Managed to find a bit of spare time to carry on with my rebuild on the rwd saff.

Fired it up for 10 mins or so to bed cams in sounded very very healthy

Spec is as follows;

YBP Late escos engine

.5 over size cosworth racing low comp pistons.
ARP con rod bolts
STD size crank
Lightly skimmed head and block
Fully balanced bottom end
Ported and polished head
ISKY valve springs
BD14 inlet
STD exhaust cam
Cometic head set
STD headbolts
Sweedish inlet
2WD exhaust manifold
Manifolds matched
Kent verniers
GRP a coil
All new sensors
TT T38 turbo
RS500 cooler (pace)
APEXI boost controller

Gonna run in on std injectors/chip.

Then its gonna be 82 lb siemens injectors
044 pump
live remap

Hoping for 450 bhp

Nice feeling when they fire up

 

Well done Pete 1500 miles on mineral and off for a mapping session

Paul

 

Get some pics up!

 

im hoping i feel that nice feeling soon lol, glad its all up and running and hope you see good figures, well done mate

 

Hope that turbo is ok

Steve.

 

Sounds good mate

I bet it did feel ace

 

Now then paul dont know about the full 1500 but she'll be getting a good bedding in.

Sounded sweet as a nut

 

Looks like a right nail under the bay, but thats the idea this year. Keep it looking rough whilst i sort all the oily bits. Just to suprise the sniggering m3 driver

 

Now then steve hows tricks?

Turbo is sound mate gonna make good use of it

 

We are all ok except having colds

Thinking of doing another project now, wished i hadn't sold the turbo

Steve.

 

Get a t4 mate

Juststarting with cold myself

You gonna be going to santa pod at some point this year??

Bloody car wont tick over

 

maiden voyage completed

tickovers shite, misses when held at 3000 rpm but engine sounds healthy and it has great oil pressure.

Could do with it a bit smoother for running in period before mapping sesh.

 

Will be going to Central Day on the 20th

Any idea what the idle problem is ????

Steve.

 

No ides mate i have double checked timing and sensor gaps. Sounds sweet for about ten seconds then it looses its idle, gonna phone stu today see if he can send me a pre live map chip to go with the new spec. The car is on standard yellows and stg 1 chip.

 

That is the best thing you can do anyway as the chip you are running will be miles out for your engine now.

Steve.

 

Sorted idle, just needed richening up a tad

Ordrering injectors from usa and i have had a change of mind on the inlet, im gonna port my standard one on the restrictive throat and use a 10mm spacer.

 

which one do you have atm Pete?

Paul

 

10mins?id say that was it run in lol.i gave my cossie about 8 mile.....

 

Early one paul thought it may be easier to port as it splits?

 

Only done .8 mile but its seen a tad of boost. Read a good piece from garage 19 in regards to running in.

Short and sharp

 

To gain the most you need either a 4x4 plenum(better than 2wd) or better still a small turbo escos one they will flow upto 500 bhp


short and sharp new one on me

Paul
