This is an Unbelievable amount of power from a stock bottom end 25' !

Out of curiosity have you had the engine compression tested before you pushed some serious power through it, and currently?

Keen to see how the stock rings are holding up with that much boost :P

Awesome awesome build buddy congrats

Tempting!

Spring rates are probably a bit high for me as it is essentially a street car. He has a lot more tyre than me as well haha :)

I've been doing some research into the length of traction rods and I think the way mine has been set up I may be getting toe out under acceleration (corner exits) which wouldn't be helping

Had a massive WTF issue last night...

Replaced the 044 with the new Walbro E85 416l/hr pump and all went in fairly well. Went to test the thing and no dice, didn't prime. Turned the car off and it started priming and kept running, turned the key back on and the pump stopped, key back to off and the pump started again.

Was late and I was high on E85 fumes so I gave up but still can't work out WTF I have done, none of the wiring or terminals on the relay changed. Literally just pulled old pump out and installed new one.

Same as the green thing really, a good allrounder just with 4wd and a bit more power!

It's got some cool fruit already including a full T88 kit but I'm going to downgrade the turbo to something more suitable

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
