Cret Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Didn't really do much last night Andi aside from reattaching the boost line to the boost controller so I can plumb it in to boost how I want it. Got to get to grips with the instructions first though - it's all talk about ratios & stuff. Car is going pretty well though aside from knackered cooler pump. Well done Jimmy - good stuff mate!
Jimmy Mc Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 << And does anybody know who is the best on the island for HGV lessons...thanx chaps... >> I've seen wagons with L plates pulling into the place next to that new Eden Park garden thing. The place where they sell christmas trees (not at the moment though, obviously...) Or you could wait for a lorry to roll off the Ben My Chree, do a Fast and the Furious style wagon hijack, and then before you knock the driver out ask him where he took his lessons
andy_bray Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Well done Jimmy dude , Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet..
Dave K Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Mornin dudes!! lol Sweet Jimmy Wont be long and you'll have it sorted Jim. Just finished for the night, started stripping the car for inlet manifold off.
Dave K Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 << How come they had to meddle with the endtanks? >> Inlet & outlet were to high, pipe work would have gone throught the middle of the light pods. The core is not a hybrid one hence why it did'nt line up with hybrid pipework, but has better internals. Uppipe lagged and EGT probe fitted. In theory my next mod should work but might have to wait and see. I have not come across anyone using the OEM water spray on a front mount, probably as it wont make a big difference, but every little helps. And secondly because the spray jets leak as the tank is above the jets, thus gravity makes it leak. So one IC spray tank. 16mm joint & pipe. Pump & joint connected. Fitted to IC spray tank. By moving the pump to the front bumper and below the jets I hope to eliminate leakage, I don?t see why it shouldn?t work.
Jimmy Mc Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Morning Dudes.....off to Spill the Beans now methinks
Cret Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Can't wait to see yours all finished Dave! Session last night Jimmy? Got my water injector installed in the manifold last night and got the blits boost controller plumbed back in again. Just need to remember where I left the water pump to get the rest of the kit installed, and get my new cooler pump on when it arrives and things SHOULD then be going pretty sweet!
Jimmy Mc Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Only session I had last night was a 1 hour stint stuck on a level on Fire Warrior for PS2! Sounds like the car is coming together now Jim. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Cret Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Hopefully yes mate. Just have to remember where the hell I've put the water injection pump. Can't find the bugger anywhere!!!
Boxer23 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Morning mes amigos! Sounds like the Scooby fraternity on the Island are busy with mods/repairs/rebuilds etc Any cars fully healthy out there?!? Busy night then Jimmy, mate! lol How's everyone today? All set for the weekend?
heazille Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 << Any cars fully healthy out there?!? >> Mines in Extremely Rude health ,Thank you Ta Ta Richard Sheriff of Scooby Island
Cret Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Yes mate, and not a good one too. Spent hours looking for the water injection pump, turned my place inside out, turned the mrs' place inside out and the car too and it's nowhere to be seen. Don't know how on earth I can have lost a big heavy chunk of metal like that but I appear to have managed to somehow since fitting the second pair of ignition coils a few weeks back. It's taken months to fit the bloody injector and now I can't even use the damn thing as I've no pump to drive it with.
Dave K Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Mornin dudes. Bummer Jim, can you not use an alternate pump? But then I assume it's a specific type, high pressure etc.
Dave K Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Picked up the heat shield1 this morning heat shield2. But then found a few alterations where required. Soaked the turbo bolts last night with WD40, did the trick as the hairdryer came off no prob. The OEM uppipe came off as well, showing the oily results of the weeping rocker covers that will be sorted at TEG. Downpipe had to come off to; again good soaking in WD40 saved a lot of hassle. Next the inlet came off. Found a split in the inlet pipe, which explains my lumpy idle of late due to leaking air. Block ready for a degreasing session tomorrow. Got to make it shiny aint I. The old inlet. I was shocked at the amount of blow by oil in he manifold. more But the catch can has eliminated that now.
andy_bray Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Not good news Jim dude .... And the Type R is coming on Dave dude.... Good morning all.... And Iam off to the UK again tomorrow....

Dave K Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Mornin dudes. Gave the block a quick degrease. Fitted headers back on with H&S slip jointed uppipe and then the turbo went back on. And then it went pear shaped. Could'nt get the inlet pipe to fit, almost refitted OEM inlet. But came up with a plan, just hope it works. Manifold back on. Manifold 2 The problematic inlet pipe
andy_bray Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Good morning all ... On the boat this morning dudes, and it looks like it is going to be a good sailing for the missus... See you later....
