Bourkey Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have only ever taken it off bit by bit once. I cut my fingers many times so i vowed never to do it again. I even take the radiator for more space to faf around in .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 *Update*Firstly after running the car for a couple of weeks with the work i did to it i am very happy. It seems to like it more when i push the car hard instead of struggling. And motorway runs seem to be more effortless especially getting to motorway speeds. Also because the CT9 spools earlier there is less of a bang when it is at full boost as it comes in at a steady pace instead of one hit. This helps with the wheels spinning problem i had when it hit boost. Especially on wet roads. Doesn't do it as easily now.Also i now get over 250 miles out of a tank . This is with driving a bit quick every now and then too. This is very good as i was lucky to get 200 miles before and the usual amount was around 180 miles. This has helped my wallet considerably.Next on the list to do is 1 bar. I have everything except the fuel rail adapter, which is in the post at the moment. Im getting the car set up on the 3rd or 4th of April depending how busy i am at work. Im also getting a power run done so i will finally find out the power im running at .I also need some decent brakes as the quicker i go the more i realise how crap standard ones are .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've got a really giddy right foot though . Im going to do an eco tank to see what i can get out of a tank. I'd probably be able to get 300 if i tried. I'll have a think about them disks and pads as they do look good when i saw them.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markoos Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 good news mate, get it to 1 bar and you'll be laughin! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Right im going to aim to beat 320 just so i can beat you at something .Also a quick note on a little fault today. I drove the car yesterday to work and there was a knocking noise. I took it easy coming back home and left it overnigh as i was tired. Woke p and jacked the car up straight away. Less than 10 seconds under the car and i spotted the fault. The engine mount on the passenger side had 2 of the 3 bolts missing and the last bolt was halfway out. The engine could have dropped at anytime. Im pretty dam lucky. I have done a good check round the whole car to see if i can spot anything else as it worried me a bit. Thank God i spotted it then.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I am gettin between 180 and 200 to a tank!!So your getting better mpg from that porting you did?My bloody wastegate is cracked so couldnt do mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Tut tut Sparky. It's that lead right foot of yours .Im not saying the porting is the sole reason the MPG has gone up but im sure it has helped a great deal by freeing up any restrictions in the exhaust side. The more free flowing the exhaust side is the better mpg you get. Any interuptions in the flow will cause your MPG to drop .Shame you couldn't port it due to the crack. I did notice a good difference.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 True. Unless you have a recond unit like mine then chances are it will have a crack in it. Most don't matter though as they are only surface hairline cracks. People say they still hold boost fine with a crack in as well.Use super glue Sparky .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yeah you would struggle to do it on the car. Very tight squeeze i'd say. You will be able to see what you are doing much better if you whip it all off as well ;).Cheers for the pics Craig.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_N Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 **Project Ended**Hi All, Bourkeys car is know no more as me and bourke was in a serious car accident i am fine just cuts and bruses but bourke is in quite a bad way we both dont have a clue what has gone on i just remember waking up in the car afterwards. Bourkey is in intensive care and its only family allowed but they allowed me to see him as he was asking to see me to see if i was ok so when i saw him he is speaking and he doesnt remember a thing. I wasnt going to mention anything on the website but he said for me to update everyone. The car is completly un-repairable he are some pics as i just got back from colecting things from the car:As you can see in the pics that the car is in a really bad state and you can imagine what bourke will be like.Please can everyone be carefull when driving as you can see what can happen.Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
