ok 5th injectors are a extra for top end lean running, the no igniton advance is not a extra, its a missing part of the car !!!!

bit like saying you can use a small intercooler as they do work in certain aplications

its up to you, i know my sugestion to ya, your money though

 

i dont no about turbo cvh engines but wasnt the dizzy a vacuum advance?

 

lol and i see what your saying. As i said if i did buy i know you would MAKE me convert it to loom and id prefer to. Simply saying it works.

 

simon my car was peaking and holding at over 2bar boost, never melted either, still turned the boost down though

its no a case of if it goes wrong just a case of when

im sure the xr3i's are vacum advance , erst's have a ecu to control that and a fuel ecu

 

fair enough, it was worth a try

 

rschav youre missing the point... its not a case of "it's good for 180bhp" its a case of the car driving wrong...

in order to set it up so that it does not blow up on full throttle / full boost you will have to SERIOUSLY compromise the rest of the driving conditions (toa degree where i'd be surprised if it idled let alone drove ) do you want a car you can ONLY drive on full throttle/boost?

altho TBH i doubt its set up that way, it'll probably go bang the 1st time its held flat out

 

this might be an idea for me

i only want to try and get the fooking car going then if it does it would probaly help me to find why the fookers not going.

so tell us how its done then

ta

 

rschav, your intentions are good, but could well be regretted fairly soon after your purchase.
But the loom you spoke about combined with the car at a good price and i dont think you can go far wrong.

I still like you other idea though si, 1.1 all the way, get some escort steels or something aswell so it looks standard but has a bit of grip there.

 

just to point out that my lastest xr2 turbo does run standard ecu,, not 3 wire trick,,, incase any 1 thought it was

 

Jim no m8 it dont go bang flat out i.ve been in it with the speedo indicating over 135mph and it has been taken further


adding the Loom is all thats needed to make a nice car better as henchos said the car at a good price which imho is a cheap car considering what has been spent on it

Davie0146 i dont know how its done but thats exactly what my other m8 has done when he converted his 3I he did not want to waste his money buying and installing the loom incase it did not work so when he had the engine installed the 3 wire tricked it to make sure it runs ok he has no problems and is running approx 160bhp I will try find out from the garage that installed the engine in the 3I to tell me how its done

 

Jim m8 sorry your wrong there the car can drive off boost as good as on boost and you dont need full throttle to have fun as it drives like any other turboed car.

 

Seen a few of these over the years.

 

Stu, are they as dodgy as they sound in reality then?

 

stu a bit more advice please

unless ya gonna sit on the fence
