Yes, circlip book, not sure whats funny about that?
Matey, your first post came across a bit funny, you dont understand what I do to t/b's, iv had near 5 years of messing about with ph1 t/b's and I keep trying to expain to you iv tried this idea you have, and like all the other fixes it doesnt...
Lol the new update is the trip back up to RS tuning, and the 0-60 readout as above :)
I have also carried out a few more small modifications, which I will post up pictures of when I get home later
I will post up the graphs later when im home also :)
I thought mine was quite quiet lol
Good exhausts, but thin welding, I cracked 3 of them and my last one is still in my garage lol
Yozzasport all the way, Iv spent years messing about with different exhausts, wish Id just bought a Yozza in the first place
even when letting off it should have been over 200 easy!
10 second cars do over 140 past the line, I know the fireforce lads shut off before crossing the line but its faster than 170...
Its not the circlip that causes the movement, its wear in the spindle matey! - a new t/b is nice and tight with no wear, thats why a new one is ok.
The reason why ph2's dont have this problem is the motor that operates them doesnt have sideways movement on it, it operates 100% straight, no...
There shouldnt be any side to side movment on a new t/b, its on old ones it wears, and thats where the problem lies.
Keep ttrying your method, I hope it works for you, but with 4 different t/b's I had at once a while back, I tried moving the circlip like you, and I tried it over 1000 miles on...
Oh most probably mate, but to be honest ,for a 130k+ Clio, with just the bodies, and still with a cataylst in, if that was accurate id be over the moon!
Iv just used to for a real life impression of if any mods have done any good or not.
It was more to show the improvement that itb's can do...
Its possible to get amazing mpg from almost any car, you need to know how to drive it very economically.
My Clio gets used very hard, but its nice to know if needs be I can run it along gently and still get a genuine 40mpg if needed.
mines on 136k and is kicking out over 190bhp on itb's
just check the usual stuff, if its been looked after it will be fine.
is your user name really poopipe? lol
No, I said the side by side movement doesnt help and is part of the sticking, as the butterfly sticks, but the reason why it sticks is because of crap getting stuck down the spindle shaft in the t/b itself, moving that circlip is not solving the problem, just another temporary fix, I know this...
The middle one looks most cat 'ish', though it may have a pre cat under the manifold.
I wouldnt cut one out no mate, get a different exhaust if you want it louder, exhausts are made to produce certain back pressure, and cutting a box out will alter it
Cheers mate, its been a good test but its worth it :)
check out my project thread for more details, im looking to more mods to get it even more responsive, so watch this space :D
it sounds healthier than a lot of cars I had when I was younger lol
Oh, I need to clean the seats, do my secret Vauxhall gear shift mod, and clean out the EGR valve, just for pure comedy value
