hodge Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Big question is: have you solved the problem? Don't know til I fire it up but I'm quietly confident lol. Erm I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Fuel system is now all primed and ready to go. Ryan is sending a map over for the injectors tonight so all being well I'll try and fire it up tomorrow. If all is well then great, if not, I'll leakdown test the engine and go from there. Here's a few pics I took today. 1000cc precision thanks to Michel Lane. Still some more clutter to be removed from here yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 bit of dirt on them runners mate I didn't bother cleaning them cos the injectors have to come back out again when my ID1000s turn up. I'll clean it all then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 hope all is sorted mate, Do you run it with no filter or is that blue thing just for the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 hope all is sorted mate, Do you run it with no filter or is that blue thing just for the pictures. I've got a 5" pipe and filter to go on but it's untidy. I'll stick it on when the cars used for the road and swap it over for shows etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 plus they scream out when the velocity stack is fitted Spool up sounds a little quieter with the velocity stack on than a totally open turbo. But I've never had it under load with the filter on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it still has the same issues then unfortunately it's going to be engine issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well guys she ran. Once I got it started there was no backfiring or missing on start up at all. It ran for a while then after a few things were changed it cut out. But we've moved forwards. I'm now 99% certain there's no Engine/mechanical issues. For what was the cause of the problem, I've yet to find out. I'll be speaking to Ryan tomorrow and hopefully we'll get it running right. After that I'll investigate what actually went wrong. I'm pretty certain that the water temp wire was the issue, and not being helped by utter crap injectors. Once it's running nice, I'll replace all the other parts 1 by 1 and see if any of them effect the car. And I'm sure Michel would like his parts back. I'll work my way down the list and see what happens. Igniter, Wideband, Crank sensor, I'll keep you all posted with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
