leigh l

Took my dad out in my old one, the smile on his face said it all, he said that when I put my foot down it felt like he was going down hill on a rolacoaster, Jelly belly he calls it lol

Reliability is most important, if its going to be unsafe then it will not be upped to 24psi, its fast enough at 14psi anyway, it should be imense at 18/19 psi. Thanks for your comment.

Yes, I have new stock hg's and not sure what compression ratio I am set up at, but I have had a compression test and all is ok. Jeff @ zedworld will be talking me through what needs to be done and will be testing everything before I even consider upping the boost.

Would 24psi be unsafe with the mods that I have then? Reliability is the most important thing for me, I thought and have been told that these tubs can handle 28 to 30 psi, thats why I thought of 24psi as it is well below the max and leaves a safe margin, but if 24 is too much then I will be lowering the highest setting, I want as much info as poss before I get an ebc fitted. Thanks

just worked mine out, 13.9 mpg, thats just stop start around town, 120 miles to 39 ltres.

Thanks for that, I will be taking it to Jeff at Zedworld after christmas to make sure everything is ok, he will be installing the ebc, I will only run it at 17psi then untill I can get it mapped by John Dixon or some other compitant person.

420 rwhp @ 14 psi?, What power u running and at what boost. Is their anything else I would need to do before upping the boost to 24psi, obviously their will be 4 settings on the ebc, I think I will go for 0, 9, 17, 24psi, gradually upping the boost, 24 psi leaves a safe margin as I believe these tubs can handle a lot higher boost, plus I only have 555 injectors anyway.

Oh my god, acceleration is mental, god knows what power its putting out, but it feels a lot quicker than my stock one. Mods are jwt 530 tubs @ 14psi, forged engine fully rebuilt, godspeed ic's 555 injectors, rps clutch and lightened flywheel and pulley set, koyo rad and electric fan, egr and water bypass, full exhaust and new wiring loom, probably missed something. What would the estimated whp be at the momment and what do u think it would be when I fit an ebc, highest setting at 24psi? I cant wait.

Its going for sale, she cant be arsed to spend any money on it, I cant blame her, she will be going for the p10 primera now.

I never just let it idle, I just drive it off boost untill she is up to temp and before turning it off, I drive off boost for a few minuites.

Only another hundred miles or so to go and it will be run in, will get then tightened then

Short journeys, may give it a long run today

Checked the water cap and all is clear

The car has just had an engine rebuild which included hg's, must be just condensation, I hope

oil

I think its time to get rid, I think she wants to go back to a p10 primera 2.0, she never ever had problems with it. Could it maybe the matrix leaking, I felt down by the passengers footwell and it is soaking, mind you, a seal had come loose going through the fire wall, it may have been that.

If it was hg, would I get water in the oil?

Could this be just condensation? No white on dipstick and this morning is very chillie, not using water and runs fine, I do get a lot of white steam in the mornings, but I assume this is normal.

I keep filling the water up and it just seems to be vanishing into thin air, I no these cars are prone to head gasket failure but it has had a new one about a year ago, their is no white gunk under the oil cap or the dipstick, the car runs fine, just sounds a bit rough as it had a helicoil fitted as the thread had gone, is their another way the water could be getting into the engine, I have noticed that their is a lot of steam comming from the exhaust even when warm, any suggestions? Thanks Bloody crappy rover engines

Can u tune the m5, Im thinking that if i had one, maybe would supercharge it ha ha, maybe an lpg conversion would help too

The z is my every day car, so if I was to get one in the future it would be replacing my z, how do you think it would compare to a 450 whp z?

I have the JWT 530 bb's at 14psi at the momment, aint put my foot down yet as still running in engine, cant wait though ha ha and yes I have supporting mods.

Just wraped a piece of wire around battery terminal and tightened securly, all is now ok, Thanks guys.

How hard is it to fit the new grounding kit?
