No mate still soldiering on valiantly lol, are you all tuned n built and running big numbers, I was thinking 350bhp but I'm erring more towards 400 now tbh, turbo is gonna be the thing there methinks

Yes mate, honed bore, bought set of second hand std pistons and stuck one in, cleaned head up fine, (but still would not put it on this new bottom end I'm getting) did valve gaps and put it back together, told this to mr dynamix at the time

The piston took a crap and stuck little bits of debris in the head, and I can watch the avcs solenoid chasing the actual pulley trying to keep the advance steady, so probs leaky seals in pulley (bought car with bad piston)

Just worked it out fuel wise, I've worked it on 28mpg (maybe too optimistic ?) over 500 miles, I think worked out at 81 litres, bout £100, sounds to little, gonna have another check

So, next things needed clutch kit injectors heads (well at least the left hand side) turbo killer B oil pickup tube maybe a sump delete tgv cam belt kit left avcs pulley to start with 😆 Edit:- turbo back exhaust headers ?

Hmmmm, starting to think it may be the actual rum induced eBay bov leaking .... Unless I've made a mistake fitting the intercooler some how, it does seem to reach better boost in 4th and 5th, wasn't pulling any timing, well, any more than usual haha, I had also takes the silicone inlet pipe of earlier to check turbo shaft play, there seems to be enough play to pretty much let the inlet blades touch the casing when no oils circulating, and I do get a weird "noise in a tube" effect at times, anyway, new engine on the horizon so gonna not worry bout it too much

I am more than mildly exited tbh, I think that's taking the edge off of the 10hr round trip lol

Had a good chat with graham (nice man) and I will be picking the offending article up next Saturday from "group b Motorsport" 🙂

Yer, wife not cool at all, didn't even ask what money was for, so have asked me ma lol. Will know one way or the other shortly

This could be public humiliation on a grande scale....

Gonna speak to the wife when i get in, fingers crossed she'll be sympathetic to my needs ..

Hi graham, excuse my ignorance but will this take normal 2.5 avcs heads

Ok, give me a little time gonna see if I can swing it somehow

Cold -5 this morning and car only boosted 15.86psi instead of the usual 18.43psi, do we think cold is a factor here

😆 tbh it's very entertaining, and altho maybe a little unorthodox it's actually a great way of gathering information lol lol

That intercooler is Lully mate 👍

Haha, savage bulldogs in spanish translates - woodeno spoonio grande......

Ive changed my mind..... Lock, it , just lock it, for the sake of sanity maaaan...... 😆
