Did it look like this? Cant be bothered stripping the engine out tonight so will have to wait for the weekend. Ive started to pull a few bits off. Looks ALMOST as if the gasket round the water pump has gone though? The water is NOT getting pressurised when hot, just leaking out round here. http://ww...

You've totally changed the VE of the engine, the mapping will be totally different.

Get it mapped.

I had one of those adapters too, I now have a proper manifold and wastegate (60mm). Just couldn't get it reliable with the adapter.

I've a fused live taken from the main live in the fusebox.

Check the base ignition timing as a starter for 10 (did you have the dizzy off?), then look at your cam timing- make sure you've referenced TDC correctly... Hi I did as above and tried to set to 10 degrees with TE1 and E1 of the check connector linked with a wire, however the timing was still danci...

has it actually been mapped ? Of course ignition timing makes a massive difference, but the lumpy idle could be your timing, or you could have a mad amount of blowby or melted pistons of course. Did you degree the cams properly, ie NOT using the timing mark on the engine but finding real TDC with a ...

just get the right flange welded in.

handbrake could do with some adjustment !

Well, it seems that the oil is going somewhere. No smoking or visible leaking from the engine, as a matter of fact, it's very clean underneath. No smoking on boost as far as I can see. Exhaust doesn't smell of oil.. But the oil level was just over low this morning. When firing up the car first thin...

another vote for a socket and hammer here too.

I also bung a little double sided tape up the inside of the socket to catch the collets.

To compress, any old valve spring compressor works. The one I have has a bar you bolt to the head - I use the cam cover bolt holes

US based ebay sellers.

I got the sleeves from engine logics and had them installed for £400.

Got them bored to 86mm.

Some people like them, some don't - but I'll tell you this - I recently had all 4 pistons melt after a hard run, and the bores are all still perfect. Not even a scratch!

head gasket on properly ?

Either that or you've a blocked pickup - too much RTV or the likes

BCR8ES are escort RS turbo plugs

fidanza gears are much cheaper. Obviously buy from the states.

maybe the windscreen leaking

The heater matrix is in front.

Just fitted some 245/40-17 falkens to the back of my -30mm mr2 and I'm getting a little arch rub so I need names of places locally that can do this or where I can hire an arch roller. Just got a local quote and they wanted £140 for two arch's :shock: Cheers Paul You could buy an arch roller for tha...
