Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project can't you use the rs tuner just to reprogram the rev limit?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I assume your using a mk1 speedo output to go to the 172 ecu? maybe it's that not being compatable? can't you use a cup or ph1 sensor?

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Coke is also very good at cleaning stuff, but has the drawback of leaving stuff sticky! lol

I already know i can move it about, with a screwdriver on the ring gear

wrecked bottom end? how and what damage? don't need that. it had a new bottom end 18 months ago at GDI for a spun con rod bearing. Grrrr

how likely are the bolts to come loose if it was fitted properly?

me thinks too

don't think so as knock sensor isn't picking it up and i've also run my running in map, which is very safe

and the flywheel teeth move without the crank moving

low. it knocks on acceleration of engine and deceleration, but not if the engine is kept at a steady rate

Right a bit of an update: Got the new belt on, and running - however top end really tappy, and knocking noise from down below on overrun. buggar got the cams out again, to find, all the lifters had locked solid! sorted that, back together again, tapping has gone but knocking is still there...

Yeah, what was it? and where did you get that tiny rad from?

Pm'd so i don't mess up the OP's thread anymore :o

yes i have, but wether it's right is another matter

I think you may have hit the nail on the head! (goes off to work out the battery comp on my omex!)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Less camber

Alternator thing doesn't work much either, tried it, in theory it should work, however for example running the coil at 12v instead of 14.5v ish, cuts the power in the spark and therefore doesn't burn as good, also the injectors are affected. Not saying it doesn't give you anything, it's just...

Yeah i just cent the old one as my pipe flaring tool wouldn't do the job

nope. you can change the rack and column if you wish or put a link pipe in. tbh it would be better to have a custom made or flexi pipe in there instead. you have to do the pipe from the top and it aint easy! lol

Ah secondhand map, But it's still not set up, tps etc? mmmmmm

Out of curiosity if you have no cable for the omex, how did you get a map loaded in? or get the omex set-up?

Change the jumper on the omex first. moving the cps closer will increase the signal, and besides these cps sensors are calibrated at that distance from the flywheel, i know i investigated it for 6 months, with my dodgy starting itbs/omex conversion. the jumper cured it no problems.

use one of the old pipes and rebend it to go to the other side, with a bit of fluid in to keep it lubricated. and blank the steering colomn ones with silicone . works fine.

7 bhp would be nice , but i doubt it some how. mine certainly didn't feel like an extra 7 when i did it. you have to use a 5pk850 because a 6 don't fit ( it rubs the plastic cam cover) and don't be a girl, you don't need electric pwr steering, mine has a standard 172 pas rack blanked off...

Have you changed the jumper in the omex?

The noise of throttle bodies will win every time, unless it's an out of the bonnet V8 jobbie, Mad Max styleee

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread F7pT is a much better idea for later on..............

mmmm, up to you if you run a std clutch, as it won't take much more than standard torque, mine was ruined with only 177 ftlbs. The uprated organic clutch is only rated to 170 ftlbs and my paddle 212 ftlbs! so running more than 220 on a standard clutch is a big risk imho

My other video, with most of us in at some point! lol e_sW71km-rI

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project just use the magnet on the back of the speaker to hold itself to the outer doorskin, easy removal too!
