Great stuff!
cheers James |
cheers james decieded on a few more updates lol
managed to get a couple of updates nothing great thow first made adaptors and made sure everthing algines up on the calipars http://i36.tinypic.com/fz1bq.jpg also made so i can remove them to go back to stock use too then quick rub down andgave door some spray , (was fed up of looking at a blue door http://i37.tinypic.com/2v0vm.jpg then rubbed it down to add to rough affect lol http://i38.tinypic.com/orihwj.jpg next , i wanted more rear wheel camber so added a bit http://i34.tinypic.com/vzj09h.jpg] quick ruber over rear window with buffer http://i35.tinypic.com/2lnixw8.jpg moved wiper so stops in centre maybe a daft idea but works lol http://i34.tinypic.com/ea5b2t.jpg nicely no slip at 20psi ,, tuck my mate in for \a spin ,thought he was going to pass out lol http://i33.tinypic.com/wvopp5.jpg |
next problem i come accoss was i maxed my 21psi map sensor out and my 440cc injectors and noticed the air intake temps were getting rather warm due to the amount of boost so , i needed more airflow , more fuel etc , so came up with this
bigger injectors mod, http://i34.tinypic.com/k34xhh.jpg now ive to do more modifying to get them to fit in the r32 clyinder head which isnt far off ready for fitting , headspacer made,head bolts sorted, exhaust manifold sorted http://i38.tinypic.com/16iv211.jpg buggar they dont fit ,, time to adapt them http://i33.tinypic.com/51dll.jpg did the top three first http://i35.tinypic.com/8x0g79.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/1238obr.jpg job done http://i36.tinypic.com/sm86ix.jpg next short runner to make |
another one built but better spec , ie , head, injectors deul fuel table, more forced air ,
http://i33.tinypic.com/73kmxw.jpg so quick bore sand http://i34.tinypic.com/1zbudzo.jpg sump cleaned http://i38.tinypic.com/2e0mwbl.jpg modifyed head bolts lol http://i38.tinypic.com/2rr31ms.jpg longer on the r32 ,bingo engine rebuilt http://i34.tinypic.com/rkzrqw.jpg quick re wire of the new injectors and plugs http://i36.tinypic.com/2qlz8dt.jpg modifyed a few bits and bingo another engine http://i36.tinypic.com/r7lmog.jpg ill get gearbox and turbo bolted back on ,, |
http://i35.tinypic.com/az8z8.jpg
engine at mo http://i38.tinypic.com/o8c74n.jpg bit of an update , r32 engine at mo http://i49.tinypic.com/33pd9wm.jpg runing well so far lol, runiing 100percent better on dual map setup , only boosting at 12psi so far as im runing the piston rings in and the paddle clutch for a 500mile period then had a go at panel beating lol http://i49.tinypic.com/2rr5rn4.jpg got the tailgate working too (first its been working properly since i started the project http://i46.tinypic.com/rm48cw.jpg next i alterd the rear wheel camber , and finding out there is too mutch due to tyre starting to wear, so some modifying is needed i reckon http://i49.tinypic.com/2qbrk3r.jpg made a start on the left and right hand therded bar so i can adjust the camber on the caddy instead of removeing the arms http://i45.tinypic.com/nly2q8.jpg |
well , its the only way of getting the camber and track correct by adding some adjusters ,
http://i50.tinypic.com/ra0z5s.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2e326gj.jpg thats them fitted and sorted thought id make a homemade compression tester quick 5min joby as i couldnt find a tester with the correct plug therd on the r32 head , so used a stock plug removed the bits and brazed the steel and brass togther and added a few o rings and a quick test , works a treat http://i46.tinypic.com/2utsvms.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/25zij2o.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2hyiis9.jpg works a treat all clyinders nicely show 8 with the homemade compression spacer |
well guys not really a update on the caddy , but as i thought i can weld,stick braze , ive decieded to treat myself to a tig welder ,,, and a nice ac/dc so i can have a go a tiging alloy/steel/copper/stainless etc ,,as i fancy makeing a new manifold from alloy for my caddy ,due to fitting this beter flowing head ,,never tryed it but ill get the hang of it ,,
|
right been having a few problems with my engine nothing too bad yet lol , , but noticed a rattle/ camshaft/hydrolic noise which was makeing the engine miss/run rough as its seems to get louder) from the clyinder head as its been doing this for a while, so after doing a compression test found no2 clyinder was down on compression , i thought the worst , ie , bent valve, piston issuse , , so , after removeing lifters,and checking camshafts ,which were fine , i added some of this
http://i50.tinypic.com/2lbgacm.jpg added to the oil and fired it up , with in 5mins of idioling the noise has gone sounds loads better and the engine isnt missing and back up on compression ,, next , ive had a bit of a boost leak so made a quick boost tester and added a few psi of air , found a small leak on the ecu vacum pipe so repaired it , dam engine pulls now ,, http://i48.tinypic.com/259cs9y.jpg did a small mobile video , sounds lots better rather chuffed http://tinypic.com/r/23kdamd/6 |
well having some winter fun in the caddy , i went out yesterday in the snow ,to check out the 4wd,, was rather funny seeing cars spining ,going no were, people were rather gobsmacked lol,while 2wd cars get stuck , powernut comes along will all 4wd powering thew the snow ,, rather funny when u see there faces ,,,a nice thumbs up did the trick :thumbs_up:
|
well decided to try for more boost and tuning so had to change the stock 250kpa map sensor and up to too a 400kpa map sensor ok for 38psi if needed
quick pic of the instail http://i47.tinypic.com/35cjuis.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2qb94ar.jpg now tuning for 27psi ,,, |
