ollie ryan Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 what size athena gasket you running? 1.2 or 1.4? going to change my hg soon and dont no what size to go with Quote
Sparky Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 1.2 mate, keeps the stock compression ratio then, 1.4 will lower it slightly, OK if your going for high boost but will make it more laggy off boost Quote
ollie ryan Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 ah okay cool, will get a 1.2 then, will be better then my 0.6mm i have at the moment lol Quote
Sparky Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 Just a quick update.ABS is removed as well as the charcoal canister and the rest of the air con gubbins. The ABS loom has mostly been removed from the loom also just so it looks a bit neater.Then out came the degreaser and all the underneath, inner arches and engine bay has been steam cleaned, what a transformation!! Looks 10 times better and we havent even finished yet!Gearbox has also been thoroughly cleaned and again looks alot better so far.Turbo kit is almost assembled and I couldnt help but fit it to the old engine, the words of my old man, "thats a piece of kit" ;)Anyways I'll have to tease you and leave the pics until tomorrow where hopefully things start going back together Quote
LukeSR Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Good man, looking forward to pictures.This ;) Quote
