Attemping boosted ph1
- Thread starter danh90
- Start date
Yes omex can do that, although for the moderate boost danh will be running Scoff might just decide to set it up on the actuator.
No, he means can the omex BE a boost controller.
The 600 is only twin coil outputs, I guess you could run wasted spark COP if you wanted but Ive not personally done so, so give Omex a quick call to confirm.
IIRC there are some K series ones that are doubled up and can be used, or you can modfiy the ecu to allow it to do so for "normal" COP arrangement with an external amp.
710 will do it properly.
Personally I prefer coilpack, keeps the coils away from the heat!
You'll be very happy with the results , Scoff sorted my problems out with cold start and found the reason it would'nt pass emmisions, he's top man in my books and looks after an R5 I compete against.

No no no no no
Apparently either the belt has slipped or its dropped a valve. No compression on cylinder 1
I literally feel like crying put every spare penny I had into this aswell so looks like it will be getting trailered back and stripped. Unless by a miracle it's a cheap fix not a chance of that though

Bloody hell mate. What do you think you're going to do?

Scoffs going to spend an hour tommorow checking tension on Cambelt. Removing inlets and stuff to get a proper look and hopefully find out what's gone.
Either way I can't see it being cheap and tbh after I've paid for this build I can't even afford cheap so may after either get it back and chuck it in garage for a few month or knock it on head and strip it

The original engine..
I don't get it I made the 90mile trip down there car was running perfect no signs what so ever of running issues got started up today and just banged and went apparently. Still runs on 3 but that's no good obviously..
Fair play to scoff going through every little thing and trying to help me out as tbh I'm not really clued up about valves ect

It's the ph1 engine it's happened on mate, I do have the cup engine still could bits be swapped over or is it better buying new and fitting to existing, or just depend on what the cause is
Yeah wait and see what Scoff says tbh. I would just fit the cup engine if its okay mate, just get someone in the know to check it over. As has been said, i would give you a hand if closer, proper bummer, iv had similar with customer cars when they do things on the cheap, you feel sick for them. Did you change belt on the ph1 engine?

That's the spirit! Keep up the good work.
Only real thing you could do is fit a starter to the cup engine and turn it over out of the car to check compression, remove sump and check big ends without getting to involved and ££'s. If its a good ene then fit it and do belts when its started and your happy its a keeper. You could do all that for £200 inc oil/filter and belts and bit of your time. Gives you an idea, that's what I would do to save time and money if its tired and your ph1 lump is kapoot.
gutted for you Dan
hope its not to bad

Yeah mate and by far one of the highest respected. Personally I think it's s**t luck dude

It was the first time he'd started it up apparently, it was still na at that point :/..
Don't get it like I say the drive down was perfect. Suppose it's a car and things can go whenever

Can't believe it, what a pi$$er if it's lost compression on one cylinder I can only think it's dropped a valve, no reason why the timing should slip, keep at it!
you still on standard pistons? because i will have 4 spare laying about you can have if one is damaged ect

have a look in here, cost wise is depends on damage really

Scoff mentioned something about if it had dropped a valve he'd of seen it floating about (actually didnt know what he meant as my mechanical knowledge is limited) when he was looking about. Also mentioned he couldn't see anything wrong when using the bore scope..
Just praying when he's had a look and rings tommorow it's the best of a bad situation
