[Mr Plums]

So because im not confident at attempting to fit the walbro, ive booked it in with Andy at Overboost on Tuesday, then im up to efi the following Sunday for a health check and a map tweak.

Hopefully it will make some nice figures this time because Scoff at to lower the boost previously as it was leaning out a little high up the rev range, which he then advised me to upgrade the fuel pump if i wanted a bit more power.

 

[imprezaworks]

Tell me you managed to open the box?

Jokes, but kind of serious

Lols

Shitty update, yesterday 4th gear decided to start crunching and popping out of gear, originally i was going to get northloopcup to refurb me a box, but i have spoken to my mechanic today and he can refurb me a box and he is local, so i have ordered a supposedly good box off here, im getting it opened to check for any wear before having it fitted, if it needs anything ill get it done, then when my old box is off, im going to get it refurbished and either keep it as a spare or sell on as a good refurbished box with receipts.

So i have had to cancel my fuel pump being fitted and cancel my mapping session with efi on Sunday, but as soon as my new box is here and its been checked for any wear and then fitted, my fuel pump will be fitted at the same time and then i can re book with efi for mapping.

This should all happen hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks, so a little setback but we are all well, life goes on and its only money.

Oh and ive also ordered a set of magnecore leads too, just because they look nice.

 

[bloke]

cancel my mapping session with efi on Sunday,

was that for next sunday? could be handy for me as i need to get another one booked in with him.

 

[Mr Plums]

was that for next sunday? could be handy for me as i need to get another one booked in with him.

Yes mate sunday morning.

 

[bloke]

Yes mate sunday morning.

could be handy, obviously sorry for you being cursed though!!

 

[Mr Plums]

could be handy, obviously sorry for you being cursed though!!

No worries buddy and cheers.

 

[Rojer]

Shame to hear the gearbox started playing up, rather now than on the dyno tho.

 

[Mr Plums]

No updates, im still awaiting my gearbox that i ordered from a member on here on the 9th July, he said he was removing it around work so itll take a little longer.

Then i can get it booked in for the box opening and checking and then get it fitted along with the walbro then off for mapping, so its just a waiting game now until my box turns up.

Same 😂😂 was scrolling up through the thread and then it clicked at the sight of the new pump!!

 

[Chambers_RS]

Where's the walbro guide?

 

[Mr Plums]

Magnecores are here and fitted..

The gearbox turned up today too, im dropping it off with my mechanic on Sunday who is getting it opened up and checked over for any wear etc, anything found will be changed so the box will be perfect.

Once the car is back together and the walbro is on ill be re booking it in at efi.

Discs, pads, brake fluid and tyres are next.

Cant wait.

 

[_Tom]

I thought you were selling?

 

[Mr Plums]

I thought you were selling?

I was, but i decided to keep it because no one wants to pay what its worth because of who built it.

Id rather just keep it.

 

[_Tom]

I was, but i decised to keep it because no one wants to pay what ots worth because of who built ot.

Fair play. Ot makes to me. Ot's a lovely motor isn't ot.

 

[Mr Plums]

Gearbox dropped off to be opened up and checked over, dropping the car off Wednesday hopefully for...

Refurbished(if needed) gearbox/oil
Walbro fuel pump
Small service oil(mobil 1)/filter/plugs
New version crank sensor(blue plug)

Then rebooking in with efi for a map tweak.

 

[Mr Plums]

The gearbox specialist have rung me, they have opened up the box and its a good one, they have fitted a new selector seal and high tensile diff bolts because i told them its for a turbo'd car.

I drop the car off tomorrow for the work doing.
