Check the vin plate to see if your car was originally fitted with the optional LSD. Number your looking for is : C56-01B

Vauxhall make great engines, but shit chassis. Lets them down really.

Coming along nicely Dave, will be good to see it all built up. When you hoping to have it all done?

I believe an engineer is someone who uses their initiative to design something, invent something. Everyone has their own take on who or what an engineer does, but I agree with the petition that the title of an engineer should be closed to certain professionals.

I think it is an offence, but as long as it shows up on PNC, I don't see no reason to pull you. I think normally its 5 or 7 days to display the disc from purchase.

Bump for a new month

I recieved this email earlier from my university about protecting the title and status of "Engineer" It would be appreciated if you could spare 30 seconds to sign, I'm sure I'm not the only person who gets annoyed being branded someone I'm not. Dear Sir, I am an engineering masters degree student at Swansea University. During my time at Swansea my fellow engineering students and I have decided that something needs to be done about what society thinks an engineer is and does. A careers’ talk was given last week to the secondary school children by a postgraduate student engineer,

You'll also get better mpg with a larger gap ;)

You can get as much power as you want. If you want a 1000bhp 4e, no problem. How useable it is, thats another question, and simple answer is it won't be.

Depends on the spec of the engine, wouldn't say a 4E will rev better as its been proven a 5E can rev to 9000rpm. F1 engines are designed to have a greater bore:stroke ratio.

Depends on the method of securing the head. OEM Bolts: Stage 1 - 22 Nm Stage 2 - 44 Nm Stage 3 - 90 degrees

Spuddy uses a t3/t4 turbo and that makes less power than stock up till around 5000rpm. Turbos way too large, waste of time and money unless your chasing dyno numbers. On the other hand, buy my gt28 kit

Fair enough, didn't think they would do that sorta thing over the phone tbh.

Theres no real advantage tbh, it all depends on the design of the turbocharger turbine housing and wastegate.

Another note to add is that a 0.5 bar spring, won't be sufficient enough to hold say 1.5 bar boost. So if boost pressure is going to increase, change to a stiffer spring as it will maintain a constant pressure.

I was led to believe that Darren wasn't able to get into the site as Dave had all the passwords etc, hence why the site is still up.

Yes mate you'll need to wire them to the ecu, if using sequential ignition which you will be, they will have to be wired into 4 seperate igntition outputs.

Using the cam trigger would be the easiest as it will save hassle having to fabricate something up to fit the stock location and get a signal. Will most likely use the same thing on my setup, and use an external crank trigger.

Bumpty

As large a gap as possible without blowing out the spark. Trial and error really, try 1mm.

http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/universal.aspx Select your filter shape then size depending on the space you have. If you are limited by space you may best opt for the Oval Tapered filter.

5w 40 would be ideal. Millers/Fuchs/mobil.

As promised mate: Note I have drawn a red box around where you need to be looking. G1 = Cam Trigger NE = Crank Trigger G- = Ground Personally I would still opt to use external triggers because the stock type are of the reluctence type, these are ok but give a pretty poor signal compared with hall effect sensors. The only advantage to using the reluctence type is that they require no power + feed. Look into Ford or GM/Vauxhall triggers since these can be picked up for pennies and are already pre-programmed into DTA series ecu's a long with other ecu's.

I have a stock wiring diagram that will help you wire up the triggers mate. I'll upload it for you tomorrow when im on my laptop
