    wouldnt it be easier to swap the wheels over on the cars and then just photo shop the colour? would be much more realistic

    Small update, picked up a spare 4efte head and cams etc, and compression tested the engine in the gt, 10 - 10.5bar across the board, so by the end of the week the 4e should be out of the gt and ready to plonk in the V

    Ragz will be getting a personal visit from me, dont worry about that, just because he lives 320miles away doesnt mean hes getting away with it! The problem is engine builders are wankers, the only trade i know where they can do a shit job and get away with it! And im going for 75mm pistons in it witht he standard 5efhe rods, they will be plenty strong enough for 1.6 bar on a td04

    Another small update I bought a quadlight a few weeks back to fix up as an every day driver, but it seems that this is now becoming a donor for my V until the 5e is built, so today i set about stripping it down and removing the 4e to go back in my V until i can find the last few rare bits i need for my 5e Before After Ready for compression testing and engine removal tomorrow evening

    J25GTi replied to Azz's topic in Electronics

    sounds like permanent live and switch live are the wrong way around?
  10. J25GTi
    you mean m16, or a 16mm spanner is what you use to do it up?

    is the turbo timer keeping it on? i.e. when the timer finishes does the gauge go off? Sounds like switch and perm live wrong way round?

    Oh ideal mate, yeah i will 4e it and build my 5e to my spec how i want it and then do the swap, im shit hot at swapping these engines now will only take a day to do lol! was just thinking that looks like chinky daves v in that pic?
  13. J25GTi
    Im just going to 4e it for the minute and build my 5e myself, as it seems im the only one who i can trust with my car! and i just want to drive it now as its been 2 years its been off the road now

    So, the engine came back from the engine builders and i set about rebuilding it back up and getting it ready to put back into the V. And it was ready to go in, so i set about sorting it out! Wahey! 5e power! So after another thorough check over etc, we took it for a slow run to start running it in. It lasted for about 9miles this time before there were clouds of smoke billowing out from the back of the car while driving. So much so people could not see the road behind me! So, I rang the engine builder and he just put the blame on to me saying "it must have been fitted wrong!" Well
  15. J25GTi
    Right, So, in the hunt for more power, I decided 5e was the way to go, there is no replacement for displacement etc! So the hunt began for a 5e to build. In the mean time i did a deal on a Glanza S bonnet - I found a 5e advertised on the forum at a reasonable price which already had the 4e pistons etc in it (just standard non forged!)and newly rebuilt so i set about making a deal for it. I drove up to oldham to collect it from a member on TGTT (Ragz) a 5hr drive each way, but i didnt mind! So i collected the engine and got it home, it was clean etc so i set about that weekend to fit

    Im just uploading more photos, taking a while as there are a few and quite alot to write about
  17. J25GTi
    Right, well this is the story of my Glanza i bought back in 2009 and the trials and tribulations that come with owning these cars! Ive always wanted a Glanza ever since i was about 16 and seeing one at college as it went past with the sound of the turbo spooling, exhaust popping, and fluttering as he lifted off. I knew straight away one day i would own one! I finally managed to get one at the age of 19 after a couple of months of searching and seeing some right dogs of cars this is the one i settled on! These are the images off piston heads when i bought it... When I saw it and took it

    so what started all that crap? Couldnt give a flying fuck about whos right or wrong, i think david gaye needs a fucking punch for wasting the beer...

    Well an update from saturday, Fixed most of the issues and managed to give it a quick test run- Fixed the turbo oil feed that had been stripped, had to drill it out and bolt straight through as there wasnt enough metal left to re-tap it. Replaced the rocker cover gasket as it has pissed oil out everywhere! I cant understand why lol! Head surfaces prepped and cleaned ready for repair And all finished! When i had the car running it was revving to 1500rpm with the idle screw turned all the way in and was billowing out smoke, I stripped it all back down again checked the turbo etc,

    ^ building a 5e sr, Nor me, random google fact lol!

    #All i have to say is, would you give $4,500 to some twat who couldnt even spell?
  23. J25GTi
    Hey guys, As some of you have seen i bought a quaddie, Now ive fixed the head, leaky oil turbo feed etc etc! Now, I have MASSES of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust and a 1500rpm idle speed. Now obvious culprits, turbo, and rings. But the turbo should be brand new and ive primed it etc. And the rings dont usually produce a proper stream of blue smoke? BUT, could a broken PCV valve be the cause of this? are there is MASSIVE mounts of blue/white smoke coming out. I think it might be slightly over filled with oil so im going to let it settle and check it again and drain some out if need
  24. J25GTi
    Ummm, so far the plans are replace the head, drive it until the mot runs out and then take all the bits i need for my V and scrap the rest!
  25. J25GTi
    Yeah i did mate, theres a few issues but nothing that cant be sorted, Hopefully will be back on the road in the next couple of days
