  1. this is a strange one. its asif the engine either doesnt have enough flow to spool up the turbo or the gasses are bypassing the turbo completely but i dont see how that can be?
  2. hey man, nice looking v. dont worry bout jackal they are a good vehicle. nice to see you have a jackal 2 aswel
  3. rolling road day is next weekend. also charl picked up the custom exhaust m,anifold gaskets today. should make the manifold mount up sweet as a nut! watch this space.
  4. is that a mazda 323 turbo 4wd? they are awesome cars!
  5. just out of interest do you have a fuel pressure regualtor on your car? check that the two bolts for the adapter in the fuel rail havnt come loose. also as taggy says do the compression test hot. and the teaspoon of oil trick to try and raise compression by sealing the piston better in the bore.
  6. OMFG I LOVE THIS THREAD! i work on mondeo diesels at work and ohh my god!! they are slooooooooow! we also have a volvo d5 v50 chipped and tinkered with. now thats a fast car. dynoed at 210bhp and nearly 400lbft torque i believe. but even that runs out of puff at about 4500rpm. lol.
  7. lol oh dear. this car is getting passed around like a cheap thai bride.
  8. check the timing marks dude. you could have possibly jumped a tooth on the belt. if not then a cylinder leakage test is needed. could be rings or anything.
  9. lol ive just seen these on facetube and find apps for phones now quite amazing lol. all works off the tilt sensors inside the phone doesnt it?
  10. my friend has one. to be honest you really have to rev that tiny engine to get it to do anything. seems slow to me. the car is heavy and the engine is reletively small. better off getting a is200 and putting a 2jz or even a 1jz motor in it in my opinion.
  11. just read that and yes i can see the points from both sides. if money is being passed around and not actually helping capture this ''joseph kony'' then you are lining someone elses pockets with gold. but then again if this man is doing these crimes against humanity then he needs to be stopped. lets not forget the bigger picture aswel, money makes the world go round as they say. well if not money why not just act on the subject. its the will power of many that makes things happen.
  12. defo seems steep that dude. its only a bumper ffs! give them a slap and a tickle and see if they will do it cheaper.
  13. good luck with it bud, you have a better starting point than i did. have a look at project shedlet to see what i mean plenty of people on here breaking ep82s though.
  14. damo yes he still has the fogs, i didnt buy them as i have other ideas. im not sure on the grille.
  15. has the old wastegate i.e actuator penny washer been blanked off i.e left closed?
  16. xbox :- A T0Y BUTCHER i usually play cod, gears of war and sometimes skyrim.
  17. does it stay on 0 all the way through the rev range? ive heard that the td05 can only create boost when the engine is around 5000 rpm on the 4efte. yes the piping is correct on the wastegate, the pipe needs to go to the compressor side of the turbo. and if your not creating any boost check to see if the external wastegate is being held open. this will cause the gasses in the exhaust manifold to basically bypass the turbine in the turbo. but it will sound like there's no exhaust on the car.
  18. @starbuck, im a civvy that works in the army bud. have done for nearly 10 years as a hgv mechanic.
  19. this is me a few years ago stood next to a rtch (rough terrain container handler)
  20. 95 ron unleaded round hull ranges from 133.7 to 139.9. super is around 4p on top of that.
  21. right then guys and girls. the car i miss the most was my CA18DET almera. that thing was quick, lsd box and a turbo with side exit. lasted a week before going bang lol. and for now i have a run about that is a beast! the vitara won the show and shine at JAE 2011 in the suzuki catagory with 9 points! (it was the only one in it though!)
