Aye Might take up for offer one day :D
hi mate did u change the oil pump with the engine in ive got to do mine just wondering what it was like to do in sit-u got the same problem relief valve sticking
Yes mate, engine was in when i changed the pump. The cambelt, bottom pully, sump and oil pick up need to be removed to get at the oil pump. Wasn't as bad as thought it was going to be.
Have you got a oil pressure guage fitted? If not its definatly worth getting.
looks good matey!! dont usually like wide kits and stuff but looks good definately beter without the sterio and all that crap though i hate instals with a pasion weighs to much!! i dont even like having sterios in my car nice panel to blank the hole in tha dash!!!
yeah i have a pressure gauge fitted and a nylon relief valve in the pump it is a new pump (genuine from vauxhall) but it still sticks only when left for weeks though.shame really as the engine has just been dynoed/optimised and verniers have been dialed in .i know u can mark them up but it is'nt as accurate as having it optimised on a dyno
Big news of your Nova m8. I want your boot install to my Cav :)
I'm going to upgrade my topic with new pics soon.
Cheers
Long time no update, Mainly due to me being lazy and not doing much to it over the last few months.
Finally got around to getting it on the rolling road on saturday, wasn't quite sure what to expect figure wise as i knew the actuator was a bit week and its only holding 10 psi at the mo but ended up happy never the less.
It ran 233.4 bhp which isn't bad for a starting figure, will give me something to improve on over the coming months.
The fuel pressure could do with upping a bit as its a bit low, will be looking into an uprated pump and maybe an adjustable fuel pressure reg.
Anywho time for some pic whoring :thumb:
