and with the gearbox... dead , and the clutch on his last few miles... this is how it runs(a short movie... i am using 195/65/15 .. so the km.. shows less)

New clutch

[/

And the new BE3 gearbox (still not sure i will use it ... i think i will combine it with other diff or something , for longer ratios)

thanks Romania for the rads and the dirt

Also done my injection pump(it had some problems , found out why it didn`t run at full potential )
In one week i hope to mount the new gearbox and clutch ,also hope to find the right new intercooler (the one above is not available)
also if things work out , i might end up making a BX HDI

we shall see

i come with news , the gearbox is done , we used the diff that i had on the old gearbox from 1.9 GT 16x59 , the be3 gearbox from the td had 16x63

the gearbox is very good .
Unfortunetly the clutch is toasted already , it does not hold the power (now that i am at 1.3 bar turbo pressure) so i am in search of a ceramic custom clutch ... only thing is that i have no more money , because i made an intercooler upgrade

But for now it is ok , even with the roasted clutch(smells very nice , NOT) it is a little faster than before .
It looks kinda` ugly with this bumper , so i am in search of a mk2 16 valve bumper to fit around the intercooler .(if you know somebody that has one ... please let me know , i will buy it and somehow get it to romania)

The sound of the old diesel

i like it , very silent under normal driving ...

Just a quick notice Mihaistan, I did a dyno run with Xantia, it did 266hp and 421nm torque

uh nice one jeth !!! i saw some short film on youtube ! sweeeeet

also .. i am now waiting for my ceramic clutch ... and also i bought a big turbo (that would be ready at the end of may .. i think)
Next weekend i hope to get the clutch done.. for drag racing (national) ... very powerfull cars... but i hope to get a 14 something sec on 400 m ... (i am runing on slicks) hope the gearbox will hold the power ... i will run at 1.2-1.3 bar if everything will work fine

I did 14.656 with 1,5bar boost (dynoed with 2bar)

with xantia ? than it is very ok .. i am light

anyway ... no chance of making it until the event , the clutch didn`t arrive ... so even if it comes on saturday .. i can`t finish until sunday

better luck next time !

mihaistan · Post by **mihaistan** » Sat May 22, 2010 10:31 pm

;D my clutch kit is here , should be good for 400 nm +

and saving money for oil cooler and pipes for the new turbo ... can`t wait to see how it goes

Sunday was good for me,first run on a drag strip(a bad drag strip with dust and sand..), the car needs some mods.. to be fine ... but for now it is ok , the clutch is holding ok .

the car needs more work .. but it is ok

in search of the problem to put it back on the road

Also made the front bumper much nicer (still have to make some vents cuz now looks like a tank

)
