Well that big update time is coming: been mulling over seriously thinking of turbo so started seriously reading up looking into it and looking into different way of doing it and speaking to people who have already done it and now i have almost everything i need bar the management so in next coming months (i hope) to start and have it completed, going on hol soon so will have to wait till im back as want to get emerald k6 ecu and loom and get that sorted before i do the rest will start to fab the manifod as i have spares and already have flanges!
Been so busy had no time to really do anything to my own car what with decorating my kids room and helping others sort their sierra's well this week had few hours spare so started to complete my hydraulic clutch its 99.9% complete now
Been a while turbo plans on hold at mo alot of things have happened as of late mrs not been well and its still ongoing so been doing bits and pieces here and there plus my company has lost their contract so i gotta look for another job around may june as we all getting made redundant!
A little but not much but i have an uprated ap pressure plate with ap 6paddle clutch, I do however have so much more control over it and its now on point and so precise and cos its so heavy on the cable i had to have seat forward alot more to be able to hold it in traffic i dnt now chair has been moved back about a foot lol
I havent given up on turboing only need management and some small stuff but need to make sure i got job sorted and when we know more on mrs health! Been getting friends xr4x4 bk on road after 7+ years off road had a complete strip down and rebuild nut and bolt its now a 3.7 all it needs is base map putting on it then runit in and get it on rollers for proper set up!
Well clutch started slipping and was still relatively heavy so after a little bit of research and discussions with Damo I realised it was the uprated ap clutch cover so I bought a transit clutch and fitted along with the transit pressure plate but this ment moding the fork as the cover is bigger now cluch is so much lighter, will get the ap 6 paddle sent off to ap to be relined at some point.
Well treated myself to a set of greys for the turbo conversion......... Job front is looking up as long as I get the go ahead in the next 2 weeks i will be getting my Emerald K6 managment
Took car out for a blast begining of month to bed clutch in and had noise from rear pass side after having a look we couldnt find anything obvious was drive shaft location and as the pass rear cv's were old i ordered new ones and replaced at same time i noticed diff weeping and it has whined for the last 6years or so it has always had oil so I Ordered diff overhaul kit (all bearings etc) to have it sorted after classic ford.
