[jonyb4]

yaaay its always something silly like that

once i couldnt get my 18 goin gin my mk4 [ERRR] i forgot to reconnect the fuel pump trip switch

[Smo]

Awesome Russ, great to hear! I could only do so much at the time and it sounded like the injectors were clicking at the time, but obviously not Glad you've got it sorted and glad it was something so simple in the end

[russ-RST]

thanks for all the support guys and advice its been a real help and kept me going with it and as always special thanks to simon for coming over on the cold days and rackin his brain for ideas

its all go now for saturday so hopefully by saturday eve i should have her at home and bathed and some pictures and videos cant wait!!
one thing i was bemused about: i went into ford today(well my mum did ) and spoke to the manager about gettina gasket to go between the turbo and the zorst manifold and apparently they didnt do a gasket for it its just a face to face contact... sounded abit strange to me as it looks like it should have a gasket just wondered if anyone could confirm this doesnt need a gasket or the ford bloke was chattin sh*t

either wway il try it without one even if it still blows im driving it home

[jonyb4]

most turbo flange - downpipes dont mate, we have many turbo examples at college that we strip and they dont have any either

i was also amased to see they use hex bolts, id have though they'd use something a bit more heat resistant myself

[russ-RST]

no i mean the contact between the turbo and the manifould (on top with the 3 bolts going through it) if that makes sense

[jonyb4]

hmm, not sure on that side, doesnt seem that inportant

[russ-RST]

its alive!!!!
found out the blow was coming from the downpipe part that bolts to the turbo id forgotten to put back in the small bolts in it lol
so off came the turbo and everything to gain acces to these chucked it back on filled with water and voila!!!
its a bit loud and smokey but its its first proper start up and its got a s/s scorpion from the downpipe back on it

anyway as promised heres some videos:
(sorry for the crap quality its on my phone :rolleyeyes: )

[frst toady]

tidy m8 bet u had a grin like a cheshire cat when it was finally runnin properly

[jonyb4]

Lol sound saying haha, glad its all[list=][/list] going well, ain't you a bit concerned to wether it cqn pass an not emissions test since its a post 92 red car? It's the reason why the rst cvh was discontinued

[russ-RST]

Lol sound saying haha, glad its all[list=][/list] going well, ain't you a bit concerned to wether it cqn pass an not emissions test since its a post 92 red car? It's the reason why the rst cvh was discontinued

im sure il find some way around that

and i had a bigger grin than a cheshire cat matey i was well happy going to put petrol in it and drive it home today

[Smo]

I'm sure older engines in later cars can pass the MOT, i.e. if the engine is pre August 1992, or something along those lines. You may need to prove it though...

[russ-RST]

i havent a clue on the subject to be honest with you mate but i know of a few people that know of a few mot people that are silly enough to put the emissions tester up the wrong car if u get my drift

so i dont think of it as a problem at the current moment


drove it home today
im never going naturally aspirated again i love the boost and the noise is awesome

will try and get a few vids up of it on drive bys and tunnel runs


only a few problems that iv found so far 1: the speedo isnt working properly its jumping between 10mph and off the clock

any ideas on what this could be??
it used to bounce before but was only about 5mph max of a wobble, think im just going to get a few gearbox sensors from a scrappy and try them and if that doesnt remedie it then get a new cable

and 2: the car will charge the battery sometimes and then over times itl be flat as a pancake im thinkin towards a combination of the battery has been run down over the conversion with the constant turning over and not actually being aloud to run properly and the connection where the cables from the alternator bolt to the starter motor looks a little minging so il have those off tomorow and give them a good wire brush before work and charge the battery up if i can find my charger

and then see what its like at holding its charge, the thing is it will sit idleing all day long and wont cut out bog down etc, and sometimes u twist the key and it starts straight up no probs and other times the battery is flat and it just ticks, if these two solutions dont solve it i shall get the current tested to make sure that the system is charging the battery and if so then shall just get a new battery

all in all a reallly good day for me and ican sit outside looking at my car now

hopefully i can wash it and sort the problems out within the week and post up a few pictures and maybe a video or two

