you need to run more fuel through it fella 12.3 is only just safe on most injection turbo engines.
I'd be down into 11.8-11.5, you will loose a max of 10hp but your pistons will be much happier in the long bike chasing runs

Have you seen these?

looks a bit posh, mappable ignition will probably be my next step once i've remorgaged for a VNT overhaul
update is...... its still sleeping
on the plus side, the new toy arrives tomorrow...
its only 110bhp
slight update... after its slumber since aug 2011, finally got it out the garage friday night, got it up to the unit and replaced the starter and clutch cable, then got it MOT'd on sat
needless t o say it sailed through, so just need to tax it ready for the nice weather
bit smokey and my turbo needs a rebuild so thats going to be next on the list
only problem i have now is that i'm spoilt for choice when the sun is out.....
30miles so far this year... then booom!
new head to go on, and this, and a few tweaks for 2012
blummin heck you chew through a few engines
F7P turbo time
About time you set it up properly aint it lol
just liners not engines
overskimmed head is finally being retired, found split coolant pipe and no mixture screw which i think helped it die, also retarded the ignition timing and i'm gonna swap the TDC leads over to make up for less advance..
should be back and running again in a few evenings and wonder how far i'll get this time, and as for F7 turbo... naaaaa
dude.. you are a living ledgend
how many times have u blew it up? fair play for keep going back to it.
about time mr B
maybe invest in a digital/twin port boost controller for the spike issues and start measuring inlet temps/egt's your pushing way to much boost for
" best guess tuning"
or if you want more reliable 230-300 bhp then start again with more capacity, like the b18f/f7 engines
after the 3 or 4 blow ups you have had, the c1j rebuilds would have paid for a bigger /better engine set up ie oil sprays under the pistons and fuel injection, and no liners to split, that said get it wrong on the above renault blocks and you can start spending money
your call
might be up and running in another month or so( depending on how much longer helix can piss about making my clutch) anyway could pop over and tempt you to the join the f series club, its catching
i can see what your saying but the power delivery of a C1j is unlike any other, and i dont want it to loose its savageness, thats what makes it fun
liner replaced last night, just got to put valves in the new head and put it all back together
thought id sort some of my carbon bits too, as they had been attacked by the UV light
before:
after:
just need to put some 2k lacquer on to gloss them up a bit
Does this mean ginge will make an appreance at Blyton Park?
when you going to sell it to me then, it matches my hair pefect
spent a couple of hours on it yesterday and got new head built up. remembered how much of an arse fitting uprated valve springs with a 16v tool is...
oh no I know you didn't mean that mate, its not the speed I thought you we're on about, its the delivery, the F7P on a pikie chip provides a very brutal power spike as it comes on boost, its a right giggle! I know mine aint slow, 12.3 1/4 mile on road tyres shows that, I wasn't talking about outright power
for me the appeal to the c1j is..
- the fact its 1.4 and sounds like a tractor,
- the fact when you open the bay you cant see the engine, just stuff all around it.
- and the fact that most jobs can be done without removing the engine.
If i was offered another one on a plate for minimal cash id take it.. but until that day im happy to stick with c1j
little bit more done last night... just cooling system to finish and boost pipes etc.
turns over with good oil pressure, also want to do some wiring so will do it thurs eve all being well
Finally put a feed pipe onto the ducts, mounted to the car itself so stays in place when bumper is removed, and lines up with duct when bumper is on. currently just an extra air feed to filter may use it for wastegate if i get heat problems in the bay
looking good mark
Does this mean it'll be on the road before Christmas?
well, its apart again, had a rattle, couldn't find it in situ so engine out and stripped again
Gutted for you mate
Thanks to mr mad andy my cam is now at 113deg rather than 120odd lol
Hopefully have bottom end in this eve, just waiting for mls gasket to land. Already changed gearbox oil with elf stuff just brake fluid change and few odds and sods
and.....
its running with no knock... no idea what it was but its gone
Good work fella. NOw get it ts here for a viewing.
