whats the verdict on that vid the armando ? does the ecu just interpolate if it runs off the scale anyway ?Yes, at that time i couldn't get it to work right. When i installed the CA18 MAF and later the SR20 MAF on my Turbo SR i had problems with that also (like pollyp), but over time i manage to work the VQ MAP and it works great. Must get another GA16 T/B to test that VQ MAP (GA16, CA18 and SR20 VQ MAP's look very similar).
Well today , I painted the calipers red , and also put on some 9.5mm spacers all round and de badged it will be being lowered on New Year's Day pics to follow very soon !!
Steering will probably get heavier again once camber and toe have been adjusted, will be all over the place atm remember!View attachment 27095

so yeah, lows then haha, feels amazing!! so much lighter on the steering and looks awesome now! got alot of attention at the krispy kreme meet, had a practice run up my college drive, the speedbumps are no problem! apart from the back way but no one likes to take the back track

and here,s the difference with the airflow coming from a different direction !i,m gonna try turning the chargepipe hose andy (sideways on) to check the air is,nt being biased towards the maf sensor (because the t/b is mounted backwards)
or else open up the maf area till it maxes the maf @ full chat

i dont want to fit a bigger t/b, the SR t/b worked ok, but because the air is being shoved through the throttleplate under pressure, the SR one was like an on/off switch (full power at 1/4 throttle, and no difference between 1/4 or full throttle)
That looks quite a bit different eh. maybe consider some flow smoothing before the TB? you still got that bit of mesh over the inlet? how is A/F looking with the new setup?and here,s the difference with the airflow coming from a different direction !
ah dunno what my a/f/r,s are tbh, but it still does the same 70 miles/tenner if i dont boot it, and about 15 miles/tenner if i do so i dont think they are far outDon't know what Ed did on your ECU, you need to check the load scalers to see if they hit the last cells, but if your AFR's are ok then the ECU maps are good for your setup.
I had that problem with the GA16 T/B, almost no throttle but it seemed like i was giving it half throttle, AFR's were ok at half and full throttle, but at idle and light cruise AFR's were mad rich.
yes ed, i,ll try a precoilpack mani next (with the t/b the right way round) then open up the t/b till it maxes @ below 5v ehThat looks quite a bit different eh. maybe consider some flow smoothing before the TB? you still got that bit of mesh over the inlet? how is A/F looking with the new setup?
Didn't ebdude or similar find a small loss of power without the mesh?yes ed, i,ll try a precoilpack mani next (with the t/b the right way round) then open up the t/b till it maxes @ below 5v eh
edit, no mesh mate
without a dyno andy ?You know, you can prove or disprove it as a theory easy enough eh frank, settle it once and for all
You'll be able to see the airflow difference on the maf reading surely?without a dyno andy ?
i think maf,s are a pretty crude measuring instrument andy, and the voltage scale is curve iirc, so a slight voltage difference in the top-end may be pretty meaningless ?You'll be able to see the airflow difference on the maf reading surely?
Almera or primera I thought ? didn't you show either had fogs that will fit ?@davyboy
don't you mean almera?
i dont think we are far off, there are probably some tweaks you can do to the venturi around the sensor (must,ve nudged the cam mount out of position on this vid eh )i dont buy those theory,s about the mesh personally, just a stone filter imo
we,ve fitted a mani and turned the t/b, so i,ll try again later
Bought another one:

1.3 LX. Finding a 1.0 turned out to be almost impossible, for some reason they were all vastly overpriced. This one has almost no rust and has had only one, fairly well done patch to the shell. It's a lovely motor. Had to flip a coin on the price though. I won hehe1.0 or 1.3? Been looking for a moredoor myself

As long as you're patient you'll get a decent one Bit wierd driving a 5 door because the b pillar is so far forward the seatbelt is forward as well, you don't feel quite as secure.Yeah, seen a lot more 1.4/1.3 5 doors... You got lucky then I just need to find a nice one near me now

130k. Not a whiff of chain rattle. I got 9 years worth of servicing and MOT's, last owner kept on top of it for the most part.@Euno
Many miles has it done?
I think maybe I'll keep it? The car doesn't go as well when I take it out...I think you should donate the engine to me for research purpoises
Almera or primera I thought ? didn't you show either had fogs that will fit ?
This will sound strange, but, I like the look on the front with them in. Not worried if they work or notyou need a switch davy?
Where abouts do you hail from Davy?This will sound strange, but, I like the look on the front with them in. Not worried if they work or not
However, if they are on the car, do they have to work for MOT ? I don't think I'm gonna like the answer.
How easy to wire that stalk in? won't be me - I'd set fire to the car
What about the dolphins ???I think you should donate the engine to me for research purpoises

Bit far or I would have given you a hand. They don't have to work for MOT, although non working fogs may be picked up as an advisory. It's a simple wiring circuit to build. Just some wire rated at greater than 10A, a 10A fuse and holder, a 3A fuse and holder and a 30A relay (as well as the switch of your choosing, e.g. the fog stalk switch).Cornwall bud - end of the known world !!!
Is that a yes ? they are part of the MOT ?no as far as im aware front fogs are part of mot, and just asking i may be getting primera with switch tomorrow
Is that a yes ? they are part of the MOT ?
Luvvly jubbly.not part of mot
Is that a yes ? they are part of the MOT ?
This is not the case on all models unfortunatelyThe fog light connections are already there on my car, I can assume they're there for yours. Not sure if I have a switch for them or not though, have a look
