WIP- Past to Present

Will be picking up a new manifold/system on Sat before the RR day, so that means the rr will be done with my old blowing ashley system still fitted :(
Unless I fit the new stuff in Jamsports carpark and then do the rr run lol

lol i'll bring a spanner

:cool:

Ill give ya a hand Ad, although i'm working now :(

Unlucky Coochi :(

Wont be fitting the exhaust now on the day, just realised that i dont have the correct lambda sensor etc yet for it, as the standard one isn't suitable.
Oh well.

Im off work till a week on friday(using all my holidays up before my contract expires lol), so i have plenty of time to fit it next week :)

I know, might have sorted it now though! And fair play, i could bring one with me :p

Thats alright for some !!!

Right.
Picked up some GSi rear seats on Saturday off Baxter, who collected them off NovaCabrio for me :)

Also on Saturday I collected my new exhaust system and manifold. Its a prototype, custom made at Ashley, to fit a 1400/1600 16v Nova. 2 box, stainless steel 2.25" pipework, 3" slash cut tail, 4-1 manifold with 2.25" flange, i suspect it cost a lot of money originally, but i got it for a great price :) lol
Got it sprayed up today, notice the front pipe join is a slip/clamp join instead of a normal flexi cone type join, which gives a better flow ;)

The tail isn't what i would of chosen, but i cant complain, and it'll do fine.
I'll get the lot fitted this week sometime(but may decide to move the lambda position, as i dont like it just sensing one cylinders exhaust gases, has the potential to cause damage if say an injector failed)

Anyways, back to the rolling road, all went well and i came back very pleased with my results, if anything the rollers may have been a bit on the under reading side, as quite a few engines made below standard power.
Mine made 127bhp, and 111 lb/ft, though the torque peaked at 2900rpm, which was low, but you can see from the graph the peak level pretty much holds out through the rev range, instead of just below low-peak-low
Old graph with a standard inlet fitted(notice torque line)

And a few pics of the car at Jamsport(shame about the TV pics being done when the car was the dirtiest it has ever been, thats what a 130mile through snow and hail down the m1 does lol) Oh well
