its a jap thing :lol:

progress....... this weekend i made a start on making the mounts for the rear seats - i had bought some espace seats a few years back and i was tidying up and basically thought i'd might as well get these fitted to clear some space :D my plan is to have 3 of the espace seats across the back as a middle row behind the front row, then at the back have the rock n roll bed :D that way i can use the van to carry people if needed but if i'm going away in it i can take out the 3 seats and leave them at home and it gives me loads of space to use :idea: genius :mrgreen:

i havent took any pics of the seats - unless i did earlier in the thread when i bought them but these are the mountings i'm making

Image

the idea is they will be inset fully welded to the floor so the top is flush with the ply :D the seats will work as they do in the espace and the level that folds the back legs up will work ok off these mounts too :D

Like that, have been thinking about extra seating, but I rarely have anyone in the back, so was thinking of something removable

well as north weald is approaching again i thought i'd better get a move on :lol:

bought this lot 8)

Image

no time to fit it yet but my new theory is the intake temp is getting too high and the ecu is cutting it :? well i dunno a mate of a mate reckons thats the problem (ive never had the intercooler plumbed in for anyone who's not up to speed on the thread) my thoughts were get this lot plumbed in then see how it goes if its the problem then great - if not rolling road, but i wouldnt take it to a rolling road without this lot on so might as well fit it - no brainer really!

i can see why everyone goes the intercooler over charge cooler route - i could have had a shop full of intercoolers for the cost of the charge cooler :lol:

well i managed to get it all mounted and plumbed in today :D but the header tank was basically a single line tee off the return line so it was a pain to bleed the air out - i've decided to modify it so i have the feed to the pump coming from the bottom of the header tank and the hot water out of the charge cooler going into the top of the header tank!

hopefully that way it will bleed the air out easily and also the water in the header tank will become part of the cooling water. I was a few fittings short so i've ordered those so it should be done soon - just got to try it then :mrgreen:

well they'll all be fitted for north weald - whether or not it was the problem is a complete guess - if it was then i'll be racing if not then i doubt it.

what they do is basically cool the air from the turbo going into the engine - but rather than using a traditional air cooled intercooler its a water cooled charge cooler - supposedly more efficient 8) (although there is heated debate on the advantages or disadvantages) :D

Fitted it all today got the pump running - bled the air out and took it for a spin to try................... but unfortunatly it's too wet to get the power down - i can't floor it without spinning the wheels up :x ive got an app for my phone that gives a rough idea of the 1/4 mile my plan was to use that to see if it was anywhere near where it should be, then get a pukka time at weald.

seems odd that i think it's not fast enough yet it's too fast in the wet, but i think half the problem is the tyres but when i was doing the poor times at weald i wasnt getting any wheelspin - obviously it was dry tho :D

managed a 17.51@81.99mph

my 60' time came out at 4.5@11.05 and the 0-60 was 10.7sec

how accurate that was i dont know :? it does seem to still have a dead spot where it stops accelerating and just makes loads of noise :roll:

still not sure what the problem is - it's a shame north welad is this weekend - i think i'll get it on the rolling road after weald - still can't decide whether to run it or not :?

haha - takes a lot more than that to piss me off :lol:

just been doing a bit more research :| - i think i'll try to fit an air/fuel ratio gauge tomorrow - i'm a little concerned the fueling might be out as i have had to swap this turbo over so that might be my problem. at least if i fit the gauge it'll give me peace of mind its not doing any damage :idea: :D
