My 1.6td/aaz head and other stuff too.

[rallydiesel]

Got my AAZ head so there will be another frankenmotor on the road! Just tearing it down and I will start porting the exhaust.

I used a 28x7x2.5 inch Intercooler  from CXracing.......dont get to big of a IC...it will just make for more lag...

I'll second what Mark said.

The small one would be fine Ed..

I hear you Bravo Leader!
That's still some decent coin for me though. Considering i would need piping too. Or, i could just use more ABS right? with the rubber couplings?

I live really close to the border so i could get it shipped to this place called "ship happens" to save on shipping/duty and what not.
it would be $100 cad with the x-change rate right now. That's not bad at all. I thought my dollar was a lot less then your dollar

go to cdn tire and buy the exhaust piping for the turbo to intercooler.  you can use abs from intercooler to intake, as it won't be as hot, but it could still melt and burst. the 2.5" exhaust piping should be perfect, and you can crimp the ends for a good seal

My hillbilly ways of thinking are leaning me to the exhaust pipe and radiator hose. I know the exhaust can handle temps and the radiator hose handles coolant at least 200 degrees F day in and day out. Plus I can find radiator hose just about anywhere and I know it doesn't get torn up too easily...the only thing I have yet to find out is how much stretch??? If the radiator caps have a 13-16psi rating then the hose should handle more than that, I hope.

[Smokey Eddy]

Well i already have ABS pipe and rubber couplings going from the turbo to the intake the way it is right now and they haven't melted. They just get formed to that shape.
ie. when you take them off they are fitted to that shape permanently.

Eddy I had read that you got a new camshaft as well as the head. Was it the 1.9 cam or another 1.6. If it was the 1.9 does the profile of the cam remain the same as the original 1.6 as in the timing of the valves opening and closing?

[Smokey Eddy]

I did not get a new cam as my 1.6 cam fits just fine and was not worn at all.

Thanks Dan!
With shipping those would all be well over $100 US especially to me in Canada. I could get a DSM intercooler for very very cheap.
But i like those ones. Which would you think would be best? the third one i dont think would fit... The second one looks alright but it's quite small. The first one?

Uhhh, so i went with the smallest, cheapest one... and they list the price as $47 + shipping/handling... and the total was $142 USD + taxes and duty... So i said screw that.

For what it's worth;
with that much extension of my exhaust  from the down pipe i've noticed EGT's to be about 200 degrees hotter on average. 120km/hr in 5th is at about 750F. My hill climb course (The Highlands from the bottom of McKee for those Abbotsford guys on here!) it will climb to 1,200F and just sort of sit... never gone higher than 1,250F

Just some insentive to have dual 2.5 inch ahahhaha i have 2.5 inch exhaust to the cross member then from there it is two 2.5 pipes. I dont feel like doing the math but it's pretty free flowing. On start up the only issue is that its TOO free flowing and it's rather loud (popping sounds as air pockets get stuck) but once it idles for about 20 seconds or i start driving it goes away. It can really make driving feel weird

Pictures of that exhaust please!!!

To recap...



All i have is my crappy phone so ... sorry.
Here is a bit on how my paint job is going.
The hood did not mist very well so i need to wet sand it down, add mineral spirits to the paint and try again. The gun im using also does not like to spray when it is not straight up and down. My keyboard is stuck in french which is being very annoying so this will end here.


Fuel flap still needs to be wet sanded but it looks mighty fine for a first coat.
Itès raining now so painting will have to wait till next weekend.

[8v-of-fury]

Ed, Very nice paint. I think i will take your advice and spray it.. rather then roll it on lol.
