Great project and nice to see you're putting the engine in the right end
No problem Bubba.
Looking for a spare diff to try, and maybe a spare complete box.
Gearing seems fine, but a tad low, got the biggest tyres on I can run, so only option is a higher ratio diff.
Mines a M56H box, M56hk wasn't in the list.
Looks like a 3.77-1 diff would be better, 10mph quicker, so would reduce the rpm.
Only really looking for a diff, anyone have a diff for sale?
What diff ratio options are there?
currently running a 4.0-1 diff in my Autougrass car but finding it too low geared.
At the end of the straight I'm touching on 7000rpm, could do with less revs. ...
I'll have it unless I get sorted sooner.:)
Might just wait and go for a Quaife then.
Hoping it would be a straight swap for mine.
Wheres the best place to get a Quaife? Are there any used ones available?
I have a welded diff in my Autograss car but interested in trying a viscous diff, I understand they were fitted to v70r.
Would it fit into my M56H box?
And has anyone got a spare one?
Tested wiring as Bubba suggested, no faults, so refitted ECU.
Running on 5 now, sounds much crisper and livelier.
Thanks guys for the help and advice.
Thanks Bubba, makes sense now.
Tested injectors all read 14.5 Ohms.
Will check for a short later. Had a word with the electrician, he says a short would be obvious, melted solder or burnt wiring.
Receivedan email from Emerald, stating that the driver had possibly been overloaded.
He suggested I check the resistance of the injectors, should be between 10 and 16 ohms, easy enough.
But then...
Result. Posted the ECu yesterday, just had a phone call, injector driver repaired free of charge. Will get it back tomorrow.
Big thumbs up to Emerald.
ECU gone to Emerald for testing/repair. Hopefully back in 7 to 10 days.
Spoken to the guy who built the car. He thinks that it's an ECU issue. Either the driver has failed or somehow the ECU has been altered somehow.
Will ring Emerald, see if they can check the ECU and...
When I bought the car I changed plugs etc, and noticed plug 5 was clean. So it's been like it a while.
Might have to send the ECU to Emerald to be checked over.
Removed injectors again, cranked engine while holding them, could feel pulses on all except number 5, swapped injectors, same.
So it would appear that my electrical testing skills are worse than I...
Compression test results,
From cyl 1
155,160,135, 145 and 160.
So it would rule out a mechanical fault, back to fuel issue I guess,
Will do a compression check this afternoon.
I've swapped plugs and injectors around, new leads, plugs etc.
Noid lights ordered, so they will prove the wiring for sure,I'm not good with electrics.
Checked wiring, all seems OK.
Got continuity between injectors and ECU, got 12v at injectors.
I'm thinking now that I'm on the wrong track.
Number 5 plug is clean/dry. If I remove plug leads one...
Thanks Paul, ordered a set
Is there a way to see if the injector is getting a signal from the ECU?
Will try that tomorrow, and check for continuity from ECU to injector plug.
Finally took some pics today. Autograss Class 10, T5 powered, Emerald management. Currently 260 bhp and 600kgs.

Discovered that my Autograss car is only running on 4.
Definately a fueling issue, injector number 5 is not firing.
I've swapped the injectors round, still no number 5.
Am I right in thinking that...
