Well there ya go, learning every day. I've never touched superchargers so definitely never seen under the petticoat. Interchiller looks like the business. Gunna be a good setup when you've got it all done mate.

I think so too, its been a journey all right and sort of the more you do the more you understand the areas that can be optimised. I am after longevity and a solid package, which is what I should get. I didn't know anything about s/c before I started, and still have a lot to learn as diesel applications have not been as developed or optimised as the petrol variants. I read the books and ask the questions, its all knowledge.Originally Posted by 0-TJ-0
How long until the next weekend away Phil?

Chris,
in reality I could be out in it now however its still got '8 things' I am trying to sort out, the 3 biggies are the finalisation of the wiring, another 3 days I reckon, the total resolution of the Intercooler/interchiller setup and the chassis plating. I will hook into the wiring this break, and swap out the inlet manifold, then its maybe the plating of the chassis next break, so that the end of Feb. The Interchiller is going to be ordered mid feb for alignment with 2nd break, then install it mechanically. I would like to think I can get it actually charged up that third roster but might have to wait until mid March break - assuming everything goes to plan. The second condenser location is going to be a challenge, its 500 x 400 x 10mm thick. Its normally supplied with a1600cfm SPAL pusher fan and sits in front of the radiator. I am running out of space with the oil cooler, factory a/c condensor and fan, the additional 2500cfm elec booster fan takes up a bit of space. I might end up mounting it horizontally above the engine , directly below the bonnet scoop inlet as that hole is huge - but that makes the a/c lines longer and plumbing a pain - just a few more problems. I want it on the road asap, but am not going to rush it like in the past. I want to be at Licola this year - work stuffed me up last year, so it definitely will be done by then. I then want it thru engineering before doing much else, but that will be an easy appointment as I have already opened the dialogue with the assessor and am following his lead.
So maybe squeeze in a weekend late April/May - will certainly give you the heads up along with the rest of the herd.

New manifold went on today, holes didn't line up again, just like the first one, however the belt alignment is now perfect, so will run the 6 rib belt just to confirm then swap out to the 8 rib later. Setting up the temp sensors again and also the redarc low water unit.
Next job is the chassis plates.

Inlet air temp probes 1 and 2 installed and operational, needed to run a 1/8" NPT tap thru a socket - $68 later, two probes sitting nice and proud in the airstream. Have extended the looms on the 2 EGT sensors to get them up near the drivers side pillar, along with the boost gauge. Mounted the Codan NGT handset after making bracket no. 2 - the first one was devoured by the garage monster and will no doubt turn up one day. Short day tomorrow, garage hand back day before returning to site.
Will have a look at the opportunity for the additional a/c condenser with luck. Took the beast out for a squirt, the 6 rib belts are squealing under hard acceleration, so I think the 8 ribs will be going on pretty soon also.
Thought I was getting closer, but the list just grew again.
Plate chassis
Low water alarm
Boost gauge
Water mist injection
Aux fuel gauge
Bulge blowers
A/c clutch wire
Windscreen light power
Shuroo
Difflock compressor
Vacuum reservoir
Vacuum pump
Codan connect up
JingPing rear floor
Interchiller installation
Surge tank double insulate
Boost pump wire and speed control
Install boost pump flow meter
Swap out 8 rib belt
Power to roof rack lights
Weld out front diff brace
Weld up rear diff brace for model
Main large compressor and ringmain
Cel-Fi install
Bloody hell, I am getting tired of this right now.
