cheers andy

Rs has taken a back seat for now since the mk4 run around has arrived. But i got a 165 powerchip installed tonight, so when weather gets better i will take it for a spin with a few more Psi

Desperatly need a uprated Fuel pump next then another trip to torque of the devil

[knuckles]

Got the Matching mocal oil pressure guage and the Proper mk3 grey dual guage holder





Looks factory fitted now
Just got to plum in the oil pressure line to the Ford T piece and extend the illumination wires from the clock to the ''A'' pillar.

I had to undo the right hand side of the dash and pull it out slightly to get the air line and oil pipe up to the ''A''pillar. Lots of swearing involved whilst holding a tesco wind up torch

Looks really good mate

I Purchased a uprated fuel pump from motorsport developments which is the same as the escort Cosworth pump which is good for 350bhp

Should be with me by tomorrow. Now looking for a -31 actuator now as i know that will be needed next if i rolling road it again with the Proper fuel pump.
gonna keep it running Blues for now and see what bhp it can achieve.

Got the 165 chip in and it seems to have removed the boost limit but it wont boost over 11psi

[knuckles]

took delivery today of the uprated fuel pump.
got some new bolts to secure the fuel tank to the chassis and a new gasket for the fuel sender.

will attempt to fit it saturday

[jayrs]

[knuckles]

now get that 195 chip and beige injectors in it

ive had mixed views on the 195 map from a few ppl.

just Wondering if i should rolling road it with the 165 chip and the blues to see what i can squeeze out of them with the new pump ?

[jayrs]

new pump or not, wont make any different as i think ya getting all you can from that

[Excursion]

Get the hell out of my office

Fitted the new fuel pump today with a few problems as usual.

i took the old fuel sender/pump jayrs sold me back when i had a xr2i, removed the ford pump , soldered the new pump wiring connector onto the sender then used heat shrink to seal the joints. Being a aftermarket item it didnt like sitting in place so alot of fidderling later it was ready to fit.

Drove the car on to the 2 poster car ramp and lifted it up. Wd40'd the nuts holding the tank into place , uncliped the fuel pipes at the back then dropped the fuel tank down enough to gain access to the fuel sender. Didnt have a special tool so i gently tapped round the locking ring to release the sender. pulled off the pipes on the top of the sender and got a mouth full of unleaded

replaced the old pump/sender with the new unit and got it back in within 20 mins.
The new pump is so much quieter than the ford item.

What a difference a new pump makes to the normal driving of the Car. Just pulling away and the general running is so much smoother.
Had a little blast on the way home from work and its a completely different car ! it gets to 5000 rpm and wants to keep going
Id advise anyone whos Rs is running a bit rough to fit a new pump. my old pump is 18 years old and was well due to be renewed.

[rob pace]

i need a new sender, my fuel gauge goes all over the place once ive got over half a tank!

[jayrs]

told ya it was a easy job mate.
easier for you as you had the use of the ramp

[knuckles]

yes certainly a big advantage with the use of a ramp. I would of been going mental laying on my back doing that and wouldnt have any room to manouver the sender in and out.

I only had one hour till they closed and i was just refitting the fuel pump in the tank. Started at 11:45 finished at 12:45

[jayrs]

good going mate.

when i done mine it was cold, wet, getting dark and i was laid under the car with hardly any space, i remember it well, as i had the same problem with one bolt as you, and the rachet slipped off as i was hanging on it and i smacked my finger on the rear beam so hard i didnt feel it at first till it started to warm up.
first time ive felt sick from hurting my self, as it was a proper whack too.
not like you in the warm and dry

[rsonblackwheels]

good stuff mate, like the new gauges look very tidy

sounds like fitting the new pump went well, mouth full of unleaded sounds nice

[knuckles]

i used my christmas long bar on that rusted bolt with mole grips on the top spring washer

[jayrs]

the christmas long bar

[knuckles]

Let there be light












Clock is now back where it belongs as the boost guage is on the a pillar



Ambers are back !
And are back for good

[Dave G fsi]

Looking really good mate

[MAD_Adamski]

love this dude

[RS rob]

wicked progress with the fuel pump,
awesome it can make such a difference

cant wait for some new power figures soon????????

[knuckles]

Ive got the T3 running 15 psi yesterday
blanked off the dump valve and it chatters so loud now the actuator is fitted.

Its a animal compared to before i renewed the pump. Thinking of putting the beiges and 195 chip before the rolling road setup

It was 170 bhp last time running 10psi max

[RS rob]

maybe speak to TOTD about it, as the 195 chip is a bit marmite

gauges look smart to, not ott either
is it a nomad a-pillar??

[jayrs]

nothing wrong with the 195 chip, i got one fitted, as long as you get it set up it will be fine, there not plug and play like some people think they are.
and the super chip chips are not as good as others, but i have a superchips chip and its fine

15 psi, bit much really mate, i would knock that down a touch tbh

[knuckles]

gauges look smart to, not ott either
is it a nomad a-pillar??

I got it from burton power along with the oil pressure guage
think its a nomad one but not to sure.

the fuel pump has made a difference regarding fuel consumpstion. £15 fuel didnt even last 80 miles on wednesday

, mate when i changed my fuel pump i noticed it, my car was running fairly lean for a month before hand, was peob the most economical FRST going! even matey at power engineering said and i qoute " how the f**k that engine isnt fcuked i dont know!"
thing is it used to run alright with no tell tell signs, but then again at the time i wasnt really booting it about just normal driving so it didnt require the extra fuel, like yours, but once you know its in there you wanna use it/try it

[knuckles]

15 psi, bit much really mate, i would knock that down a touch tbh

ive dropped it down to 12 just in case.

was just wondering if it would go over 10 psi which is the limit on the ecu.

Thinking about a FMIC now

[knuckles]

Get your sun glasses out again people !

[jayrs]

oh helllllllllllllll no!

[jonboisescort]

that was a shock

and f;;k me thats bright
