I do love it mate. :)

Paid £3700 for it.

I needed a bigger motor to replace the DCi but still needed to be suitable for moving engines and other car related rubbish round the country. A 530d seemed to be the only sensible option really as I can't stand anything made by VAG. Here she is. 2003 E39 530d Msport Touring. I have to...

Dan gets my vote.

Yeah man. Can't wait to get it sorted.

These are all 6j Porkie has 6j front and 9j rear.

Not to push it round the garage, get it SVA'ed and get use to the car one very low boost. I'll buy a set of 4 wider ones when at a later date to make 2 sets of wheels.

Couple more of the ERST because I think that's really cool too. :)

Oh I also brought some new wheels for it too.

Finally had a chance to start making some progress. I've dropped the car off with my mate who does a bit of fabrication work. He owed me a favour after i did some work for him on his 280bhp Zetec Turbo Citron C2. (Just because it's so cool.... Pics) He has started to fit the engine...

DCi 65's don't have MAF sensors. The sensor in the air box of a 65 is an air temp.

From the MAP sensor that is.

Mine doesn't have a MAF and it reads the boost perfectly?

Or did you mean the possition sensor? That's through the engine mount and triggers from the pulley.

You do it in the map.

Haven't read all the tread yet but I will add this, The pump is used in conjunction with a lift pump on the mk3 Clio according to Adam at Renault. I'm going to try a lift pump on mine. Also the engine is used in the Nissan Quasqui. What pumps do they run as they have good power as standard.

Raising the fuel pressure in the rail is useful. It allows you to back the duty cycle off the injectors or allows you to flow even more fuel through the injector. It's also harder to loose the pressure in the rail if it's higher.

There is a position sensor on the pumps on a DCi so it knows weather to fire 1or4 or 2or3. The crankshaft sensor only knows TDC so could be either 1or4

I'm glad you made the correct choice. How awesome is that diff!!!

On an N/A car?

Indeed. Your generic map from K-Tec was absolutely spot on! Couldn't fault it if I tried. Sadly. Your car is the only one I can say that about though.

It's sucking air! Unless it had 20l of cleaner in it, it will be fine. 300bar at cranking is also more than enough pressure for it to fire. Crank sensor??

Are you sure?!?? CR Turbos use there own actuators. I must of had 20-25 turbos off them this year all with the new type CR Turbos actuator. Another CR vote here.

I wouldn't be doing anything at all that involves spinning over the engine until you know the full story with the cambelt.

Just to add to Chips post to make it a bit clearer. You want that line as straight as posable just under the 13.0 line. You will never get a dead straight line but you could certainly get it better than that.

Aren't KTec an MOT station too?

There's 2 Reasons. 1. He actually doesn't know what the hell he's on about Or 2. He wants to fob his mistakes on to the customer to earn more revenue for Ktec. I genuinely can't understand any other explanation.

That was what they blamed for Ellen's map being so far out! Andy Cutler lied directly to my face knowing exactly who I was, saying the lambda adaptions had changed the whole map and was the whole reason her map had gone lean. When I didn't buy that lame excuse, he then blamed conflicting code...

I believe the supercharger failed at FCS after talking to him on Facebook.

Yeah man. Still a little disappointed with the lack of chocolate on my pudding, apart from that, lovely meet. :)