[frst toady]

yeah get some pics m8 b good 2 c wot it looks like now,
and no-in wot problems there been i'd prob say it was the wiring again
check all the other earths when u do it, make sure there no other s**t 1's cos they all ad up...
by the way u got dump valve or u staying chatter (chatter sounds the funlumps on me T3 )

[russ-RST]

chatter alll the way buddy i cant get enough of it it sounds awesome really tempted to go for a drive with it now

[russ-RST]

just being put off with the fact the speedo doesnt work and i havent changed the cambelt yet so im not sure on whether to risk going for a lesuirely drive

[russ-RST]

sod it im "going to get petrol"

[frst toady]

lmfao u dont need a speedo long as u can hear that chatter chatter chatter

[russ-RST]

oh yes! iv been told to go easy in it as the cambelt hasnt been changed but i was goin round a roundabout and then realised there was a nice long tunnel on the left and couldnt ressist ! flooored it tilll abwt 3.5k let off and the noise is amazing nice deep rumble all the way and then the wastegate chatter when you let of is really loud and clear i love it

although i have found out that it likes to randomly everynow and then cut out when i come to stop lol, but if i dip the clutch and grab a gear before it dies its fine silly thing not sure whats causing it tho vac pipe leaking maybe?

[fezza89]

check your breathersand filters , i had this with my 1.3 and it was lack of air flow.

worth a try

someone else here mite have another reason why its happening

[russ-RST]

yea i shall do this whilst its warming up before i take it to work tomorow i take it all im doing is feelin to see if theres air blowin out of one of the vacs or a leak/crack in them?

[fezza89]

yeah just make sure u have a good flow of air, mine done the same, everytime i stopped at lights it went to conk out, had 2 keep the revs up all the time. cleaned all my breathers and filters and the thing was sorted.

hope its a simple fix like mine was

[russ-RST]

il have a little looksy tomorow before work then cheers for the tip matey

[jonyb4]

im willign to bet your battery connections aint as tight as theyre meant to be, or alternator/start if that...

its really easy for the batteries connectors to be loose and be overlooked, you'd think they not havr to be 100% tight but, they do

the starter relies on all the charge it can get to just start spinning, thats when if you fail to give it enough juice, you get a fu*ck you, aka a click

another thing, when i put the 1.8 zetec in my mk4 fez, i used the same gearbox, but my speedo would bounce and only read half, i never found out why

yeah get some pics m8 b good 2 c wot it looks like now,
and no-in wot problems there been i'd prob say it was the wiring again
check all the other earths when u do it, make sure there no other s**t 1's cos they all ad up...
by the way u got dump valve or u staying chatter (chatter sounds the funlumps on me T3 )

[jonyb4]

it aint got nothin to do with this blokes motor so why even comment in first place??

[rs220bhp]

Now now children, this is a car topic not an english lesson. You have both made mistakes with spelling/wording etc. Its things like this that ruins the site

[frst toady]

totally agree in a sense
just cant see why it had to be said in first place

[jonyb4]

nope i stand by your just a dick who cant be arsed to add a few more letters to each word...

and now you try the childish insulting me about age card so sad

[frst toady]

so whats your point then im sad cos i dont spell..... right o p nut
keep it about motors thats wot the site is about who give a fk how every1 spells well apart from u
long as ppl can understand what i mean whats the prob gammon slipper

[Smo]

I hope a mod can delete a few of these posts because this keeps happening in peoples' project posts and it's a bit silly.

Glad you're enjoying it Russ, I'll have to keep an ear out for you I'm sure you'll sort the problems easily enough. Most CVH bits are pretty cheap second hand these days, so if you need anything it's not going to cost you the earth!

[Ratspeed]
