    K11 Aeroblades

    I have had them on mine for a 7 months or more and i have no scratches and have very clear screen even in extreme rain, and i got mine from ebay, just generic retro fit ones, i think i got a 20" and 18" one. They just clip into the standard wiper arm, take 30 seconds to fit, they look a little...

    Upcoming turbo micra? is anyone going to built one in 2013?

    I will let you know the price when i get the pipes made up, as for mapping, tbh i am gonna see how it goes, but yeah i will more than likely get it mapped, but i will need to get it all plumbed in and running before that, and i will need to speak to Ed to see about getting it done, and cost etc.

    Upcoming turbo micra? is anyone going to built one in 2013?

    I got a local pipe specialist to make me the feed and return with high temp oil/fuel pipe and stainless overbraid, and all the fittings into the block and sump and turbo, they think it should be no more than 50-60 quid all in, just got to take the car there so they can give a proper quote (went...

    Upcoming turbo micra? is anyone going to built one in 2013?

    Mine should be finished Feb/March time, got around 75% of the parts needed, i think/hope. Then its down to luck, and advice from the guys who have already done the conversion.

    Frankspeed modified manifold vs 421 manifold.

    Mine passed the MOT with a frankspeed fitted with a non coilpack cat with a lloyd system, give (me, anyway) a bit more poke at the top of the rev range, but that may just be my engine type

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    WDID? passed my MOT with an advisory for a noisy exhaust, it has a PL system on it, so i should hope so :)

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    after a quick scan of that thread, and i mean quick, i see the logic in stani's argument in the twin HG setup, but then the decomp plate has its merits too, i think i will stick with the twin HG setup for now, its only gonna be 4-6 ish psi so they should hold fine

    2mm plus the standard HG, that should drop the CR, just out of interest what would the CR go from - to with 2x standard H/G, and the same with a 2.00mm decomp and standard HG?

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    Mmm, ferriday only show the bi metal at either 0.6 and 1.0mm so it looks like a decomp plate, they have the CGA one on file, so its just a matter of getting the thickness i want, i am guessing a 0.4-0.6mm decomp plate would be ideal or would a thicker one be better? bearing in mind i wont be...

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    Ok, getting there with the parts now, but i been looking at http://www.ferriday.co.uk/copper/copper.shtml for a head gasket, would the bi metal HG be a better option than the two standard HG's i was thinking of running? whats the standard thickness of the CGA HG?

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    afaik the standard internals can run 7psi no worries, but having never done it, i aint the best to ask, maybe when i blow something then i will be lol, i am thinking of running either a double HG setup or even a decomp plate to help, again the turbo boys will hopefully help on this one

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    I am running standard internals, standard MAF and T/B, and i already have QG injectors and standard fuel pump. From what i have seem, the standard pump can supply enough fuel and the standard T/B MAF can handle 6 psi without problems, the QG injectors should allow more fuel at a slightly lower...

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    Thats something that i am gonna have to work on on the fly, i am hoping that with only running 4-6 psi and running colder plugs i wont need to to do too much in that department, if it turns out i do then i guess i would be looking toward Ed to help me out, ether with a remap if poss or maybe...

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    Ok, just a little update, got a couple of nice packages through the post this morning, one from frank, that being a modded mani/gt1549 turbo/downpipe, second being a mushroom filter and the third being a few fitments for oil feed and return. Need to order a few more parts, rebuild the turbo...

    Peanut butter Vs. faded plastics

    I have seen the heatgun trick done, but i am a bit dubious about using it on my trim, knowing my luck i would melt something, peanut butter is safer in my hands :)

    Peanut butter Vs. faded plastics

    Yes mate, it does indeed work, its the oil in it that does the job, i use it all the time, just warm it up a bit in this weather else its a right pain to use

    i will mate, soon as i get the all the bits needed, i will put up a blog/price list/ parts list etc and hopefully between all of us we can get more coilpacks boosted :)

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    i am all to familiar with the boost devil, metro turbo, renault 11 turbo, cosworth. after having the cosworth and things costing stupid money to fix i know my limits. I say i want only 4 psi, but thats due to having an old metro T3 actuator that i could fit to the t15, so that would be a major...

    Thinking of Turboing my Coilpack....

    Sterry, from what i can gather, although your temps may be correct, it seems that the second cat on its own wont pass an MOT due to it not getting hot enough on a NA setup, this is from the forum results, but with a turbo set up and far enough forward, i am thinking i would just and i mean just...
