All I did with my head was get it cleaned up (sand blasted), Valve seats done, new valve guides and seals and cleaned the lifters Added some Poncams and ready to go

They are probably getting a bit old to make too many more episodes then that considering some of the stupid shit they do lol

I never used to have the problem, it started probably a year and a half to two years ago.

Watched the new top gear before, Sucks they only make such a small number of episodes per season now

Seem to have a problem with fuel on the pressure side of the system draining back to tank when the car is switched off and left for a while. I am away from work for 7 days and when I come back it takes a bit to start the first time and recently it runs a bit rough for a bit after the car is started. When driving it has a small miss, but it goes away fairly quickly I believe it is a problem with the fuel draining back to tank and just wondering if anyone has found anything similar and knows why it might be happening I was away for nearly a month once and the car idled horribly (Sounded like it had a super lumpy cam) for about 5 minutes. But usually when I'm away for a week its not as big a problem as the issue goes away quickly and its not so bad if started daily, but I would like to fix it. I've found check valves for fuel systems but most seem to be for Carb and low pressure fuel systems. I dont really want to start forking out for braided lines and JIC fittings etc for the fuel system, would rather a barb fitting check valve etc Just after anyone who has had a similar problem or is it just something you have to live with? Thanks

There's not much point in asking about the vacumm because it will vary depending on what everyones ECU is doing at that point. Fuel and timing will change the idle vacumm. Mods may also play a part If your asking this to see if you have a leak then you'd be better off trying to pressurize the system with the engine off

Love or hate him. Seb is an amazing talent Mark sounds like he doesnt like him....

Wish someone would invite me to shoot lamborghini's.......... then just drive me around in one instead

Im sure Vettel still sleeps well at night next to his 3 WDC trophies though

Is not a Formula 1 car........

sounds like someone nailing a fence together to me

Yeah this to. It will still regulate the temperatur to what it was last set at.

Turn on the recirculate button. Its just air coming through the car from the fresh air vent. Generally is around ambient temp but can be warm

New Mercedes engine: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/109133 I miss v8's already, and they are still around

I'm guessing its a track car? If it's a street car forget about it right now, you wont make it 10m down the road without getting a complaint or a defect As for if it is a track car. Personally I dont like the idea but thats just me. Then you also have to live with a big hole in your bonnet if you do it then decide it wasn't the best Idea. Why not just run it down and out the side?

This is general Maintenance?

Should be able to get it from CBC bearings or any good bearing place Best bet is to pull the tensioner off the car and take it in with you, or pull the bearing out of hte tensioner and take the bearing itself in. They will be able to easily match it then if the part number isnt right

2 plugs on TPS, one is digital, one is analog So one is on/off and the other is basically a variable resistor. What you will get depends on where the sensor is. I'm not sure which is which on the newer style TPS but with a multimeter checking reistance on the digital sensor (again not sure which plug it is) you should get an open circuit and then when you move the TPS it should at some point close and you will get a circuit. The other plug should vary as you turn the TPS. The varying resistance changes the output voltage when it is operating in car. To test it properly it will need to be plugged in and car on. Then back-probe the plug to get the voltage at idle. If the sensor isnt plugged in you wont get the right result. I'm not sure how you tested the TPS in your first post so you may have already done this Boost sensor might be harder to test. Can I ask why you are testing the TPS and the Boost sensor?

Yeah might get one later this year. Would be nice to have a fresh box

our versions of 'well under $3k' are different I think yeah couldnt remember the price of the box from just jap but its a pretty good deal anyway

Not exactly Take an RB30 for example. There is no oil cooler on these and they still need a spot for the oil pressure gauge, so they have this port on the block for the sender. RB20 is about the same situation from memory. Seen as the RB25 is just an update of these, it still has the oil pressure port, but because the sender goes in the oil cooler then there is no need for it so it is just plugged off.

exhaust restrictions: Blocked/Collapsed Cat Converter, Blocked/Collapsed Muffler, Exhaust or section size to small Theres not a whole lot to worry about on a turbo car, If he thinks its an exhaust restriction start at the Cat and work back

Yes that is it, It is 1/8 BSP on the block It is there for cars not fitted with an oil cooler, I'm not sure if theres any in the RB25 range but It's there if there was ever a day that this was the case. Won't need to drain oil to install a sensor there, you will only lose whatever oil was in the gallery at the time. So if you leave the engine overnight most of the oil should have drained out of that section

Jusy Jap sell them for just over 3k I think. Would be nice to find a cheaper one around. Thinking about replacing nine sometime
