Bump! D -
Anybody got any experiences with them? Any comparisons? I know a few people run them but none give a fair review of them, driveability, service life etc, Any input welcome! Thanks D

You've asked about turning the boost up in another thread. Unless you've got supporting mods its pointless doing anything. You'll only cause more problems for yourself and in turn kill the engine. Start by doing simple things like a cat back exhaust, air filter, decat etc. Then a different map would make sense, which isnt possible on the standard ECU. D

Timing belt removal w/o air gun?? Fitting of air relocation kit
Starlet__SR replied to Kirsty's topic in MOT & Maintenance
Good. And if its the kit from Dean I found that I had to trim an inch or so off the silicon hose so it sat between oil filter and turbo. As for shockers. I've just thrown two front ones away last week lol. D -
I know matey. Was quoting billy sr. The engines are lovely to work on lol. D

Easier way to save any slipped spanners is to get a socket on 2 long extensions with a breaker bar, same trick with the car in gear, brakes fully on D -
Looks really well. Not bad vans to drive either! D
-
Check both alternator belt, power steering belt. Either could be screeching when you're putting high load on the engine. Pennies to replace. D

I had a buddyclub spec 2 on my civic. Not the best idea lmao, hondas are way too loud lol D

tips on engine replacement?
Starlet__SR replied to ryan lang's topic in N/A E-Series Engine Discussions
Best think to do Ryan is make sure you've got everything disconnected before you even think about dropping the engine. Obviously like others have stated, pipework and associated earths etc are best marked up or a picture taken, silly little things like that can make life difficult if forgot about. Gearbox is best to be brought out with the engine then swapped over once out of the car. Far easier to refit lol. If there's anything you have trouble with you've got my bbm! D -
Cover the area with masking tape, mark out where you want your cutout and use a hole saw, hopefully the drill should be able to locate enough so the saw can start cutting. Also helps to hold a piece of wood or something to the back of the bumper so it eliminates flex/warping. D

Taggys EP70 Boxy, Forged TD04, 5E-FTE
Starlet__SR replied to Taggy's topic in EP70 & EP71 Progress Blogs
Sleeper. Not shed lol. He mentioned taking it to shows. And besides. You wouldn't think twice when its sat on a set of minilite lookalikes with a tidy tip poking out the back. It would atleast look tidy sat on some nice wheels. Sleepers can come in different forms lol D -
Yeah can do matey. Theres quite a few, DavidAshton, Craig-SR and a few others in your area. Why not get it on the road this year? D

Taggys EP70 Boxy, Forged TD04, 5E-FTE
Starlet__SR replied to Taggy's topic in EP70 & EP71 Progress Blogs
Why not just go for an outward rolled tip? Would look retro sat on a set of Rota RB's! D -
Nothing too much then lol, if you need a hand matey i'm only in worksop. D
-
What need doing to it? D
-
No problems, they're good guys and will make it exactly to suit. All work is guaranteed for life and its brilliant quality. D

Not off the shelf, there was a Fujitsubo system for the N/A available in Japland but is uber rare. Your best bet is to go custom. My advice would be to go to Custom Pipes in doncaster. Great place and the work is spot on! Either that or wait around for a second hand system to pop up. D
