Clever idea.A: I don't fancy fitting a sandwhich plate given the location of the filter. Could be a royal PITA.

on my MK1 Golf i have a remote Oil filter due to the twin Oil Cooler set up i have, i have the standard water cooled and a sandwich plate with blank.

then the sandwich plate feeds the remote Oil cooler and remote Oil filter, plus it makes changing the oil filter alot easier. T:

i have a spare one if you want it £10 posted T:

T: What would be involved in fitting it to a 2.4D?

T: What would be involved in fitting it to a 2.4D?

un screw the oil filter , place the sandwich plate were the filter goes and then screw the oil filter back in position under the new sandwich plate. T:

Reason for the remote filter on the MK1 is the filter does have enough room with the sandwich plate, but it also increases oil capacity. T:

Brookster: On the V70 turbo, where does the vacuum pipe go from the nipple on the turbo???

Vacumm pipe for the boost controller - nipple on wastegate

or

Boost Gauge - anywhere off the boost pipes between the turbo and the inlet manifold

If you were to connect the pipe without using a boost controller or gauge where does the pipe connect between?

 

[JonT4]

How have you guys reduced down off the inlet manifold (66mm) to the rest of the pipework???

Silcone reducer 65mm to 51mm elbow

60mm - 51mm Elbow (£10) for the Manifold, i will use the existing 60mm flange off the 2.4D Inlet and then the elbow reducer for the boost pipes.

Is it this boost pipe your are talking about.

the oil filter will not fit when using an adapter plate, it fouls the steering rack...

 

[lumoxs]

this is true as i found out when fitting my sandwhich plate, there is a way round it however....

i had the file down and 6/8mm off the sarnie plate to allow the adapter to screw onto the old filter thred.... then, i had to go and purchase a mk3 golf 1.9TDi oil filter to fit... does the job fine

Just to update on my progress; my head is ready to go back in. Will just have to sort out an issue with the oil feed connection and it should be ready to rumble. The head has been ported and polished on both inlet and exhaust ports, the valve guides have been removed, the seats have been cut with multiple angles and the face cleaned up, the turbo has been fettled and chamfered (done after this photo) and both manifolds ported and matched.

Nice Work Jon T:

Have you got a MK3 TDI Oil filter sorted.

and are you going to rotate the Compressor housing on the Turbo ?

 

[JonT4]

Brookster: What's the Mk3 oil filter for? I realised that I can't rotate the turbo because it would cause a loop in the pipework for the oil return and given that it's gravity fed if it gets an air lock it would ruin the turbo in seconds. Incidentally, both of the original VW turbo oil pipes are never going to fit in a million years both are miles out so I'm off now to have some made. I'm still not sure where the other end of the vacuum hose from the actuator attaches to, any ideas?:*

not rotate the Turbo !

pin the Compressor side by loosening the bolt so you can turn the outlet to a better position.

The MK3 Oil filter was shorter so the filter doesn't hit the steering rack, i have custom oil lines.

Not sure if I'm going to change the position yet, probably not though. Have you worked out where the vaccum pipe from the actuator goes? There isn't anywhere on the turbo to connect it to?:*

Vaccum on actuator goes to boost control valve T:

 

[JonT4]

It then needs to go from the boost controller back into the system somewhere to create a loop. Normally it would go from the actuator back onto the compressor housing but we don't have that luxury with the Volvo blower. I have had the hoses for the intercooler made to order and will fit a take off for the vacuum pipe into one of those and guesstimate the pressure loss. £23 for a 5mm take off! To be honest, the way the price is spiralling I would definitely use VW parts if I were to do it again. The oil feed pipe had top be specially made and it also involved me shaping the bulk head around it (with a hammer)I: The oil return pipe will need to be custom made using the flanges from both ends and adapted. The cost.......fook knows. At the minute I'm wishing
I'd left it alone. I am waiting for a few more bits and hopefully I will get the exhaust made and fitted on Saturday, play with fueling and EGT on Sunday, work on Monday again and then try and get it on the RR for a run and some fine tuning. Hopefully if all is well I should see a decent increase in torque over standard. BHP would be a total guess but I would like 110 horses with sensible tuning for reliability.

Good luck T:

The Oil feeds & return for the Turbo are my biggets headache but got some custom bit knocked up.

Hows the Turbo clearance on the Bulkhead, is it very tight.

There is plenty of room for the turbo. The intercooler pipes are a bit of an ar-se though. I'm running in 51mm and would say that is the limit for clearance from the turbo through the gearbox linkage area. On the cold side of the pipework I relocated the washer bottle and drilled a 60mm hole through the body to link up. I will try and get some pics up later. I should be up and running later on today and will hopefully have the exhaust made tomorrow. My EGT gauge still hasn't turned up after 10 days! So won't be able to set the fueling and boost until it arrives.
