work !
Got rid of the old exhaust and stripped the front end from it's batteries and radiator..
Drained oil and coolant
Battery-trays have been cleaned and painted.
Cleaned the inner-wells
test-flipped the manifold ends up further back than i expected.
Made holes for IC-tubes
Removed oil-preassure switch, drain-plug and push-rod cover to prepare them for modifications


Oh.. and i attached a picture of my storage-thingy

just looking at the first pic and was thinking how do you guy run your zost off the turbo with all the brake booster and steering there?

 

[marting]

I wondered about that too.. I will have to move the turbo forward about 15 cm with the adapter form the manifold.. then the exhaust will clear the brake stuff... steering is no problem, it will pass the steering-parts in the same place as the original.
But yeah.. a RHD would be easier

 

[marting]

Some progress... Lots more pictures and updates to come on saturday i think..

 

[marting]

More pictures.. lots of work left.

 

[marting]

and some more.
