ok mate. thanks for the advice. i think i'll be going to see mr burwash before xmas!

nope. its me too. thats why i hardly ever bother with the site.

ok, it popping out the exhaust really bad now... wouldnt be surprised if it was popping flames for the amount of fuel i can smell. is there anything else anyone can suggest to check?

there is actually a sr clock conversion chart somewhere, and that shows the sender wire in the loom behind the clocks, do a search for it bud. yes a filter and corolla intake manifold will make a nice difference, i was mighty impressed when i did my old n/a, but i prefer the standard airbox with a uprated panel filter.

you can use a slot in the diagnostics box ( not sure which one) or you can tap into the green wire on the bottom wiring block on the distributor. i hope your doing a how to on this? as i know many n/a guys would be very interested in it!

well i try phil, you need to learn some DIYness! @ idrees: ive been told you can replace the crystal that controls the rev limit, there was a extensive writeup on the tercel forums a good few years back... but ive no idea where it is now. the other option is to get a rolla one working in there.

si.......... i'll let you off but only if you GIVE me your front splitter. ;)

wheel nuts just bought these off oli to add to the new wheels.

the amount of chavs a hear say "es gota phaaaat dump valve on that white fing"... i have just always associated 'dump valve' as a slag chav term. i personally hate the term.

dump valve = chav term blow off valve = non chav term

yeah, i see where your coming from joz. i think one of the most beneficial setups would be the standard airbox with a much larger more direct feed with a performance panel filter, a bored out larger throttlebody, corolla inlet mani and a rev limit of 7k. then you would see some good gains. as i personally believe that the 4efe's 6200rpm limit is a bit too low with the rolla mani & airfilter. but each to their own. just realised we've completely hijacked this thread. sorry guys. ;)

apparently its a 4wd turbo.

i see what your saying joz but overall a air filter is designed to do one thing, filter air. the way it does this makes little difference imo, as you said this may make a big difference on a bigger engine where you can reap the benefits but on a n/a 1.3 it really wont make a huge difference. (the different filter materials make a difference however) i agree that for a small engine you should be trying to get as much cold air as possable, so the enclosed filter do help, but as ive previously stated i wanted to test the difference between a relocated filter (having air rammed in) at the banzai

hmmm i need a spare t/b... i may be interested..

sorry mate, i dont mean to piss on your fire or anything, but is that a 4efe inlet manifold i see there? and a 4efe distributor? im just intrigued to know how your car is wired up? is it using a 4efte ecu? good work on the updates anywho.

ah you see thats where your wrong joz. i have tried about 12+ different air filter combinations on my old n/a, including a carbon enclosed style filter and feed pipe, and i think it didnt make much difference, yes it was better at high revs with the rolla mani, but i hated only having power for only half the revrange. by far the best after market air filter option i used was my relocated ractive filter to the front of the engine bay, but even then i went back to the stock airbox.

well i had it mot'd a few months back which it failed to very high hydrocarbons i was told this was overfueling. plus when driving, if you stop at some lights for instance you smell fuel, really strongly, plus when booting it loads of black soot comes out the exhaust ( ive been told this is another sign of too much fuel) plus i get loads of black spatter on the rear bumber. as it looks like there is nothing wrong internally i'll consider getting it rolling roaded. but in the meantime can anyone suggest anything else?

uprated panel filter is the best option in my opinion, at the banzai thrash i ran faster on my first run with the standard airbox with k&n filter than on my second run with my ractive induction kit. but if youre going for a induction kit, i'd go for a green or apexi if you can find one!

ok guys, the compression test came back ok! all cylinders holding 12 bar of pressure (170psi) so what next!? my dad recons it could be a tight valve, is this something quite common?

ive always liked those mazdas. they look awesome. rev pretty high too!

heres a vid of mine on my ep91 it actually sounds a bit ropey when the car was missfiring, but it sounds better now. no idea what exhaust it is, its a yasma certified one anyway, and this is with a gutted cat and no mid box. & a pic

why didyou post pictures shelly!! ive been sick everywhere! it still looks shocking. i felt the same way about the astra vxr, but that was starting to grow on me by now, but i still hate this the more i look at its ugly face.

custom make your own. its not that hard if you can weld.

fantastico! very nice phil. just remeber what i said about not having a spare ;)

i think its the most awful looking thing vauxhall have produced yet! i cant stand the look of it! sorry shell!
