3.0 litre conversion - latest update.

Postby Tony Smith » Thu Jul 21, 2005 2:38 pm

Another set back or 2! Finally the engine made it into the car only to find the water pipes emerging from the bulk head fouled on the balancer shaft rocker cover. This wasn't too much of a problem as cutting them back a couple of inches solved that issue, the water hoses were still long enough to reach fortunately. But the next problem no one had anticipated and it took some head scratching to find out what the problem was. On V6 engines fitted with 4 wheel drive gearboxes the flywheel has the tdc pick-up approx 15 degrees further round the flywheel. This was too much for the car too start unfortunately as it might have been possible to alter the timing on an aftermarket ecu. This is the only flywheel thats different on any of the prv6 engines! So the engine has been out and the flywheel changed and is now ready to go back in! I'm hopeful of it being driveable for the next Ace Cafe meet.

Tony, is this the car you promised to push to Bromley. You must be tighter than me in not paying to join a gym and get fit. The Ace Cafe is even further for you I guess? Should tone up a few more muscles for you.

Doh!

The flywheels on the Safrane Biturbo, Laguna V6 and low comp Safrane V6 are all the same. All of the igntion is advanced 15 deg's because of the lower compression, this is how they make the same factory power as their high compression counterparts.

The 610 ecu and Safrane BT ecu are completely different, and is designed to work with this advanced setup.

Hard to push with no wheels!!!

Postby Tony Smith » Tue Jul 26, 2005 8:57 pm

The pushing things going to be hard with no back wheels attached! And will have to push it to the MOT station first - and it won't pass as they won't be able to check the emissions so I can't get tax to even push it to events!
