  1. I hope you didn't get oil on the decking .. :)
  2. I can always feel it when I run lean.. Car drags,i.e it feels like someone has attached a caravan to the car.I can see it on my afr guage too though. Its happening to me intermittently when i snap the throttle shut under heavy load. I have to fix that area of my map. What management is it running? Sorry too lazy to read through your thread to find out. :roll: :wink:
  3. I'm enjoying reading about your tussle with this engine. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. Any clues as to what caused the problem?
  4. pin 85 on the fp relay has to be grounded to to turn on the fuel pump. The ecu supplies a short to ground to facilitate this.
  5. does the isv buzz when you turn the ignition on?
  6. You did that ? The quality of the work looks good. The colour scheme is not for me but its not the worst car i have seen on here. Do your thing. I look back on lots of things I have done and smile and shake my head. Dosn't mean I regret doing them though.
  7. it will come in a largish box. you will have to assemble it. Good luck.Let us know how the build goes. Take some pics. :)
  8. I don't think a vr is any more expensive to run than a G60 :scratch: For me its more of a case of I don't have the mental energy to nurse a VR through its old age as I have already done that with my g60 and I'm spent. :)
  9. use my wages mostly. I have done used the plastic every now for "special items" and then but i always pay it of asap and its the exception rather than the rule.
  10. yeah but i choose form other function in this instance. :)
  11. yeah they are ideal for the 16vg60 installs in terms of boost piping. I have one too. I also have an elbow from the original limite g6016v0 which came with it. I got lucky.
  12. i've got a crane.From flea bay.used it to take an audi 80 engine out and i'll use it on my g60 soonish. sits neatly in the corner of my garage. When I don't need it anymore i'll just sell it. It will be cheaper in th longrun that renting. No time constraint etc.
  13. i've seen people run without the throttle body elbow on vortex so it can be done. Not sure what mods or limitations it places on you though tbh..

    JMC's G60

    always nice to see peoples tuning efforts g60 or otherwise. What cam is in your engine mate?
  16. yeah they are built to be revved. Amazing engines. I dislike the cars styling as I do the Seat.
  17. Nope the ISV is buzzing, only place ISV gets a signal from is the ECU therefore the relay must be working ok. good point well presented. :) cool. I take it u can you hear or feel that fp relay click as well ? Just brain storming.. I know you know the car as well as anyone. :) My fuel pump was expensive :( you gonna get one of your generous rado friends to loan you one of their pumps or just take the plunge? My rado just has the single pump which is the same as a VR one.Not sure if yours will be the same as its and earlier G60 isn't it?
  18. Its not the ecu relay is it? the ecu has to ground pin 85 on the fp relay to get the fp to prime/run.
  19. good to meet you too. Always nice to meet another C sufferer. :salute: when I take my engine out I guess it would be a good time to tackle this then so pls bear me in mind if you do have one knocking around. as you do. :)
