    And Amended the ECU map for flywheel pattern and coil pack

    Bit of an update the engine is all in the car apart from a turbo and engine coolant and oil.

    Had some bad news about the turbo from the rebuild place today :-(, once I get over the how much I have been ****ed over here I will post about it seeing as out of this deal all I have is a fuel pump, downpipe, forged rods and a ebay intercooler

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Some pics of the knackered GT28rs

    List given by turbo place,

    Shaft badly scored even chipped, rear turbine blades damaged, rear housing has crack so large it will need replacing.

    I am currently awaiting this to be priced up but so far new bearing kit, shaft + rear wheel and rear housing and seals required, might see ig they can get a .86 rear if I am having to get this rebuilt to as new

    Problem is if I give it all back he will have my new rebuilt engine so kinda pointless on that now. Do feel I am owed as the whole thing was scrap.

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Well I have the GT28rs on its way back not being rebuilt as running out of cash due to my massive expenditure over the last month, but I have picked up GT28r for now, in a few months once I am running and have a few months driving out of it I may get the good parts of the RS added to the r to make it an RS.

    Arthur when I have some cash I will have that .86 rear of you

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Ok looking promising now the GT28r has arrived today, I have rotated the housings to the correct positions, fitted my GT28rs actuator and set the cracking pressure to 19psi (might be a little high but easy to adjust rod later) blades spin nicely and a good thing no bearing hanging out the core, just awaiting my GT28rs back now as I need the adaptors back for the downpipe and the oil drain.

    Had a bit of an issue with the car bodywork yesterday morning went to clean the car only to notice that something had sprayed the car and was not coming off, so a quick call to my valeter friend for some advice I started on the job he then turned up and took over

    A quick update car is now back together and complete, went to crank / prime the car but engine was a little hard to turnover due to being a fresh build. Battery on charge and will remove sparkies next time help, and add another earth and check starter wiring just in case and issue

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Issue found now I have removed the spark plugs, cranks over much better but but number 3 full of coolant, would appear MLS gasket not sealing properly, I had the block refaced when I had the work done to it, I didn't have the head done though. Anyway I have a spare head and will get that re-faced and pressure tested.

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Suppose I should update, the car is almost back together bar the turbo downpipe and coolant. So another cylinder head fitted, another MLS gasket (this will be last one I buy before I start getting OE ones), New head bolts followed the 7stage process in the Haynes ( which seemed to click at 100nm on the torque wrench on final 107deg. Even fitted a new cambelt seeing as I have taken the last one on and off many a time (will keep it as spare).

    Went to crank / prime it on the original battery which was fully charged only for it to rotate very slow, tested it and it was showing as holding charge but doing nothing so that's a dead battery. I then stole the Big Bosch battery out of the boost bus and crikey engine cranked / primed over very fast (much bigger battery than original). Went for a fire up but I could not get it fire / start, I have fuel injectors firing I have crank sensor signal, and car clearly turning over. I need to make sure it's sparking so will remove a plug and do the normal arc it out and see if it fires, this could be an ECU setting as I have gone wasted spark now (I have changed the setting's possible incorrect dwell timing) anyway due to lack of time I was unable to check these.

    New VARTA D21 battery ordered should be with me today, considering locating this in the boot seeing as I still have a battery relocation kit from my EVO 6 spare.

    I have also removed the OE seats and fitted a pair of Black cobra Monaco S buckets seats and black Cobra harnesses (stored the OE stuff in the loft)

    I am tempted to go play with the car in the rain this eve seeing as I plan on working within the car in relocating the battery to the boot and checking my wiring for the coilpack

    Pic is a little boring just the new Varta D2 silver battery and alloy battery tray.

    Had a few mins to spare this eve so relocated the battery to the boot.

    Also removed the ECU to have a look at the ecu file and realised that the injector trigger pattern was on quarter sequential no wonder it wouldn't start. ECU now amended and will try in next few days to start the car now nice bigger more powerfull battery fitted and correct ecu trigger setting's

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Ok, an update, head off and thrown in a close bush near by, would appear the new MLS is just scrap not even been able to start the car on this one just cranked over but look at state of the gasket.

    Block rotates nicely with 19mm socket on the crank pulley,

    Pic attached is head number 4 with all the parts swapped over ready to bolt onto block pending the arrival of the new 1.3mm Engine dynamics head gasket and bolt's.

    Decided to change the colour of the cam cover as gone of the blue it is actually Renault Glacier white just a bad pic (well Halfords rattle can version anyway) Do wonder how long it will stay this colour for

    Mick You know it

    The ole C1J should be back on the road soon aswell as the new owner has put a high lift cam in situ in which is all it needed to get more out of it. Was a good setup

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    172 starter now fitted some amendments required to boost run and turbo compressor angle. This is due to new starter solenoid being on the top now and not on the side.

    Can't touch car for few weeks now as I had surgery (ongoing medical issue) so just been ordering more parts to hopefully finalise.

    1. Charge the battery,
    2. Remove starter and put locating dowel in correct place for 172 starter (Outer hole),
    3. Finish of the re-routed turbo coolant pipes,
    4. Re-do boost pipe run due to compressor housing outlet relocation,
    5. Drill the scuttle for air filter relocation,
    6. Mount the new air filter in scuttle location,
    7. Top up with coolant,
    8. Run it drive it,
    9. Get it mapped

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Small Update, even though I have been off work due to some surgery I spent an hour last night down with the car and managed to do quite a bit, relocated air filter to scuttle battery location, made bracket to support air filter, fitted the turbo downpipe to exhaust lower gasket, finished the modified turbo coolant run, finished the changed boost pipe run, filled and bleed the coolant system.

    Things left to do, -

    1. Exhaust clamp 2 x 13mm nuts,
    2. Cut 80mm hole into scuttle for air filter ducting(Due to air filter relocation),
    3. Charge the battery,
    4. Fingers crossed and prey,
    5. Start the car
