ITB Build Thread

All properly thought through! Love the way you engineers just do what you like!

 

good to see another engineering student out there ! thats a good bit of machining there mate its amazin what you can do with the right machine tools aint it

 

More pic please. How could your engine bay be so clean (don't mean dirty / clean clean)? Would love to see how you set your vacumn...

 

I've got a pedal box mounted inside the car so don't have a servo and hence no need for a vac take off.

I'm not using a map sensor, you dont need a map sensor on a n/a car if you are running TPS.

 

thanks for the responce.

 

Bump for an update soon, had it running last week and all seems well

 

Looking forward to it!

When will its first outing be?

 

Spent a very productive afternoon with Mike (who also built the engine) mapping the 16v.

Figures speek for themselves

neadless to say

 

Well done Ray, you must be well happy with that.

Give me a ring when you take it out i will try and pop along.

 

Ah exellent Ray... same as Graham.

 

wow mate glad i found this thread your mk1 looks mint

 

Good result Ray, how many `running in` miles before these figures please ?

 

None!! an hour or so stationary to bed cams in and check things over on mineral oil then trailered to rollers, 30 mins at 3k and then started mapping.

 

Nice one, should be even better when it settles in.

 

Good numbers!.

 

Excellent results

Just ordering megasquirt and a new inlet manifold for mine, sacking off the air flow meter and other nasty bits.

 

excellent results ray bet you're well chuffed!

 

..mmm, I was considering doing 1,000 miles before giving it `death` !

Mine is a 9A on Newman 290`s with solid lifters and KJet - currently set @ standard 6` timing for run in on Millers `running in` oil.

Thanks

 

Ray, do you happen to have any vid's of it on the rollers or any other vids of it running?

Cheers
