kerry 10 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 a beter update this time , today she started for the first time in nearly two months, fire poped out the itb's AWSOME.... timeing was 180 out but man i wish i had a video camera cause it looked wicked, tryed again after a few adjustments and she started first pop. at first i was kind of disapointed with the sound but then as soon as the gates opend i nearly fell over. it sounds so agresive beyond what i was expecting so much that i probably wont sleep tonight lol. more updates and hopefuly vid (if i can) this week.

MLM 57 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 Ah good new! Awesome work Kerry What was the imporvement over the previous setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerry 10 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) im still adjusting at the moment man, it pulls hard all the way to about 6800 no worries but the old set up seemed to have a better torque feel. now its just a case of getting the driver to feel the car to get the benifits of the extra hp. overall im happy with it Edited August 4, 2010 by kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andre3000 55 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 here is the vid, please excuse the engine knock that's some sweet sweet music right there, minus the knock. Any luck sourcing the problem yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerry 10 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) thanks man , na havent had a chance its been flat out at work but i might change the oil im using and see how it sounds, end of they day if its bad enough il just have to pull the engine and rebuild. im investing it a stethaskope to help with diagnosis as i thought it was a lifter but im not to sure now.it doesnt affect performance and noise is only at idle so my next suspicion is gudgeon knock.so il drive it till it blows i guess Edited August 5, 2010 by kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerry 10 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 ok its time for part 2 to start but it will be a slow one as funds are demolished from part 1, in order to eliminate my knock i have been blessed with im going to franklin cams for some surgery and solid lifters, if the knock is still there after this it will be a full strip down but fingers x it will be $ well spent either way. update soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
