N16 DCi-R

Yeah I did mention the Wilwoods before. R33 GTS-T calipers would be the way to go. But I thought fuck it I'm done playing.

Not had a chance to test nozzles yet. Will get them sent off soon though. I wouldnt know about the VAG lot. I just assume they have VAG tax and they're a different system anyway so it's not comparable.
 
I know what you mean with the playing. :confused:

Defo different to the VAGies, but I was just saying regarding cost wise. Apparently the Injector Tips swap (Navara's tips to Ours) is quite costly as a special company will need to do it, as to make sure they don't pop off when X amount of pressure is pushed through them, unless of course we get lucky and it's just the case we can just buy & use the Nav Injectors themselves. :cool:
 
I don't think Navara injectors can be used unless used with Navara ECu. This is because of the registering of injector codes. The 2.2 doesnt do this.
 
Put some holes in the front engine mount. Will see how this goes and if vibrations are still as bad as Liam found! Left space to make other holes larger.

Also being getting rid of some chassis rust. Pleased to find only a few areas of surface rust.

De-rusting done, subframe in (with TDMi collar spacers), steering rack bolted up, arb in. Went to bolt up flywheel but the ARP bolts I've been supplied for this engine have the wrong thread pitch.

I slapped a load of wax over the subframe for extra protection. Hence it looks a bit hazy here.

BTW the collars REALLY show how out of alignment the subframe can be.

Needs some TLC

Thanks chaps. Glad I've still got the energy and love for it. Dead excited for it's return now.

Discs have been cryo treated now. Did it with Frozen Solid at a cost of £100 including return delivery. If it works like many have said, then it'll be worth it. Have a google for what it can do for brake discs and you'll understand why.

Flywheel and clutch will go on as soon as I get my ARP bolts sorted. Billcar Engineering are sourcing them for me. On that day the gearbox, wishbones, etc, basically everything else will go back on. Then I'll be left with the god forsaking interior wiring lol. Not looking forward to that tbh but hey ho another thing that'll be worth it when it's done.
 
Nice.. Keep the updates coming.. :)

WOW!! Simply wow.... Now that's an update!! Well done man.... JAE really works wonders. Going to feel like a totally new beast altogether!!!
 
yeah, massive update. Would like to see those new wheels you put on. How did HLSD thing turned out? Could you maybe do a write up of things needed to do the LSD conversion?
 
Yeah will do. Its basically buy an HLSD. Swap crown gear. New bearings pressed on. Swap into gearbox. Buy P12 2.2 29 spline full shafts and hybrid them with N16 full shafts along with a custom drive shaft which can be bought from Berrisford Engineering.

I'll let you know how well it all fits together next week when i get the shaft delivered.
