,went on some test runs , and ive hit the first problem , lol well ive hit first problem , (nothing seroius as yet lol) , the dam fuel tank problems , as evern thow theres battles in the tank , fuel is escaping and the fuel pump is draging air i reckon as it keeps makeing horried noises , like air and no fuel and i was lucky to get up the road with it as well , so thought chuff it ill rip the tank off , and fit the standard mk3 vr6 in tank pump and then add this other pump inline , few pics http://i30.tinypic.com/2rw43r6.jpg then made a straight step to kep fuel in the bottom ,plus a gauze to stopp fuel runing away http://i31.tinypic.com/2d2ipex.jpg http://i25.tinypic.com/1zb6khv.jpg but evern thow now the pumps sounds 100percent better ,i think like a **** ive piped it wrong heres a quick daigram to explain http://i29.tinypic.com/f2vkvr.jpg ive piped the feed from the intake pump direct to inline high pressure pump to the filter and fuel rail , but the return from the fuel rail is piped direct to return of the intake vr6 pump , which im sure is wrong , because as it fils the intake pump it then returns inthe return fuel hose , which im sure i need to route the return to the tank and the vr6 pump as well |
right a few updates ,mostly bad after i got the caddy moted and on the road , started tuning and boosting 8psi , this may not sound a lot , but mental with one of these engine/gearboxs in a caddy i had major torque steer trying to keep it straight , so i got around this by riping both driveshafts off and makeing 2 tubilar shafts and beefed them up , worked a treat , so on i went tuning ps 8psi , on the data log worked out 304bhp ) after more tuning i got a mental 23psi of boost , never been in anything like it ,pulling power and torque was on another leval , so the following day i thought ive got to get some footage ,lol day come everything set , and i dam paused the video instead of recoreding and as i stopped the video , it recoreded the worst part the dam engine oil give away causeing engine crank failure grrr ,,so ive had to buy another and start again , the problem i found was the engine oil was wrong and also had the wrong dam sump on the engine causeing oil starvation , more pics here
went and had the wheels tracked up today (guys liked it lol) http://i31.tinypic.com/35m0i68.jpg and the mk2 16v servo arrived (thank god lol) http://i32.tinypic.com/jkf6t0.jpg and a of pic http://i31.tinypic.com/3151t3t.jpg just do a near direct bolt on ,but due to the exhust and header tank , i had to re mod it lol http://i29.tinypic.com/2ufxf6e.jpg and that pin that holds the arm in place was a **** to get out lol http://i31.tinypic.com/24lj52d.jpg once fitted http://i30.tinypic.com/qoycd2.jpg had to chop a bit out of the header too http://i26.tinypic.com/sxg5j4.jpg job done brakes dont seem any better considering but its a bit late to go back now ,, the 4wd makes a right differnce when i floor the engine lol, nothing seems to be catching either lol |
after all effort and hours ive put into this and this happernds ,i carnt belive it , plans , basicly none , unless i try to re grind parts of the crank lol (kidding) basicly its probley easyer fitting another complete engine ,but there pricely so if any one herars of a cheepish one let me know and a few pics
alloy fileing in the sump and in the engine http://i28.tinypic.com/2n8uecn.jpg see the shells here http://i28.tinypic.com/154aeqv.jpg then see the dark black one how hot it must have got http://i30.tinypic.com/imusf5.jpg the crank dosent look too bad , apart from 3 bearing whitch have spun , but there no score marks on the crank http://i26.tinypic.com/2922n8i.jpg but this one is the problem it has grabbed and spun the shell , maybe ok with wet and dry to clean it up , but then thees the conrod which has worn with the shell spin ,so that will need replaceing http://i27.tinypic.com/102nfnt.jpg http://i30.tinypic.com/6pxgcx.jpg |

Dual masses are nice for a smooth daily drive...but don't like holding up once you increase the power!
