    Excellent job guys, its not as bad as you think it would be is it? Apart from all the little things that go wrong. Just wish I had a garage to mess about with mine more often.

    Hi James,

    excellent work - hope you're pleased with the result. If you're anything like me you'll be glad the job's over but happy with all the new things you now know :-)

    Cheers, Pete

    Tell me about it - hitting the rev limiter, or my favourite which was stalling as you pull to a stop and forget there's a clutch you have to press now :-)

    I think it's made even more weird by the fact it's the same car that was an auto - I don't stall my missus' car 'cos I remember that's a manual...

    Oh well, doesn't take too long to get used to it.

    Enjoy, Pete

    On The R/R

    Well this afternoon was the test of the conversion and to be honest with you all i was ££££ing it, would the engine hold?, was the turbo any good?,...well yes it all stayed in on piece no smoke at all, apart from my 15yr old rad which decided to develop a hairline crack so going to replace it, and a small oil leak at the end but nothing major by the looks of it(oil rtn seal).

    So the peformance.... it's over fueling in the mid range which can be adjusted(going back week sat) and im going to get the boost up'ed a touch.

    Fly...288.74

    Wheel...264.67

    Well happy with the smooth power and constant all the way to 6200 with no let off.

    Cheers

    Hi Duane, using a piper x panal filter with miltec cat back 2.5" with standard d/p no cat straight through, no money left for a race cat but will put a 100 cell in when funds allow me, it was over fuelling badly in the mid-range and thats on orange's refurbed by Jimithan, so going to get the fuelling toned down a bit and the boost upped a little(1.3 bar) and give it another go week sat.
