[Silverfang]

Loving that, can't wait to see a power curve, hope it'll have decent torque, should do with that!

[buster]

looks spunktastic mate
good work

[gareth]

every time you post something, my car just seems slower!

[appletree]

looking good fella any chance you could give me abit more info on how you moved the servo/master cylinder? i need to do this for my S/c conversion.

also is there enough room between the servo and you plenum for when the engine rocks about????

[Toby_Unna]

Appletree...

the plenum is actually isolated from the inlet trumpets, it's only connected to the engine by those rubber boots. there's a little room to spare anyway, i'm not expecting major vibration issues.

with ref to the servo, most of it should be in this thread with pics mate

if you remove the glovebox what i have done should be fairly clear. although i'm not sure if you could do this without fitting the smaller diameter Golf servo as i have... if this not clear i'll help in any way i can

[ed325i]

I cant see what they have done with the servo on this.

[Gabi_323i]

mounted the e28 hidraulic servo?

Toby just seen the older version of you car(m30 inlet mani) in PPC, stocking present Nice write up on it fella, it must be a couple of months behind you

older version? oh, you mean the working version

it has to run a few months behind to give me a chance to sort out all the problems

[Toby_Unna]

i think that red car probably does have the hydraulic servo, but as it's only half finished in that pic some of the fluid lines etc are not installed.

it also looks a lot lot nicer than my shed under the bonnet

[oze30]

what management are you using? Would you be able to run a normal ecu when not force inducting it?

I dont think they have as the associated plumbing/expansion tanks and the master cylinder would be much further up towards the front of the car.

[Toby_Unna]

it's alive

first turn of the key too, straight to life. video'd it, but my camera didn't work properly

idles nice and flat and revs nicely, but not sensible to drive it today, need to tidy the wiring and make sure a few bits are tightened up properly lol.

[DRIFTBOY]

Nice one Toby!

Glad it started ok for you with no problems, well done!

Bet you can't wait to road test it! ?

[E30BeemerLad]

good work dude
Just got the latest PPC mag, 330bhp at 7psi on the original setup, man that's good

[Toby_Unna]

just went and road tested it anyway, but only to move it round the corner.

goes ok, but needs Ant to come and make it run nicely again

[d6dph]

Top work Toby. Be interesting to see if it was worth the work rather than just to look pretty.

[Toby_Unna]

few photos of a very untidy engine bay (for now)







chocolate block on the TPS leads

[buster]

nice one toby,it looks awesome,im glad you got it all working ok.

[e30_Turbo]

Well done Toby!

[adamS]

Good effort!

[oze30]

Wheres the AFM??

If you run the ITB's.. do you need afm? if so, where to put it on a non FI car?

[Ant]

Wheres the AFM??

In the bin where it belongs

no point in spending time and money on an ITB setup to make the whole lot breath through a restrictive AFM

Toby, PM replied too mate, you sorted the 02 boss BTW ?

[Toby_Unna]

read and replied

no forgot about that, but i will do. soon go through that old boss with the grinder and stick a nice new one on

[Andy335Touring]

Cool ! I didn't know it was running !

Thanks for the name drop in PPC

[jkarran]

Nice.

Where are you getting O2 bung from?

[Ant]

Thanks for the name drop in PPC

yeah, ditto that for me

1 Bar spring this time Toby

[Toby_Unna]

1 Bar spring this time Toby

not touched it since friday, been abroad. it's going to get it now though

only problem is there's no way of knowing which spring is which - i got 5 or 8 of the buggers with the WG. maybe i'll make some shims up instead.

[e21Jason]

Hi Toby

Try a simple spring balane put a stack of2p's or something on top of the springs and measure the compresion, at least you can grade them from hard to soft then

Jason

[Toby_Unna]

thanks jason, did try that already but didn't have the patience. think i've got it figured - i have a black spring that apparently will give 1.1 bar.

[Toby_Unna]

tidyed things up a bit today, so here are a few more shots. looks nice, drives like a total bag of nails though! guess it's to be expected really. actually starts far better than it did before and idles nicely on warmup, but runs stinking rich and despite driving it a bit i haven't been able to do much about it. basically it needs the talent and expertise of a certain mr. woodjetts











crazy water plumbing!

[buster]

Nice one Toby,fair play mate.I didnt think you were going to get that thing on there !!

[bigkev]

Toby i read in the last issue of PPC that the guy with the blown Minor had some issues with the rearmost cylinder running lean due to the shape of the manifold (the same volume for all cylinders) do you think you will have this problem with the intake on the end of the plenum chamber , reason i ask is i need to start making a manifold for the M50 and i want to make sure i get it right first time
