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 ,

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

powernut Nov 30th, 2009 17:21

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

powernut Nov 30th, 2009 17:22

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 ,,

powernut Dec 2nd, 2009 17:06

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

powernut Dec 29th, 2009 22:28
