mikey4410 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 also had a fresh MOT on the third of this month and it flew through with no issues at all. just shows the high levels of maintenance that go into this car !!!!!! next plans are to change the standard td04 actuator for an hks actuator with a bit more strength.then it will need modifying to fit obviously Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) UPDATE...... fitted a ct9 hks actuator that i got from kieran liggins for £20 delivered and its in superb condition.took a few little tweeks and a new hole and here we go... i have fitted this to adjust boost via just the actuator as i feel its the best way,its definatley not the easyiest way to do it because everytime it need loading up to up the boost pressure i need to get under the front of the car and remove the "e" clip and then screw in the arm half a turn each time. maywell take a few days of driving to work etc to get it right but once its done its done then. i have removed the gizzmo boost controller as its fucking wack. kept going over what i set it to with gain only on setting 4.luckily i had always kept a close eye on it and it never went to far past 0.75 bar. my advice is dont by a gizzmo,there shite,spent months trying to get it to work to no avail Edited April 9, 2014 by mikey4410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 update...... continued to upgrade ignition system after an intermittent misfire issue appeared randomly.not only issues around 2000 rpm but fully cutting out on occasions which is no good. i had a look at the coil pack and found this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 ordered up a new coil pack and leads by the company "blueprint".i got trade price and it was £100 for the both. i also cleaned up all the mating surfaces to the main coil meatl and the chassis it sits on. will report back and we will have to see if this fixes my issues.

mikey4410 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 lol ,eh yeah i mean the car feels alot better and i am hoping thats it now. as for it taking a knock i remember seeing a tiny lil crack last june on the side of it when i did an engine conversion / swap. i defo didnt knock it at all as i took so much care when putting in the turbo engine. its very rusty all around the whole coil so i am guessing the constant hot and cold around engine bay has caused moisture to build up inside it and has gradually split it open. even the little chassis the ignitor and coil sit on was rusty and corroded,took me a good few hours to fit up new coil to chassis as all bolts were seized up bad and i cleaned the chassis up. well worth doing and as i said hopefully its all good now,does pull and rev up noticably better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
