WIP- Past to Present

Wipped the fuel pump diaphram thing off earlier to do the white ring mod, but the white ring is quite tough and the only stanley knife i had wouldnt touch it! lol
So i just put it back together. Is that mod 100% neccessary???


Ive just turned the fuel screw 90deg clockwise, and went for a drive and its now holding a Bar boost from about 2300rpm to about 5k :eek:
And is now much nippier to drive! Especially in 3rd gear.

Thats with the boost controller wound fully out(min boost), tried upping it more but it then wouldnt go above standard 9psi, maybe the safety valve thing in the lower inlet???

So wound the controller back to fully out and its now holding a bar again, so i think i'll settle at that.
Going bin the standard intake pipework/airbox asap, and get a decent IC on there, at the minute if you hold it on full boost for a bit(on motorway etc) the coolant temp starts rising quite quickly lol
Drops straight away if you back off for a bit.

diesels gunna get ya lol

Lol go for it ad! Have combo inlet and gasket, as well as i/c here if needed.

I've heard the white ring mod makes a big difference to the diaphragm

Will have a gander next time im over mate!!!

I will be able bin the white ring thingy if i swap the inlet, as you can remove the pump plunger completely, and then slide the ring off instead of trying cut it whilsts sticking your arm down behind the inlet lol

Sounds like a good excuse for a new inlet!

;)

scrap that old nova and crack on with the new one!

Cant wait to f**k it off tbh! Sick of the sight of it sitting there. I really dont know how people spend years building a car/looking at a shell, id want it done asap.

Hopefully new shell will be sorted and running for Spring action day at Combe in April :)
Thats my deadline, and only having weekends to work on it doesnt help....
At least the nights are getting lighter :cool:

Aye ad im the same, mine still looks like a car but im dieing to have it finished, i think i would kick myself if it was a bare shell for months.
