All the best with the new set up, think I would have given up by now!!!!

:smile1::smile1::smile1:

yeah i would have too if it was not for otherwise having a ?600 paperweight as a result of trading in my existing turbo for the hybrid!

but when it is all finished i will be happy with close to 180bhp that will do 44mpg at outside lane motorways speeds.

Hell i just done 1000miles in it in 6 days, so even with it poorly it is still being good to me seeing as i only went to the pumps twice after i filled it on Monday, and the car was never below 1\4 tank before i filled it either, last tank was 44.3mpg :)

Just filled my one up, last time was a week before Christmas!!

Costs 133.9 / lt down here, must admit not been out and about as much.

Well fuel pump arrived at 8:45 this morning smelling of diesel\degreaser, so a reconditioned unit rather than new. Not that i care it has a 12month warranty on it :)

Now i just need to sit down with Matt and do some of the sums to get the final system made up properly, hoping not too long now :)

With Securicor escort I hope, hope it all goes well.

right car delivered to matt yesterday and i get his mighty rover25 as a swap.. job for the weekend, replace a fuel pump...

i also just treated the car to a new pierburg MAF, so should get that back before i head up to re-collect the car next week, will prob swap it over at Matt's or maybe at home once i got a feel for it with the new pump on....

I have found a volenteer close(ish) to Matt to help us with the pressure testing on a stock car and with just SDI's (no remap) so that should hopefully be done in a few weeks too.

Then we will finally know what was 'safe' according to MGR and what a 'minor' 30bhp/30lbsft increase creates pressure wise.... the SDi's on their own are also well within safe limits as i am yet to hear of a single car where it hasn't been remapped having any form of coolant issues at all.

starting to finally tick the boxes to solve this with some hope of getting the solution right first time rather than 'a wing and a prayer' and development time/costs

Hope it all goes well, my SDi's are sitting in a box, waiting for a bit warmer weather.

Think I will have to fit another clutch as well, as it didnt like going from 2nd to 5th when I pulled out of that layby the other day.

whoop whoop.. i once more have a lovely purring* car again.. is so much quieter on idle, no more hunting, starts quickly, exhaust is cleaner and much smoother in general.

Oh and the added bonus was that the fuel pump i got was brnad spanking new.. not just cleaned up... so I got a masive bargain :D

One job left - for now - and it is all done and dusted!

*purring relative for a diesel

woooooo fair play to you nice to see she is back on form... wheres the wood??!!!!

Result Pete.

Glad your getting there.
