RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 12-05-2018
Someone kindly stole 2 of the genuine rota centre caps while MrsPiggy was parked at a job.
They are tricky to find genuine and expensive....
So instead, custom set for price of one Rota cap...

Nobs! Like the new custom ones though! May as well be silly if you can

alignment needs slightly adjusting. to make 2 bolts look like the eyes.

some numbers from a short day trip.
figures as close as I could read.
Stock HDI 90.
speed 60
rpm 2k
water 75*c
oil 95*c
pressure 40-50psi
battery 14v.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 13-05-2018
Thanks
We know stock HDi don't make heat...even tuned HDi stuff doesn't make heat.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Magenta Sunset - 14-05-2018
knowledge is power, wouldn't you say
the only time temps -esp oil, go up, is when queueing past Heathrow on the M25. then the oil indicates 110*c (gauge is slightly erratic), and water 90*c.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 14-05-2018
Yes for sure... If I've learnt nothing else with my projects it's that information is worth 10x as much as parts

great going buddy!
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 26-05-2018
Trying to sort the little things to help me fall in love...
So debadged today as some of them were damaged...exposed a bad paint repair though...but that's no surprise.
Also have fixed passenger window the other day... Got motor on route for RCL fix too...
Fitted decent speakers in the front and rear (from the old GTD days) and some OEM front tweeters...combined with a lovely new(ish) Sony HU which connects via BT to me phone for music/calls. Plus a usb slot for a micro usb stick.
Sounds so good now. Old Fronts were blown badly.
Also found suspension knock that's been getting worse and bugging me... FNS ball joint...totally dead
not sure it likes a ton of torque steer, wide wide tyres and brutal acceleration. 
Chasing boost issues.....
(also found a spare gear gaitor from the old GTd which is nice as the lemons one was destroyed. )
Need nice solution to gauge pods and sort RCL...plus get the AC working and I can feel the love coming...

Funny enough I am considering that... Having it like where the Focus ST does...always liked that

also my longer term plan.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 28-05-2018
After much fiddling...found a neat way of fitting a stop screw for the VNT mech. With this and some alterations to the bonnet... Found some more movement and control
More boost to come...

Hi Piggy...pleased to see it lives, did you angle tighten the cylinder head bolts? what head gasket...mls or fibre? what brand do you recommend
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Mighty306 - 29-05-2018
Hi Piggy. I may have got the timeline confused but was the 3rd rebuild in response to the overheating issues? What did you decide was the main cause in the end?
You must know your way around that engine with your eyes shut now!!

Check the video sequence if you really keen... ARPs use torque settings
Does anyone use a fibre HG these days!?

It was due to the second catastrophic valve spring failure.
Cause: crap design then crap material used

Must have been because you looked at a wheel with no wheel bolts.

Nothing serious I hope.
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 13-06-2018
I THINK bitron/brown relay.
Coughed and all cut out for a split second. Then 1/4mile later... Just cut out. Wouldn't restart. No LP. Relay buzzing its head off.
Away now till weekend so can't investigate further
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 15-06-2018
Fixed with replacement relay.
Used to keep these relays in stock back in the day
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Mighty306 - 15-06-2018
Happy Days!
RE: Project 16v #theLEMOAN - Piggy - 28-06-2018
Wasn't fix. Turns out it lost an earth somewhere... Much loom digging later... Still no joy. So temporary earth to the ecu case is keeping it going....new loom one day I think, maybe with a new shell...
In other news;
New brakes.
New bigher master cylinder...because, new brakes

How did you mount the calipers!?
What disc did you use?
