Haha would be awesome.
The w2a is definitely working now. Drove it no pump no fan egts were 400 ish giving it some.
Changed piping route and bled it all properly, pump only (no fan) same conditions if not giving it more. Struggled to get past 300 degrees.
Fingers crossed it will do the job alright. Time will tell. Must say it was a pain in the backside to bleed it all properly.
Stuffed up today trying to use the vac pump return as catch can return. Came on boost and sucked in a gut full of oil. Fingers crossed all is good. Intercooler is draining over night. Still runs and sounds fine till on boost (was sucking oil from intercooler). Fingers crossed its all good.
Blocked the drain. Kinda getting over the vehicle.
Conversion is complete. Cars all sorted. Exhaust and drive off into the sunset.
Well its done about 1000ks so dropped the oil and new filters along with a new fan and fan clutch as it was running close to 100 degrees on the weekend. Loaded up car, towing a tonne and an ambient of 28ish. Doing 110 it sat just shy of 100 degrees.
Figuring not once did I hear the fan, nor have I heard it roar on cold start for a loooooong time, id bang one on it. It now roars on cold start which is a good sign. The weekend/week away will be the telling point.
Doesnt go over 82 degrees around town.
Sounds fantastic! Progress St, Doveton by chance?
Haha yeh. Everyone knows where it is. I work on Progress Street.
very nice rig mate
Did about 1500ks on the weekend in it. Few bugs.
Just changed the front turbo housing and sorted the wastegate actuator, now I can actually control my boost im happy. Needs a bit of a clean up off boost fueling but hopefully a minor tweak will fix that.
Need to kit my powersteering pump and fit a second battery.
Still got to get to vicroads. Bit worried about if it will be as easy as a number change or they will be upset with my engine bay. Bit nervous.
First day out bush in it, goes great. Runs sweet and the sound is enough to make anyone smile.
Thought Toolangi would just be a dustbowl, how wrong was I.
Has a patrolapart hi flow water pump in it which seems to have helped substantially.
This week has been expensive. Front LOKKA ordered and picked up a second hand front centre so I can build it and just whack it in. Ordered a shim for the LSD so ill shim that up too.
Today I picked up a 105 amp hour AGM battery for the back and a red arc DC/DC charger to ensure the deep cycle is getting charged correctly. Only down side to that setup is I can not push button jump start from the aux battery but I would rather a fully charged aux battery.
