turned on the heaters wile the car was running and the air was still cold...

Sat Oct 04, 2008 5:09 pm

Yes, stock fan here.

def air locked, that's the usual issue, it might be worth filling the matrix through the pipes in the bulkhead.

massage them all till the coolant stops bubbling through the bleed valve.

@ Gunnii, do you have a typical afr arget map? I've set mine but not 100% it's right.

Sat Oct 04, 2008 7:03 pm

yeah, thought it might be air locked, gonna try sort it tomorrow, and get the log and map for gunni as he has very nicley said he would sort the fuel!!
what a nice chap!!

I´ve seen it a million times, it´s the hose pipes on the wrong way ;)

Fozz what does your lambda map look like?

il try swapping them over tomorrow, but im pretty sure they are on right.

back of head to bottom matrix hose.

exp tank hose runs to upper matrix hose

it will not bleed without these correctly fitted Sean.

Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:24 pm

sound, cheers, il take a look in a bit!!!

Sun Oct 05, 2008 5:01 pm

Nice thread, been reading through, this one sounds like one to watch out for!
How much did you take off the pistons to bring the cr down to 8.0cr?

Looking forward to heaering about the running of this one!

Sun Oct 05, 2008 5:05 pm

just the squish was taken off, there is still a bowl in the top of the piston, also had deep valve reliefs cut for the more agressive cam.

took it out for a spin before but still very lumpy...

double checked it and they were on the right way, looks like its just got to be bled.

Sun Oct 05, 2008 7:05 pm

Ah fair enough, yea the 7mm i took of mine, still left me a slight dip just off centre, what cam have you gone for?

Sun Oct 05, 2008 7:20 pm

cat cams, turbo cam.
ant supplys them.

Mon Oct 06, 2008 12:01 am

ah right yea, just waiting for my one to come through

Mon Oct 06, 2008 5:28 pm

couple more pics from today....

not happy though a i still cant bleed the coolant!!!!

Mon Oct 06, 2008 5:55 pm

Did you fill it slowly through the radiator top hose (pouring into the engine) and bottom hose into the rad?

Thats how i did it on the 320 and it bled up straight away.

I also had it on a pair of those steel ramps so it was nose up, which helps.

It looks good though, it will all be worth it the first time you bring it on boost and dispatch some council chariot

Mon Oct 06, 2008 6:05 pm

yep tryd that, rad is full, got it jacked up, still nothing!!

Mon Oct 06, 2008 6:08 pm

sean that rad looks tiny in that bay

Mon Oct 06, 2008 6:15 pm

yeah it does doesnt it!
gonna look into getting a custom ally rad made up!

Mon Oct 06, 2008 6:16 pm

Mon Oct 06, 2008 6:18 pm

Mon Oct 06, 2008 6:20 pm

Mon Oct 06, 2008 6:22 pm

with regards to your cooling prob give me a quick call should be able to sort it as i am off home now mobile is below in sig

Thu Oct 30, 2008 10:41 pm

Right, im at a loose end with this car, i just dont know weather to sell it or keep it.

dont want to sell, but it wont get used.
IF i was to sell i would want to get another but just a 2.7.
anyone have any idea of what it would be worth? its a waste as its cost me around 10k all in and i know i would never see that again.

Thu Oct 30, 2008 10:53 pm

Are you still having problems Sean?

Thu Oct 30, 2008 11:11 pm

to be honest mate, i havent even been to my car since the last time i spoke to you, gonna go this weekend and get the new rad in and try sort the ecu to get it running again.
just dont know what to do with it at the mo.
coz i bought the m3, now i want to strip and cage it and il just throw more and more money at it, if i was in the uk close to tracks it would be fine.
