that pesky leaking ghia

it drives me crazy, as it is really had to operate. i got one leak less, but it still leaks somewhere. have to go to fix the second one. than im ready for the next ones. maybe its just like p.laitinen told me, that the hoses might be toasted, of the E85. that would be awful. but as always, Pekka might be right on this. :-(

i would like to get the engine running again. summer is pretty short in here.

ghia update


The right side wasn't all that bad, things went pretty fast, 
the gasket was looking bad - a new one should do the trick,
 the spark plugs were changed also,
next thing will be the smoke leak tester...
jimi was really helpful, maybe we will get this in the dyno asap.
but i´m not waiting for huge numbers...

turbo-ghia troubleshooting part 3

 Ok so far what i know, is that the tube with the bow leaks a tiny bit of air, as i changed it to a straight pipe without welds or any BOW. now the tubes from the turbo to the end of intercooler is ok for me. BUT, today i tested the part from intercooler to the T-inatkemanifold, AND couldn't get any pressure to that. so the leak must be massive. i took it out of the ghia, as i want to get a better view what can be done, or is it useless... looks like the culprit is the china-throttle body. as it was before too. but i have to test it before I'm sure. IF the manifold setup is good from the T-shaped manifold, this thing could be running better one day. It was around -5 degree Celsius today, so my fingers were frozen in this hobby. i should get it to a warm garage, but there's ice and snow so picking up the ghia is not possible right now.


re check the 1 part of the tubing, with a better compressor, 


OK the bad part seems to be the part from china.
any better solutions?

Ghia update 5/2019


not the coolest looking lay-out, but theres a lot of parts in there.


there's not much of space for the air cleaner

one big step with this, i have now a new K&N air filter, 
not an easy task. check out the space ...
the ghia also starts pretty good, but i have to get the tailpipe done.
then i have to bleed the brakes once again. 
but hopefully a test drive - pretty soon.
