Well for anyone that was hoping to come and say hello at Ford Fair............... i'm not there!!!!!

Yesterday whilst mapping the car my 'professionaly fitted' trigger wheel vibrated it's welds loose at 20psi and 6800rpm chewing the end off my VR sensor leaving me with no spark!!
This will be fixed tomorrow but didnt really need it the night before FF!

Actual tears!

Karlos.

 

shit mate hope u get it done asap

 

gutted mate a tax never came through in time

 

sorry to hear you have had problems hope you sort it

It will be fine tomorrow after we weld the trigger wheel back to the pulley and I fit a new VR sensor, just a pain that I had to miss FF!

 

hi
well hope its sorted
cant wait to see the power output? i bet your itching yourself
just play it right as you have and your be happy
i have missed ff to been cutting a series 2 roof apart to put in good metal for a guy on here should of seen his face when he saw the rust i bet it was not as bad as yourn when the trig/wheel went
good luck

I am itching!!! lol
We had done a few runs at 20psi so it was getting there, hadnt started advancing the timing yet though so still plenty more power to come but it felt responsive as it was, specially compared to MFI, they are worlds apart mate!! lol!

Ah rusty roof syndrome lol! At least I dont have that to worry about!
Yeah I wasnt impressed! First thought was how am I going to get from the A14 to Doug's workshop!!??
The answer was call my cousin who lived 15 mins away and take the bumper off ready to be towed!

 

unlucky mate, i didnt make it aswell but that was down to the other half. hop u get it sorted.

 

Just to clarify, it wasn't me who welded the trigger wheel.

These things happen mate. We'll get another one fitted properly to your spare pully.

 

lol
Thats right it wasnt Doug (Garage19), it was my local engineering company ELB Engineering!

 

o mate gutted for ya. i do like how quick you have carried out the conversion tho. whos doing the mapping? was you having a go at it your self?

 

Should have used the proper flywheel...

 

Cheers! It's a really easy conversion and i'd recommend it to anyone!
Doug (Garage19) is mapping it with me (well.. I was driving and he was mapping! lol).

Yes but i couldnt be arsed to take the engine and gearbox out to drill the block and fit the CPS and fly wheel!
Takes 15mis to remove the bottom pulley!
Once welded correctly it will be fine

 

Welded back on now temporarily, new one being made up and fitted to my spare pulley in a much better fasion!
The welding that had been done was truly pathetic, they had not even cleaned the paint off!!!

 

sorry to hear it i did have a quick scout around and wondered .....
glad the mapping is going well though top stuff!

 

Carlos love the nissan 300zx should be my next car hopfully next year.

 

It is a great car!
My cousin is building up a twin turbo lump to drop in very soon! It's NA at the moment, but at least it's a manual!
