how far is it rotating? 1/2 inch - aircon compressor energising? , as above , fuel injectors open all the time filling the chamber with pressure? try disconnecting air con plug, pulling fuel relay , start relay ,all plug leads , one at a time -see what happens ?

You need to fully charge the battery over a longer time -fast charging can knacker the battery jump starting , get the car running and the alternator "sees" a low battery voltage so its regulator puts out maximum voltage and current - this loads up the alternator and the extra torque required can cause the belt to slip/sqeal 1 start of an engine can take 10-20 miles to replace the charge for that start alone ,let alone charge the battery If you leave the car parked up worth getting one of those sunlight powered trickle chargers and plug it into the ciggy lighter-they are only about £15 -wont do much if you park in a garage:innocent:

Its the engine turning backwards that is very odd thing , and only when ignition is on -there are very few things that can cause this ! find this first and it will probably explain the ignition issue - usually there is only 1 problem that has subsequent effects any links to a wiring diagram? and I will take a look -and list points to check , to eliminate components such as the ignition switch itself the starter can only go backwards if supply has swapped ie pos volts on the earth and the positive making and earth return , even a low voltage will try and turn the other way but not fully crank Slow and logical is always the way with these type problems ,and again rushing to complete the project can always lead to simple errors , being tired ,or darkness /rain coming on can push you to rush things If you just start swapping thing all over the place you can introduce new defects that were not there in the first place , now it will get complex!!

I guess the shock loading on the driveshaft was too much , is it solid or hollow to allow twist -either way too weak There is a guy out Milton Keynes way who can make them to spec using helicopter main drive material and hollow to allow twist, think he does them for konigsegg

the main bat positive goes to the starter, if the connection is askew and touching the starter case its now live(or lead trapped/chaffed -something like that ,probably why battery discharged rather quickly

If the power has swapped then the engine is live not earth,so "grounding" the plugs is in fact powering them etc

Sounds electrical/earth problem, the starter has reverse current flow, it uses the engine as an earth return,so the engine is not earthed to the battery, in fact probably the opposite!! Check your leads and connections especially at the starter

Upgraded brakes from stock,stainless lines, coilovers and manual are for "lesser" cars

Considering selling my soarer,fully loaded ;air suspension,elect everything, EMV,digital dash,decat stainless exhaust ,leather elect seats,steering wheel,even ultrasonic wing mirrors!! Low boost so will last forever,and a sound to die for .. PM me for details ,

It works unbelieveably well , the crap that comes out of what you thought was a clean engine is an eye opener - atf has a high detergent level -as any small crud in a gear box can cause big problems due to small passageways and ball valves ,so it breaks this down . on turbo cars you dont want any high revs to spool the turbo ,just idle or fast idle -cars with hydraulic lifters it keeps them gum free and stops them ticking , you can also just add atf just prior to changing the oil at a normal interval too. Somehow the engine seems to run run smoother post flushing ,but it could be all in the mind

Given the Unknown nature of the new engine ,and your previous engine ,it may be worth flushing the oil system out knock up a mix of Derv/ATF/cheap oil , slightly overfill and run just above idle for 5-10 mins Dump the mix and replace the filter - check out the crap that comes out!!! Do a compression check on the engine after this - at least you then have a clean engine with known compression for reference You dont hang around do you? - thats commitment

Obama turned up with snorkel,flippers,and a huge ball of duct tape -- after some consultation ,and a brief look at his book of sounbites called it "a disaster of unprecedented magnitude " BP will blame the rig operators,who in turn blame the safety valve manufactures ,who in turn will go bankrupt instantly and say "stupid place to put Fish,and dolphins anyway , what with all that oil underneath the gulf of mexico" Cynical Me?

The enviromental impact could be huge , it would continue to pour out oil for years unless stopped The problem is its 5000 ft below the sea , the water pressure is over 2000 psi at that depth ,and only remote vehicles can be used , plus the oil is under huge pressure from below -just how do you stop it?

Has anyone read the scale of the oil spill of the US coast - Its quite alarming !!! The well is 5000 ft under the sea ,then it taps into the oil field 35000 ft into the earths crust!! The oil/gas under the ocean floor in the field is at 170000 PSI !!!!!!!, This when it let go caused the collapse of the whole rig There is now a 5 foot pipe open, gushing oil out with all that pressure behind it This is going to be one technical feat to stop it ; they are considering drilling a second well ,to try to relieve pressure, and considering building a dome to "drop" on top of the pipe/well to stop it Thousands of gallons of oil is escaping into the sea per day ,bear in mind 1 litre can contaminate 200000 litres of water for wildlife and essential plankton etc This could take a bit more than Bruce willis to fix this one -answers on a postcard to BP ....and quick!!

how is the PCV plumbed in ? is it a NA one or TT ?

http://www.suzukituning.com/General/VialleLPi/Vialle%20LPi%20Technical%20Manual.htm#_Toc26108855 Thats an outline of the latest LPI system, I have read that results have been had that make more power than with petrol epsecially with turbo cars -

total power output= desire/cash available x sq root of the missus new kitchen cost

You had one of those Frankenstein moments ;"The beast lives":) Just the one small oil sensor problem?

I suspect a bit faster than that , and fuel prices to double within 2 years, £2.50 a litre will probably effect how and what people drive

"By the way The Gurkha's weren't mercenaries hence why they are in a Regiment. When it comes to the Military that's something I do know about " I know that- the point was that if the only reason that they served was financial ie mercenary, then they didnt really suceed did they !

http://www.chrismartenson.com/ " the crash course " this is a reasonable place to start some investigation ,take a look( its about 1 hr for all chapters ) and then post your comments

The whole "British" slant is a bit odd - there isnt and never has been an even distibution of wealth - the immigrant population has far less of the wealth Take away the Govt,common land,church land,etc - and the privately held land is still in the hands of the descendants of the Norman invaders of 1066 ,who were French... Tommy Atkins may have went to war for the country , but still returned to his 400 sq ft of it , oddly Mr Singh also went to war for the UK ,and never stepped foot in it - go figure ! If the likes of the Gurkha s were mercenaries-they weren,t very good at it

You are nearly there mate , as to starting its just a slow methodical series of checks one by one ,air, fuel,ignition,timing ,wiring - as you had not even a hint of the engine firing on any cylinder -it should be a bit easier Once started - it will - before mapping to big power- check again,and again ,throttle opening ,leaks,all voltages correct where it should be ,all air systems opening closing and leaks . A couple of leaking clamps or drips can ruin your dyno time and spoil your day ,usually its one of those DOH moments! Once done and running well ,you can then alter a few things to give small improvements such as flow straighteners at the bends in pipework and reduce the 90 degree bends ,add oil to the charger rotors,get pressure drops and temps ,and adjust the boost etc So far you have done a great job!

Maybe , there are more currencies that are not so great,and are mathmatical diasters waiting......

Portugal, then Ireland ,then italy, then Spain/Uk its a bit like dominoes:) A race to the bottom
