Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Change of plan, going with high comp on the ITBS. Too much work and frankly I don't think I've got the enthusiasm, nor Fred to be bothered with it. Too many niggles coming up with it sat around.
Rods and pistons and probably valves, will do me. Sick it of being off the road now.
Just picked up a Fiesta ST with all the whistles and bells to keep me occupied in the mean time and to get from A to B

Lol worth is a matter of opinion. But I'm looking forward to it!
Fred took the most hanging engine off me previously and made it go well lol. So I have every faith that it'll be great.

Watcha, how's the Megane mate?
Will have at the weekend, it's a 57 plate ex demo, the previous owner is 70 years old and had it since it had 400 on the clock. I know they're nothing to shout about but they've got all the mod cons. And they all work too which is a bonus lol.
RS tuning will be getting my vote too. Not happy with my cold start map this time round. Massively overfueling. Third times a charm right? : D

Good mate, just spent a small fortune on a suspension refresh
Sounds good, should make a wicked daily driver. Another vote here for rstuning.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
It's all good. Be interested to see if you find anything suspect when the heads off. Probably not, still think it cooked on the dyno

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
first alternator was only 3 years old, re-wired standard job but seemed to work fine. Second was Matt's cup alternator - pretty old but worked for a week or two then properly fried when the car was idle. Shat me up. 3rd is that Lucas one which is now fooked too! That's the dyna cup battery if you remember, I thought it was that but I'm not so sure now.
Car has a mind of it's own

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
lol you just get to the point where there's no point stressing about it. It's a 13 year old Renault, and the engine was done on the relatively cheap. Was pulled with more leaks than you could count on both hands and feet, so it did well. It went well too. It just seemed all down hill after a certain point, but I'm done pointing fingers. Proper engine refresh and a few new bits and it'll be reet.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Ditto - RS Tuning is where I'm headed, too. It's almost as if my tales of woe with the T-woe-phy are mirroring yours...
Someone's a bit busy by the sounds of it. I'm not trying to get bumped up the queue or anything but what beer do you drink?! LOL!
Yeah, I'm sure all will be good mate. It'll come back a different car I expect.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Just read the last few pages, I'm sure Fred is over the moon about having another engine to rebuild, mines going down there in a a week or so to get it back to full health as its been swimming and gulped up some water....just deciding whether to put some gt cams in whilst its apart

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
I was just advising Chris not to go for GT cams.
surely with it going high comp it would be worth going for a wilder cams to squeeze as much as possible out of it?

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
519 did and i trust he did everything correctly.
Dont get me wrong they did show decent gains on my engine which was just over 160bhp to start with but the after owning another car on 421s the improvement over the GT cams is really noticeable. Hence why I wouldnt advise someone to get them thats all.

If you're paying
They're not the harshest cams in the world, but they're not as bad as people on here tend to make out. It's all marketing b****cks with these new profiles being flung about. It's difficult doing a direct comparison on two different engines too really.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
wow, nice marketing misdirection. It's actually £399+vat, or £499+vat, so a lot less difference than you're suggesting, and the results are about 10bhp different. Trust me, If the GT cams worked I'd sell them, there's more margin in them for a start, so I make less from selling a set of 438s, but miles better results.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
just been and looked again, it's actually £441+vat for the GT's, so even less difference
