Bloody hell !!! all the crazies are out this week I wonder if all the other sponsors and business people in here are having the same problem ?? I will be glad when this weeks over ie: Person rang last night... why arent you at work?? Its six oclock......but my car is overheating Bring it in tomorropw morning.... I cant I need it Can I bring it to your house tonite....no, I dont want to drive it if its overheating Bring it in in the morning....... I cant, i'll bring it in at 4.00pm How much will it cost ??? How long will it take ??? God knows... I dont know whats wrong with it WTF is wrong with some people ??? another one Why didnt you ring me and tell me my car was overdue for servicing ???.......doh When is my car due for a service ??... I cant tell on the phone.... I dont drive it Thank god its only Xmas once a year You have to see the funny side of it all though..... maybe next week while I'm havin a beer in Thailand

Brake light switch faulty or not fitted correctly

Just an add on to this thread Everything in "Automotive Engineering" is controlled or determined by ratio's Exceed the engineering limits.......AND IT "WILL NOT WORK" Dont....hope....pray.....or think it might work... it will have been tried before you were born If its beyond engineering limits " IT WILL FAIL" Always research & do the maths... it will save alot of heartache, $$$ & hard work in the end of the day

If you want to run high boost you will need to be within the 8.5:1 ratio Simple really...its been done so many times before.... just work it out with the formula I gave you before The higher the compression ratio from this figure means you can only run lower boost settings On a ford that I turbo'd a few years ago, we ran 8.5:1 comp & 1.5 bar boost pressure ( 1bar = 14lbs ) Reliability will all boil down to how well the motor is built and the internal/external parts that are used Remember this..... detonation = "bang"........eventually Checking compression tells you frig all...except that you have good compession. It will not tell you the ratio you have. Hope this helps Cheers Glenn

Mileage will still be recorded in LCM, EGS & ABS as well in some models BEEN THERE

If its the sills...forget it....If its the lower door panels...still forget it Cancer in a car is ongoing Mechanical faults can easily be delt with Cancer is terminal...as in cancer = rust My answer to your question would have to be.... "FORGET IT"

Give me a call...I might be able to fit you in

Its probably the fan speed resistor block in the heater box. Some are coil type..some are blade type...depends Some are on the L/H side of the heaterbox...some on R/H side

G3 Automatic trans oil....synthetic is best About a litre

I just uploaded this on youtube Bugga that....I'll drive next time

You thought wrong Yuen was my daughters and 2 of their freinds

Its not to bad to do actually. We can get the whole front off in about 1hr to 1.5hr. Gives you heaps of room to work..specially on a hoist at chest level. First one would take you longer. Were doin them all the time

We had to do an alternator on a V8 2 weeks ago. Wasnt too bad tho

This is so funny...try it out http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1287792905

Very trueYou'll end up screwing it, if the compression is to high When I turbo'd a ford motor years ago I ran 8.5:1 comp and 20lbs boost Flared occasionaly to 22lbs We balanced the engine & cc corrected the combustion chambers We also did the calculations correctly and got the right comp ratio All good things take time...just be patient and get it right Cheers Glenn

Just letting everyone know We will be closed from the 21st of December through to the 7th of January I will be back on the 8th Cheers Glenn

You can always do things twice I have had too many times with modifications....you cant always source every bit of info you need

When I originally did this conversion I was running the original 318TI small case 4.44:1 diff I then went to a 3.91:1 small case.....I still wasnt happy I have now done the medium case 3.64 and the gear changes were still not 100% Bloody hell !!!! I FORGOT !!! Cleared adaptive modes in DME @ EGS yesterday She's all sweet now I was so busy I forgot that my install has adaptive modes in the ECU's. They had adapted to the original diff ratio and were all up the sh*t.

Nice car Ray

Problems like this should be scanned first with a good scanner. Before you start fiddling Will save alot of time & grief Cheers Glenn

The formular is : Swept volume + unswept volume divided by unswept volume Go figure ???......lol Can really only be done properly with head off...unless you already know the cc rating of the combustion chamber Combustion chamber=unswept volume You must also allow for the headgasket too because that creates more unswept volume The swept volume = Bore area X stroke Domed or dished piston tops also + or - the unswept volume You must measure the combustion chamber with fluid, using the spark plugs you will run in the car. Spark plugs also have volume around the electrode. When balancing an engine all this is taken into account, measuring and equalising the combustion chamber volumes so all cylinders are equal. All this must be measured to be 100% accurate Confused now ?? Cheers Glenn

I dont think it works like that. He is certifing the car Ring him and ask I might too, just out of interest
