Paul's estate mk2 - air intake on

[bashbarnard]

that doesnt sound good. seems wierd its only afeter you rev it. have you looked on pp2k live data yet??

[Paul_13]

No not yet, just had a thought the timing might be out as I can't lock the flywheel as it's a 6 flywheel

[Piggy]

Hmmm.timing wouldnt make it run on 3

[Paul_13]

Almost feels like a blocked injector. I held the revs at 3k and it was misfiring and then it seemed to clear and ran clean

[Paul_13]

Might be something as simple as new leak off lines as they're letting air in

[Paul_13]

Got the air intake on, it literally just fits

I found the poor running issue... I'm such a dick

[Poodle]

Got to love the easy fixes. That intake pipe is TOIGHT!

[Paul_13]

Very tight but just fits!

Just put my foot half down and it went right up to 30psi for a split second, better turn the mbc down!

[HDi--Power]

Its too tight, that will knock and bang and rattle at the slightest hint of acceleration

[Paul_13]

Just got to sort the exhaust next as it's rubbing on the subframe

Just needs the ecu budging over and it's all clear else where. I've double checked it doesn't rub

[tim 306td]

Looks bang on that paul keep us updated on how it is it might be my next mod

[Piggy]

That with the 2.2 maf/box?

[Paul_13]

No not yet

[Paul_13]

The bodge of a v band clamp I had on there slipped and the exhaust elbow come half off. I bought another different design v clamp and made it wider, now it's actually solid and I rearranged the downpipe and used a proper u bolt on it. Now the exhaust doesn't hit anything and same goes with the air intake.

No rattles, no bangs from any where.

And blimey does 4th gear shift!

[Piggy]

Good good

[Paul_13]

Put a bit of v power diesel in and it's a bit of monster, currently running 25psi

Next job is the 2.2 hdi air intake box and a proper cold air feed

Might book a rolling Road for a laugh

Hmm seriously debating keeping this

[Danny Wideboy]

That seatbelt anchor been welded before and rusted again? Jeez.

[mattbarker32]

Thats not been treated and finished properly when it was done. I would get a grinder out on it and see how far the rust has set in to the welds and area before you make a decision it may be just surface rust but you wont know till its stripped..

[Paul_13]

I've poked the screwdriver through in several places under the sseat belt anchor already

[mattbarker32]

If you do decide to keep it you may be worth finding a wreaked one and cutting the whole section out and rewelding it back properly and protecting everything on the inside of it wax oil underseal what ever is your preference. Its all down to if you want to do it. Seams a shame when you done the work so far. But understand the frustration

if you are localish and willing to travel will happily offer my services welding it up for you for cheap. be such a shame to get rid of it, i dont think ive ever posted in this thread but i always keep an eye on it and quite like the car. obviously if its time to get rid of the car thats your decision.

[Piggy]

Yeah...I follow this thread a lot but dont really comment...be sad to see it go
Good suggestion above about cutting a section out of another

[Paul_13]

Thanks Bash, might take you up on the offer.

Had thoughts of getting another one swapping engines etc but that's loads of work


Anyone breaking a 5dr hatch?
Surely the panel should be the same

[Danny Wideboy]

Yeah I've a 5 door hatch for breaking, already cut the floor out for my ZX so help yourself. No charge.

Well the offers will always be there all you have to do is drop me a pm and we can sort out whatever you need, then you can take me out in it afterwards as ive never been in a quick hdi

[Paul_13]

Danny, where you based?

Sounds good to me, need to sort out the suspension a bit beforehand

[Danny Wideboy]

Chesham mate. Car is near wendover.
What suspension bits do you need?

[Paul_13]

Cool not that far then

Just need to rebuild the beam and replace the subframe as it's bent . Also the roller bearing wishbones need replacing. Proper levered them into position like an idiot, now they're f*cked

I've got all the bits to do the beam, just getting round to it


Got to sort out the 205 first as there is 6 arms on there I need to use
