Tom bombing :)
awsome keith :thumb:
Looks stunning mate
Fearless strut brace will defo set it off :)
Looking forward to seeing this car start for the first time. If Dan the gay would sell me his car i would build something identical.
Won't start - Please read and see if you know whats up - http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthr...088#post907088
Replied dude, same symptoms as mine. Though mine was down to sliced wire from an alarm on the donor car.
Is the EML or ECU light on the dash wired in?
You sorted for a Crank Sensor then?
ECU light is wired in and come's on with the ignition.Quote:

So today with my hubs sorted, I put it back on its feet and took it out of the garage and hosed it down/dryed it off. Before though I took some pictures (you cant notice the dust in the photos) - Photos will help cheer me up until I get it running.
Ignore the water pipe coming off the turbo, I'm going to change its route during the week.

I'm going to try a few more things during the week to try and get it running:
- Replace Crank Sensor
- Try a different fuel pump relay
- Try my ECU out in a friends cavalier turbo (if it works then thats it ruled out)
If all that fails, i'll get another loom and try that. If the new loom works then i'll fit it, and lengthen the wires to tidy it up - I really hope it's not my loom though.
Keith
thats just to clean
Looks absolutely minted mate
Will be awsome once it fires up :)
Really does look awesome Keith, loving the colour out in the light :cool:
Cheers Adam, Its a bloody nightmare choosing a colour, sometimes I wish I chose an original Nova Colour, but I think the Audi colour looks fantastic in the light. :thumb:Quote:

great build.
that looks incredibly clean, looks like it has just rolled out the factory and the 20let is a standard issue nova engine lol doesn't look out of place at all, well done, hats off to you, keep going at it and hope you get it sorted soon

Well guys, sorted the problem, it turn's out that it was the crank sensor after all. Andy Bishop kindly posted me a new one today.
It's only running on two cylinders, but after some investigation and swapping the order of injectors etc, it turns out two injectors arn't fireing any fuel in. So i'm going to upgrade to Saab red's or new VXR injectors ready for when I eventually go to phase 2.
Again, huge thanks to Andy Bishop and Jonlem who i've been tortureing on the phone these past few weeks, they've been a great help.
Off to billing tomorrow morning (big trip ahead) update and video when i'm home with new injectors.
Keith
glad to hear you got it sorted keith, sometimes it feels like your never gonna get to the bottom of these problems :thumb:
Good to hear its running now, i was 99% sure it would be the crank sensor, not much else can stop both a spark and fuel.
Hmm, strange about the injectors, are they not brand new from vaux? Or was it just a bare engine you bought?
So do the two non firing injectors fire when you swap there positions?
VXR injectors are pretty big for ph2, means you usually need run a low fuel pressure.
Engine thats come's is just the short motor, my injectors are standard and havent fired for 3 years, so are probably no good. If i swap them on the loom they still dont fire, so it's definatly the injectors.Quote:

Keith
Glad to hear that its running, if your gonna run VXR or SAAB reds then your gonna need an adjustable fuel reg.
When you hoping to have it on the road ??
Fairly soon mate, I'm just waiting on my interior retrim. Bleed the brakes, sort the handbrake (its not holding) and just small silly things like pipeing to the washer jets, adjusting things/spanner check.Quote:

I'd just stick with the Yellows (just get a set clean / tested), then its just a 3.5bar reg.Quote:

Take it you've got a brand new fuel pump ? Phase 2 was designed to be run on std Yellows with a 3.5bar reg, mine ran absolutly fine with that set up ... well, untill it melted !! lol
Regal sell a 4 bar reg with Phase 2 though. Maybe i'm wrong, or maybe thats why you ran lean and melted?
Edit - It's a 3.5 bar reg, my bad :(
Keith
Nah, definatly runs a 3.5 bar reg on P2, i got the P2 set up off a mate (who got it from Regal) his ran fine for a couple of year, mine ran spot on for 18 month, fueling was always bang on when it was on the rollers.
My prob was just down to a high milage / worn bottom end, checked pump and injectors and there both fine.
Edit: Just seen your edit ... Need to type faster !!
Was not driven easy either was it lolQuote:

^ apsolute genius m8, ive never understood what all these sensors do, but im starting to understand now, i guess the crank sensor is mainly there for safety, in contact with his cyborg buddy the ecu that has his hand on the trigger to cut the spark and fuel if **** hits the fan
I know quite a few people using the light blues on phase 2, injectors from the coilpack xe, supposedly an intermediate of the yellows and saab reds.
XE creams 0 280 150 744 214cc/min@2.5 bar
XE blues 0 280 150 427 241cc/min@3.0 bar
LET yellows 0 280 150 420 304cc/min@3.0 bar
Bosch reds 0 280 150 431 359cc/min@3.0 bar
LEt yellows with a higher fuel pressure are what most people use for ph2 :thumb:
i have a nice cleaned set of bosch yellows here, and a set of xe blues if your interested...
Keith, just go with a cleaned set of yellows.
Do NOT use the EDS modified regulator though, fit a 2wd cossy one and get it setup on a wideband
