Re: Has anyone else found a tubby can be very eco friendly?

I've just had a Rev3 tubby conversion from a UK spec Rev1 N/A, and my mpg has increased, even running the same journey into work and back and booting it, with mild breathing mods and upped boost. Result! Last tank got me 29.6 mpg and for half of that mileage, I was driving with diving boots :thumlef...

HKS EVC4 setup

Hi,

Can anyone help me because I am lost with this thing #-o

How the hell do I set this thing up in English please as it's doing my nut in, and probably not any good to my tubby!

Re: Boost leak on Rev 3 turbo

that's your blow off valve opening slightly mate, take it off and try another :thumleft: this happens when you're on boost with the throttle partially open. i'm about 90% on this :thumleft: :thumleft: EDIT: forgot to say, if this isn't the cause of your boost problems, then chances are it's control...

Boost leak on Rev 3 turbo

Hi everyone, Can you confirm our suspicions of a boost leak and where to start looking? From about 1/2 way through this video you can hear it. http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n74/kgbrisc1/Theos/th_Turbo_zps034d5bac.jpg I'm also having a problem whereby the car seems to lose power intermittently, ...

Re: 3 Today, Kerry Foods, A456 and cleobury mortimer.

Re: Japshow Finale 2009. Sunday 4th October. Santa Pod

If you have a Rain-Off ticket from last year you will not get a stand pass - unless you have posted it off to Donna @ Santapod already. A Rain-Off ticket on the Day will get you a £10 discount on your ticket price as far as i have been told, but NO stand pass. We still have advance tickets and show ...

Re: How much petrol once the light comes on?

i only put a tenner in at a time, less fuel=lighter car, or lighter rear end , which means more control and less fuel consumption!!

Re: Help! Engine Dead

I'm thinking the coil is firing but just not delivering enough spark. New plugs and Leads too so i know they are fine. I'm going to check the AFM too to make sure that's not stuck closed. It's somewhat reassuring when you can check engine codes, but when you can't even do that it's a bit frustrating...

Hoping someone could give me some advice (so i can get to JAE!!) (3VZ-FE by the way) Recently the CEL kept on coming on and flagging code 55 (front bank knock sensor). Checked the wiring and it was shot so repaired it. Took it for a spin but still flagged the code. Filled up with 95 RON (I had previ...
