Good pipeage Bro :D Past the rad. is the way forward ;)
-
Thanks guys! Yea it really is, I decided to just use all the v6 stuff I had already for the IC and rad :)
Dealing with a crap idle valve atm, I may just block it off in protest to its erratic behaviour.
Also deciding on a boost controller… I feel 6 psi is just so unchallenging for the engine and stock clutch!
-
Love your commitment to finding the slipping point of the Clutch :D
What Boost controller you thinking? 3 way Amal valve affair works exceedingly well :)
-
Thinking of getting the megasquirt compatible valve, then it will be nice and minimalist :) Been working at other projects atm but went to a meet for a while yesterday:
-
Stunning..
Care to share the font used for the rear letting? Would be sweet!
-
Love those SSR's :shock: 8)
Cant beet how FI feels, wish I had a turbo for mine :cheers:
-
how does the 1.5 turbo compare to other versions of the MX-3 you have built?
-
great work mate.
i have an az-3 in black too, has the rear sun shade and side window rain/wind deflectors.but great someone else local to me who knows all about the az3.
having some issues with my fuel tank and filler neck which i need sorting.any help will be appreciated.
-
Cheers spoddy!
Admin it's actually great fun. I think it's a bit quicker than the ZE and does it all at the last 3000revs. Very drivable daily and seems pretty economical too. Must get it dynod and dragged.
Yesterday I replaced:
Timing belt and pulleys and spring
Cam seals
Crank seal
Water pump
Also stripped and cleaned 8x intake hla
It was all a pleasure to replace! Very easy on this engine :)
It still didn't cure my HLA tick but that's because that turned out to be an exhaust gasket!
-
so much space around that engine bay.
never come across that? how was it causing a tick?
-
I've never heard such a percussive exhaust leak. It was right at the head, the two layers of metal were there but the black centre stuff was blown out.
Yea so roomy! It's brilliant being able to stand in the bay :D
-
-
Loving the power plant!, so what's next ??
Wanna race ??? :)
-
Haha! Love the cheeky pops under the bridge :mrgreen:
Turbo envy is setting in!
-
Thanks Ricco! Haha turbos are just too fun :)
lol yea sure come on over Garfy!
This was next, £40 HKS super dragger exhaust off gumtree from a Glanza. Pity it was dented at the tip and the baffles were on the verge of being blown out. The perforated tube had rotten a bit exposing the packing. The bottom had also been flattened and scraped, these people and their lowness :P :lol:
So naturally I chopped it into pieces.
-Carefully cut the end open
-I rammed in a better condition perforated tube
-hammered out the big dent on the tip
-rotated the tip 180deg so all scrapes are hidden at the top
-sanded and polished it up
-new brackets
-welded to my exhaust
Might have to remove my mid silencer, turbos got things far too quiet!
-
That's the sh*t right there! Nicely played Sir :D
-
OOooooo…. I like that exhaust. NICE work. :respect:
-
THanks guys! I'm liking the look a lot.
Check out the flames!
