Yeah it'll be about 6bar fuel pressure at 5psi boost pressure, bit much lol. afr gauge goes rich occasionally when it jumps, but never lean I don't think. I've got a spare dizzy and a spare tb that I may try out. But I'm worried that I may have had some piston to valve contact and lost...

yeah hopefully it should be ok with stock injectors at low boost for now, with some dampening. But I'll have to adjust it when I fit the larger top feed injectors. I must have at least one combination that works now though :) Any thoughts about what could be causing the jumpy ride at low revs...

No it's not the update it should have been :( I've been far too busy to do the swap. At Japfest2, Donnington Park. Car's also developed a fault which is putting me off fitting the turbo. It's kangarooing quite a bit and when coming to a stop the revs drop and it can occasionally stall, I've...

ta mate :) that's a pretty smart idea to have it on the rod itself, adjust the strength of the spring by moving the nut too?

Adapted a Ford Escort RS T3 actuator to fit this Fiesta RS T2 turbo. Set it to open as early as possible which is 10psi, it's fully open at 16psi. A little too high so I'm going to have to do something about that, not welding that close to the diaphragm this time though. Just got to get...

nah, I think TD05's big enough isn't it lol. Vid looks n sounds good, how is it on the roads compared to the 10.5:1 low boost t15?

Frank did you use a small fuel filter as a damper before, or have I just made that up?? lol if so, how did that work out for you? I was thinking of making a cigar hose by using a 10mm hose and a couple of adapters, but something like an inline fuel filter may be more suitable, cheaper and...

ta mate, still got a long way to go, this 1 step forward 2 steps back game is challenging :) I'm in the middle of making a throttle body spacer/adapter(got to rotate the tb to clear the fuel rail), which I want to incorporate a 5th injector on the front. So I think the QG injectors should be...

Frank's a star, and supplied me with a ready made 1/8bsp to 10mm banjo pipe for the oil feed. Thank you mate :) Unfortunetly I need one one-size bigger, bugger. That's the last time I use the internet instead of going outside with a ruler! I got my hope up of fitting it this week too. The...

Ah that would be great if you have, thanks, do you think this kart brake pipe will be a straight/straighter fit then?

That's quite something Frank, looks alien like :D I take it there's no plans to go bigger then?

This oil feed line has turned into a bit of a pi$s take. None of the expensive aluminium aero hose connectors want to connect to the braided steel n teflon hose. I've tried everything to get them to work/seal but the hose just pulls right off. It's the correct size too apparently :S I'm now...

Result from the inlet cam's not that great low down at the minute, mid is better and top end is pretty good when it gets there, alot easier to hit the limiter now as it just keeps pulling, I had removed limiter but it feels like it's come back. I guess some more compression would help the...

Fitted a AFR gauge. I'll find a subtle place in the dash at some point when I've found a nice boost guage to match. It's plugged into pin 105 in the ecu. Results showing it runs lean at cruise until about 60mph then it goes off the scale lean at anything above it. Or if the throttles 3/4 open...

oooouch head gasket fail, so it's not really the result of too much boost.. That's good to hear I guess. What are you replacing it with?

yeah frank, my wording's bad. 5.5mm would sound about right as that would make the CR/HR/QG buckets range from 3mm upto 3.7mm thick like nissan4u says, so with a thick CR bucket(ie 3.6mm) and a thick CG shim(ie 2.7) underneath, it would be about right :)

Nissan4u.com's saying the part-number for the CR buckets are the same for the CG CGA and QG buckets too, but there's a variety of them for the CR and QG engines, I guess that's the thickness, and they're from 3.0-3.7[mm] So there's a tiny posibility some CR/HR/QG buckets could be 0.7mm thicker...

.

ah good point, I don't think I'm going to fab anything better suited, or even near the quality of the stock shims. The plan is to put this modified head onto the CG10 and turbocharge it, just to see what it can take. And hopefully set a decent 1/4mile time;) I can always adjust the cam timings...

yeah I definately won't be grinding them to 1mm frank. How about 1mm thick carbon-steel squares placed under the buckets?
