Going a bit off topic here (not wanting to start a new thread) but seeing as we are on the subject of ignition. I have an intermittent problem, my car will stumble every now and again it might do it 2 days in a row then it might not do it for a week. When it stumbles the tach drops down rappidly...

7M FTW 7M PWR

My car is an 89 and my intercooler inlet/outlet is 2" so yours should be the same.

I think the priciest (is that a word?) MK3 I have seen here in the uk is about £5k which is about $9-10k and that was a clean car with 40,000 miles on it. No way would anyone in there right mind pay that sort of money for a MK3. A 1988 toyota MR2 was recently up on ebay for £13,000 ($25,000) but...

When I first got my car back together after an engine refresh, I fired it up only for it not to want to run below 3000 revs. After lots of head scratching I remembered I had for got to put my block off plate on the back of the manifold so had a 20mm air leak. Or by far the worst, took it for its...

Custom 3" pipes and a jetex 3" muffler with a 5" x 4" oval pipe Here is a qucik video clip at idle with a few blips to 2500rpm http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f365/bad7mgte/?action=view&current=000_0230.flv

Fixed, autos are good if you like going fast in a straight line not so good if your into twisty roads.

My car is an 89+ with a 7M crank and mine has oil squirters, I thought all turbo 7M's cam with squirters being as there their to keep the pistons cool.

How can one get the cam caps in the wrong place they have numbers on them to identify there location:wavey:

Depends how heavy my right foot is feeling, I have done 220 miles on half a tank sticking to 70mph all they way on cruise. But I have also done 200 miles on 3/4 of a tank with lots of boosting. Average is about 275 for 3/4 of a tank I always try to fill up when it gets to 1/4.

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my eyes my eyes make it stop:eek2:

Going from a stock elbow to a 3" will not really net you anymore peak power it will just reduce spool time. There was a websit that I can't seem to find anymore where the guy did a dyno run for every mod he did. He gained about 4hp but lost about 20lb/ft of torque when he swaped out his stock...

How much heat does this keep out of the engine bay and in the exhaust??? Because if it does a good job i might do my down pipe. Does it also reduce engine noise to being as it covers the exhaust??

Mine has been sitting for about 4 hours now thats how long i have been at work:wavey:

All this talk about weather 50 weight oil is good or bad has me thinking if its supposidly so bad why is the new castrol oil for the BMW M3 10w 60???

What other mods did you have at the time??

No need to put anything over 32psi in your tyres unless you have a car full of people all the time. I would think with 51psi in your tyres your contact patch will be tiny and you will wear out the center tred on your tyres very quickly.

I would like to back up Al on this one, I accidently drove my car with the base timing at 10 degrees after tdc I only drove it for about 5 miles and it got very hot indeed. Timing has a massive influance on egt's.

Like Al siad injector size has nothing to do with your fuel consumption, at a certain load condition the engine will require a certain amount of fuel. Driving normally and not getting on it would use the same fuel with 440cc 0r 1000cc injectors.

Very nice work, is the bonnet going to shut with the turbo there?? Or are you going to run a custom bonnet with a scoop straight into the turbo?
