Yup tpft£1300 insurance???????
Just hope to the gods you never have to claim with them...
...or don't declare anything, as I have it on good authority they check forum build threads like this for anything you may have forgotten to declare
That wasn't my main concern. My concern is their reluctance to pay out a "fair" sum if the unthinkable happens.Everything is declared engine output power, engine size, turbo, brakes etc I'm legal
Lol he didn't know which exit to take lolSounds like youre on a driving test with the directions mate
you gonna head down to the brum meet tomorrow? Think you'd steal the show in that!
8psi I believe t28 garrettWhat boost are you running, And what turbo? Also were you going for it there?
Oldham and I've not met Mov but I know he has a turbo micra tooLooks seriously quick (and fun!) Andy . Where abouts in Manchester are you? Have you met Mov, he's another 2L Micra in Manchetser - you could compare notes .

Not on slip road no due to traffic. We sat at 80 I think and in about 5 secs were at 130 lol. Initially I think he had foot down but I have a worn clutch so have to compensate over wise it just slips the clutch. I've had 145 out of it which believe me is a tiny bit scary but the car feels well built for it. Wanna get it on a track and see what it can do really once I sorted out the clutch

2nd boost fuel pump , unusual approach eh
a dyno run would shed some light on whether is running safely eh (det free)
i,m guessing he has plumbed in a 2nd fuelpump that kicks in via a boost sensitive switch (a new one on me !)Dunno about 2nd boost fuel pump. What does it do?
I want to dyno it but with the clutch slipping it will just give false readings.
Need to uprate the clutch but I don't know what to get! It's a primera sport gearbox 2001 and the guy says any almera Gti clutch will fit

there is a switch by the throttle cable when on full throttle it touches it and activates it.. i pressed it when it was idle and it bogged down and if i held it on it stalled.. so i guess ur right and its throwing more fuel in on full throttle!
i have a boost gauge but its in kPa and i aint a clue what that is in bar or PSI. apparently its running 9psi but the max ive had the boost gauge show is 70kPa
heh, thats even cruder than my ghetto setup what were you racing when it blew andy ?
det, enemy #1 for those of us running boost aint it your H/G should hold 10 psi easyEh? I don't understand. Sorry

have a search on the nistune forum andy (most of them are sr20 anyway iirc) and you will see why your N/A sparkmap is det pronePulsar head gasket set £145 + VAT! Ouch.

does the cylinder head NEED to be skimmed? can i not just clean up the head gasket area and fit a new head gasket? i didnt run it long after the head gasket went and the temp gauge never went above normal.

Get a straight edge and see if the block and head are warped. If fine then clean up using sharp implements and high grade sand paper.
And you can use cheap gaskets , just if not mapped properly you are you going to get DET.

.... it has done abou 50000 miles since the rebuild and still has no issues, as for mapping it, no it doesn't get mapped, it has the Almera gti ecu and loom running extra injectors at certain intavals of boost, ie 3 psi injector 1 comes in,( this is a really cheap way of doing it and has worked for us over 50000 miles.
