Mad me, nah...

Im only going to run the smallest jet (to start with)..

Let me know if you need a hand sorting your car... Youve got my mobile number.

David

 

I was actually joking, 50bhp would be plenty

 

thought you were joking you just never know these days

david i may take you up on that offer, i am really think about the fuel pump idea.

 

Some New Pictures...

Checking alternator bracket fits... I was going to use an aircon bracket and drive off the aircon pulley, but I changed my mind...


TPS sensor wire is too short so needs extending.. Didnt fancy just using connectors so it has been cut and soldered...


Might as well extend it using the correct colour wires...


Out of scrap box... possibly going to use these to make the belt tensioner bracket (IE the otherside of alternator bracket that is on the power steering pump normally)


Couple of wires soldered, however my heatshrink had paint and cr@p all over it, but who cares..


TPS Connected Up...


Nitrous Solenoids...


Bottle and some other bits...


Also bought a probe power steering and Aircon Belt as it is about the right length... just need to find a cam belt tensioner pulley...

Also Suggestions on nitrous pipe... in car or under car?

David

David, i know you said you need a cam belt tensioner and as i have not read back it may be for something else BUT i have a aircon belt tensioner pulley/bracket which i am going to throw out tomorrow... let me know
My Diy fmic has been put on hold mounted evrything up and the gtir i/c looks so small.... obviously bigger than the oe i/c but size is evrything
Think my first waste of money has been the i/c
if plans dont change then gtir i/c will have to do...
Rob

 

Definately nos pipe in car!!
If it leaks/splits it will be the funniest thing thats ever happened
On a serious note, it shouldnt be a problem running it through the car.. a lot tidyer... less pipework under the car to get caught/broken??
Rob

 

David

i dont know, you just never seem to stop, whatwith the new dog and all

When i had the nitrous on my 106gti i had it underneath the car, i attached it down the side of the car, along the lip where the standard jack attaches to, no scrap or splitting, just mega fun.

ahh they were the days 170bhp in a 106 gti plus 100bhp nitrous injection. Boy did that humiliate M3's.

I am going to look for the wiring instructions if you need them, or you could try nitrous express if you are desperate.

 

I like the NOS kit.
Removal of lag is always a good thing. Hope you have a spare gearbox\clutch lying around tho (Thinks about buying stock in a clutch manufacturer)

Does the NOS kit include the Size 8 Training shoe show in the bottom of the pic, or is that from another project

Still watching with interest: keep up the good work.

 

So how are you doing with the original £150 budget for this project?

 

cough... Well on target

Size 8 Trainer... I wish... Im size 11.

Rob any chance of posting a pic... ?? (ill drop you a mail as well..)

David

 

When is your ban up by the way, is the beast going to be ready before or after you get your licence back. ?
keep up the good work, very interesting

 

David, sorry mate i've got no camera at the mo
basically it is a pulley wheel which has its own bearing, it is attatched to a bracket which is pretty hard to explain
To be honest, if you dont mind it cluttering up your garage i will post it to ya, only cost about £2??? postage.....
I will donate the postage to to the david wallis fmic fund..
So, let me know your adress if you want it and i'll post it up to ya..
Rob
p.s. i cut the tie bar out that is in front of the radiator...
it has doubled the ammount of space in front of the rad now!!!

 

Rob YHM....

I might not use it though as I went to dickinsons in horsforth today... .go down from lawnswood roundabout.... turn left at shell and then left before charlie browns....

the only scrap yard in leeds - open on a sunday...!!!

only thing is its a fiver for everything...

Anybody know a pub in leeds that keeps the bottles outside?

David

ps probably just less than a year left on the ban.... 18 months... Im not saying any more than that on the board though!

David.

Shame you live so far, i manage a nightclub..
What do you reckon the postage will be on a gas bottle
Rob
p.s. dont get caught nicking empty bottles from a pub!! full ones gotta be chained up.... however, if you use oxe+ace..

 

Didn't someone set themself a two week deadline?

You, sir, are certifiable. Amateurs don't use NOS. Hope it's the PRO PRO PRO kit!

 

yeah he has only got 6 days left i think, and from what i saw on friday hes got his work cut out.

best of british david

 

Busy at work steven? post count is going up!! seems like theres only you and me about today!..

Pah, I aint a professional, therefore I am allowed to use nitrous!! Certifiable... oh yeah!

David

 

david

i'm very busy at work thank you, too many bloody tax statements of account to check and agree/disagree with b4 31st July, its just repetitive stuff and checking to our computer records.

dont remember passing 200 posts

 

that would be the red wine then!

Ill give you that money at york if you want?

David

 

yeah no probs, do you want your sensor back b4 then??

 

dont think so... Ill let you know if i do.

David

 

Just a thought, David (and I hate to be negative when you are quite clearly in the happy grip of insanity) but how exactly are you planning to insure this beastie?

I just insured mine for 250bhp after a 6 month ban a year ago, and they still want £2000!!!

Admittedly I have no NCBs to speak of (damn damn damn) and I am single and under 25, but still.....NOS really bumps the price up from what I gather.

 

Ill not be driving this on the road again... will buy a P1 or sti 7 when the ban runs out... Im 22 and have 3yrs no claims.. Ill pay the insurance... Im not sacrificing my hobby just because an insurance company want stupid money...

David

 

don't suppose you can accmulate NCB while banned....?

 

Yeah, also watch they don't expire whilst you are banned..

You could insure a car for theft and fire only sort of thing and accumilate you no claims..

Why are you not willing to say why you got banned?

JGM

 

I can understand why Dave might not want to tell why he got banned. I had 'a 6 month break' and I felt so damn awful. And I had just been caught at over 100mph.

All I can do is convey my sympathies for Mr.Wallis.

Geting banned nearly cost me my job, if it wasn't for some very supportive friends.

I wish I had had David's techincal ability to concentrate on my car, instead of sitting in front of the TV for 6 months.

 

I didn't mean anything by it and if David is not willing to say then fair enough I just had not seen the question asked directly that's all..

Sorry ignore me then please..

JGM

 

lol...sorry too...did not mean to sound snotty!

is this a group hug kinda moment? lol

 

Perhaps we should take things slow as this is the first date..

<pause>

Oh **** sorry wrong discussion forum..

Group hug it is then!

JGM
