kyska Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Seriously, these threads blow my mind, among the many things I'd change about myself would be to even have a gram of practical skills like this, I'm so far removed from doing anything simple DIY. I've loved reading this, in awe. Thread of the year, until you start another.... Oh and other one is to be a morning person. If I were to start a topic like this documenting my training I'd get arrested having a pharmacology background. Brilliant stuff, I've had to google most replies to make half sense, didn't even know how a turbo worked, do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I have said before how much I like these threads. This, Viking's and the boat spring to mind. Without boasting too much - I have built motorcycles and cars - from a frame / chassis upwards - every nut and bolt. I weld - to a mediocre level - and can normally make most things mechanical. Made my own rib dent puller in an hour or so, have made adjustable comb mechanisms and fitted a few. What I don't have is the in depth knowledge and skill that these threads show. It is a pleasure and a privilege to read them. Well done to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for being a 'morning person' he is only one of those as his wife throws him out of bed every morning with instructions to get her breakfast.

ditchman Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 i have a spare engine dont forget.....i will test it on that first............... Right................just an update on the Turbo rebuild.............. i have been looking at it on the spares bench every time i walk into the shed.. ....didnt have the balls to test it.. ..... soooo made the effort this morning....swapped the turbo off the re-built engine and put the rebuilt turbo on the engine in the shed.....made a few adjustments to the outlet position...then pumped oil into the gallery ...so it wouldnt start spinning dry................checked everything....but left the delivery side open to check it was ONLY pumping air started it...warmed it up....boosted it up to 3/4 revs...blipped the throttle....(if it chucks out black smoke...seals need changing)....held it in 3/4 throttle with the wastegate closed....put a peice of white a4 paper under the outlet....no spots of oil...did the same with the exhaust............ turbine dosnt make any whistling .........so i have the balance right (first time).........so i will run it up a few more times over the next few days...and will tourque the compressor vane nut up to the correct setting......job done....remove it ..wrap it up ready for when i tickle the engine up in August... so another job to tick off the list ...
