I hope chris doesnt mind me answering. They a Williams Speedlines .

Pump looks OK.... whats the normal fix for the bowl emptying?

 

[andybond]

check / increase FPR pressure , larger needle , check fuel filter

 

[ChrisGTT]

As above really but I'm starting at the tank and working forward, I'm still not sure if replacing the pump alone has worked as i have been rather busy.
So pump so far if still no joy I will do to
The fuel pressure regulator (FPR) as mine is not in the best condition. I would also renew and fuel pipe front to back.
Then I will have to remove carb and mess about inside but I'm insure as what to do. I have had it explained to me but I really need to see it myself to k now for sure that i understand.
The old pump I removed used to belong to Jermaine (he gave me it as a job lot of spare) I had to fit that pump as my original packed up. Also he said when he had that pump he was getting the same issues as me. Fingers crossed.


Here's a picture from this summer when a few of us yorkshire boys went for a boost, ended up at squires cafe it was a bit of a chav fest to be fair.

Hello girls and boys,

Well I visited AET turbos yesterday to have a go on there hub dyno and the results are in.
133hp at the wheels I was expecting more due to how fast the car seems although I have never been to any dyno session before with any car.
Heres a graph

 

[andybond]

At the wheels that aint bad for the turbo ! I would be happy with that. Plus it sounds the business.

 

[Adey]

good going, probably 150-160 at the fly and in a wee little car like the 5 thats loads

 

[ChrisGTT]

Update rad moved over to accommodate cossie cooler and oil cooler bolted in correctly also painted caps the match wheels

 

[andybond]

Looking good mate. Soon have that cooler on !

 

[ChrisGTT]

Yes soon mate hopefully this weekend Mr firth has my angle grinder that he should be returning it to me soon. I need it to make some adjustments to the brackets then hopefully I can get that fixed in place then I can start fitting the pipe work that is coming to me on Sunday. Also got my replica grill today from evobits. It will take a few coats of primer and a fair few hours of sanding back but hopefully we will get there !

 

[mattk]

What's the quality like and finish? With originals prices skyrocketing I was thinking of getting one of these, plus they also do them in cf.

 

[ChrisGTT]

Been routing my pipe work for cooler and fitting said cooler I had to make some adjustments I e done the carb side of cooler but I had to pop out for some more sparks for the grinder

 

[ChrisGTT]

I had to make some fine adjustments hence the grinder. The cooler is tie wrapped on so I can still make some adjustment if needs be

GREAT Picture! :i-m_so_happy.gif:

 

[andybond]

Agreed. I bet you didnt get those sparks in a black friday sale !

 

[ChrisGTT]

No mate I had to pay full price for the Sparks !!! I had the last laugh though as I nicked a skyhook.

 

[DaveL485]

Agreed. I bet you didnt get those sparks in a black friday sale !

All I see there is a serious beard fire LOL

 

[ChrisGTT]

ok all built back up and have been out for a road test and all is well. This is very disturbing as when I fit new parts I always have teething issues. Anyway all is good ive ordered a pipe beading tool So I can put the beads on the alloy intercoer pipe work so they don't blow off over time.

 

[Brigsy]

Might be worth fitting all mikalor clamps aswell as swaging the pipes. They have a habit of working loose with engine rock. Even with solid mounds lol
