Been tarting my engine bay up and have inadvertently caused an issue. Firstly when I put the key to the on position (not start position) the starter motor engages which is obviously incorrect, I tested each wire at the starter relay connector and they responded as expected. I then took the cover off...
Old post I know but have a question that applies, is this a suitable sealant for the three hi-lighted areas when installing cam cover? http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/head-gasket-exhaust-repairs/loctite-5699-premium-silicone-grey-gasket-maker-sealant?cm_mmc=Google+PLA-_-Garag...
I did a track day at snetterton in February, drive by limit was 96db I think. Either way I have a screamer pipe which is pretty loud on drive by and had no issues mainly due to (like others have said) the sensors are quite far off the track. In comparison I did goodwood in December with driveby of 9...
Looking for some info, has anybody used this bolt and washer set from mr2ben? Having my cover resprayed so looking to replace them. https://mr2-ben.co.uk/products/660 Also on the subject, would people advise me to change the seals/ gaskets for the cam cover even if they were only replaced about 2000...
I wasn't very clear, there is no wideband sensor installed now, just a blanked bung on the downpipe, so correct me if I'm wrong but it'll just be running an open loop system whereby the fuel isn't trimmed to suit real world conditions/ o2 feedback, What I'm unsure on is whether this is a good or bad...
Yeh I've got 4 all of which are disconnected and have partially melted whilst flapping around, I have no idea what is happening re: o2 sensor, there is a bung on the downpipe where they must have plumbed a wide band sensor for mapping then I don't know for adjustments whilst running? Anyone with mor...
Will be interesting to see what it makes next time round. My track car will be similar I think... Fully forged 5SGTE Brian Crower oversize valves, springs, retainers, guides GSC cams with HKS cam gears GT3076 turbo with TTE (not WRC!) exhaust manifold 3.5" exhaust system Huge boot mount IC wit...
What is the current tune - 431hp? Is was dyno'd at 431hp at 1.7bar. But when road checking it afterward when aggressively shifting it was detting so lost some ignition. I've also sincere turned the boost down a touch to try to stop gaskets on the exhaust side falling to pieces. It needs some more d...
It's the gauges associated with the control unit v1, guessing the bf link meter. I took the gauge apart and rightly or wrongly moved the needle to the stop pin plugged it back in and nothing. Seems pretty goosed. Short of totally disassembling I don't know what to do, but even if I do take it apart ...
Wondering if anyone has experience in this or similar story with a fix, my defi boost gauge decided to freeze today at-0.4, even when powered off and removed it stuck at -0.4?
note its one of the original types not the advance bf.
cheers
Cheers, I was unsure about them and is one of those jobs that it looks a lot worse before it gets better haha just have to stick to your guns and have faith. This was a before and after first rough cut to show how high I took it, imo there was no point leaving unecessary metal, just extra weight and...
Thanks for the comments guys. Turbo is a 3076r. Developement from recent track activity, drivers side front wheel has serious play, and on inspection looks like inner steering rack rod end has play in it, so will replace both inners and track rod ends. Also breaks feel spongey so going to replace th...
Progress on the car since last update, let pictures do the talking, finished arches, made up a front splitter and got it on track. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s276/mattw_99/4789DC88-09AA-41E1-81FD-6996818FD0E0.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s276/mattw_99/FF24479D-B623-4511-8C5B-764320...
