absolutely mate yep going to up the boost just this once to around 21 psi and see what happens :laugh::laugh:

Good man :agree:

Tutuur
18-08-2014, 14:00
Lovely project mate! How much boost does he want to run?

Afaik it's on the standard megane rods which are piss poor, i would think skimmed pistons could take a beating but the rods will probably go first:crap:

R5MJH
18-08-2014, 14:21
it will only be running 300/330 hp arthur so the standard internals should be fine, it was running 17psi on robbies t34 and made 330hp which is all mike wants

Goobie
18-08-2014, 14:30
That's some copy and paste pm going on right there, didn't fancy writing that out your self then? :laugh:

300/330bhp is plenty of power in a 5! :agree: Good to see project thread on the way now. :cool:

I've had the injectors sitting on the desk for over a month, I've actually just put them away as you know I've got some packing todo. :crap:

Anyway, I've still got the clips that hold them on too, I need to give them to ya at some point, that said, never heard back about if Mike wanted the 650cc injectors or not? I'm sure we're sorting some thing out. ;)

Goobie
18-08-2014, 14:36
it will only be running 300/330 hp arthur so the standard internals should be fine, it was running 17psi on robbies t34 and made 330hp which is all mike wants

It was actually 16psi with 290 torque and that figure was with a leaking turbo compressor housing and exhaust manifold leak at both ends badly, since had the flange plate machine flat, so expect better figures and earlier boost etc turbo dependent. :cool:

R5MJH
18-08-2014, 14:42
thanx goobs yep we will take them and the clips too at the agreed price ill collect them at the next surrey meet if ya going mate, yeah only want 330 max as we want the gearbox and shafts to hold together:laugh:

got to love a copy n paste :laugh:

Goobie

It's looking like my turbo, down pipe and full exhaust is not going to be used atall now, could of made a deal for the lot for less then you paid for just that turbo. :ashamed: :laugh:

Also, not only that, I've got spare set too of the Denso K20a coil on plugs (Same as Scoff using.) going spare to which I was guna use on that F7 set up. Maybe do a deal for them with the 650cc injectors I no longer need. :confused: :D ;)

R5MJH
31-08-2014, 16:09
if iirc mr goobs i bugged ya for ages about it and its wasnt for sale if the dp you got and exhaust goes over to the standard fp position then we could possibly sort somethin out for your fp exhaust, yeah might take the other bit too but deffo want injectors is your turbo out 3" v band?? thanx sir

Goobie
31-08-2014, 16:53

wilton_warrior
17-03-2015, 20:03
sometimes we need to find our own way. we may listen to others regards pros n cons however if its how you want your build to go then go 100% its like making your order at starbucks ect, its your preference, you try it, and go WTF this is like costa coffee knowing that perhaps you should have listened to others saying don't waste your dosh on that. but its still sometine you wanted to try. need to get my finger out also n crack on with my build. good work and speedy build :agree:

thx kial matey, im having a mare with this car, been outside all day, got the dp and stay fitted correctly went to fit oil filter but couldn't get on as the pipes wouldn't let me fit it then I removed rad and still couldn't do it so again something needs modding, put the gear linkage on to find gears not working so it turns out because the box fulcrum has been modded to short shift the std rod don't work but in the end I had to put it to within 5mm of end of adjustment to get it to work but could do with lengthening to work correctly but god it short to shift and god knows how short it is with the proper gear stick that ill fit later at some point, long and short of it is still not running loom will only take 30 mins to connect anyways ill up some pics later

ok car is done and running but have some small issues

1. temp gauge don't work
2. rev counter don't work
3. wont tick over properly, but once servo pipe is off its better
4. major leak in exhaust at join
5. no battery light on dash but battery is charging at 14.9v


and a few other bits

any advice is good thx

1, plug laptop to ecu and see if it reads temp.
2, same as above then check wiring.
3, there no cold start map on the ecu.

:cool:

:cool:

:agree:

1) Temp sensor for dash is just a case of extending the original GTT orange and green wires to the 2nd square sensor on the thermostat housing you may have to swap wires around but that's as simple as that. Your ECU is clearly getting a temp reading as you said the rad fan's been kicking in and out so it's been controlling the rad fan correctly.

2) Rev counter on the 420c uses the IGN 3 (Blue wire from ECU) B1 on diagram attached all this needs to connect to is the grey wire from the original AEI connection this will give signal to the rev counter if set correct in the ECU file (setting for this is located under the Trigger settings screen Ignition 3 should be set to Tachometer 50%. Ill get a pic of mine later for you.

3)Could be due to the cold start map lacking as Goobie has said but then you have said the rad fan has been kicking in and out so one would assume it's up to temp, Air leak? (vacuum pipe, inlet gasket, ICV possibly not functioning fully needs cleaning, broken 1 way valve's?

All the above are easy fixes just a case of tracing.

Well done for getting it running though Mick :agree: Your post is no good without pic's or a video:agree:

thanx guys tbh the car started and ticked straight over when cold the problem was once it was warm, this bloody rain is relentless ive got so much to do

1. front discs and pads
2. fix temp gauge ive ordered new temp sensor ill put wires to other sensor to check gauge works
3. fix rev counter this is weird ive wired ign3 the blue wire to the grey aei wire but rev counter don't work
4. fix batter light the alternator is charging but theres no light on dash
5. rework the dp as ive got a big leak at flange where it don't mate at the correct angle
6. sort hunting I think this is because ive used silicone hose on the servo pipe

overall im happy its started but need to mot before Tuesday as the tax runs out and car will get clamped so a lot of pressure atm, failing this it will need to be towed to mikes garage in Worthing which will be a pain in the fecking arse

but no water or oil leaks and turbo spins on tick over lol:laugh:

oh and clean out car its a sh1t tip atm, is also pink too:crap:

Luckily the issues you have are nothing to major to sort, with regards to the alternator light on dash that's to do with the purple wire on top of the alternator, it should be working as I only removed the original rad fan wires, perc fan wires, oil pressure and level wires from the original loom the rest is as it was

what a epic day again nothing has gone right tbh started at 11.30 and walked in at 7.30 so I thought I better get this water leak fixed well that didn't go well at all

went down b&q last night and got a 28mm copper t anywayz after fitting the required pipes and fitted the rad which anyone will tell you is a nightmare itself it leaked :cry:after another 3 attempts still leaking:eek::eek: I really wanted to hang mike today:ashamed: anyways after another nip to b&q for a different 28mm smooth t pipe and another 3 attempts it seems to have stopped leaking, this car is beginning to be like james it didn't like c1j being removed anywayz ive left off oil filter and ill wait to see if water stays in same position, I hope it does now....

anyways just need to do dp now which ill probably try and do Monday ready for mot Tuesday, I was going to do surrey meet in it but im not trusting it till its had more testing:agree::agree:

ill grab some pics etc when im next working on it, im not a picture whore like james and goobie as you can see from this thread lol:laugh:

31-08-2015, 20:17
god this car keeps biting started today and its hunting again, I accidentally found out by taking the temp ecu wire off it sorted the issue but this aint a major issue as ive bypassed it atm, the problem ive got is the temp gauge on dash isn't working, away ive driven it and its very responsive few bits to do to finish now but it drives :agree:

I popped down Micks the other week, managed to swap over the old GTT rear engine mount for a new super stiff vibratechnics jobbie, (still got the front ones to fit), exhaust manifold off for new heatwrap, downpipe off for heatwrap treatment also). The car is running Mike has driven it a few times around brighton it just needs some longer distance driving.
