Re: Ignition coli references, equivalents B18FT 1991

do you know that all 400 series do a few "empty" rotations to build up oil pressure and then start?

Re: My First 480, a Two Tone 1.7 Turbo

No upgrades have been made since the last time of posting. The only thing I struggled with was the interior heater core. When I was replacing the coolant hoses to silicon ones, I saw that the heater core was really clogged and dirty, so I tried to clean it while in the car, and it didn’t work. So, I...

But I will say that how jay has it orientated or at least when I did this with mine it was ...

Re: My First 480, a Two Tone 1.7 Turbo

The rush to install all of the parts was not for nothing. The next weekend I was participating in a “tourist” Hillclimb. There were around 80 cars in total competing on a 1,6km (1 mile) long closed public road. It was great fun, I learned that up to second gear the car is fun to drive, but when boos...

Re: Boost/ stuttering problems

Welp, i am not sure what was the exact fix, but I suspect it was the Maf sensor. It was held down by zip-ties and they must have lost their strength. Now I made 2 metal brackets to hold in place and after that no issues were notes, a part form similar stuttering when I was low on gas today. But for ...

Boost/ stuttering problems

To explain it a bit better, when I get into the boost area, around 0.4bar, the car starts stuttering in all gears and then accelerates normal ish- boost jumps to 1 bar, in 1 and 2 gear. 3 gear the stuttering is so violent that I am too afraid to continue pressing the pedal. My ECU has the roboumod, ...

Re: My First 480, a Two Tone 1.7 Turbo

I got the AFR installed but there is some problems with the lambda, so I will post about that when I finish it. The water lines were almost all replaced by the silicone ones, the one that connects the water pump to the metal pipe at the front of the motor was inaccessible and not worth to change as ...

Re: My First 480, a Two Tone 1.7 Turbo

An update to what happened again, but now in more detail. The battery was somewhat the problem for the rubbing, but I found out that since my car was in an accident, the wires that were there were repaired and the routing was changed. Instead of going at the edge of the hood they wend down to the ba...
