Guess what??????

 

 

Got it back :D

 

3 years later.......

 

Omg why didn't i take it to this garage from the begining, i've been messed about and stitched up by 3 or more garage who reckon they could get it all going and this garage gets it running a treat.

 

Thanks Smithy for the recomendation.

 

Very honest and straight with me.

dont keep it a secret share the recommendation, chuffed for you bud

3 fookin' years!!!! :shock:

3 fookin' years!!!! :shock:

 

That's nothing.. mine has been sat in a poxy garage for 4 years now, not going anywhere..

 

 

Course it's my poxy garage.. so that doesn't really count, but.. ;)

have you mapped it now? How much boost are you running and was it dyno'd?

 

well done anyway :D been a long time coming

Yeah all mapped and Dyno's the Garage is Advanced Motorsport and Egineering in Milten Keynes. Worth the drive.

 

It's only running a bar of boost for now as i'm getting spark blow out and the fuel lines from the lil fuel thingy under the bonnet need upgrading and not worth pushing it until these are done.

 

But to be honest at this current point in time any extra power is pointless as the race logic wont let me put any power down as it is. on 10% slip the rear kicks out in most gears. have to leave it on the wet setting to put my foot down but you can feel it holding the car back due to lack of traction.

 

Moving forward, need to remove weight from the front, maybe put some more in the back. Bigger tyres and my new diff fitted. Get my spoiler fitted for downforce, any other suggestions appreciated.

 

It's not drivable with the traction control turned off.

 

The power curve is very strange, it's not that fast until 4k and then omg!! To improve low end i've been adviced to purchase adjustable cam gears to improve the timings.

 

But all the power it higher up the rev counter not so much lower down.

 

It was loads faster with 4 in the car and especially when i drove it home as the boot was full of heavy parts.

 

As for fuel consumption, 110 odd miles i used about £25 of Vpower. at £1.11 litre. So was rather impressed seeing as the hire car used about £16 which was a 1.25 clio. But around town it used allot more as you could imagine.

Starting this morning from cold.

 

It's not so happy being started from cold, have to keep the revs up a tad to stop it from stalling, guess it's to be expected with this level of tuning. Also turning it over i'm happy with as it requires no throttle and starts on the key, but takes a few secs to start. Thinking perhaps a red top or yellow top battery will help this. My battery is just a cheapo from a motor store and getting on a couple year old now.

 

But it's all good in all. Now to start saving again for the next stage and can now finally enjoy the car.

being cold shouldnt effect it with the idle, its possibly a mapping issues or a slight problem elsewhere, my guess is its a mapping issue and the map doesnt allow for higher revs until its reached a certain temperature

 

glad you have it back and running mate

Thanks, it's so cool to have it back.

my friend has a skyline and its not possible to drive it normally its either rape the engine or nothing, due to fuel pressure and map to match. it fouls the plugs at idle.

so i would suggest the mapping is checked properly, i dont really think engine temprature would effect the map, if that was the case i would be looking at idle air control that would make more sense, as this opens like a thermostat when engine temps reach a certain amount!
