Just had a little rummage is this the bit your after, its a bit dirty but should work fine I dont want any money for it anyway mate. Came across another spare gearbox too that I forgot about lol so if anyone wants a box from an ep82 let me know ill do it really cheap as I need the space, but it crunches when cold into second gear.

I've removed one of these before it was so tight there was no way it was going to come out from the outside of the box (well it may of done but I didnt want to break anything). I removed and split the gearbox then tapped it out from the inside, I had to remove the box anyway to do a clutch it wasnt to much bother. I think I have a spare one in my box of goodies if you need it Ill go and have a look.

Just trying to pm you mate about the bottom end as I've just returned from holiday. thanks Dan

I'm doing my test in 3 weeks time doing direct access costing me 700 passed the theory which cost 31 and cbt which was 120 sold my starlet to fund for a gsxr can't wait to get it. I've had a go on a few bikes off road totally different to a car. As you can't fall off a car lol.

Check the wire going to the oil pressure switch may have rubbed through somewhere if it earths out on the block it will bring the light on that would explain why it does it randomly.

I'm running a electro hydraulic pump from a puegot, saxo also use them made up a bracket and pipes it works fine gives more room by the turbo also able turn it on or off using a switch

I always get worried if I dont drive my car to work and leave it outside my house as my neighbours RS turbo was put on the back of a low loaded in the middle of the day never to be seen again. If my cars gonna be left outside my house for a few days I chain it to the lamp post, extreme but makes it harder for them to take it lol.

You are restricted with what you can adjust with the ECU you have, the only way I can see you being able to do what you want is fitting something like a bee r rev limiter and have your pops, bangs & flames that way, or sell that ecu and buy something which you can map like emanage or some sort of standalone fuel management system if you have a fair bit of cash lol.

You need to make sure that you set up the ignition timing properly to 10degrees before TDC using a timing gun and be sure to have the car in diagnostic mode (te1 & e1 bridged), if you advance the ignition timing to much you can cause det which can create damage to the engine, like cracking pistons, if you have it to retarded you will lose power and response.

Ill be down there at about 10.30 eric, jack might be coming down too, he needs to put some miles on his engine to run it in.

Sometimes you get codes come up without the management light triggering. Its definetly worth a check as it doesnt cost nothing, & all thats needed is something like a paper clip or a bit of wire to bridge over 2 terminals (te1 & e1). If a code does come up then it will point you in the right direction, rather than just spending money on changing parts that properly worked perfectly fine. But from what andrew miller has described above, I would go with what taggy said about the ignition timing. Sounds like its too retarded which is causing this problem & when he had the timing bel

You done a diagnostics test to check any trouble codes?

You could take it for a thrash but it won't help at all but may cause more damage like scoring the cylinder as it sounds like the ringlands cracked which is pretty common. probably due to the hks fcd and fueling not being correct perhaps the owner before ran more boost to.as you said drop some oil down cylinder one see if it raises if so definetly cracked piston.

Yes thats correct. Are you fitting an oil cooler or filter relocation kit then.

If the PCV valve keeps popping out it must have a bit of pressure behind it which does sound like you've cracked a piston, let us no the results of the compression test. It can be expensive if you take it to a garage but you should strip it down yourself and give it a go. If you get stuck or need a hand people on will be more than happy to help. What mods is the car running

Do a compression test that will tell you if its ringlands, when you say your breather filter is broke what do you mean, the PCV valve.

As already said do a compression test just to be sure as if it is ringland damage you may put a new turbo on & could end up blowing the seals on that too. Even though you did one 3 months ago you could of developed the problem within that time as this could also be the source of your mis-fire. Do a diagnostic test aswell to see if any codes come up, in case the mis-fire is something else, what mods have you got, & is there any smoke/oil coming out the breathers?

I paid £350 for a mint set with rails ready to bolt in.

Im running one of these but don't have back to back results of dyno sessions but just by driving it after fitting it felt better made 324hp at the wheels on a 4e last dyno session still on standard rev limit.

I've had to help a few people out before due to the turbo feed thead stripping, as its only an ali thread so it dont take much to strip it, when tightening the bolt you need to do it by hand gently get it started then tighten once its in, your best bet is to helicoil it. Or if that dont work, replace that whole ali unit.

Most aftermarket oil gauge sensors (pressure & temp) I believe normally use an 1/8 npt thread were as manufacturers (Like the standard oil pressure switch) use 1/8 bsp thread. The thread pitch for the plug on the oil filter housing is definetly 1.5 but Im not certain on the size. It looks like an m16 to me but Im not 100% sure as I have nothing to measure it with, so this is by eye. The adaptor you need should be a, Male M16 X1.5 to female 1/8npt.

My starlet is 324hp at the wheels its a lot of fun fast and cheap for what it is and what it can beat but if I had the choice and money I would probably get the skyline or something other than fwd because its very hard to put the power down but its definelty a lot of fun beating bigger cars and the look on peoples face is priceless

Yea the warning devices are legal to use on the Uk roads, but the illegal devices are the equipment which is used to jam laser guns etc.

Section 59 is one of the few powers a community support officer actually has & some of them abuse it by giving it to any car with a loud exhaust. I have a section 59 on my starlet at the moment, got it up lakeside for supposedly street racing, I've heard if you car is impounded 3 times for section 59 offences within the year then they have the power to crush it straight away, dont no how true it is.

Lol riko yea the clear cambelt cover has to be worth a few more hp haha, what i do need is a lsd wheel spin is ridiculous, I also need to put up a build thread as I keep meaning to do it but I always think ill do it once I fit this part, but I keep buying more parts.
