Diesel goodies
« on: 25 February 2013, 12:27 »
I've been a little bid happy on eBay and I seem to have amassed a few bits for the car :whistle:

1 x Allard EGR delete
1 x TurboRevs SMIC
1 x 45' bend Aluminium pipe (which is too small :rolleyes: but will be replaced with a 57mm one)
2 x 90' bend silicone hoses
4 x 50-70mm jubilee clips
1 x 1metre of braided fuel line
1 x Twin fuel line separator clamp

This should keep me occupied for a little while :evil:

Wicked mate.

You will defo be kept busy when cutting some of the bumper out. You have to remove quite a bit of a the bumper out to stop the IC from pushing it out.

Why the fuel line may I ask?

Balls, didn't realise about the bumper, but cheers for the heads up :wink:

Change of fuel lines is because the standard ones are looking a bit old, and with fitting the aluminium pipe, their weird and wonderful shape will cease to have a use (ie, they can't clip neatly onto anything). No other reason really.

The bumper is no real issue mate. Just requires a bit of hacking and bashing on the inside...I get ya with the hoses as well, tidies up the old ones!

I'll have a butchers tomorrow if the weather isn't piss poor! Yeh, just thought the existing fuel pipes would look a little odd above the aluminium pipe :laugh:

I'll get pics up of my progress! :wink:

that cooler shouldnt need any bumper hacking, its thicker than the old smic but thats all! you might want a 45deg elbow to join ur new intercooler to the pancake pipe too depending on what engine yours has. if its a 110 or below itll be ok but the higer ones have that silly bayonet push fit thing
i think i love you.....

Right...

The good news: Intercooler is fitted and required NO trimming of the bumper

The bad news: My fears were confirmed, the manifold for a 115PD will not take the Allard EGR delete for a 130/150PD. This meant that after removing the EGR, I then had to refit the fecker!! :sad: And if that wasn't bad enough, I dropped one of the bolts and the Allen key, resulting in me spending over an hour to locate and remove them!! :lipsrsealed:

Next up is to order an EGR delete for the 115PD, and get the 51mm silicone pipe work to suit.

Anyone need an Allard EGR delete for their 130/150PD? :whistle:

Not to worry, just need to buy the 51mm version and connecting silicone piping to suit.

As long as no one else makes the same mistake, then it's worth it :smiley:
