yup runs like shite as soon as it starts to boost, feels like you have sudenly took your foot off the gas,
its had a new timming belt fitted and both crank and cam pullys are spot on,
engine is a 1.6 s2 engine, its a donor engine and had been reconditioned by the previous owner but number 4 valves do sound a little knocky,
i had to change the oil pump gasket a year ago and i had a look up at the pistons and they look new, clean silver colour,
the breakers says that the engine had bigger valves fitted,
it has blue ford racing leads
full stainless steal zaust
newist turbotecknics turbo
drilled air box with cleaned panel filter(green one)
standard intercooler with boost pipes diverted away fro hot zaust
boost air temp guage that dosnt realy go over 40c on boost
knock sensor mounted off the engine and hole blocked with old knock sensor
all boost pipes are tight 99% sure theres no air leaks
would an adjustable cam wheel help anything?
im using v power petrol
