Project 850 T5 AWD

Well since the last up date I had the dreaded MOT to take of and lucky enough the old girl passed, it even passed the emissions

I entered the conversion factor that I was sure was the right one and bingo, I had boost, or I did until at full boost the engine cut out and refused to start at the side of the motorway, lucky enough I carry a spare ostrich and the car started with it. Did what I needed to do and went home. I put the original ostrich back in and when turning the ignition on the radiator fan kicked in but the engine wouldn't start, reloaded the bin file that was on the ostrich and it fired up and ran fine.



I remember some saying that the TCV load set point had to be altered when using the 608 bin file on a 2.5ltr and I've noticed that my logged values are way out from the ones in the bin file. So I've raised the values in the lower throttle positions.





When we had some colder weather The old girl would run VERY rich when first firing up and would then run fine after 5 minutes. So I've got some new warm up tables which will help it run better on start up, just need some cold weather.
