Surprised i've only just seen this, amazing colour, looks lovely.
Thanks mate
yeah i love Capri green
Fair amount of updates, though not so many pictures. Met Pete g40
such a helpful bloke! would be so stuck without his help
Started to rebuild my charger last weekend, it was well and truly overdue, PSD must have done it back in 2005 or so. long story short i ended up breaking my timing casing where the apex seals sit, stupid mistake but bought toms r1 charger and the internals where nice and smooth whereas my PSD one was really worn! so awaiting on the r1 casing to be welded up so i can completely rebuild it, for now its running a Full blend outlet, new scroll bearing and seals and gave it all a really good clean, put it back on the car until i get a hold of the R1 outlet
my full blend, well worn!!!
The R1 all cleaned up with new seals and scroll bearing
half and half lol
Finally got my G60 injectors after waiting 3 bloody weeks!! turned out they were sent to the wrong address! the guy on ebay got really shirty with me. completely stopped the pinking
happy man, runs much better now, small things like when you turned the engine off it used too sound awfull but sounds perfect now
The thing im most happy about is the throttle body, got a completly standard one of tom as mine is PSD 51mm and the butter fly is a bit crap, so leaks air at idle causing it to hunt, stripped the original one and got the holes from the wedges tigd up by a mate for some beers
looks spot on! runs soooooo much better no more hunting at idle and because its not running lean at idle due to the air leak it means i can set my co pot sensor properly, runs lovely now, the transition of off change gear and back on throttle is soo much better, before it was really jerky when pulling away or anything that meant on off throttle as the ecu wasnt gradually enriching the fuel because the co pot sensor was set on zero (so it didnt stall at junctions), so the ecu thought it was broken and not knowing the engine load. well this is the theory i came up with after reading loads of digifant training manuals from back in the early 90's that my mentor lent me
also means my idle is set a rather nice 920rpm, whereas before it wouldnt go below 1000. set my timing as it was way out! my fault though, i was in a rush and must have done something wrong, so all good
fitted a full phil j exhaust system and a 4 branch i got cheap, was cracked, so a panel beater welded it up at work in return for painting a shelf of his lol. wrapped it and fitted a new NGK lambda sensor for £47! bargain! was a pain in the ass to fit!! had to grind the fudge out of the engine bracket to get it too fit
is blowing a bit as the clamps you get are pretty crap, there not a complete circle and end up squashing the exhaust at a funny angle leaving a cap, will try get a BMW one on it. not too keen on the dual exit, a bit of a communication error between me and phil, thought i was getting a single exit
got plenty more to fit, toothies, new knock sensor. sort the butterfly on the PSD throttle as its much bigger than standard
bought some stupidly wide wheels 9j front 8j rear, steffen rh cups. probably wont end up fitting them as they are too big
also fitted my last poly bush engine mount whilst it was off
have done soo much more but forgot alot lol. met Tom ethces too
lovely turbo conversion he has
thanks for all the nice comments
