looks ace mate!!!

Well actually the same as the vision i had in my head for mine looks wise!! lol
I will have some differences that will make it my own tho but nice to see one done in the style i like!

I need 13s and coilovers now!!!! hehe
 
Cheers guys :)

Have been doing some freebie stiff on the car whilst there's a lack of munjey

Let's just say I can now push the car with one hand in and out of the garage :)

All will be revealed at the weekend :eek:
 
Ha ha you lot, she's on a diet :)

If it ain't needed it's coming off!!

It's amazing how much engineering goes into the rear of these cars, every nut bolt and fixing

Shame I don't need it lol

May also be coming sunday now :)
 
morning all,

some of you who met and saw the car at brighton will remember the strange popping and banging and lack of power i was having!!

at first me and noddie thought the turbo had gone and that was the end of that!

eventually after 36 quids worth of bp super unleaded i got home, popping banging and black smoke out the back:eek:

i had had enough and took all turbo associated parts off that night and went about fitting the stock manifold and downpipe back on

My theory was, if it ran fine then theres something wrong with the turbo or setup i had albeit it wasnt actually connected to the throttle body and wasnt running any boost at all!?

noddie had noticed a blow in the downpipe and my lamba which is after this would have caused the readings on the lamba to be different as exhuast gases were escaping through the blow

so after connecting stock manifold and downpipe with original lamba sensor she still runs bad!! ive checked everything and the only thing i can think of is the fuel

it ran fine before this, no problems whatsoever, it was fine on the way to the petrol station, now im thinking about it i only had fumes in the car on the way there, literally about 20p in the tank way below the gauge at this point

i put 26 quids worth of the super unleaded in and around 15 -20 mins later i started to get real bad trouble

spitting backfiring,popping banging, no power, hesitating and shuddering

hmm could have been diesel lol:p

so basically now i have removed the stock stuff, plumbed in oil lines and put turbo back on, got to re fit downpipe and test her again

also have decided to hook it up and will eventually set it to 3-4 psi and go up and down the road to see if all is well

so going to have to drain the fuel and change filter and put in some normal unleaded, weird though as every car ive had , escpecially the white super s responded REALLY well to the stuff!?

stani i know my turbs isnt connected but are the symptoms simliar to yours matey when you put different fuel in?(Y)

cant think of anything else to be honest as to why this would happen
:suspect::suspect::suspect::suspect::suspect::suspect::suspect::suspect::suspect:
every thing was perfect before the fill up so its got to be that ahsnt it?

yeah, we were hastey thinking it was the turbo.
take the plug out mate, i still think it might be running a bit rich. (plugs will be black)
 
Have you checked the Lambda, MAF and Dizzy just in case its a coincidence (quicker than removing the petrol tank / fuel lines),

It does sound like its overfuelling which could be down to a few reasons...but i guess its possible you've bought some bad fuel.

he's got a fuel pressure reg now eh, might just be set wrong? do you know what the stock pressure is? we have already turned it down to 25psi from 30...
 
Only thing the haynes says is :

Fuel pump regulated constant pressure (approx) 2.5 bars. My reg is set somewhere around there.

A bad fuel regulator could be pullling fuel through the vac hose sending extra into the system un-metered...might be worth checking. Any vac leaks for that matter will be worth looking for.

Actually thinking about it, how bad was the exhaust blowing? do you know what the lambda was reading? if the exhaust gases were escaping / fresh air getting in before the lambda it might have leaned the signal and could have caused the fuel system to counter to try and pull everything back in-line.

Maybe try disconnecting the battery so the ecu resets and start from there.
 
cheers for the help guys will be cracking on tommorrow with it, i dont think it was bad fuel, just my car is fussy :p

ill let you all know tomorrow

thanks again(Y)
 
Its Has to be the fuel, the FPR or a ####ed injector. On idle unplug each injector connection individually and listen to see if the engine noise changes. My injector number 1 was goosed last time and it happened just after fill up of the higher octane tesco crap. I only use shell now
 
Fitted downpipe today, hooked everything back up

Still runnin like poo :(

Removed plugs 1 and 4

1 was wet and black

4 was DRY and black

With engine running and removed injector 1 clip ( nearest oil cap )

Engine started to drop revs

Same with injector 2

However I removed injector 3 and 4 and no change to engine

It even starts with them unplugged ???

