if an intercooler pipe has come off the car will not run as the car will suck air through the gap/hole and not through the Air flow meter (AFM) so the ecu wont add any fuel.

On a turbo 2, all the pipes going from the airbox - AFM - Turbo inlet - turbo outlet - i/c- throttle body need to be completely air tight other wise the AFM is not measuring all the air going into the engine and will run lumpy if its a small hole but may also run lean.

FD\'s dont run an AFM and if you use an aftermarket ecu you can bin the afm,

Does look nice to me to be honest , Ben said that it was not as nice as the pics , would like to see it for myself but bit far to travel

TiddlesRX7 · January 08, 2008, 07:14:11 PM

Yeah I watched that auction to see what it went for. Thought it looked quite clean but pics can lie and so can sellers unfortunately.

Nick The Doctor · January 10, 2008, 06:14:35 PM

Collected the car today , fitted new battery and reconnected the intercooler pipes , wouldnt start at 1st then gave it a tow and she then started , lots of smoke from the rear then cleared after a while , engine sounded ok , but there was no power there at all , dropped it of to me mate and he is fitted new plugs ect try that 1st and see how we go , find out more tmz , lots of history and old mot\'s and tax disc with car but no sign of engine rebuild ect , think i will take the plunge and buy another engine and may be get the one in it rebuilt ported ect ect

pdtaylor18 · January 10, 2008, 08:24:14 PM

Hi nick, well if you are going to spend some money on a rebuild then you dont want to spend much on an engine. perhaps the non rebuilt one will tide you over until you have an engine rebuilt. Its exactly the plan i am going to do as well but i shall keep the rebuilt one of mine so i can accomplish this. The car I had that smoked is more than the turbo so its a strip down on that one.
You can have the engine for Â£300, it will go on ebay next week so you have
1st dibs.

flatout · January 15, 2008, 05:21:16 PM

hay Nick,did you do anymore to the car

grinder · January 15, 2008, 05:24:42 PM

yeah i was thinking that aswell !

becareful of what plugs you put in - you cant throw any old plugs into it

pdtaylor18 · January 15, 2008, 05:43:02 PM

another bump as well as might need to shift the engine within the next few weeks. let me know if you still want it. I shall delay ebay until you are sorted out though Nick.

Thanks again all , i Bought some NGK BUR 9EQP was told to try and get two 7eqp to fit in the top bank but suppliers did not list them , plugs will be fitted today and see how we go from there , car is on the button now and does not smoke at all but still running a little rough ,

Peter did you get a chance to check the engine over as per tel conversation , Thanks

pdtaylor18 · January 16, 2008, 11:07:23 PM

engine seems alright and plenty of compression from the plug holes so it can just wait until you are sorted. Also just put 9\'s in all round. Double check the vaccuum hoses and any electrical connection. If you want any spares to try for the engine then let me know and you can always borrow then to try
ie ECU, HT leads, coils etc.

Nick The Doctor · January 17, 2008, 04:35:08 PM

Fitted new plugs car runs better when cold but gets rough when warmed up , driving the car there is no power does not pull at all , exhaust sounds like its blocked , engine does sound ok though so not sure think i need to get compression checked , can this be done with normal compression tester for conventional engines also checking around for leaks in pipes ect
