What did you do today to your 3/S?

[familyMAN]

Was late when I got home after a long day of travel and wasn't thinking clearly. Should've taken box to the garage instead of leaving it in plain sight! At least it's only the clip that's missing and not an injector. Although he did take one out of the ziplock bag. Can't blame him. They do look nice and I couldn't wait to touch them either

Edit: found it. Back in business.

Lower timing cover was in 3 different pieces, the last guy only replaced the belt. Hydraulic tensioner was fully compressed.

Yikes!

Installed FIC2150's, new injector connectors, and tucked the injector wiring.


So far I can't get them to idle as well as the PTE 1000s (which are for sale; set of 6). I'll keep working on it. Haven't tried playing with injector advance yet.

Also installed HKS DLI and opened up the plug gap. That helped the idle some but still not great. Everything is working well in boost. Beat on it for awhile and tweaked the fueling to hit my targets. Raising timing next.

Nice garden hose fuel line. Is that -8 or -10?

[familyMAN]

-8 with wire cover over it so may look a little bigger than normal. Gotta feed the 14Beast!

[sergechronos]

Hmm..PTE1000s you say?

Trying to sell these 880s and hold out for something bigger. Worried that on E85 they'll be nearly tapped out and would require upgrading if I upsize from 14Bs down the road.

That said, selling all these parts to get a Series 2 is priority. Once that's done I'll worry bout injector choice.

[familyMAN]

They were/are good injectors, but just not going to get it done for next year.

Spent 2 days cutting then polishing my car. The spoiler had faded out to white and the rear left qtr faded completely as well. This pic is 2 years old. It got twice as bad between now and then. Forgot to take recent ones.



Went to this.










Then this happened 500kms from my house



which was caused by this...... After 50k kms the bolt holding the timing belt tensioner pulley came loose sending the pulley through the side of the timing cover and the lovely sound of valves hitting the pistons........
