Hi,

J21 of the M6 - JapNorthWest meet.

Cheers,

Paul.

I've got a few shims spare from my engine rebuild too.....and a couple of bolts for that matter...

Only trouble with giving bolts away is that I'll give them away then I just know I'll need them the week after!!

Cheers,

Paul.

That sounds cool mate, I imagine if we leave at 4:30 we should be at 16 by maybe 5:15 allowing for tea time traffic. How's that with you for time? Cheers Mark Hi, That should be OK mate. I've booked half the day off work. So I'll give the car a polish etc and join you for 5:15 as you say!! Cheers, ...

Hi,

I'll be joining the M6 from J16. could meet up on the way?

Cheers,

Paul.

Call turbo dynamics and see if they can help.

A grainger valve on it's own wont help no. But disabling the TVSV should bring the boost down.

Paul.

Sure would Paul. Only kidding in the last post dude. No worries :) Actually...it was nice to make 18psi for a bit....it was bloody quick... I tested it in 4th gear. put foot down from about 50mph - aarrghhhh..I'm doing 95!! how did that happen! lol...looked at the boost guage....ohhh xxxx!! I'll lo...

would disabling the Tvsv and fitting a grainger valve bring the boost back down and allow me to set it properly?

Cheers,

Paul.

Sit back, floor it and enjoy

And watch my engine run lean and go pop!! dont think so!!

Paul.

jonno wrote:Did you change the actuator when you rebuilt it?

the actuator also came from the same GT4.

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi, My car is finally run in after I rebuilt it and I did my first test today under boost. I fitted my boost guage and the FCD. I set off and floored it, it's boosting to 18psi!! arrghhhh!!! too much boost!! how can I get it down?? to clarify - the car is a rev1 turbo and I did the following to it: ...

I've got one of these and am going to try fit it this weekend. Looks like i'll need to get some vac pipe! Hi, One more question, there are three wires coming from the unit. the black one is earth I take it?? Wjhat about the other two? one to acessory and the other to the headlight circuit? which is...

Cheers mate. I found a kink in the tube!! d'oh!!

hi,

Worked it out myself. plumbed it into the same vac pipe as the boost sensor. works a treat!

Paul.

nisnos wrote:any vac line you like really.
the power is just for the back light.

is yours in psi?

mine is in bar

hi,

well I've plumbed it into the vac hose that the pressure sensor is attached too...dont get a reading off the guage though??

Mines in PSI, yeah.

cheers,

Paul.

Cheers mate.

wheres the best place to attach the vacuum hose in the engine bay?

Also, do you know if the guage needs power to read off psi?

Cheers,

Paul.

hiya,

Anyone got a pic of where the boost guage should be plumbed in, in the engine bay? Cheers,

Paul.

Hiya, I bought a Swoosh boost guage off of ebay to fit to my tubby. Now the guage looks OK, but the fittings all look wrong. The kit comes with a very tiny tube to go from guage to engine bay. There are a load of adapters and bits and pieces and a T piece, but they dont seem to fit together. Anyone ...

I'll try and get some pics of the exhaust tomorrow

Paul.

Ditto everything michael has said. But also to reiterate the fact that they are a *big* car... much more of a GT car/ high speed cruiser, thats not to say they're not fast... they are, and decievingly so. I'd reccomend you drive both the auto and 6-speed TT and decide which you feel suits you; I fi...
