[Dave2290]

I proberlies won't.

 

[Dave2290]

With regards to the actuator the turbo is a t2 size so any actuator from that size turbo would be ok to use?

 

[SirChris]

Its balanced and put together like art. Only pull it apart of there is an issue

you will probably have to clock (twist) the housing dave, so the garrett bracket wont fit anyway, just get a universal actuator (half a bar ish)

 

[SirChris]

No frank... A bar.. Or two

Thanks frank I'm not looking for a lot if boost at first as it's only going on my 1 litre with ga16 injectors at first. Then the plan is to fit a cga engine and then have so e real fun. Anyone know what sort of gains I can expect on my 1 litre. I'll be using nistune etc.

 

[frank]

you should be able to double the hp no probs eh dave a 7psi actuator and simple ball bearing manual boost controller to adjust it up a bit

That's good news obviously that's with mapping or standard ecu?

you can ghetto it like i did, but i blew a few engines tho i,ve not blown one since the nistune was fitted (1 yr + )

@frank do you go check for the shot gun effect on the cam breather when you have pushed the car... Surprised every time that the ringlands are alive.

catchtanks my butt

 

[SirChris]

@frank yeah its very odd getting nothing. So used to it pissing oil everywhere. Haha. This mapping malarky is quite cool.

[SirChris]

And frank... More of that oil will be draining back down the pipe... False test results frank... Tut tut

It's good to know yours has been reliable for over a year. I need my car everyday. It will be turbod mapped etc in a space of 2 weeks once I have all the parts needed. It's going to be like a military operation haha. For the price if nistune and mapping etc I really don't see why someone would go without it for reliability I can't wait for my BOOST HA

 

[SirChris]

Its worth it mate. Since a day before jae .. I have pushed the car a lot in some scenarios. High speed runs for extended times, with allowing some cooling runs. Sprint runs and what not. I would of blown a couple engines up in this time. Nistune is the way to go mate

Fantastic I just want it to be reliable, don't want to worry to much about the engine going bang, and at the same time surprising 'Better cars' ha

I think we worked out that Chris's car was doing 60 in something like 7 seconds...

 

[SirChris]

I think we can shave seconds by a decent clutch, solid mounts and proper tyres

[SirChris]

And more appropriate view of performance is 30 to 90+mph

Update: corsa coilovers are on now and rear shocks. By far one of the easiest mods. Rebored the top mount holes and used a m10 and m12 bolts on the bottom mounts. Ride is so much improved after being on cut spring for months, almost stock like. I've had the fk coilovers before on my old focus and I can't fault them!

On a depressing note I'm on the stock steelies as my 2 front tyres on the mini wheels are bald for a couple of weeks. Going to take the opportunity to do the wheels white

 

[Dave2290]

With regards to anti roll bars. For mot time if a car fitted at the factory with a arb does it need one to pass mot

How to prove one was fitted from factory ? I took mine off and went through an MOT okay

 

[Dave2290]

Anyone know what sort if gains are to be expected from a frank speed mani, knocked out cat and a panel filter or a almera box on a cool pack 1l??? I know it will be minimal but is around 10bhp optimistic?

Any views or feedback is awsome

 

[Huggy444]

I'd of thought 10hp would be possible

 

[Dave2290]

Awsome. I know the 1.3 responds really well from breather mods.
Cheers

 

[Dave2290]

Does anyone know what size the 2 bolts are on the first cat are??

 

[frank]

thread size ?

 

[Dave2290]

Yeah

 

[frank]

10mm metric fine maybe ?

 

[Dave2290]

Possibly. I'm trying to get an idea before I take the car apart as I can't get to a store to buy new bolts after

 

[frank]

they,re stepped too eh dave (for the springs to locate) 99% sure they,re m10 fine

 

[Dave2290]

Ahh right I may just go to the scrappy ha I may need a new cat anyway so may just give the scrappy £30 for one and have the bolt and decat it ha

 

[micra racer]

Do u still hav the wheel spacers if so how much and ur cars looking sexy mate

 

[Dave2290]

Cheers man and no they sold last week

 

[micra racer]

Ok mate

 

[Dave2290]

So finished refurbing my wheels today and knocked a spare cat through. I'm off work next week so all will be fitted and coilovers will be adjusted. Also if anyone has a facelift passenger side wing I'd happily take it from you

 

[Dave2290]

First photos with coilovers new front tires. Rear slight scrubs with 2 people and a full tank on big bumps

Any better pics mate?

 

[Dave2290]

Unfortunately not as I was losing light :/

 

[Dave2290]

In the picture it looks as if I have front arch gap which I don't I actually have slight tuck thanks to the camber on the front sort of a better pic anyway. Will be doing a little shoot tomorrow
