Chip what's your turbo mapped to at WOT out of interest?

Yes it is! You need an adaptor mini loom for the TPS plug but I would imagine that came with the DTH kit.

Just to state the obvious it looks like a light metallic grey rather than anything close to black, is this my eyes / photo playing tricks or is it like that in real life, i only ask as i want to repaint mine this week and want to get it right first time :) also did you use primer?

What paint is that? thats a very OE silver looking colour, the sort of things im after.

Intersting, sounds like a car horn with a shite earth! Some sort of valve pruging pressure? wild stabs in the dark here.. lol

People generally generally stand round like freezing penguins while someone has there bonnet up talking abou tthere engine and what power they think it will make :D

Get your calculator out, find the compressor map for the turbo and get number crunching!

Re: Gearbox questions - Clutch,gearbox torque values, subframe bolts and starter moto YOu'll never get a torque wrench into the gap of most the bell housing bolts, just do them FT

I would hardly call the standard loom unreliable??I'd say the faults with the standard loom are very much overshaowed on this forum by the norm of people using omex's running 4th hand looms made by their grans with tesco value crmp connectors!

General public get the tuner lite software

You could have treated yourself to some new renault discs (inc new bearings) both sides for £100, and fitted them in not a lot of time. Heck you should have provided the discs to the garage to fit and the bill probably would have come to £160 but youd have yourself new bearings and discs both...

I believe it has a high content of ethanol which can "go off" quicker than say Vpower. But the rate mine chomps through fuel its a pretty regulat sight on the forecourt and therefore not much of a problem lmao Im very wary of fuel now, i've had 2 pistons crack on me through detonation.

I used tesco 99.... but only because its mapped for it!

drive steady for last 2 minutes, pull up on driveway, engine off simples :)

The ring is such a cruel mistress :(

I quite like that reasoning. Nail and head!

Gotcha! so is there a platform inside the the tank the housing located onto to sit it square? and then the ring comrpesses down? or does the houising just bottom out on the tank floor? This is all new to me to be fair, first time ive ever even removed or fettled with a fue pump / sender unit.

I did think that, but i cant actually figure out why a spring is needed, and why it would only be installed one side? Screwing the mouting ring doesnt cause it to compress in any way?

That would have been too easy ;) I dont know what tube to use that can bend over that radius without kinking.

Noo ill still be low boost at that point looking to up the boost in April :approve: my mate at work here said he would come too (classic mini)

Put me down for this only a bit over an hour for me :)

Well nothing much to report, took the plunge to replace the turbo studs and nuts, a good 6-7 hour job at a leisurely pace, not fun at all but all done, i am VERY surprised at the difference a small leak can make betwen manifold an turbo, since ive changed it all it 100% is boosing better, and...

Heres my old graph, co-incdently 204bhp peak like the 421'd car lleywelyn drove. Couldnt be any further from flat if it tried. Wonder if the car wasnt running right?

Sorry if this is blindingly obvious where is the confirmed venue? Has it moved away from veizu?

Damn, my recessed tip is carbon black/brown, better get the polish out :P

I didnt really think putting 421's over stock cams on my engine made enough of a difference to warrant the money. Made a heck of a difference to the induction nosie though.
