soarer if it was a v8.....but it's not. the Trueno is really cool, dont worry about the lack of power from it, you'll be laughing too much every time you drive it to care

he already has ITBs, Omex, cams and headwork, all that's lacking from the normal F4R N/A tuning route really is high compression pistons and forged rods

check you're getting fuel through the rail and going out into the return then.

are you running a ph1 fuel rail or did you modify the ph2 rail?

yes, it was exhaust wrap and it worked very well. only bad thing was it didn't harden as it never got hot

it's more than that, but that's because there's a fiesta with a turbo as standard so you can use second hand parts

getting rid of the battery and not having the filter right behind the radiator makes a huge difference. the GDI demo 182 hasn't run that setup since about Feb BTW. Been on throttle bodies for quite a while now. Dont remember ever having a viper on the 182. I know I've only worked at GDI...

best setup I've seen was a K&N on a relocated inlet pipe (3 inch steel pipe with heatwrap) putting the filter just below the headlight. Lowest inlet temperatures Andy had ever seen on the rollers while mapping

they're not BAD, just overpriced. DIY is popular because it works and achieves the same thing

that's what the K-tec stage 1 turbo kit does :) (possibly even without the different gasket)

just occured, I may have missed it but have you got a different cal on the ecu to let you run the bigger injectors?

robbing c***s. shout at them and leave

pmsl, no way. Like i already said, I did it the other day, less than an hour to take the sump off

simple things first, HT leads the right way (1 is flywheel end), crank sensor plugged in, coil plugged in, ecu plug on correctly doh, too slow, got distracted lol

was going to say, about 150-200 including parts. £380 is a piss-take

depends on the revs you use really though. If you could keep peak power under 7k and didn't rev much past that, the rods would probably last a while. End of the day though, they're quite flimsy and it's not expensive to get quite reasonable quality reliable replacements. Cheaper to upgrade than...

to be fair, they nearly ALL weep to a certain extent, even with very low milage

pmsl, or buy 50 for £6 from a fasteners supplier hehehehe

6.5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lazy workshy muppets. 2-2.5 hours I recon. Had one off the other day.

get looking for a new job now, and spend what you've got back from selling the non standard bits on more POWAAH :D

Truly cannot wait to get this on the ramp :D:D

bloody aweful having to put something together when you didn't strip it, I'd charge just as much from a stripped state as having the complete broken engine to pull apart. Takes twice as long to find anything if the bits aren't where you would have put them.

should be able to get a clio specific NTK (same company as NGK) sensor from a local motor factor for around the £50 mark

It's something I've been looking at. They're not baffled as standard and I'll probably make some simple trapdoors to go in ours as it's almost solely used on track. An Accusump system is the other option, though it's a little more complex than some flaps

I've seen funny things like this happen when one of the filamants in a twin bulb breaks and touches the other. Was a bit more extreme though, the popups on my 200sx would come up when pressing the brake lol, Air-brake FTW

pretty sure they'd only be allowed to refuse to do the test rather than just fail it as getting on the ramp isn't a part of the test. The test center we use has their 4 poster sunk into the floor, so there's no ramp to go up.

heard there's only around 50 left on the road in the UK. superb little machines

as long as there's some travel (to prove it's not seized) and nothing fouls you should be ok

oh and just noticed, only ph1 runs the idle control valve, ph2 and 182 is done by the FBW throttle

i'd get some new bolts on there for a start. split the join, clean it all up with a wire brush, then use some silicon (much better on exhausts than exhaust paste) and with the new bolts get it done up nice and tight. Worn hangers will not be helping as the exhaust swinging about will loosen up...
