 Expert Posts: 2812  Location: Bournemouth | Woo hoo it has electricity ! Dont know for how long but it managed to get to the local track for a quick blast up the straight, did a 3rd and 4th gear on low 11psi boost You can hear the exhaust manifold blowing and its a little laggy, also ECU light is linked up to the DTA and comes on when its time to shift Edited by djwilma 24/10/2013 2:01 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | dazz 111 - 23/10/2013 10:17 PM Looks good that, so its basically all done now then? yes apart from full suspension geometry, flat and polish, few grills, ported head 285 cams and mech lifters, exhaust manifold is leaking, front splitter and a bit of touch up paint (scotts fault) Should be good for Summer | ||

 | Went to see Dylan today and he asked me to show what he's been up to as he hasn't got time. I'm not a fan myself, but he seems to think it's good..

Its looking good hey Ding.....just needs those wheels of mine you have to set it off Tony, that was real time and on low boost Well after the Ported Head i purchase was a dud, i decided to go all gung ho and get a new head ported by Jason Hellier of Hellier Performance as he is 20 mins from my house and i have heard good things about him. He is also good friends with Rog from Sabre heads and i would like to thank rog for his help. Anyway, i asked for Jason to Flow Test the new head, the old cracked one (supposedly a GBE head, but its not) and the std head to see what flows i would get. The cams i have are 260 degree 285M Piper re-grinds with just under 10mm lift so figures at 400 thou are roughly this. The std head flows ok, the cracked head did well on the inlet but basically bugger all improvement on the exhaust even though massive amount of metal was removed. Luckily Jason spotted this and his head flows approx 20% more than the std head on the inlet and exhaust so i cant complain. All test were done on the Janspeed Flow tester in CFM Cams were set up and measured, took a day apparently, single piper springs (157lb @ 10mm vs 128lb std springs) with modified std caps for a 7500rpm limit. But i now have a solid tested head so i hope this helps with the lack of top end revs. Car is with JDM Dyno in Cumbria who will strip the head and re-dyno with a few other minor mods            | ||

 Expert Posts: 5629  Location: Letchworth/Basildon | djwilma - 19/11/2013 8:46 PM Well the head is off and new head going on tomorrow Looks like the old head had been ported slightly Exhaust manifold was warped, its been skimmed and ready to go back on Oil leak was not what I expected. The cam carrier was leaking, but small amounts. Main problem was it was coming out the dipstick straight onto the exhaust manifold....so will add a couple of breathers. Should be on the rollers on Friday for 400bhp........ Oil out of the dipstick.... Oh dear  | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth |  This is what happened today.....low boost is 11psi so spot the problem Looks like the std garrett wastegate is too small and now I am getting more flow through the head it just cant cope so backed out at 6000rpm. Still 360bhp but at 19psi so really have no control ovet boost So ordered an external wastegate and will get this fitted next week.just a shame internal wastegate doesnt flow enough but external will control better 44mm tial on order Worse is the fact the tyres wont grip on the dyno, then I saw this plot and realised why  | ||
