This happens alot!. Check all fuel pipes in the engine bay are tight. Common leak points are between the throttle bodies and on the pressure regulators for the fuel rail. Mine was gushing out the other week.

Why? If they are genuine jecs 555's then all is needed is an adaptor kit

Rat jammed in the linkage

No Brian, I spent a good few hours with jizer degreasent and a pressure washer cleaning it very thoughly. Then oiled all the important surfaces. Then stored inside two bin liners on its stand.

Well its like the 3rd time I have had to re do it. Can't be arsed anymore :(

Dunno

I have started doing this :-)

Thanks james

Cool thank you, do you reckon a setup like this with rebuild auto turbos would give any advantages over stock location? are you going for the tdm works front mount turbo design?

James I'm loving the progress. I'm very interested especially in your intercooler setup? Where did you get the intercooler from?

Fit it, quality is fantastic, I am biased too as I have one, si doesn't show it in his pic but mine is the red swb with the white wheels at beaulieu.

this is the first top ring I have tried. Needs 0.008" removing to get to the required 0.017" gap

I have bought new diamond files specially for the job ;-)

I have 87.5 mm wiseco pistons I just wànt to double check my calculations for ring gap Wiseco spec for street moderate turbo/nitrous is as follows Top ring calc 0.005 2nd ring calc 0.0055 Now take bore size x ring calc For top ring bore is 87.5/25.4 to give fig in inches So 3.44488x 0.005= 0.0172" 2nd ring 3.44488x0.0055=0.0189" So top ring end gap 0.017 2nd ring gap 0.019 Does that seem right? Checked the top ring with out any filing and it's 0.009" so I have to file 8 thou off to get 0.017"

Hahaha. Home straight mate both other cars mot'd time to do the z ;-)

Deutchworks going by the dw

I have a project. Needs a little bodywork!

You can buy spring asisstor blocks for towing, they are a rubber block that goes between a pair of coils, they generally raise the car up a bit.

Can't find my z in the clubs garage! I use it to check stuff I have done so far but it's now missing?

Have you done a compression test yet?

Cool. What do you teach?

Shame you don't need 25mm hubcentric as I have two pairs of them! super forma are a good make which are the ones I have but they retail at £104 per pair!

Get some thick board down or some slabs temporarily for the project! - - - Updated - - - Would offer you my garage bud but I have problems of my own lol

345 diameter discs on the brembo setup bud ;-)