I'm guessing you Right stani?

Set about removing the last injector, no chance!! Got the metal holding ring off perfectly, but couldn't get injector out?

It twists but won't pull out, had mole grips on it as well.... Any ideas

Got a video too just to here it running so you can see what I'm on about, not very clear though

i always use the holding ring to flick them out martin (angled slightly and a prybar under it)
sounds pokey tho eh :cool:
 
Today i prepared a fuel rail with 1.6 injectors, they given some fight but went out with a mole grip, and i always install them with a bit of WD40 on the o-rings.

And i have more problem taking out the retaining bolts than with removing the injectors. :laugh:
 
Bolts were easy, apply pressure on big Phillips / crosshead screwdriver and turn slowly

What would have happened to both injectors? Have they broken or blocked ?
 
it there, no change in engine note @ idle with 3 and 4 disconnected, but running on all 4 at WOT, then i would suspect a headgasket fail between the bores maybe martin ?
 
Schit pants, really!! I can disconnect whilst the engines running with both 3 and 4 disconnected

Can also start the car with both disconnected?

thats not good,thought these were built proof engines?

easier to replace the block just get head gasket(if that is the problem)

cheerd for the help
 
yeah mine dont do that on 3 and 4
ill swap my injectors for my 1.0 tomorrow and go from there, hope that sorts it:suspect:
 
Yes, swap the injectors, if that doesnt work swap the HT leads, then move to the distributor, maybe the cap or rotor are in bad condition (worn out). Could be the optical sensor inside the dizzy, but i had that problem and only 1st cylinder was missing spark below 2.500rpm:

[video=youtube;cPkNZaFvfMM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPkNZaFvfMM[/video]
 
In which case, i personally would try cleaning the plugs up, and refit the original fuel pressure reg.
then try it:) wont take long and will rule out that its wrong fuel pressure.

Frank said in a previous thread that normal pressure is 45psi with vacuum pipe disconnected.
 
I thought about fuel pressure mate to be honest, could re fit the original no problem

I'll swap spark plugs ht leads and fpr later

Each in succession to see if there's any change

I hope it is injector or sparks, and nothing more serious

Really don't wanna pay stupid amounts for fpr :(
 
Right spark plugs have been swapped no difference

Ht leads are fine as pulled leads of as car was on, got shocked loads

I pulled ht leads of 1 and 2 but engine doesn't cut out with 3 and 4 still connected so it must be ok

Could be Fuelling I guess ??

If it is it's getting thrown as far as possible!grr

Gonna try stock fpr in minute just hope it's not the funking head gasket!!

Wish me luck
 
Have you swapped the injectors yet? If not maybe try removing the fuel rail with injectors in place pointing the jets to a piece of cardboard/paper and see if 3/4 spray. You have said 3/4 have been dry and black which suggests no fuel if the others are wet and black......
 
Make sure all the plugs are good and clean/dry before you test it with stock fpr. I have got a spare dizzy if you don't have one to test.
 
Right changed fpr, no luck

My car sounds like a Subaru !

I could see the sparks out the end of the ht lead

Checked plugs again, all wet

Number 3 was really wet but didn't smell of fuel!????

Took a video not very clear and upside down but you can hear it

Not happy may just get another 1.3 :(

Hooked the actuator up as well to see if having the turbo connected would make a difference

Faster na to be honest

You had and overheating problem earlier on this engine, right? (or was it on the other Micra you had?)

Can you swap heads put the 1.0 on and see if that helps (disconnecting the turbo stuff)

not sure what you mean, what would that do matey?

guess i need some low mileage 1.3 from scrappys :(

i dont wanna take all the head off etc only to find the gaskets fine
