Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project You don't need adjustable pulleys, only if you remove the vanos do you need an alternative pulley. the only advantage is the OE pulleys are a bit heavy vs ali ones

Can't be arsed to moan about it, i just won't use them again

Ermm where do i start! cambelt had jumped, however valves were saved because the exhaust cam bolt wasn't tight and the pulley slipped too! also found the flywheel bolts were very loose, and btw i wasn't the last one to build the engine!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project rur ftw

no 1 is at flywheel end. Cams should be other way up. Do a comp test. Could also be coil pack or crank sensor too

the cams aren't at top dead center they are 180 out, so you have in fact got no4 at top dead center. What you have said has just about covered it, tensioner, cam bolts etc. That amount out shouldn't cause it not to idle it's not that far out

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread you need to change your profile as it's alive now! Lol

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Nice one, mate

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project the original Blue Ranger is a serious team member and represented "the smart one" Until his departure, he was considered the brains of the power rangers team, creating many gadgets with which to solve problems that not even Zordon foresaw

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Who?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project :lolup::nono: don't break it again Whiteley, or you'll be fixing it all by your lonesome.............

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project learn how to drive and don't crunch the gears then :rasp:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Anyway f0xy, stop being a girl, you can still drive it with no clutch, start it in gear, and balance the throttle.......

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Valver clutch cables are a weak point anyway, is the 172 one any stronger?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project It's because you use secondhand parts, you tight arse! lol

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread We sorted the cambelt last night as it was trying to make it's way off the pulleys! maybe due to being too tight, not sure. the noise is still there but only at a certain rpm, approx 2k, like a resonating noise, not sure if it's the oil pump..... but the...

what's the wear like on the other brands compared to 888 gg compound?

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Come to think of it, it does sound a bit like that. I'll be taking the piss out of chris if it is that lol! He's got a seized f7p if that's any help lol

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread i confirmed with chris that the light is working fine, so must have oil pressure, i believe he didn't change the idler pulley on the cambelt because it was ok, but that's the only thing i can think of

Ouch, what a rip off. If you find details/ prices of the uprated one, post it up, as i may get one for when i get bigger injectors.

not be cheap on 16's. That's why i use 15's

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread if you listen to the end when you turn off, it sounds like belts squeaking to a stop

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Chris, i recon that's belt related from the you tube video

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread you can't use the pressure switch, it a switch and the pressure sender is a varible resistor. he's got oil pressure due to the light going out, and testing the pressure warning light ok.

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread It don't sound good! sort of a squeeling noise?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I was approximating, even so, i recon it'll weigh at lest 200 kgs less than standard. i was also going on my figures too, which could be a bit out ,as i gain about 2.3 bhp for every 10kgs i lose.

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread looking good

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project best is 14.1, but only had one decent run and it was overheating! that was with loads of wheelspin. Have a few issues with launches, had no probs when it was standard, but now it's a toss up between wheelspin and loads of wheelspin

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project It's not doing 11 second 0-100, there will be at least a 5% speedo error, but even so it will be quick. how much does the lambo weigh tho? a 200 bhp caterham 7 will piss all over a lambo to 100, because it only weighs 400 kgs! i recon f0xy's is a lot...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project i may have more power, but 130 kgs is not to be sniffed at, equivelent of about an extra 30bhp
