THe map sensor should be located after the throttle bodies in the plenum,i tapped a thread into an egr blank and placed it there.

Ive tried both myself but not favoured either to be honest,any idea why the loop gives a less stable reading? seems odd doesnt it.on my inductive gun its ok to leave the clamp closed but some dont and add 10 degrees? all sent to try us i suppose Lol.

you ever use the loop by the ptu Jeff ? or always the coil pack wiring.

75/90 Semi syn box oil,fuch make a good oil for these cars,buy 3 litres for the job.get one of these for the job http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Draper-Oil-Suction-Gun-Hand-Pump-Syringe-Gearbox-Diff-/140571723349?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1298622081781877332 easier than Vodkashots philatio method :blink:

I just think its the new walnut vaneer,will go out of fashion like all things and people will be ripping it off in droves once its not seen as "cool" anymore.

Leo gts has a spare one matey.

Not farbon cibre bud,its a faze.once its run its course youll be ripping it off quick style imho of course :mellow:

Yeah you,d never take a mould off that should the interest arise would you :whistling: :scooter:

Have a good un big fella,glad you enjoyed the day :happybday:

^^^^^^ And that Pete is exactly what would happen .

Youll need a helicoil kit if the thread gets damaged,e bay sell them,m8 x 1,25 will sort it.as long as you get the studs out you should be able to fix the threads as long as you dont go past 6.8mm on the drill bits youll have the correct amount of metal left to recut a new thread with a tap.You must use a good drill bit and make sure its centered and well lubed whilst your drilling.dont use too much pressure as youll overheat the tip and blunt it.Do you have a B & Q near you ? iirc they sell m8 bolts and stuff like that.M8 X 1.25 X 30MM will be good replacements.

Take the one out of your old engine Ian,hammer n chisel out she will come,clean it up the re fit to the new engine :clap:

Too true,need hands like a baby,frickin japs didnt consider westerners working on them.

Yeh passenger tubbie is the easier tub to remove but the oil pipe is a a real pita,i doubt it could be done in situ.Drivers tub oil feed is a dream to get at.

usually ring or piston related when that happens im afraid.A compression test may reveal the offending cylinder,worth a try.

passenger side would prolly be impossible,drivers could be done no trouble.its getting to the bracket that holds the pipe to the snail,would be best to remove the turbo,swap the pipe then refit it.

Youll need to trace the wires the emerald needs at the old ecu plug,cut and solder them to the emerald harness.

sounds good to me.put me down for that one.

yes mate

Alrite alrite,just saying in case you never know :tt2: cant assume on here .You prolly have some silly fault there,if you can get back to the basics it should help.does sound ecu related.does the fan run constantly?

You need to a run a 555 map with those injectors,it will overfuel badly on a stage one 370cc map,the ecu will open the 555,s longer as it will think its running a lower flow rate injector.

Your welcome,love your car,clean straight and a great colour::cool2:

Hell yeah,big coolers need looking at imho,i love seeing Aluminium and lovely tig welds on them,looks the *****x.will set your 99 spec bumper right off :2guns:

The map sensor is useable and so is the wideband 02 sensor,you may need an egt sensor fitting depending on your state of tune.John Dixon is the guy to speak too.The final mapping is done by Dave Walker who is a legend in tuning circles.And the mapping is a fixed price. Jaffa,yours still not up and running fully yet?

Many aftermarket coolers need the ducts chopping to fit them,trouble is the ducts mask them so you cant see them,peeps need to see your aftermarket intercoolers :cool2: imho
