Poor excuse from Forge really! Hope you get the Big Race cooler soon as I want to see pics of it and the install
Hope you also get your TB sorted, sorry to read mate.
Could be an excuse to get the larger R32 throttle body now
I may have one for sale mate just checking my new engine to see if it comes with one will drop you a pm if it does
You must have not read my thread when I mentioned mine doing this! I have two throttle bodies now..! I found the use of a proper break valve stopped meth seeping under vacuum and then sitting in the throttle body, and a shed load of electrical cleaner on the rotating plate and pickups worked a treat!
My spare throttle body will be available in the next couple of months when I return from the US and sell the car!
Yeah, i picked up a new one today in a breakers yard, only €50, happy days, i need to buy a spare now.
Hopefully they will have a "box" tomorrow i need to get this fitted because the front of the car is going in for a respray, i don't fancy taking off a freshly painted bumper.!
I will if you give me the money, LOL.Bigger TB + intake manifold is next on the list anyways.
Nice one Dan, thanks
I didn't see that in your thread, i must go through it now, i do use a check valve supplied by Devils own, still though when i took the TB off tonight it was soaked in meth.
Where did you locate your break value?
I had it located at the nozzle, literally an inch away. I still had a few issues though, mainly in Germany unfortunately. You will also find the methanol causes the rubber seal to swell, letting more water in
I don't think there is much you can do about it.
Yeah mine is about 2 inches away, thats a balls, meth eats rubber for breakfast.Someone suggest a spacer after the TB and before the IAT sensor, maybe this is the way.My nozzle is just after the FMIC.
Whats happened in Germany?
Jeepers, thats Murphys law right there, what electrical cleaner did you use?
My FMIC shipped today, thank fluck, can't wait to this bad boy on.
Halfords stuff, green cap. Pretty handy for washing you hands at the side of the road too!
I sourced another TB btw, low mileage from a BAM engine, the seller only wanted €30 for it, nice. Its gas i couldn't find one for love nor money a few weeks back and not 2 turn up in the space of a week.Anyways i am toying with the idea of removing the Methanol, its turning into a PITA have to keep it topped up and have a reserve in the boot all the time.
The rocker cover is coming along nicely, its just needs to be rubbed downed with 1000 grit wet and dry to remove any imperfections and the lacquered.
At the moment it looks kind of grey, the lacquer will darken this up.
I fitted a 25litre tank in the boot.. then you don't really have to worry about keeping it topped up too often!
True, i am working off a 4L tank, so it can run out pretty quick if you are on boost all the time.
The biggest problem i have lately is the pump seems to work intermittently, the controller in the car says everything is fine, pump light flashes as does the boost and power.But then i check the tank and it hasn't dropped at all, when i manually short out the pump to starts it up, it works fine for a period of time, its like its seizing/getting stuck.Its only 7 months old at this stage!!!
So now i have the thing is it working/isn't it working so i am loosing faith in it.
as I said previously Robert, the pump out in the elements/damp, will corrode.
JonathanP did the same.
I boot mount these inside only now.
tuffty has applied silicon sealer over all the joints of the one he's going to use and mount on his inner wing.
it might work?!?!
