Stu Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Apparently not, should raise the compression. I've also had oversized pistons Yeah, but it need very precise timing then and also 98 Unleaded ..what power can this make? With a healthy engine, de-cat and suitable remap it might be knocking on 150bhp. Yes it will need SUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 3i Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'll try and get it on as soon as I can, but with recent issues the car my girlfriend gas been giving me grief I'm hoping for it to be on next week (and hopefully running). We will see if running higher compression and 2.0 injectors rather than 1.8 ones will make a difference Oh stu - define healthy engine? One with good compression etc?

Andy 3i Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 I like the yellow against the red stands out. Yeah, I think that's why I decided in yellow. I was half tempted to have it red but I thought it was too much red...plus I have yellow calipers andy why is it still in bits??? not like you to ditch it for the girlfriend Because it makes for an easier life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 3i Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well it's back together and it runs! Although I forgot to put the gasket between the inlet and the sandwich plate which I will sort out later. Detonates a fair bit but it hasn't got super unleaded in...just normal 95 until I can afford to put some in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 If you can hear it audibly from in the car then that's very bad det! I'd avoid using it until you get some SUL in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 It's not insured at the moment so there's no danger of that. I'll try some v power...hopefully that will mix with what's left in the tank (about a fivers worth of 95). I think it's going need mapping sooner rather than later tho...

Andy 3i Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 I got round to putting the gasket on the inlet...and now it doesn't idle at 4k! . The other thing I have noticed is that it's not at all lumpy like it used to be...I'm guessing my cam timing was slightly out before (also rather broken). Detonation wasn't so bad this evening but I'm still going to wait and put some better fuel in . Hopefully it's on the road to recovery! The only snag I have now is that if you take the car high in the revs - 4.5-5k for example...it sometimes dies. The revs drop right off and the rev counter goes to nothing...dip the clutch and it fires right back into life (not bump starting). It's almost like you've put on pause . Once it's running it might have a spaz and run at 3k for about 3-4 mins or it can be perfectly fine. Don't suppose it's something anyone has ever come across?

Stu Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I suspect dodgy wiring. Please resolve before you bring it for mapping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
