how much did u pay for the cambelt change ?

[NollingtonHards]

Yeh, 0-60 7/8 seconds 120hp and 200+ something torque. 306 engines are much easier to fiddle with i believe.
He was also telling me about someone who's built a 200hp XUD9 with a mahussive intercooler and bigger turbo etc

You got your accelerator fixed??

i find it very hard to beleive a 130hp xud let alone a 200bhp xud

not done the cable yet mate got no cash yet, had a problem on ebay, its a long story but im aprox 600 squid out of pocket from yesterday ...

He hasn't had it dyno'd but when you read it, it all it does seem to make that HP easily and its on veggie oil

I paid £220 for Cambelt, Water pump, Idlers/Tensioners and Coolant which i think is a very good deal. He knew the engine and just got straight in there

I read a bit about the ebay stuff mate, sorry to hear it. Must be a sh*te situation to be in and hope that somehow it gets completely resolved

Also that link that jamjar1383 posted looks very interesting, should keep me reading it for a good 10mins.

Some people are doing some mad thing with these engines

what oil did u use mate ?

Erm i left the bottle in the car i can find out though.( I just found the Euro Car Parts receipt) it was Valvoline Semi-Synthetic 10W40 5Ltr for £17.74.
Still got a litre left so handy for topping up

Hows the veggy oil going?? i want to switch to it soon

The arms just have to go vertical i.e. turn the wipers on let them go to the top and turn the power off. After that open the bonnet, undo one screw in the middle and the rest just pulls out. Very Very easy job
