Battery is connected to a booster so that's fine. I don't know if anything is showing on the dash.
The connections all look ok to me.
It must be something not quite right when it's been swapped over.

It's good to see progress being made mate (even with the odd minor issue here or there). I'm sorry I couldn't be around to catch up with you whilst you were over this way; had the circumstances been any different then I'd have made it happen!
Engine is running now!

Woop! Awesome project. Read the whole lot now.
Thanks Matt
No problem, hope it went as well as it can do.
Cheers, there's lots missing that I need to add as well at some point.
Great news mate.
Yes, engine has been run up to temp now. There were a couple of coolant leaks so once sorted should be ready to go.

Good progress Tim. Can't wait to see it again. Bet your itching to get it up to rs tuning and back again
Some photos I took this evening.
It'll be at the next South Central meet, probably the Goodwood Breakfast Club.
I hadn't updated it very often so easy to miss.
I'm pissed off at moment as my rebuilt gearbox is still f**ked! It seems to be the diff that's damaged despite Agency saying the diff was ok.

Not like Martin Tim.
Good to hear the motor's running but shame about the box.
What's it doing Tim?
It's rattling when not under load. Does it on the road and when the car is in the air on the ramp.
It's same noise as when I stopped driving it so can't be clutch, flywheel etc as they're new. They don't think its the driveshafts and gearbox has been rebuilt so must be the diff.

Sounds like the noise mine made when my diff went, prior to LSD'ing it.
If it is the LSD it's massively bad form. Hope you get some kind of recompense for the trouble.

DMF or smf?
You need to reset the self adjusters in the new clutch pressure plate before fitting (or at least check to make sure they are correct)... There is a special Renault tool for this, but you can do it without:

The adjusters were checked/reset before fitting.
The noise is exactly the same as before the box was rebuilt so not clutch or flywheel related.

The LSD doesn't always make noise when it's worn to the point where it's not locking as much as it should.
Easy to test.
Put the car on stands at the front - either wheels off or centre caps off the wheels so you can get at the hub nut.
Put the gearbox in neutral.
Use a beam torque wrench to rotate one driveshaft via the hub nut for at least two turns watching to see the most torque you need. Write this down.
Repeat for the other wheel. Write this down. Find the average of the wtow readings and write this down as your neutral average.
Put the gearbox into 1st.
Repeat the torque measurements for both wheels. Write these down, and average them - this is your 1st average.
Now a teeny bit of maths. Divide the 1st average by the neutral average. That number gives an idea of the health of the LSD. Less than 2.5 and it's officially kippered according to Honda specs. Bascially the higher it is, the fresher the LSD.
That's for a Honda S80 box, the diff's are the same design so the theory of checking the preload should still apply.

Any more news on this Tim.
Gearbox is back at Agency Transmissions now. Martin says all the gearbox internals, bearings, casing etc looks good. He's getting someone to inspect the LSD and will be phoning tomorrow with an update.
The lsd is fine but they've now found that one of the teeth on the pinion is damaged. Bit annoyed it wasn't noticed the first time.
Turbo is at CR Turbos to be hybrid'd this week.
Hopefully I'll get gearbox and turbo back by end of week and I'll be able to drive my car again sometime next week.
I dropped the car off on 1st August so miss driving it now!! A Ford KA isn't fun but it's saved me £400 or £500 in fuel lol

Agency Transmissions say the gearbox should be ready by Thursday or Friday.
"Should be" in inverted brackets.

Turbo will be back early next week as well so by end of the week I should finally be able to drive the car again :smile:
Plan is to run engine in for 500 miles then book it into RS Tuning for mapping.

My mate is having his 250 turbo fitted and mapped today at Paul's! Knowing how he feels, I bet you're like a kid on Christmas Eve!
ahhh Mr. Bond.
Yeah! 3-4 texts at a time telling me the power increases LOL.
Gearbox is ready so hopefully the courier can deliver it for Friday.
Trouble is I'm going to have to take it easy until it's run in and mapped!

What kinda power you looking for? And nice effort buddy like it!
I'm hoping for somewhere in region of 330bhp and a lot more torque (current engine made 330lbft on TDF's rollers).
My R26 clutch lasted 92.5k miles with 70k of that being at stage 2 power so I don't see the clutch being an issue.
Got my hybrid turbo back from CR Turbos
