Project rebuild....

[Initial-D]

I hadn\'t touched my F100 box either but something shorted and caused the box to die. If you can put 12v into one of the small plugs in the units top left plug (two wires) then the window works you know its the box. Otherwise I\'d have said the fuse.

Glad to see this running again mate.

When and where you getting it mapped?

[karl_tate]

cheers for that ben

feels good to be back on the road

going to get mark to map it for me, not sure when. how are you getting on??


was power at the fuse but before it never had a fuse and they worked :Hammer

so fuse box out and apart to see where it gets the main feed from and where the fuse for the windows comes out, from the feed out i used the flasher unit for the a/c as i think they are somehow linked and ran a wire to that, simpleesss...


we now have windows properly :rollin









was also getting a bit of scrubbage on the front inner arch and on the rear when going 60 on a bumpy road so out came the brass hammer and a chock of wood and now all sorted.






got to now think about sorting the air ducting for the intercooler/rad setup and then mapping. little oil leak to find as well

[karl_tate]

well not done much lately, bought some new plugs, oil\'s and some sidesteps thanks to ash/kn solutions

havent got any of them done yet but hopefully at the weekend but not sure how im going to mount the side steps yet as i have the OEM mazda skirts as well.


went to a new local show at the weekend and here are a few pics that i have found.

Looking good mate looking good.

Are you going to be running at TOTB?

[karl_tate]

cheers bud, no i was planning to but its not mapped yet and other little bits i want to sort out.

[leeincivic]

Good work karl! Have you had it mapped yet? Think ya should do my loom for the cost of a pint or 2 haha:evillaugh

[karl_tate]

cheers lee. havent really done any work on it even though i should do really, still have to sort the oil leak out, its coming from the sump towards the back

no its not mapped yet either, hope to get it done soon though, have booked a few days off work so hopefully then

i never want to see a loom again :rollin  are you going to tackle it?? does make it all worth while though :yes

[MaLicE]

on fduk there is a group buy on sump braces...

[leeincivic]

not at the minute mate but maybe when i have a spare month haha, scares me even thinking about the amount of wires running into that 1 box haha

top job mate, envious:Giggle

[batman]

looks very nice karl

[karl_tate]

had seen the thread on the braces but didnt really pay much attention to it but i suppose it makes sense :rollin

yeh there are far to many wires in the engine bay but the thing is half of them you dont even need, i will take a picture of the wires that i have left.

cheers alex, body work will be the next little adventure i think.

[karl_tate]

well a little update is due i think.

arranged a mapping session the other week so did a plug and oil change and just basically checked everything over. i also had a tiny air lock in the cooling system so that was also sorted as well.


anyway got to WGT this morning nice and early, pip put one of his basic base maps that he has for my turbo and started again as it was all over the place. i dont really understand mapping quite yet :rollin :Hammer

all was going well until he started to do the first few runs, kept leaning out at the top but no matter how much more fuel he added it didnt make much difference and the boost controller isnt holding very well.

so got a new boost controller to buy, any recommendations??? and also change the fuel filter and im going to buy a new pump while in at it.

its never ending with this car

dyno graphs and a little vid of the initial mapping.

opinions of the graphs as i dont really know to how to analyze them properly either :o

on the plus side pip said it should make good power once the few problems are sorted

[karl_tate]

oopss, just notice one of the graphs are upside down lol




and a quick pic i took with my phone, im no good with camera\'s lol

[Nik da Greek]

Cool pic, looks like a show flyer or something! I think Charlie P has a brand new in box GReddy Profec II boost controller for sale at the mo. Supposed to be very good on rotaries, I had several peeps recommend it when I was looking for one, Including Blitzen. Which is good enough for me
