funny onion

i daren't even watch that video, i sound like a troll on videos >.< lol so yeah, fitting a fpr yesterday, all was well, took her for a drive and had a nice happy bar of boost, everything was sweet. sam drove her down the a63 and somehow the split the diaphragm on the fpr (i don't even wanna know how) so it wasn't holding pressure and was probably running lean as hell when being driven, but we had a spare fpr with us so decided to try swapping it. then cranked it up and it sprayed fuel everywhere, including all over poor murx . swapped back again, one of the clips holding the fuel line on the return gave in. massive nightmares were had in tesco car park. got back to sams and it turned out the fpr that pissed fuel everywhere had been wound right in, so we wound it out abit and everything seemed fine, was holding pressure after engine turned off etc, but from 0.3 bar above it will not boost and just misfires like hell. so i'm thinking for the time being (until i get a wideband) i'll just put the standard one back on. i use this car as a daily, and i rely on it 100% (can't get bus to uni from where i live) so i can't be doing with having to mess about every time i go to drive it. sad face but heres a few pics from yesterday! and i nearly forgot my favourite! lol

yeah! not sure on the camping situation but i'm up for coming down and chilling with everyone

and here is the manifold! still in need of a wastegate and screamer but hopefully will have one by the end of the month will have a bigger update tomorrow night/monday too hopefully

when my CV went, it sounded like the noise donkeys make haha.

well not to ruin the surprise or anything but engine has new cambelt kit fitted and is now in! lol all in a days work, obviously

cheers zoe it will be cheaper to go in the gt! vitara is stupidly thirsty haha, but it is better in snow drifts i suppose

right now it's running standard but spiking right up to 1.1 bar above about 4500rpm. so gonna up it to a bar with the external wastegate and get fueling and everything happy and enjoy it this year. i know i do seem to change my mind a lot haha. i would still love to go td04 and will eventually but at the moment i'll never be able to fund it properly, i would have to run it for about 6 months without a map so i'll just stay ct9 and squeeze what i can out of that and if i get a job i'm hoping for over summer i'll have lots of pennies for stuff but ct9 until then. unless my numbers come up on the old roulette table of course. need a wastegate and screamer though! cheap as possible!

so i'm going to pick up a wepr ct9 externally gated manifold asap just to get me by until i go td04, or if i like the ct9 at a bar i may consider going hybrid... also on it's way is a exedy organic clutch and i will be getting some pics of the livesports front lip now it's fitted, lots of progress recently

that's AWESOME! lol

i really like it, would have bee nice if the purple was abit deeper but still looks awesome, tints and a plain black sun strip

i would love one but i don't have that much right now :'( cheers dude got the front lip on now! will put some pics up when i get chance i think it looks wicked but i doubt everyone will like it . rear to go on as soon as i get chance!

best thing you could do imo would be to buy an aem wideband, gives you an exact air/fuel ratio, and get a fuel pressure regulator. even after a map i would have a wideband on the car all the time tbh incase it gradually starts running lean due to deterioration of parts like injectors etc. one of the main killer of engines when upping boost is that above factory boost levels they will most likely run lean because the combination of the standard fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump aren't able to keep up with the fuel requirement. if you just bang a fcd on it it will run lean every time you go over factory boost and the engine will give up pretty quickly. increase the fuel pressure by adjusting the fpr gradually use the wideband to check the mixture. running up to 1 bar the fuel pump and injectors should be ok i think.

yeah i look forward to the update when you get it back. will be awesome! got the front lip on by the way, looks cool, just needs to mould to the bumper abit with it being twisted. rear is going on soon

i wouldn't bother with a fcd if you're planning on putting the piggy back on and getting it mapped. just drive it accordingly, ie don't let it boost up enough to hit fuel cut. mine is terrible for it but i just keep an eye on the boost gauge. unless you know the fueling is right at the higher boost levels i wouldn't recommend a fcd anyways, it might go bang before you even have chance to get it mapped.

trying to avoid paddle clutch really, it's a daily and i sit in heavy traffic every day. but it is going td04 and ill be so annoyed if the clutch starts slipping. just can't decide what to do :@

yeah i thought it might go quick, very good bit of kit and a good investment. will be getting a wideband at the end of the month fingers crossed. i need a new clutch really. payday never comes at the right time. oh well shame this car is getting broken too!

awhhh man! i was gonna have the wideband! oh well would still like the civic rad...

there are so many things on here that i would love to buy!

i honest to god woke up thinking someone had a gun lol. it is awesome though. more appropriate for the road than launch control do you reckon then?

yes! anti lag is amazing! apart from at 5 in the morning at rising sun, at that time in a morning it's slightly less amazing >_<

ha saw a starlet exactly the same as that on the m62 on the way into hull a few months ago, got up along side and then realised it was a proper old biddy driving it. major waste lol.

can someone please explain exactly how it works please? i understand what it is and stuff but would quite like to know the technical/mechanical side of what's involved, and how the ecu knows to limit the revs? this might sounds like a daft question to some people but any info is appreciated and i'm only asking out of curiosity lol cheers!

got quite a few goodies waiting to go on, should hopefully get a fair bit done this weekend fingers crossed

this weekend yaaaaay

not yet, but when it goes on the car it should sort itself out, got a load of g clamps to clamp it in the right position until the bonding agent sets so should be fine
