Back on standard inlet and ECU, just the mapping to sort out for the cams now, then it's ready for it's new owner. The trumpets most definitely have not been brought on [/IMG]

from the 1st video, the post cat lambda is not doing what it should. At idle you normally see a rock solid 450mv, it shouldn't be switching at all doesn't mean that sensor is at fault though, I'm still thinking pre cat lambda, but it may be an injector fault

all labour really. If it were me I'd have it apart with the parts soaking in something to break down the carbon for as long as possible, but probably a couple of hours labour in it

fit the upper bracket fully, slide the caliper over so you can fit the pad nearest the piston, slide that pad in making sure the tab on the back of the pad engages with the slot in the piston, pull the caliper across and slide in the next pad. Stop trying to assemble the pads in the upper part...

EGR valve and boost pipes coked up. Very common, diesels need a regular thrash to keep healthy, but rarely get it as they're bought for economy so they get pansied about and it chokes them.

where did you get the pads from? you can get the exact same pad but twice as thick for the front of handful of cars

No I'm keeping those for something else

put it back together before fitting the pads

Ph1's have a 30% larger exhaust port, and the CNC machining on the inlet port is marginally different (it's very slight). ph2 172 and 182 uses the same throttle body There certainly is a difference in the maps too, infact there's several versions of the ECU with slight changes. There's...

Jenvey make lots of different throttle bodies, none specifically for the 197. They do a 65mm and a 70mm that I know have been used before, but they're nit straight bolt on

that's exactly why the loom has the updated section available :)

WHAT??? the worst mine gets to round town is 25. how the hell are you driving????

should still be better on the motorway though. My ITB'd 172 averaged over 40 on the motorway at several beans from Southampton to Bedford

1.2s aren't economical. You have to drive them hard to make any progress and just keep up. under powered and shifting a fair weight around

there's no getting round an attention seeking troll

should be closer to 40 without a lot of dificulty you have an issue unless you're in stop start traffic and country lanes literally all the time. Most cars I see are 36-38mpg with mixed driving. I can make a cup do 44mpg with little effort

no, the cable throttle is actually slightly smaller than the FBW throttle

not to the point I have any news. Aiming to give it back so you can fit it over christmas break though

most 197's have a keyed sprocket so it's not always necessary. However without knowing beforehand you'd be guessing I Still want to know why it's being removed

clusterfuck of an ordering system. they've not even taken my payment yet, just pre-approved it

Yes, 182 manifold and an....."adapted" cat I can work magic if you let me Russ ;) are you not allowed bonnet pins? You won't get a chance to go in it though unfortunately. I'm selling up and moving on to the next project now. I've done all I can with this in the current direction and I'd have...

very. Something satifying about N/A tuning.

what is the lambda doing? I had this conversation yesterday "both lambdas are the same on live date, so it's fine" well there's the problem....

Give me a few weeks and I'll do a back to back test on the dyno for you. No gain, don't buy it.

no, it gives you more throttle opening for less pedal movement. It's snake oil. Utterly pointless modification. I'm willing to bet most that have done this are using knackered sparkplugs and run in 95RON fuel

looks like it's for a 1.2

you need to pin the crank through the hole in the front of the block. What are you trying to do?
