  1. Got my car dyno'd on Saturday,

    Running .6 bar of boost standard ecu and engine on a hybrid.

    The car made 129 BHP at the wheels.

    And it made 184 NM's of torque at the wheels, how do I work this out to flywheel torque.

    I was told a rough estimate to get flywheel BHP is 20% of WHP and add it on.

    How do I workout the flywheel torque?

  2. TRY THIS FIRST!!

    The PCV valve is on top of the rocker cover and is connected to the throttle body.

    Take the pipe off the throttle body and block it up using a nut so there's no vacuum leak.

    Take it for a quick spin and see does the smoke get any better.

    If it does then your PCV is broken and you need a new one.

  3. Re-shelling my Glanza at the moment and have everything in. Engine and all interior.

    As soon as I turn the key there is as if there is no battery in the car.

    Not even the clock or radio will come on.

    I tried changing ignition barrel and it made no difference.

    I also changed ECU.

    I changed the coil and ignitor.

    I changed the connection on the alternator as the old one was melted.

    I took off the earth/live (one that's bolted down) for the alternator and made sure there was a good connection.

    I also took off the earth/live (one thats bolted down for the starter motor and made sure there was a good connection.

    I also made sure the connection is on the starter properly.

    I changed the battery as it was gone dead and now this one has gone dead aswell?

    I was thinking it was the 100A alternator fuse but we changed that before we started and it looks ok now.

    I looked behind the ignition barrel to see if any wiring was cut or anything but all that was there was the wiring for an old turbo timer. I plugged that out and plugged the original wiring back in.

    Absolutely baffled at the moment.

    I'm leaning towards ignition problem.

    I checked all the earths and they're all perfect, put jump leads on then and nothing.

    Went then to take them off and they nearly caught fire!!

    As soon as I connect up a good charged battery there is a big spark and it goes dead after a few seconds.

    Can anyone shed some light on this for me please.

    Thanks.

  4. Need a part number for head bolts and head gasket.

    Also what head gasket would someone recommend for a Glanza V. OEM or steel one and if so where to get one and what thickness?

    Not too pushed about price of parts, will pay for the 100% best of the best.

    Long term probably wants to run 1 bar on a hybrid CT9.
