G60 set up issues, long read but please stick with me.
gti gadge replied to gti gadge's topic in Engine Bay
Matt, thanks for that buddy. This was the way I'd found that the Lambda had an issue as the mixture went mental after setting and resetting. Fixed the broken signal wire and now stays where it is so presume all is good but will check again. PM me on here with a price posted for that return pipe please Matt, cheers. Lambda wiring fixed but I have no std parts unfortunately. Timing is set at 6 BTDC after taking out and cleaning the seat area up so it would turn! Mixture is close(ish) but co-pot is screwed way back out to nearly 1300ohms. Never had this issue before hence why I thought bad chip match. Had a look today and it seems to be what has been in it for a few years with the previous two owners. Its just a slow PAINFUL process ha..ha.. -

Cheers Matt. Car has no boost return (got wanted ad up and you were going to look in your garage for one ha..) ISV has mini filter on and breather goes straight back into charger. Did with filter off and also breather disconnected but didn't seem to make a fat lot of difference tbh. Let me know what you find re:lambda please mate, cheers -

Thanks for the reply Matt. Its a rado engine in there and the notes I have left from my old rado are that it was 0.7ish but either way I cannot get it down to that. Lambda. My thoughts on this were as follows. You set the mixture with the blue temp off, reconnect and clear ecu then recheck mixture. When I first did this I got it to 1% then did the above and rechecked and the mixture rose steady to 3.4%. I went through the lambda wiring and found the signal wire basically perished. Stripped and redid it and now it keeps the mixture setting as set in the first instance so I have taken this as now being correct and fixed. Need to shoot home and check out chip..............right now..argh. My main thoughts were could it be chip fault or not suited to the injectors perhaps keeping the reds open longer than needed? Also why would the mixture go back up when the idle screw is screwed in past a certain point? -
Morning guys, need help with the set-up on the newest G on the drive. Story is that I px'd it blind (ok so not the brightest start!) and although it ran ok it was rich as hell and tick over was up and down and ended up at 1200 after cleaning and rewiring the ISV. I'm half way through trying (and a I use the word lightly)to get it running right. Spec is recent rebuilt Stage 4/5 charger, 68 pulley, red tops and an alleged chip to suit (see later on), decat and 2.5 zorst. Stuff done so far. ISV cleaned and rewired. co-pot cleaned and resecured (on some oddball custom ball bags thing pipe effort) and was bench set at 500 ohms. Bleed screw was right out so had initially set up the idle early on to get it solid but still mega rich running. Distributor taken out and cleaned so could be moved and set at 6% BTDC. Other bits like fuel pipes replaced and 1m ecu pipe and other vac pipes renewed. Right, the real problems start ha..ha.. Gone to set it up and get the co% set and woah, 8% on idle. After a lot of faffing its down to like 1% with the copot taken right back and tickover 900rpm (go lower and the mixture reading goes back up. HELP! Also found a broken signal wire on the Lambda when doing the test after setting the mixture. I just need thoughts and ideas on where I can go from here tbh. My own thoughts are that the chip is at fault and its maybe not set-up for the red-tops so extra fuel but its supposed to have an SNS chip in it. (going to look later when I get back home to see just what chip is in there, will I be able to tell just from looking?) Ideally I want to get the fueling under control and get the copot setting back down and idle set a touch lower (set at 900 but hunting slightly right now) and mixture should be 0.7% ? Thanks guys

Good to see you back at it Chris, subscribed mate ;) -
Got to say first that fitting a wheel isn't rocket science and I believe even some women have been trained to complete this task unaided (this is just and unconfirmed rumour, it might just be an urban myth!). If your hand and eye co-ordination are that bad then go for it, please just remember the bolt thread pitch and that you cannot just go and buy any old bolt and that it will fit. It needs to be M12 x1.5 where as a standard bolt is M12x1.75 HTH

^^^^^^agree with this^^^^^^^^^^^ but we have ALL been there in way way or another at one time or another. Get your skinny ass to the gym so next time you drive like a tool you will at least be man enough to stand and argue the toss rather than run away like a girl in your car. Ha..ha... you gave me a giggle anyway mate. As for the car, I'm sure it will blow over in a week or so as he will have moved on to a newer you as his target. Best advice, drive better when in such a recognisable car. You have earned my 'Hero of the day award', unfortunately not presented for bravery this time around ;)

Ross, where you at mate? I have two sets I think of the cards your after, free to collect (one set might be windy window though, need to check). Will look out other parts as maybe have then too.
