1.9 xr2 on 40's

elp peeps

the estate (rst) is pinking at about 125 + on the speedo, i'd rather it dint blow up really so whats easiest and cheapest way to fix it??

im thinking maybe wire up a switched feed to the cold start so that would act as a 5th injector but there is prob a reason i shudnt do that


also this meter head mod ppl say about, what do i need to do??

its a life or death thing chaps (for my engine neways)

Ta

ps cant go getting it propperly set up as i have had bad experiences b4 and dont really wanna spunk the dough either cos i do have spare engines if the need arose

spec is basically std running gear with a chip and running 15 ish psi thru a grs cooler and a set of samco's (gotta be worth 50 brake alone huh )

shes pretty quick but wanna keep it reliable to really

pinking could be the timing aswell, but it could be your chip faulty, or its running out of fuel, the mod you can do is on the little black box on the side of the metering unit, take it off take it apart theres a screw in there what needs turning a bit, i wouldnt recommend doing without a fuel check though

that 5th injector coldstartvalve is what i am opting for im not sure which wires to bridge thoe to activate it? i have taken the thermo time switch sensor off and the engine collent temp to ecu sensor not sure which one of the two to plug back in and which one needs the boost activated switch wired too?

get it set up dont cost that much about Ł80 would do it at least u would no its running right then you can spare a few quid for that just sell some off you bits u must have

i mite have a tinker then

missuses old man has a exhaust gass whatsit so he can playe about till its right


have 2 more chipped ecu's too so ill give them a bash


cheers guys


it aint the money jon its that i can stuff another engine in for free so may aswell let this 1 self destruct

(red rs had a shit hot setup so mite just swap the meter head n chip off that, was propper turbo systems set up from what the bits on the bay say)

Retard the timing a bit m8.

You must be mad if you'd rather fuck about swopping an engine over for the sake of Ł80 getting your fueling checked over Its no wonder RS Turbos end up with a reputation of being unreliable!!

1.9 xr2 on 40's

they get that reputation cos they are



i have 4 engines sat there, y pay 80 bucks when i can do it for free in a day

i'd rather be payin myself 80quid a day 2 do it which i can live with

John Laverick

They are only unreliable if you run them at 125+ whilst there pinking and then try and fix the fueling problem without knowing what your doing.

If a full day of your time is only worth Ł80 then fair enough go for it.

Although its actually costing you about Ł170 ( Ł80 - Ł250 [minimum value of your spare engines]. Its a false economy no matter how you look at it.....its a no brainer for me

1.9 xr2 on 40's

mines reliable enuff as is, look about this site, theres plenty to prove how unreliable they are

neways if i could sell lumps for that i'd have a grand in my pocket

they aint worth shit, sum1's always got 1 for 100 quid


neways do YOU know y my cars pinking and how i can fix it cos you been about as helpfull in replying to my post as a shit in a swimming pool

i dont tell you how to live so get of my case

John Laverick

I'll leave you to it

Maybe if you dropped the attitude m8 you would get more help,as i stated above if you knock back the timing a bit that will stop it pinking.

I agree mate, a properly set up rs can be a very reliable car if looked after.
Its a very delicate system, needs somebody who knows how to set it up right.

ksa74f/231bhp,
i will be sorting the timing mate, i havent a attitude towards any 1 who actually helps me out (and i help out plenty of others with their problems too) but when its not helping and is nowt to do with any thing then i dont see what i should let it go, surley its up to me what i do with my stuff and if i wanna change engines or not and the reason i dont wanna set up is stated in the 1st post

i dont trust em all i hear is bad things about em all and have seen 1st hand sum1 do a rr set up and it made the car worse and within a month killed it (eh jon)

neways with a bit of luck ill get it on the machines at my missuses old mans garage so the fueling and timing will be set up mint, its having new oil and filter this aft and maybe a cambelt next week if i have 1 kickin about

swerv

mate, i dont blame you for not trusting tuners as who do know who to trust and your right it is your car.....but you are the typical no brain rs turbo owner with no clue!!

missus drives an rs turbo , we have had it 13 months now and it has been ultra reliable running 190hp , so dont talk shit saying they are un-reliable.

maybe its the Ł100 engines you are buying

back to your question , are you sure you can hear pinking at 125 , cause i cant even hear people in the back at 80mph

1.9 xr2 on 40's

wake up, engines dont cost me shit cos i break the cars

the only thing i dont know abut is the pinking so i have asked, otherwise i do my best to answer ppls problems and not to tell em that are dicks for asking

look around, every1 saying turbos are soo very reliable???
i think not

most ppl are askin whats up with em cos they aint running or are playin up a treat

i aint sayin there less reliable than owt else but u would never say they were nice reliable cars , my missuses si is just as bad but thats another story


any1 else thats being soo helpful as to help me with my problems, or do you just wanna whinge at me- like i really give a shit

GrimmeRS2K

set your Co at 3.5% mate, and check it at 3500 rpm, other than that its the timing, which has been covered above

Hope you get it sorted m8.

blimey grimmer 3.5??

the missuses mk6 si had to be .3 on idle and .3 at 3k to (maybe 2k wernt really listening after i was told how much the bits were to fix it, cat, lambda, etc) to pass emmisions

i glad i dont have to go thru all that mot polava with the estate
new cars have got a lot to live up too when emmisions come into it



as for the pinking i wanted to get it sorted 2day but missuses old man had gone off to shoot some wildlife so it'll wait til next weekend, least she got new oil filter and few other bits 2day (shown up the cam needs swapping )

turned me boost down to save getting the urge on the way to fitp 2morra
even gave it a wash, not that it shows

also run it on opitmax if you run high boost, that will also help your pinking
