Hi, little update about the exhaust ... I had been taking with some guys arround here about the exhaust cause I was thinking about buying a complete 3" stainless exhaust system with a 100/200cell cat but they all meant that the loss of power at higher revs normally isn´t caused by the "standart" ex...

Thank mate, I get it now :D No prob dude :) about the exhaust ... the more I think about it the more I think that this could be one of the main factors why it has that problems at thigher revs. The doenpipe to the cat has 2.5" or was it 3" ? and after the cat it´s only 2" so it could be very possi...

Hi ! I don't think you should go for the 2.0L cam, try the 88 camshaft. It has a little bit more lift and it keeps the valves open longer then the 89- camshafts(from ch541197-) Ok, that´s a goood point ... I´ve an engine from a ´89 480 lying arround here ... the cam I´m using at the moment is fr...

Hi :) Hi Huskyracer :) It´s not that nice that the torque is going that much down at thigher revs :( or why it has this ups and down at the mid rev ( ~ 3500/4000rpm ) section ? If you win more torque at the higher revs, you automatically wins some ponies too (thumbs up). Perhaps is your exhaust sys...

Hehe

that´s how it was looking when it was unused
but it´s far more better looking installed at the car *g

Yeah Martin that´s some true words ! I even couldn´t sell mine ... even if I sometimes thought about it cause it sometimes really was disgusting .... when you´re trying and working and doing that much things at the car and everytime someting is fixed or working something else starts to go wrong o...

Sounds a little bit insane ^^

not that much money for such a car

Cheers!

Hey Martin ! Yes I´m using the Rich super Mod ECU :) but as in fact that the standart boost solenoid is only capable of pressures up to 1bar I had to connect a MBC before it so that I can adjust/ regulate the pressure that the solenoid is capable of regualting the pressure even if it´s over 1 bar ...

Hi, here at home I´ve a ratched set from "Lux-tools" and I´m very confident with it ... no problems so far ! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v475/tobi480turbo/Lux-tools.jpg At the garage where I´m working sometimes are snap on tools and some very nice and usefull air ratcheds and other very ver...

here at my local dealer 195/15 are arround 35€ per tyre and today he told me that he got an offer for a complete alloy wheel with tyre for little bit more than 40€ ... think this is quite cheap ... probably going to have some new alloys for the next summer then

Tobi

first I thought it was your´s Martin ... I saw the colour an the alloys and had to look two times who had posted this scary topic :/

Hi, as far as I know the only problem is that the ECU´s aren´t all interchangeable between the different 480´s cause they have different flywheels and in fact of that it could be possible that the 480 doesn´t start cause the ECU doesn´t get a flywheelsignal in fact of the different tooth layout...

seems like

here in germany it´s somkinda hard to find some "good" parts for the 480

Cheers !

So you just need a 2L engine for a swap some other mods and it just goes whoooosh like mine does at the moment *jokingly*

or get the "Rich" mod

Cheers

Tobi

Never had my tank completely full ^^

but as I imagine it should show over 500 km cause with 3bars it´s showing near to 400km of distance to go

So at least you were lucky that nothing happened to you ! Not to think about what would have happened if it had hit you while refitting the pipe !

Very sad about your car ... was really looking very nice ! whish mine would be so shiny as yours was

Regards

Tobi

Ohaaaaaa fooooooook !!!

hope you´re well so far !!!!!!!!

how did this happen ? who´s fault was it ? I hope not yours :/

Regards

Tobi

Hi ! no normally the ECU´s aren´t interchangeable ! cause the flywhell teeth are different at the different construcion years, and in fact of that the ECU gets a wrong or no correct rpm signal and the car won´t start at all. There are probably some which could be exchanged between each other but ...

Hi,

YES it´s defninately not german cause I would have recognized it

the others are right sound´s and looks dutch to me

Cheers
