    RandomGuy(Graham) is my friend from North Wales who is one of the original members. We'd pop up at both "volvot5.co.uk" & VPC meets with his Nissan Primera and I'd go to "NPOC" in my Volvo.

    One rattling engine:



    After some running the bottom end has gone quiet, but sounds just like a dry lifter only now!
    I'm hoping a bit of engine flush might solve this unless anyone's got any better ideas (maybe Terraclean?)
    If this doesn't fix then it'll need a strip down.

    Issue number 2 - plumes of smoke coming out of the exhaust!! I did a video, but it doesn't show up very well.
    Think it's time to strip the turbo off..

    So time for an update.

    I've got the original Turbo housing going for an upgrade, but whilst it's away I was given the idea to use the spare 18T until it returns.

    Brand new Bosch brake booster ordered and delivered.

    So in theory all it needs is manpower and a nice MOT station.

    I just need to see if I can be bothered to port the exhaust housing of the unit

    which manifold have you got Wayne ?? any favourable porting / smoothing this side has to be beneficial, can't see that it could induce lag, well in my theroy of the easier it is for exhaust gases to get from the cylinder to the turbine wheel as smoothly as possible, has got to help reduce any possible lag. As mentioned elsewhere my japanifold was modified at the turbo end as it looked restricted, so it was ground out and knife edged to try and aid flow, the other end still needs to be done, but there was no time to do it when it was fitted and the next build should have a ported head so the manifold would still need porting again to suit that, so was left as I don't like doing things twice and now there could even be an S60R manifold winging it's way here. I would like to make some sort of crude flowbench to see if there is any real world difference between them and a standard manifold, well time will tell if this happens, can't beleive no ones flowed them, in the mini circles everything is tried and tested and results are proven.

    The V40 is a cut down 5cylinder T5 manifold.

    I've got all the porting tools I need other than a high powered Dremel. I'll have to see if my weedy unit lasts.

    Recent Fbook posts have been discussing progression in this, so status to date is:

    Replacement turbo - I didn't send my old one away. For the moment I'm going to use a secondhand unit for now.

    Exhaust port was polished
    waste gate inside turbo has been enlarged by about 2mm
    Exhaust port on manifold was enlarged.

    Regiment took the usual swearing to get the lower return pipe on losing a gasket in the process needing me to hunt high and low in the garage for my spares before ordering a few online in desperation...

    Anyway with it all finally assembled the brakes and clutch were bleed with race spec fluid.

    ...... Then I remembered that the headlight module had failed.... No MOT for this last week.


    UPDATE - secondhand CEM sourced... Just need to fit and then MOT in the morning I hope..
