Number of wheel bolts is to do with the wheel size not the torque going through the wheel. Look at an escort cosworth, delta integrale, etc that all used 15" wheels from the 80's. They all used 4 stud patterns.
Sounds like a driveshaft issue. Are they original or have they been changed? Have...
Can all be done from underneath with only one person.
I use a 1/4" ratchet with flexi joint and 4" extension on the cat side and hold the other side with a 10mm ring spanner. You will need to reach over the manifold. Tbh, not the easiest job but is doable.
Where are you going to use tape then? The hose has not sealed correctly to the fitting or the cone is not seated correctly. Could they be over tightened?
What fitting are you using for the drain? Is it the same setup I had?
Where did you get the injectors? Fancy ordering some spare o rings and I'll get you some cash for them?
Not yet, trying to load the base map on but had some issues so not happened yet. Other than that it's just fitting the cage and getting it MOT'd to run it in before mapping.
4 axle stands or 2 axle stand and 2 ramps needed. Wouldn't recommend working under a car with just a trolley jack to save me.
you'll get enough height with that.
Well done on getting the car running! :approve:
Was trying to get mine fired up over the weekend but had the wrong lead to upload the base map. Hopefully get it fired up this week.
Heat absorption will be higher with metal but as its at the front of the engine in direct airflow, heat won't be an issue.
Also, an RS2 wouldn't be any use for me as mine is for a turbo build so needs to cope with boost.
No graphs yet as its not been mapped yet. Hopefully soon!
I designed it to have the correct decrease in volume across the plenum to promote a consistant air supply to each cylinder. There are trumpets inside the plenum for each cylinder as well. The only compromise was the length of the...
I got this one made and all the parts and work that went into it for me and focrs was huge. Would need to make quite a few to make it worth it and even then the margins would not be huge.
At least all the parts required have engineering drawings now so could be reproduced.
If the car fires up and maps ok, a diff is next. I have some KW V2's which may be slightly too soft from what you're saying Chip. Might need heavier springs.
It is on the places to visit list 'once' the car is ready. lol
