@SuperUno, did you get a pic of the template at the time?
what did you do to your micra today ?
- Thread starter frank
- Start date
Dunno if its any help but ebb dudes micro micra project had a ptfe spacer. Was on cg tb but same basics
Trace round the gasket bud
PTFE cuts very easy with a good sharp knife to get the basic shape, drill and a dremel or file for the rest

Inlet and exhaust temps.
Colder air is more dense, if you can keep the TB and IM cool, you will also lower intake temps. Which in turn gives you the potential for a bigger bang, if coupled with a stronger spark and the right AFR you can gain a few easy ponies!
As for the heatwrap, given the source of the heat is the engine and the exit is the backbox, you want it to be as hot as possible leaving the engine to ensure good convection
And as for the spacers, they're there to stop metal to metal heat transfer from the block. The waxstat is there to hear the TB in cold temps to stop the IM from freezing over in the winter . Again, deleting it removes connection to the engines coolant system, meaning it's not constantly circulating hot water through something that, ideally, should be as cold as possible

waxstat delete means disconnecting and bypassing the throttle body coolant lines to keep the TB and inlet air cooler.
the coolant originally served to both keep the TB and MAF sensor at a stable warm temp (during freezing conditions) and also operate the primative waxstat fast idle mechanism (which nowadays tends to seize open).
after bypassing the lines so no coolant flows through the waxstat, the fast idle mechanism needs to be removed and allow the electronic idle valve control idle.

the teflon inlet manifold spacer posted earlier further insulates the inlet manifold from the very hot engine to keep the manifold and TB cold which overall results in cooler denser air entering the cylinders.
heatwrapping the hot components reduces the amount of heat radiated out into the engine bay and help reduce the temperature of the air that the inlet system is sucking

was that on the "bum dyno" tho matt ?

you have done a waxstat delete then matt, so the only way the t/b can heat up is via the manifold (which is what i,m saying
)

Just keep an eye on your mani and TB bolts though when using PTFE due to it's tendancy to cold flow.

Cracking guide @pollyp, just don't have the £70 for the data scan
If I drive down to yours and pay you in jaw drops, coffee and biscuits do mind helping me set it up?
glad to help out but I'm really busy with work n stuff till mid of feb.
if it needs doing soon, I'd suggest researching into the nearest affordable consult cable & software that frank n matt are discussing and check the IAV guide I wrote above.
but if you can wait till I'm free I can help on a weekend.
I'm a tea n choccy bic kinda guy

Had a go stripping a scrap door appart to see how much weight can come out.
Can anyone that's taken the impact bar out tell me how the got it cut out there's naff all room to get a saw it grinder on there and I know it's been done!

TB bolts are on my mental list of bolts to be checked, during a 'bolt check'

No massive rush really, just the sooner I can swap the cg13 TB with the ga15 TB.
My WIP has got a dodgy TB.
Tried cleaning the sensor(brown plug next to injectors), as that was clogged up really badly.
Carb cleaner and a microfibre cloth and it was spotless. Testing the rebound mech and it was resetting back the correct place. Popped it back in the TB, tested, andddd it's still sitting at 2k idle.
Tried adjusting the bolt at the back, no effect. Probably just need to resolder the points but.. Argh! I wanting this MOT-able and gone!
Hence why I could do with having my working one spare, even just as an elimination step.
Once that's sorted I can sort interior, bit body filling, MoT and then it'll ready for sale.
first went to the scrappies and found a tidy facelift that me and my mate connor are gonna scavange the petrol cap and exhaust off, it weirdly looks like it has a cherry bomb glasspack from the centre box where its been cut off for some reason, will find out when we take it off, then put my steels back on because the wheels i got from ade has below legal tread so put the steels on until i get tyres for the minilites, then took my mum out for out first long trip together to bath hospital for last orthodontists appointment, dont have to go there again! she hates the bounceyness hahaha!

Find some uprated rear shocks, will make the ride much less bouncy

did find a corsa sxi with shocks in it, tempted to take them out too but see what finances are like first
not this time hahah, next time ill make sure i do

You already have SXi shocks lol
what do you mean but uprated shocks then? and sxi shocks that probably arent battered like my ones are, they have been on 3 cars now!

I mean like sports shocks lol. Although if you get both for £20 why not eh, just need 2.5mm ground of each side of bush rememer

Tbh i cant remember, i think i used some fuel line i had lying around. I have a bag of asorted bits of rubber pipe often taken from old / scrap cars, and it came from that bag!
Uno try Muvi
Really good 2 of my friends have them for Downhill mountain biking and the quality is great even on a really mega rough downhill track so should be good in your car
cheapest decent one is around £60 I tink
