Silver C70 T5 - Manual - 400BHP

Finally got my recirc pipe work back (many thanks to Graeme) - got it plumbed in - works really well. No more irratic idle on closed throttle.

32mm branch welded on at 45 degrees. I felt this would help with the recirc as it push air toward the turbo.

Few shots of the installation with the wire re-enforced AST silicon.

Roll on Tuesday.

ASNU recommended a Bosch 300lph pump - so I'll probably go with that.

am pleased it dose what you wanted it to. almost there now. i bet im nearly as execited as you are to see what this motor can do.

**Wobbly Dave** · Friday 1st March 2013, 22:19

And quite anxious that it will all be well. I haven't run it on WOT yet.

**graemewelch** · Friday 1st March 2013, 22:29

im sure it will. if anything bad was to happen im sure it would of by now. i think we should all put a quid in and who ever ever gets the closest to the bhp wins. when its fully tuned of course

WHP sweepstake (Wobbly Horsepower) sounds good.

thats the word i was looking for. thought it was but didnt want to sound stupid lol

**Wobbly Dave** · Friday 1st March 2013, 22:48

probably not. it seems a bit wierd when running partial throttle. I tried 3/4 throttle and fuel map seemed to be huntin/hesitant. I don't need to worry yet as I have no idea what AFR it runs yet. Patience is not my strong point.

Dave, 1st thing i would do is fit an afr gauge mate, you really need it otherwise your running blind

**Wobbly Dave** · Friday 1st March 2013, 23:51

this is my one

Thing is - I don't see how having a permanent AFR gauge will help me - as I cannot change the map. Lot of money to spend just admire the figures.

Bad news today was the sump plug is still weeping oil. We noticed this on the first oil change - someone re-tapped it but slightly on the pi$$. I've nipped it up as hard as I dare - but it's still weeping a bit. I have a spare sump, which can be swapped off the old engine - but I am wondering it PTFE tape may be easier?

**LiamT4** · Saturday 2nd March 2013, 22:00

But surely one of the advantages of having an afr gauge is that if there is an issue with your afrs then you'll know about it.

Yeah either PTFE tape or loctite string
