Not on the rallycar but my 172 Cup track car yes, as they are directional you just need to swap them on the rims to get the max life (if circuits mostly right or left handers etc) I have mediums and they lasted very well.
Set them to about 25F and 27R cold do a 5min session come in and set them all to 30 hot straight away. If you don't get them over 30 go out again as you haven't been trying ;-)
Just check after each session the same and set to 30 (have tried 28 when its stinking hot) but shouldn't move after first 1-2 sessions.

Brilliant stuff! Just what I was after mate. Thanks. :up:
 
So, I've done a bit today...................Despite @not normal dan taking the piss after I told him I was in the garage! Lol!

Today's efforts started with this:

And ended with this:

What your looking at there is the loom for the vvt solenoid and the coil on plug. Still plenty to be getting on with though as there's effectively 3 separate looms! Stupid f**king 197 fancy s**t! Lol!

More to come. :up:
 
Looks good. What do you use under the heatshrink on these bits, is it some kind of glue?

Bet the garage had a shock lol
 
Looks great, those PMS manifolds really do look great!

By not cheap do you have a link to the heat shrink just to see?

I need to tidy up my r26 loom, when we pulled the engine out yesterday my OCD had a melt down.... Beyond tatty.

I was looking at some of the Raychem products to sleeve / seal the loom... I think that's what you've used?

Don't suppose you know a decent UK supplier? :smile:

Yeah it's dr25 raychem that I've used mate. Be warned, if you choose this option you will have to strip the loom entirely and de-plug it to get the heat shrink over the loom.

Do a search for Hudson Wiring mate. You can buy off them by the mtr.

That part terrifies me LOL!

But, I want it doing properly.. If I don't and put the engine back in I'll be disappointed.
 
Looks great.

You have no idea of the size of the "job list" I'm building up for you having seen what you've been doing to yours. After you've got this done, there is a miley red one you'll need to give some attention to x
 
Little bit more done over the weekend. It's a real case of slowly slowly catchy monkey currently as I'm only getting an hour or so at a time.

What your looking at here is the loom for the alternator charging signal, oil pressure switch, oil level sensor, air temp sensor and the knock sensor. Not sure if the knock sensor will be required, but it's easier to have it in place and not required than to have to run it in afterwards.

Ok, so who's getting bored of me posting wiring loom pics? Lol! Really starting to come together now as you can see below. All that's left to sort is the coolant temp sensor, crank sensor, lambda sensor wiring, speedo drive sensor wiring and re-pin the new stuff that's going into the ecu. Theres a few splices to put in here and there as well, alongside retaining the original coil pack wiring and plug.
It just makes sense to retain this as if the coil on plug setup becomes unreliable and troublesome, all I'll have to do is make a strategic cut into 1 wire and remove 2 pins in the ecu plug. Done.

Enough waffle.

More to come.

OCD mate. It's a disease that also effects your wallet. 🙈

I've stepped back from spending now.

Hitting a concrete block on the a38 put me down a little :(

But this is something else, I properly like what you're doing Mark.


Once the house selling/buying is over, I might possibly look into forge rebuild......;)

Nice work Mark, glad you've got your enthusiasm back :smile:



Fancy a double date lol

I'd like to tidy my loom up as it makes the bay look messy.

Yes it's taken a while but we are most certainly back in the game now!

Lol! I don't mind looking it over mate at all, but keep in mind you'll be spending about £160-£170 just in raychem!

Ouch!

I'll be assisting @not normal dan if he goes down the forged route with his mate. ££££'s to do right if you want them to last. f**king things!
