Same size motor as a m35 stag. 2.5lt V6 but this ones a 2 stroke.

puts out more power tho its good for 200hp and about 80-85mph on a calm day. :nyaanyaa:

Was it hard? Fitting mine tomorrow lol any tips?

It wasn't too bad. The only problem I had was I thought the lines that came with the kit were a little short for my liking. However, still more accessable than what the oil filter was before.

I also had to cut down a brand new Stanley 300mm adjustable spanner to fit under the intake plenum. It is now more around 120mm :laugh:

or try using old sock pinch.gif

plastic bag :stupid:

if your still worried PAPER BAG TOO :thumbsup::cheers: ,

what size lines are you using ?

are you boys still using 2 filter as thats a SMALL FILTER

Got nistune done to the car today. Pretty happy with power gain, was 135kW before the nistune. Very smooth delivery!

Excuse my C34 ignorance but shouldn't you be getting more torque? Power looks great! Just was expecting a different torque curve...

Was thinking the same thing when I saw it!...Hp figure is good...the nm figure does not make sence.

Wouldn't have a clue! I got Shaun to tune for economy for what it's worth. Apart for a smooth curve I'm not sure what's what on the print out.

That's a pretty impressive gain. Was it just the tune or have you also added bigger exhaust, more boost or any other mods? Good advertisement for Nistune. - OK just saw your other post - now for an upgraded turbo!

Yeah just Nistune. If this also translate to better economy it's be great!

Installed New Alternator and Power Steering belts today.

Also adjusted the front sway bar to a stiffer setting now that I have some tires with a little grip. :)

Diagnosed another problem of a big hesitation around right hand corners.. time to replace the Walbro fuel pump. :(

Whats wrong with the fuel pump mate? Did you end up running full voltage to it? If its in the stock housing it shouldnt cut out at all as it sits in a cup in the tank, is it when low on fuel or all the time?

No, Stock power supply.

When I drive around right hand corners and I give the car a bit of throttle (usuall in 1st or 2nd) I get a big hesitation around 3-4k rpm. The car settles and then continues on to higher rpm.

I took Craig for a drive and he thought it felt like the fuel pump as he though his did something similar before it failed.

Not sure if it is all the time but I am usually conscious of it when the tank is 1/4 or lower.

I have the option of changing the pump tomorrow whilst fuel is low of filling up tomorrow and seeing if it still persists with a full tank.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
