Patrol GR Build.

:doh

Think I have now watched every video on the internet about Raptor Spray... And now I really think the whole Patrol should be covered!

 

[Davey Boy]

I'm gonna do my bumpers and arches at the same time.
You can adjust the gun for fine through to course finish.
After a practice, a chum did the whole of the roof of his Defender hard shell roof tent, and it looked and felt really good and tough.:thumb2

I used to do speedliner which is very similar, i still have all the kit other than a big enough compressor

As in you used to sell it?

What does the kit consist of? (Same as the Raptor stuff I'd guess?)

No. I used to spray it

 

[Jay666d]

Cool!

I think I'd be ok spraying. (Just Ok) But it's the prep I hate!

 

[Banshee]

But it's the prep I hate!

You can say that again :doh

I've had them for quite some time now, but I've eventually got round to plumbing in my Dawes and Needle Valve.

I was going to set the Needle Valve up in the cab, but have now changed my mind and make it a 'set & forget' thing.

Here's the obligatory proof of my work...

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

You had a play with them yet?, does it have a variable geometry turbo?

 

[Jay666d]

That's my job for tomorrow... And maybe Good Friday if I get it off! :naughty

It is a Variable Turbo... The needle valve will now control spool up rate as the ECU solenoid has been bypassed.

 

[Jay666d]

You can do without the needle valve if you adjust the VNT actuator stop limiting screw.... But that looked a bit fiddly! :lol

I was going to have a play with my vw t4 van until it decided that water pumps and timing belts weren't fashionable anymore:doh, 2.5l 5cyl with vnt, I reckoned some manual control and a maf amp would have been perfect for it.

So no codes thrown up or any unusual running?

 

[Jay666d]

Nope, no codes.


Fingers crossed I'll be able to tell you how she drives tomorrow.

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Lovely jubbly, on the vw I think you had to mess with something called an n75 valve and something else or the dash lit up like a christmas tree.

Don't get too carried away until you get that egt gauge in though, or you might end up with a skyline engine like mrK :lol

I believe a small adjustment of the VNT screw is required in any case, to compensate for the EGR blanking.
It's only three-quarters of a turn, but sets the platform for the introduction of the Dawes and needle valve.
I just followed Chaz Yellowfoots VNT instructions for mine, (the Aussie Dawes guru) and yep it was fiddley. I didn't even bother replacing the flaming circlip, bloody thing!:doh
