Exxxcellent.....


[Mr.Burns voice off]

 

some more good news also

Insurance sorted.

150BHP increase from standard (guesstimate)
that makes it a 71% increase in performance.

QUOTE= £1,316:70

£950 excess
courtesy car
legal expences
fully comp
garaged @ home
6yrs no claims (not protected)
and an sp50 resulting in 42 day ban..

not bloody bad


Andy

 

Christ alive! That's how much I am paying on my MY99 with around 270 bhp!! But then I am only 24!

 

Hmmm spot the difference !!



Now do I....
Cut the plugs off and get some plugs to fit?
Cut the lugs off the side of the plugs and get the original plugs to fit?
Change the injectors?

No one mentioned they wouldn't be a screw in replacement

Andy

 

Andy they fit easily, give me a call and I'll talk it through with you, too detailed to type it all on here.

 

phone call made and all is clear.

Cheers Bob much appreciated

Andy

Edit to add, all you have to do (in laymans terms)
is basically cut the left hand lug off the new one shorten the overall height of the cap (so the plug goes in further, and then bend the pins so that they reach over to the correct side of the socket (in a Z shape)

Easy

hopefully ending up with something like this.



Andy

Just try not to drop the injector in the process

 

Injectors are in.

Muchos cranking later and she fired. <PHEW>

lots of "white mist" from the exhaust and I started to float round the garage....
sounded good though, Idling like a proper rally car.

So I backed the fuel pressure off to 2.25 BAR.
no visible fuel vapour in the exhaust now, although the AFR meter is still shining as brightly as ppossible, full on BLUE at all times.
I guess it's going to cost a few quid in juice to get over to Swindon Fiday.

Tomorrow... inlet pipe

Andy.. remember.. Bore Wash.

May be easier to fit injectors at bobs.. doesnt take long.. but kill fuel pump first.. otherwise.. lots of fuel in cylinders

Be carefull..

David

 

it's only 20-30 miles away...

easier to back off the pressure than swap the standard ones back in.
Not to worry I will be keeping an eye on it.


Andy

 

a couple of hose clamps and I do believe we are there.







Managed to run out of heat wrap though, grrrr.
So I cannot wrap the intercooler outlet pipe that goes past the headers under the car. here's hoping the air flow over it will be enough !

Andy

 

a little test for the ears


http://www.ashlyn.plus.com/video/sneezeraudio.wmv

And that's about 1/2 thottle up to a 1 BAR boost.

oh and there is no dump valve fitted yet

Andy

 

Mapping,
I was early, Bob wasn't
Much messing with the wideband as the boss in my downpipe has not been tapped properly [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
and we are away...
All going well, looking promising !
200 on the vacuum please Andy... no problem bob
Fueling backed off a mile
starting to feel strong already
0 on the Vacuum please Andy... no problem Bob.
and so on until we get to 1.2 BAR

Right says bob, I want you to roll on the throttle... NO problem Bob

till we get to 1.4 BAR and then revs go skywards

MARK A... HELP, can I cross your palm with much silver.
In return... can I have..








A CLUTCH! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]



Andy

 

Sounds like a sperm whale speeded up to me

 

LOL..

Flywheel too?

David

I have a std clutch and flywheel if needed.. brand new..

David

 

http://www.jscspeed.com/wrx/clutch/fidanza_fw.htm

$299.00 this is the flywheel i'm going for

 

Yep flywheel too,
must have toasteed it by now, been round all my friends "showing" them how it goes.

More fecking money

 

If I'm pulling the box off, there is no fecking way I'm putting a standard clutch back in... but thanks for the offer anyway David.

Andy

 

Lol..

might be worth getting some gearbox mounts off mark too..

nice price

it wont be the last time the box comes off..

Ps you can remove driveshafts by pulling box back off input shaft.. (knock roll pins out of shafts)..

Pull box back and to the side.. thats one off then push it the other way and the other will come off..

Worst comes to the worst and youll have to split one sides bottom ball joint..

You know how to release the clucth arm?

remove starter, remove hex plug.. screw in 10mm bolt and pull bar out..

David

 

I was going to ask you where those piccys of the clutch arm you put up are!
But I'll probably work it out... If not, I'll be back to ask

what sort of price are we looking at for the mounts, I'm pushing the cost limits as it is with buying a flywheel as well...

Mark can't be out of his pit yet, as I've had no reply

Andy

 

Oh another thing...

What spark plugs, I'm still running the standard 6's

Bob advised that they might get a "bit hot"

Andy

 

NGK Racing Plugs..

Not Cheap tho.

I run NGK Racing 8's.

you running pfr6's, you may be ok with pfr7's..

David

 

yep pfr6b

 

Marks up,
buying flywheel and plugs off him ASAP.

clutch will have to wait as he's out of stock
and I got no money...

Andy

 

by the way, that 10mm bolts a 6mm. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

engineering terms 6mm = 6mm thread 10mm head

was fingering that hole for quite some time, but my bolt was just too big!!

Andy

 

Andy you will need '8's I think !!!!

 

 

See david, Once you get into it andf get your hands grubby all thought of when it will be running drift away..
You become more concerned about whether your ribs are gonna get crushed when the box finally lets go of the block.



Right then that's off, come on Mark... I'm twiddling me thumbs now.


and here we have the slippery little bugger!


Hot but not bothered..I think it would go again but it would be sacralige (sp?) to put standard parts back on.


Andy

 

When were talking about plugs...when will you need 8's instead of 7's ...??

Boost/Bhp ???

Have been running 7's and it's about time to change them...

I'm currently running a TD05/06-20G @ 1.3Bar

btw Bob your tip about fitting the injectors are super,
as Fuz's pics shows
