Chris Green Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Productive night! Got TPS error code. My neighbour came round and helped out. Made a temp gasket to change the TB. Engine is running so sweet, I'll get videos posted tomorror night. It so responsive. I'm well chuffed, first time its been running perfect since its gone in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PokerFace Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 very nice build man!, what do you think of the top rad hose? is it worth the money? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks mate. It is expensive, but I think it looks well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Progress made over the last 2 days: 1. Fueling sorted, fuel pressure set a 2.2 bar. Not running lean or rich. 2. Paseo dails sorted, temp gauge reading correctly. 3. All belts tightened, no more squealing. 4. Indicators fixed. 5. Thortle body switch back to UK spec. Had to get a bit welded on to the manifold to seal correctly. No more mis-firing and super responsive. 6. Washed and polished. Pics and videos to follow. Safe to say I'm going to be a happy man tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Green Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well I haven't updated this in a while.

dan106 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Dude, how did you get the coolant gauge working properly? I tried pulling the pin off and moving it round, but now it doesn't read anything, and I'm very jealous of your engine too aha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One the left plug, I moved the last 2 or 3 up one iirc. I'll take a pic when I have the gauges out as the mileage isn't correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Good work dude, suppose the bonus you have is that your car still gets tested for 1.5 and under emissions so still the same band as the 4efe lolMine scraped through the 1.6 an above band with a cat that doesnt work Edited April 20, 2013 by morgey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
