Your rear engine mount will be a horseshoe shaped piece of metal with rubber moulded inside of it. Two bolts then go through this rubber to bolt to the bracket that is bolted to the engine. I have snapped the bracket before (on track) but usually what happens is that the rubber degrades and allows a...

my personal views on the 480 are thats its as ugly as sin. from the back its lovely but wen u look at the front its just a disaster No offence mate, but....look at your car! I doubt I'll get another 480 tbh, I spent several years getting all the best bits - palm beach, leather, unfaded clusters etc...

Sorry mate, but in that case the haynes manual is wrong, the map sensor on a turbo is inside the ECU, and the bit with three pipes going to it bolted to the bulkhead is the boost control solenoid. And anyway, didn't you buy mine off e-bay? I'm sure I sent it to Barnstaple (to be honest I could have...

With the Richmod the ignition cut has been moved to a higher value. It has been set at a level below which you shouldn't melt your engine! Uphil in third in my old car I was running right off the scale, but touch the end of the red in 1st and you would hit the cut. I can't give any explanation as to...

No probs, it is a common problem - like common as in they all do it eventually!! pipes as i have had them off recently. Wink aha! However, reading again, are you sure you are over boosting - you will get into the red at high rpms in the lower gears, its if you get high boost at low rpms (as can happ...

I would put the stock recirc valve on, the B18FT doesn't really like atmospheric dump valves....its certainly worth a try... if the boost controller was not working electrically it would not cause boost spikes? Double negatives!? :wink: Even if the boost control solenoid was not connected electrical...

If there is a different number of teeth then it is obvious that the timing will go out of sync after a couple of turns of the crank.. I used to think that, but its simply not true! The only difference is the physical length of the belt, the one with 125 teeth being one tooth (probably what, 8mm?) l...

Ok, got a bit more time now... The boost control solenoid - the three pipes that come off of it: If any of these pipes are split or have a pinhole in them, then they will act like a bleed valve and give you the boost spikes you are experiencing. The usual culprits are the white or black ones at the ...
