Hi.

 

Time to sell up.

Spent over 10k on my car in the last 2 years.

Brand new engine, all parts also.

Interior re-newed ect.

 

A lot of you have seen my progress and knock backs and now with a knock on a brand new bottom end, and lots of work... it's really taken the piss.

Just had enough of it eating money.

It's just been run in by 1500 miles, new gt525 turbos as well from Z1.

 

Any offers please PM me.

I do not have the skill, time, money or interest to fix it anymore.

I'm sure it's an easy fix for somebody with all the knowledge and tools.

The engine is 88mm wiseco pistons, acl bearings and full divorced downpipe decat.

 

I have made it into a stunning car and it gets lots of attention.

The cars the good bit, it will run and drive well the rest is just more power lol...

what kind of power was you aiming for

what kind of power was you aiming for

 

To be honest I wasn't I just wanted every thing new very reliable with a newer type ball bearing turbo with maybe a bit more power,

am looking for about 550whp

anything over 500 will suite me aswell

at the wheels or crank

Guys this is someone's "for sale" thread...

I am listening guys and thanks... :)

I will call B&L and will bring it up tomorrow Terry.

I've got to go for a job interview at Smart Repair where Liam is.

Remember my mate Leo who wanted an MOT? He is hopefully going to train me and go to a new shop in Tonbridge Wells.

Fingers crossed.

 

It sounds a bit louder than the previous knock, so maybe a small end rod bearing that goes to the to piston head as these are still OEM.

That boot down the road to try and clear that smoke that time made the car fly and again 25% quicker after electrically contact cleaning the MAF.

 

Maybe with the bigger tubs = more air it's det'ed?

Not sure what my car is running, or what, but the thing is a monster if you do put the foot down.

 

Maybe it needed mapping after run in?

NOS did say about a running in chip... gather that was for a good reason.

 

Sorry, so many questions we are all asking.

 

I think you guys are right about keeping her though.

Just really pissed because...... well it's obvious ££££££ all the time. GRRRRR

I do appreciate it

This is the only issue...

It has taken me this long on and off to run in and I doubt I have a leg to stand on.

 

 

 

 

 

B&L workshop, I asked the builder to take photos of my build...

 

Gutted :'(

 

 

 

 

Guys this is someone's "for sale" thread...

 

Anthony is all good, this is part of the process were just reeling him in the ****er is not selling that zed lol...

Good, same offer as to you, when he is ready I'll come cover with the ConZult to make sure all is OK.

Lol sounds good.

Hopefully we can find out what it is between us all.

Just wondering what happens with Z1 and the tubs as they were sent in 2010 new and were only put on last year.

 

I had sent them an email asking what to do if the smoke is caused by a doa tub, they said I needed to get a 'review' on them before sending them back to the states.

I asked what that mean but no answer for months.

Shit customer service all round.

so your turbos are faulty as well as the knock ?

They could be faulty now if run with no oil pressure, but I doubt it,

so the knock started and the turbos smoked ?

I had a smoking passenger side exhaust after rebuild.

Changed the pcv's and all pcv pipes to sfs silicon.

Found oil in my plenum, few people said give it a boot after run in, it stopped for a good week after doing that, then came back. Weird.

Knock didn't happen after the 1700 odd miles were on the new lump.

Crazy.

Were the PCVs genuine or pattern parts?

MJP pattern

Im starting to wonder if these forged engines are a good idea there obviously very strong but then the old faster faster bug kicks in, then huge turbos pushing it harder and harder and I doubt they would last 10yrs...

 

There we go. The only weak point of the VG is.... A bad build.

 

If it's hit 100k miles, refresh the shells. If you're looking for proper power, get it built properly via Jimmer
