the tiny amount of lube that would normall be injected into the chambers shouldnt make a difference to the tightness of the engine.  

I think you just need to unflood it,  use a blow torch or your gas cooker on the end of the plugs to ensure all the fuel is completely gone.

Turn the engine over with your egi fuse out and dont smoke as you will get clouds of fuel vapour so make sure your HT leads are taped up and away from any earth.

Its an import, they all beep when you first put the key in the ignition.

All turbo 2\'s have clicky solanoids, turn the turbo timer off and get a good battery on it.

the V-mount is dependent on if Matt can fit a 600x300x100 IC in the V mount position, otherwise we may look at Antnicuk\'s "under engine" mounted idea

Yes the 4x1000cc will be a bit of an increase, but necessary in the quest for power, Chris can\'t be the only FC-er with over 500bhp on tap for too long!

Also while at Tim\'s over the weekend, we got talking and came to the conclusion that we didn\'t know of any PP\'d engines around the UK so maybe Tim should consider doing one :Thumbsup! Mine was Tim\'s first Bridgeport, so maybe I should also have Tim\'s first Peripheral Port! :eek Well that is a project for next winter after the 2007 season.:bandit

Geez PP - Mark you want to buy a petrol station and live in mate !:yes :guinness

Can\'t wait to see your beast out and about in Reading.:yes

[grinder]

its all good reading this - must remember not to have a fag in the mouth when i crank the engine .. must remember this !! LOL

the plan now is

1 - remove plug leads
2 - remove plugs
3 - remove EGI fuse and crank engine ( leave fags in house )
4 - dry plugs using the rings on the oven
5 - leave to cool for a while
6 - inject some oil in lower plug holes
7 - put some new fuel in it - it might help ??
8 - rebuild , pray and get someone else to start it so that i can blame them

well the PP is a way off yet, but nice idea! Fuel consumption can\'t be as bad as I was getting with the BP and stock ECU (9mpg on average!):2eek

7 - put some new fuel in it - it might help ??

certainly couldn\'t do any harm

[grinder]

got a gallon to go in - i hope its enough to up the octane rating

its just annoying now - sat at work - where as i should be at home working on the car

once i hear her fire up and run i will be a happy bunny

carls 4 rotor is PP and so is carls 13b first gen that was at RS this year.
They just make the most awful racket.......

and they will make 9mpg seem good.

Hello Stu

It was definitely running 6-7 weeks ago now. It was ticking over fine, When I put my foot down on the accelerator it revved a little then cut out.

I tried to start it again but I think I flooded it.

It is definitely a brand new battery.

If you read on the Turbo timer manual you will be able to press one of the buttons so that you dont need to wait for the countdown to finish.

Im sure it will run.
Ps there was no petrol in it when you left here I had only just put a gallon in. BP Ultimate. Maybe fuel filter is blocked as was taking fuel from bottom of the tank...

Of course, forgot about the 4 rotor!

Haven\'t seen his 1st gen, didn\'t realise it was PP\'d (but would make sense as last time I was over at Carl\'s (end of 2005) he had a pair of PP\'d housings sitting on the shelf and was very secret squirrel about where they were going!

Yes, noise may be an issue for the neighbours :flamed  fuel economy isn\'t the major issue for me, but I want to see what I can get from a 13bT in all variants! Still it is all just a thought at the moment, I need to look into the realities of PPs first to see how viable it is, I do want a car which can be used on the strip and for fast road use.

no juice - hummm so i also have a faulty fuel gauge then !! LOL

the turbo timer - if you cancel it the random clicking stops - so thats not tooo bad

you defo flooded it !! - the plugs are soaked - like i said - got a few things to do yet

just out of interest - when you had it running - did you have all the dash switches connected ?? - its just a thought thats all ??

ta

stu

[abmunro]

Yes I plugged the switches in and closed the door as this was another bleeper that was sounding

[grinder]

cheers tony - its more thing to narrow down

[g.miller]

hi Stu
if you are still strugling with the front plugs, i bought a spark plug socket that had a hex end [on the end where the the half inch drive go\'s into] and used a spanner on this.
this was the only way i could get the bottom front plug out as there was a metal tube in the way stopping me getting the half inch extension bar in straight.
good luck

[grinder]

just about to go out and try again !!

but makes sense what you are talking about !!
