Turbo-desiel getting dressed

got one more repair to make and it is the hydraulic pump for the steering..........its a bit bent........dont think the seal was leaking but a new pump is £200 quid plus........and a rebuild kit is £6.00...........so i will take it apart and renew it................it is a real swine to get apart as the drive on the shaft is an "interferance fit"...anyway i will take it apart and you can see whar is inside and how i go about de-bending it !!

Ditchy, I sincerely hope this doesn't do a turbo D and let you down after all the work you've put in to it :no: I wish you all the best with this and hope you get many miles of pleasure from it :good:

 

 

 

if i treat it like my other one it will last a heck of a long time.................3 weeks ago i adjusted the boost pin on the injector pump on the one in the landrover now and believe it or not im getting much better mileage and accelaration.........weird that thought it would be less

 

the block on the re-build is on of the first turbo-desil's to be made......it was then bored out then changed for a 200 shortly after that......they say the early blocks were poor but if this one has already done over 150.000 and been good enuff to bore out then the casting is a gooden................i hope anyway

ive just put the bin out ..so i thought i would take a quick pic of the turbo-desiel i have in at the moment........it has done 147,000 miles on a new set of rings thats all.....and a boost diaphram.........the reason it is shiny ..is because i wash it with cold water power wash every couple of mths...(did this one 6 weeks ago) and cause it dosnt leak one drop of oil i have to spray it with WD40 or it will rust !!

If it doesn't leak it must be empty :lol: Regarding more fuel being more economical you'll remember the old Gardner 150's and 180's.? . I worked at a truck main dealers for years and it took the manufacturers ages to convince hauliers more power was more economical, eventually they bought bigger engines, and low and behold they were more economical.

Probably the same with yours, that little bit more power is just enough, just gets it over the hump so now it cruises along without changing down all the time.

 

Myself, I'm a 300tdi man, best engine they ever built, probably more by luck than design :lol:

 

Hope you get many miles out of it :good:

think you are spot on.............the boost lasts much better and it is quick as a 200tdi and you feel the boost in every gear...im in top gear a lot quicker now..........

 

i do like it as it is sooo quiet ..........if i wanted a good solid workhorse that takes abuse ...it would be the BASIC 300tdi

 

cheers

this is something worth thinking about.........when the last of the 2.25 desiels were coming out...if you looked in the parts order book...you could buy an off market turbo charger kit for the 2.25's....HHmmmmm...................when i talked to peter at brandon desiels he said he knew someone who had one and he was very pleased with it >!!!!!!!!!....................now...thats got you thinking ...hasnt it ?.. :lol:

A mate of mine who used to comp decided his 5.7 small block wasn't quick enough, so he acquired a turbo off a coach. He didn't know what coach just that it was big and carried folk :hmm: He bolted it (that's putting it simply) to the small block, set it up with a huge SU (simplifying it again) and took it comping. It was quite rapid (really simplifying it now), so rapid he kept crashing it :lol:

 

I went in it a few times and to be fair it ran like a dream, it just went faster than his brain so always kept knocking wheels off on trees and things. Last time I went in it for a few laps the very next lap after I got out he walloped a tree head on at stupid knots (see what I did there). Glad I got out 'cause that would have hurt. :lol: :lol:

pump apart.........you can see on the rota shaft 2 wear rings caused by not changing the oil for 30 years...the seal will scrub out on this ...so i put the finest polishing paste on my mop and polished the shaft up ....ooohhh err mrs....

these are the 2 seals i need to replace

 

 

  1. the shaft seal
  2. the cover "o" ring

 

the seals are in and i will collect them tomorrow

 

 

£ 6.00...........cheaper than a new pump in excess of £200.00

 

 

and it should be good for another 30 years of abuse.. :lol:

made a mistake today that i shouldnt have made..........i got a minute piece of swarfe in between the rota and plate ...(and when i say it was small it was nano small)....put it back together and the rota was hard to turn....took it all apart again and saw some witness marks...so set to wit a piece of glass and the finest emery paper i had 15 secs flat rubbed ...put it all together again ...fine .. :yahoo::yahoo:

 

 

moral of the story ...when messing about with hydraulics...YOU HAVE GOT TO WORK CLEAN...
