cosworth mk6

is it the early smg system ?

[gravelrash2004]

I had a new LPG system fitted to "vanbretta" the systems are good for tootling around town or speeds of upto 70mph on most vehicles... the guy who fitted mine runs his skyline on lpg BUT he advises running on petrol when you want to BOOT-AND-SHOOT or run at speeds over 70mph

loving the van btw

Hi guys sorry for no updates works been manic Have found the clutch was slipping so looked at a solution as its a mix of cosworth and bmw it was looking quite expensive In the end i decided it was best to change the clutch to full bmw (handles 380bhp as standered) so needed to adapt the bmw clutch cover to fit the cosworth flywheel. the bmw uses a duel mass flywheel so the clutch sort of fits in this so needed to add a 8mm ring onto the cosworth flywheel. iI didnt have any 8mm plate ally so had to cast a bit instead then turned this up on the lath. will add pics later.

hi guys works so not got got all the niggles sorted yet have finished the clutch convertion its all bmw now works a treat.for now anyway. now its developed a juddering guest it was the axle felt like diff bearings grinding when jacked up so decided to fit a new one from a mk7 looked about the same and would get a better ratio curently on a 5.1!! found a 3.73 mk7 went to pick it up 4.27 better then what id got plus had discs. got round to fitting it to find the u bolts are different plus bracket that holds them, ordered new handbreak cables straight fit but didnt bank on the prop needing shortening so out with the grinder and welder and dial gauge £500 later all fitted and done drove it out the workshop still judders reprogramed the gearbox ecu, cured .. will try and make north weld but still got a few issuse to sort like fit new gearbox(current one has not liked being run for 1000miles with no oil) make new exhuest to noisy. implement a new set of maps for gearbox ecu for when the oil heats up and wire up the lpg(been runing with a fulty tps sensor runing rich been costing £1 per mile in petrol) and needs a good setting up!! and a new turbo oil seals. but still puts a big smile on my face

well i hope you can make it to north weald i'd love to have a look round this

interesting re. the tps causing a poor mpg fault - our mk6 cossy isnt that good mpg wise i checked the resistances on the tps while we were looking at another fault and they didnt match what we had in the manual for them - but i didnt think they were far enough out to cause our fault

what was wrong with your tps to cause the low mpg fault

[ALI.B]

the tps was working like a on off switch was runing realy bad put one of my spares on all sorted

[ALI.B]

the other thing i need to sort is the abs lights on since changing the axle need to compare the ohms of mk6 and mk7 wheel sensors.
