Right up and about to cut the grass n shizzle then I shall put my. Brake lines on and do this flow test. Very curious as to what she is pisshing out. Looking at it if I a litre a min at idle @1200k full chat erm 7 grand / 1.2k bout 5.3 . 5.3 litres of flow at full chat... No? Maths ain't my strong point

a pumps flow rate/pressure are not directly linked with RPM. and stop messing about with numbers, get a measuring jug under it and tell us what it says!!! :D
 
Lol noddie shhh. I wanna try and see if my guestimation adds up. We will find out soon. Though

It's not a continuous flow pump (such as a centrifugal pump) so actually flow rate IS proportional to rpm. Maximum pressure however is dependant on the effective swept volume of the pump I believe.
 
Well I had a quick 5 mins and I put the restrictor on got the car warm.. Ragged it when oil got warm.. Et voila no burning oil. Still tomorrow I will flow test it with and without restrictor to be sure. Things are looking good. Well either way. The lack of burning oil will help with mot. Hoping that the standard fuel pump and sr20 cat we can get it through the mot. Andy when you hear tomorrow?

  • loosen the cable end nut,
  • knock off the handbrake cable clip from the caliper support arm,
  • take out the rear caliper,
  • unhook the cable end from the caliper handbrake arm,
  • while someone moves the handbrake up/down and you keep the inner cable taught at the other end, check if the inner cable slides in/out smoothly,
  • grab the caliper handbrake arm with pliers,
  • turn the arm fully on/off making sure it turns smoothly and springs back fully to its resting point without sticking (sticky/resistive = dried grease inside or seized arm or seized mechanism),
  • visually check the piston nudges in/out slightly as the arm is turned (no movement = handbrake engaging central shaft in the caliper is seized).

Yeah I still swear she burning oil. Dunno what to do. The car stinks. It may be oil/paint and other brake and steering fluids burning out the engine bay and what not. Really worried about this mot. Dunno what to do. hoping she will be calm enough on the up the bum exam. ahhhhh the panic! V5 hasn't turned up so I cannot bloody tax it. Gahhhrrrr fix it jen.

@pollyp err so why does it still retract and all that but not massive amounts. Pish. Will rip it apart again. It won't take me as long this time round with experience.
