.The van when I bought it!
Last spring I got disgusted how slow and ugly the van really was.The timing belt was last changed 110tkm ago so I started to tear it apart and found out the egr had clogged the whole intake with soot.Didnt take me long to take the whole head apart.Serviced in the army from last summer to new year so didnt do much to it during that time.Just had the the head done with new valve stem seals,also got rid of the rust and painted it red.Planning on putting the head back on tomorrow and visit a breaker tomorrow.The van in its current state(notice the window)!
The cylinder head
Right now im searching for a 145/146 bosch pump to do the conversion,Also searching for the newer intake manifold of the naturally aspirated di engines(not banana).Getting new 100ps injector from united diesel.Im also going to fit a large intercooler in front of the radiator.The stock turbo is a small fella,thinking about replacing it with a holset hx25w turbo with a custom manifold and 2,5 exhaust,the pump will also need to be modded.How much hp do you recon the stock td pistons can take without oil spray?
Hopefully the engine will be finished before spring,as I really want to start working on the chassis.The arches has rusted real bad(all four),the back door has rusted beyond repair.The color of the van has changed from red to pink and needs to be polished.There is also rust in the engine room and and the outside,weird enough there is really no visible rust under the van.I can fix all of it except the wheel arches,and leave it to the pros.The front brakes and shocks are shot,there is also some play in the steering which I will look into.There is a lot more to tell about what im going to do with it if you are interested.
Picture of the bike.
Does anyone know if the fuel lines between the injection pump-filter-diesel pump needs to be high pressure line or will regular fuel line do the trick?
