75w90 is too thin, use the proper 75w80 grade as specified. I used the Elf Tranself TRZ stuff, works lovely

absolutely text book "average mechanic" mistake that

Its not mapped, but i have been driving it around a while with the cams, the surge of torque at 3.5 - 4k is substaintailly more (along with a savage bellowing noise), the top end doesnt feel massively faster if im honest, but thats what im hopeing the mapping will bring out.

Havent updated this for a looonnggg time, since the last update i killed a bottom end on track chuffing oil eveywhere, so rebuilt the bottom end, and things are now a bit more interesting with the addition of some catcam 421's. Its being mapped at Ktec on 8th June, think people may be interested...

Meganne trophys are absolutely mental, i want :(

Says in the Youtube description it made 176bhp. @ car.crash, since when has a simple rolling road day for power runs ever meant operators have had to attach det cans?! Never had i seen that done at any rolling road day ive been to. Of course if the car is being mapped then its standard practise.

Absolutely brilliant, looks awsome :D

Have a question, the car is going for mapping next week and i naturally want it mechanically perfect to make things as smooth as possible on the day. Something has been niggling me, when cranking the car it sounds off balance, please see vid below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVo1rgTCyhU...

I've got ITB's put a set of CAt 421's in a couple of weeks ago, going to Ktec for mapping on Wed june 8th, cannot wait to see the results, feels pokey as it is :D

because the leads are integrated into the coil pack on that model

Could try using a mk1 diesel PAS pump, they are electric and would no doub tbe easier to retrofit that a mechanical. Matteh retrofitted one to his MK1 F4R'd valver.

Yes

Should all be the same really, all the maps will trim back to lambda 1 when cruising just the same as an OE map would.

How did you figure out the sensor gap, trial and error, space it off the L bracket with washers? Dont suppose either of you could get pics?

Ive got 2 old sensors knocking about, time to get creative :D

Adey / Daverb where did you get the brackets that allow a zetec sensor to fit the JC5 gearbox? and do you have a link for the specific sensor you used? im having to run my blue plug sensor with 1 bolt in to allow some adjustment to get a reliable signal, not really a permanent solution and i...

Piper 285's

Tidy rebuild! but that is a LOT of silicone on the head! hope it doesnt make its way to the sump :S

Theres no requiring to bed them in IIRC, just drive normall for a few miles and its done (i run the RC5+s), great pads :)

Definately not, the williams clutch is 200mm, the 172/Meganne clutch is 215mm, definately not compatible.

I still have nightmares about it

Set of ITB's up for sale on C16v at the minute for £800. Knock him to £700. Manifold, ECU and a few other bits (can get the 2nd hand for sure), and it wouldnt be a hugely expensive conversion compared to brand new cost.

Id say 36mm isnt enough to satisfy an F4R to its full capabilities.

Lol oops i flappy wheel sanded the gasket off of my engine block

Drive it like you stole it

That "thing" belongs in the only way is Essex, definately. Bling'in y0

If what danny says is correct, unplug the VVT solenoid and rev again see if the noise persists or not.

Mine were 150, 150, 125, 145. Piston rings were shot, havent had a chance to test new bottom end yet.

Aparently the OE piper figures are pretty naff though danny..

Id try changing the lambda sensor too
