Well when I did the research between the snap on 14.4 3/8 impact and the Milwaukee m12 3/8 impact it was just a complete no brainer.
More power and a 3yr warranty on the Milwaukee vs snap on. I’ll take the snap on junk home and use it there, or just f**k it off all together.
Those cams are proper aggressive and will need proper high comp pistons. They also run solid lifters on the R3 maxi evo in 250 spec, so no good for hydraulic lifters.
R3 is the Clio 197/200 - so it can be put in a 172/182 motor as mine was built to R3 maxi spec (230bhp).
Is it cutting out because the revs are dropping too low? It might be worth creating an air leak and taking the vac pipe off the throttle body. See if that helps.
Yes mate. Caliper pistons were sticking and he’s had issues with the master cylinder, but the ramp angles in the box for decel were utterly ridiculous.
As said mate, looks awesome! And a much better angle for the airflow directly into the ports from a ram air perspective.
However.
You forgot to mention custom steel selector forks for the gearbox. 😂
For anyone else trying to read that wiring diagram, here’s a brief description:
A lot of sensors are earthed internally within the ecu, so for example, pin 1 & pin 32 ignition coil control is earthed internally - this is indicated by the arrow going towards the writing in the description.
So...
Try removing the relays in the engine bay fuse box mate (individually) and making sure the terminals are clean and refit. I’m pretty sure that there’s one that has something to do with power supply etc, but I’m fucked if I can remember which one.
Try and start the car after you’ve checked each...
Fit the cover without sealant and tighten all the bolts down. Try and turn the cams. If they turn then happy days. If they don’t - try and find another cam cover.
They’re matched from the factory in terms of the line bore for the cam journals, so in theory they shouldn’t be swapped. But it can...
To bleed mine up I just kept putting my mouth over the lip on the header tank and blowing into it. But, you’ve got to be quick when you’re letting the pressure off as you could end up with a mouthful of coolant.
It’ll bubble and gurgle as the air comes out and the coolant level will drop.
The ones I have personally used are Mahle with the tags.
Yeah I think they’re softer than the likes of ACL, but they’re definitely not softer than OE items mate.
Well they probably w**k over them because folklore dictates that bmw got the clearances wrong on the S54 which is why the rod...
