OK GUYS SHES alive! AND BOOSTING!!
ok the brakes are fine could do with a bigger servo but its not any worse then before and the brakes have not bed in yet so in about 200 miles i should have the brakes working niceley then engine is brill working really well and for once i have a engine that dont leake oil! Yay
a pic and a video why not im well happy just going to sort out the 5th injector now then i can really turn the boost up :P
and i must say i love the turbo chatter

 

looks good mate but if i was you i would tie that oil feed pipe up out the way of the down pipe.

 

You need to check the cam. It sounds, not nice.

 

i know the cam aint in the best of conditions but its not affecting to much at the mo i have more important things to buy 1st but i am going to get a kent torque cam i think will be good for turbo and the turbo oil feed i am just waiting for a 90 degree adaptor to come though the post so it clears the bonnet better quite happy though 3rd gear full throttle from 1.5K and she boosts up at 2.5 rpm with a not the best of turbos, shall we say

 

Nice one, I'm excited and intrigued!!

 

FR30 cam. Seen the dyno plots and it's good for turbo use.

 

Has anyone had any experience with the fr30 cam? And some new pics after I have just installed all my boost hose clamps

 

proper cool project i really like it, thinking of getting shot of my astra daily for another sierra!

 

do it remember with a sierra you can have rwd or even 4 wheel drive i myself orefurr RWD for the advantages of....

 

need to sell the astra first and convince my misses that i need 2 sierra's. RWD only i don't do 4x4.

Love this great Project!

Iv got a full Pinto EFI engine sat in my garage that i was going to do the exact same thing with! Engine, ecu, loom and gearbox.

would love a sierra to put it in

 

Get one as the miles are vein put on the engine I can ever so slightly increase my power and it's getting to put a bigger and bigger smile on my face every times she gets wastage chatter whitch now I have my blue air hose from the turbo to the air filter is loud and in every gear

 

It's not waste gate chatter, it's turbo stall. Basically the air the has been compressed is forced back out the turbo the wrong way. Too much of it kills the turbo

 

I know I have done my research and the only thing I can't find is a proper dump valve that does the tis tis tis noise?

 

compressor surge

 

And my air fuel ratio gauge has just arrived !!!!!

 

Crack on

Is the car running on the standard Pinto EFI ECU at the moment Karl?

 

It is indeed Standard efi....
I have my 5th I injector and relays etc but have no idear how to plumb in the fuel lines?

 

Do you mean for a feed of fuel foor the 5th injector or where the 5th injector can go to supply fuel to the inlet/ engine?

 

You need to read this thread if you havent already, the guys built a gd Pinto EFI Turbo.

https://passionford.com/forum/restor...le-dynoed.html

Iv talked to him loads and he's very helpful

 

No need for any extra injectors and you have no way to meter the fuel. Up to 200bhp the standard efi can cope with minor mods. Ran mine for 6 years. But with out a recirc dump valve the airflow meter will wear due to reverse air flow. I have had to fit a spare due to this problem. A twin piston adjustable dump valve can be interesting, flames!! It can cause the ecu to dump more fuel in at gear changes

 

Nice

 

very very nice

 

Had a look at the power plot in the link above and something is not right. Torque and power cross point are not at 5252rpm (below)



This is mine for a standard efi pinto with just the turbo added at 7psi. Only ran up to 5800rpm on this plot. Did another run to 6500rpm and got 174bhp but no print out.

 

so what does that mean?
and right the turbo is maxed out the fueling according t my AFR gauge is showing 14.5 on full throttle at just under 5000RPM 0.35-0.4 bar boost
is that ok , next is the 5th injector but shes is going very well in the vids i am only going to 4K rpm to be safe ,, what you think
and also for 160 quid that AFR gauge is bril i well recommend it over ANY other gauges i have seen so for for the price came with evrything i needed to install and a bosh laba wideband sensor

 

Have any of you guys had any experience on the xr4x4 brake servo thinking of fitting one give a better response on the brakes

 

is that not running a extra injector then? as thats what im doing and i have pretty much maxed out the fueling now at about 6 psi

 

No extra injectors on mine.

 

I already told you what servo & m/c you need.

 

the standard one is working fine and sweet i have maxed out my fueling now at 0.45bar now so im going to add the injector and turn up the boost a little more

 

a little update guys just waiting on some funds to add the 5th injector but she is working brill untill i melted the oil feed to the turbo on the exhaust , never good oh well its all AN -4 fittings now so looks the biz ,, just need the hose to arrive in the post

 

Got the turbo water cooled now running in really well the clutch ain't all that as I found out on a full throttle run up to 70 mph but boosting well

 

Love this project.Its nice to see something different.

 

thanks man getting my suspension done very soon

 

Ok after 500 miles of running 0.45 bar and running ok on furling (whitch is maxed out) I have given her a oil change and a few tweaks
Moved the oil temp sensor to the block rather than the sump plug to give a much better temp reading and now got the 5th injector installed now just got to do the relay for it now

 

Your not going to get much more fueling with that injector. Its a cold start injector for a K Jetronic.

 

its allowed me to run a extra 3 psi , i know its not much i know but im not running lean any more and it feels so much quicker now and what injector would be a good fit for a 5th injector whitch can be worked of a simple relay?

 

ok so long time with no update
shes been run in now and running 2 cold start injectors whitch makes the fueling near as god dam it spot on fot half a bar boost running a good 190ish bhp after a few races :P

shes back of the road now after fitting a megnex exhaust whitch fits and now installing power steering again with a saxo pas pump fits like a dream just getting the high pressure pipe made up now and the turbo went and smoked out the car from the back end and the front lol so thats getting reconditioned with a 360 thrust bearing

and now she has koni adjustable (whitch came with free chrome strut top covers) all round i really cannot wait to drive her now shes going to be mental after driving her with no PAS and cut springs on old stock shocks
also got some front braided brakes lines for £3 of ebay
also with the new exhaust the manifold had to be cut and re-wealded to lower the turbo whitch was brill as now the actuator wont hit the bonnet anymore and dent it anymore
see a picture below of the hot sode jurnal bearing out of my turbo :P




the exhaust on the left is my new one and the right is the old moongose whitch is now for sale

 

also took these the other day and have just picked up some majenta sideskirts for £3.50 again i love ebay will fit them asap as well as she cant be driven
but these really do show if the paint work :P
