Had hoped to get the car running with old IP but new turbo and head today. Ran into a slight snag with the turbo, apparently not all HX30W are created equal. The new one is a twin scroll and has a bigger exhaust housing and the wastegate arm sits out further. I should have that fixed tomorrow before turkey time. I have about 22 or so pics I took that I will post with some details later. For now you can see them here. https://picasaweb.google.com/11018479126...directlink

Sadly its not nearly as many as I thought I had taken....

Looking good! Did you find any issues with the old head or gasket? Mine has been eating coolant and I'm concerned I may have some damage from the water on the bottom end when I remove the head.

Also, please take lots of photos of your oils line for your New turbo please!

After turning the engine by hand a million times, I turned her over till the battery died (building up oil pressure). Charging now until turkey time is over.

The head gasket had eaten away where the water jackets come up in one place and the others were fairly corroded. Looks like there was some gas passing between #1 and #2 as well even though the hg rings were shiny.

The turbo is just a newer version of the one I had already upgraded too. The only modification that was required was to put a funky adapter on the existing oil feed (name of connector escapes me). My old one will be up for sale. Not sure how it will fit with the fed manifold but it fits well enough with the euro one. Not sure how I can get a bigger turbo in there.

Mmm...I've been removing my coolant cap after see drive. Otherwise the pressure pushes back into the cylinder(s) with coolant. If I don't de-pressurize, my car engine eats coolant very quickly.

I know you may have mentioned this in another post but I don't remember: what are you plans for your transmission? Is it gonna hold up to the power?

I was gonna have Jonathan at Blue Ridge Mercedes rebuild my auto box once I do my pump upgrade.

Thanks for keeping is posted! Keep up the good work.

No coolant or oil mixing, but while running the cylinder pressure leaks and over pressurized and overheats cooling system.

Sadly, I dont think I have enough time to get the pump mounted this weekend. I am also nervous about the 606 hg and want to run it for a few weeks at normal paces. Tomorrow I am going to put her back together for the shake down run.

So I talked myself into doing it tomorrow after I made this post. Today, I found out that my EGT gauge or sensor is busted, so I will def have to wait. Goran as excited as I am to get the pump in, I want to make sure I dont melt anything Big Grin

For now, everything is buttoned up and ready for DD till I get back from Germany, when I will have time and money to git er dun.

Unfortunately, based on the wavy mirror polish on cyl #2 and 3, I need new sleeves (and rod or?) to get rid of my clacking. For now I will just let her ride. The new turbo is spooling quick and I put an old manual boost controller on. It really hauls.

No way, I paid like $3 for the basket 2 years ago. I have a brand new one laying around now, there was already a basket in.

(01-23-2013, 02:38 PM)raysorenson Finally! Since I plan to go this route eventually with similar output, I'm super interested.

Do you still have the basket behind the vac pump? I left mine in. One less tool to lose.

Intercooling or instrumentation?Wink

Clutch?

Don't lose that stupid basket, they retail for $275 now!
No way, I paid like $3 for the basket 2 years ago. I have a brand new one laying around now, there was already a basket in.

Nope, Got it right before tgiving and then left for 3 weeks to the father land. Its on now and I'm cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging and cranking and charging.....


Got some bubbles at the pump on the last one so one or two more rounds and it should run.

Needs some sorting, idle needs improvement and too much smoke at idle. But great googly moogly when the turbo kicks in the only thing keeping the car on the ground is 12" tires.

After checking the timing 4x and even adjusting timing while idling, I finally decided to turn down the ALDA a turn and the smoke is gone. I think the poor compression is to blame. Also my tach has been non op and as a result the ELR which isnt helping. I started debugging the tach and found that its not generating any voltage at idle or revved. Sadly I swapped the OVP in the process and the old one is non op as well now. Going to see if it just needs a reflow later tonight. In the mean time, no turn signals.

How much boost?

At what rpm does it make say, .7 bar and then full boost?

Is your clutch holding up?

Do you have a stock ALDA or one of Meken's units?

Is it louder?

Sorry for all the questions. This is the parsed down version =)

In case anyone has been wondering, I have been too far under the weather to do any work. Monday night I was up till 2 am, working through the ELR issue only to find out I was testing the wrong things! OVP is fine (now I have a spare) as is tach sensor(ditto). I even think at this point ELR must be working, when I plugged the tach sensor in the car revs. So maybe all along its just the tach itself. Complete failures on my end. Tomorrow I will put it back together and try the timing one more time. Shopped around for a new engine (need to call and get the compression).

So timing is good. Verified by adjusting timing with car running. Found that with #1 and #3 lines that my smoke issues are almost nil. Now, I did have these injectors serviced about a year ago, so I assume they are OK. I have swapped #1 and #4 to see if it follows. IIRC, I have already been through this dance with #1.... Time to start looking for a new engine I think.
