I’ll take the block if you do split

Saturdays are normally reserved for me looking after the three year old and 4 month old so my wife can get some horse related stuff done. But I’m running out of time before we go to spa so both boys had to “help” me get bits done on the car. First thing for this morning was fitting a turbo...

I’ve got the same wheel, used the buttons below for the horn, plugged in and worked perfectly. https://volantech.co.uk/products/2-button-panel?_pos=1&_psq=2+buttt&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Have just been under the car in the rain trying to sort this. Tried to nip It up but it’s tight, weeps a little still. I’ve come to the same conclusion as you, going to remove the copper washer and replace with a dowty washer. By chance do you know if it’s the same size as the sump plug washers...

Looks like the leak is coming from the banjo bolt where the line fits to the pump. Going to clean it off and give it 1/4 turn and see if that cures it.

Made the early morning trip 80 miles to engine dynamics to get the car mapped. A friend follow me up in his cup to keep me company, that an I think he just wanted to go for a drive. It’s a pretty dull drive from mid Sussex. A22, M25, then the A12 and we’re there. Got there for 8.15 little bit...

Ill ping one over tomorrow

I’ve got the shifter tower plus the linkage which you welcome to have.

All sorted. Came back with code DF110 (I think), which is a destructive misfire. Turned out to be water had got into the plugs, need to find a way to get the magnecor leads to seal better.

Megane ones that come with the kit. Injectors and plugs are new.

it’s got the base map put on the ecu. I know it going to run badly with the base map on it more why it’s thrown the engine management light. Spoke to ED and he said the EML will be a separate issue so needs sorting before it goes for mapping.

i know…….. shouldn’t have fitted a turbo. Was maybe being naive when I expected it to last more than 30 miles before it’s s**t itself.

Evening all. Picked my newly converted cup up on Friday after my mate finished fitting ED kit along with a decaf and a few other bits. Have got the mapping booked for two weeks time. As advices in sticking some miles on the car to check for any leaks etc….. While driving it on Saturday there was...

Has anyone used or has one of these generic diagnostic code readers that are any good? Would be easier to do bits at home rather than having to take to my mate and get him to do it. Cheers all

Thank you all.

Are the phase 1 172 and phase 2 172 subframes the same?

After a few weeks away the cars back. Mate who does the work for me is a busy man so it’s get done around his better paying jobs. While it’s was with him he fitted, ED low boost turbo kit Mocal oil cooler Evol engine and gearbox mount NorthLoop rebuilt box with Quaife diff Lightened flywheel...

Have ended up buying the wilwood kit off another member who bought it and never fitted it. Those of you who’ve got the jamsoprt kit what did you do about replacement discs? Don’t want to put the toyota discs back on when I wear them out.

Is there any reason I can’t put an adapter into the factory oil pressure switch port to run an aftermarket gauge?

I put them on the car last year when I bought it as one injectors had failed so bought a new set of four. Have probably done 500 miles if that

If you do want the injectors let me know. Should be getting the car back next week with all the now redundant parts. Can also ping you the invoice to show they’re not copies.

What spacers did you have to run to clear the wheels? Got 2118’s on mine with et43

Is this the jamsport Wilwood kit?

£100 delivered. Paid £200 so guessing they’re worth half.

You put up a very solid argument for getting them

I’ve got a set of pretty much new injectors for a 172 if that’s what you need?

In the final stages of the turbo conversion being finished. Are the standard 172 cup brakes good enough for track days or is it worth converting to the 197 brembos while I’m shovelling money into the car. Cars currently brembo discs with PBS track pads.

I’ve got a set of AD08RS fitted to the car in 205 50 15 flavour. How would these fair as a wet track tyres, seem to have plenty of grooves for moving water. Would like to get a set of AR1’s fitted to my other wheels for dry tyres.

Also there’s no way that the damage wasn’t know about. Mines rough as but I know where all the damage is.
