    LSJ cam sensor onto z22se

    Way neater than what I had in mind(y) So it was a drilled grub screw with a smear of gasket seal around the area? I was thinking of doing that but getting an o ring to seat around the grub screw in the taper for a bit of extra support. The ideal solution for me would be an orfs hydraulic...

    LSJ cam sensor onto z22se

    Thanks for the hex drive Vocky Having spoken to SCS the sequential injection is of very little real world benefit and sequential ignition is only really of benefit to the rev limiter. It would be "cool" to do this mod as I'm finding the challenge interesting, but an additional falure point...

    LSJ cam sensor onto z22se

    Thanks Vocky you are a legend Yeah I was playing around with cut down m12 CSK bolts last night but something in the back of my mind is nagging me I've seen something better. Buggered if I can remember though

    LSJ cam sensor onto z22se

    Do you have any more hex inserts Vocky? (Forget you no know how much its worth to me :D) Depending on depth I was thinking of starting off with an oversized cap head ( metric or imperial) and getting it machined to accept the insert and the thread turned down to m10. The lathe at work is s**te...

    LSJ cam sensor onto z22se

    Ok made a start. Drill guide (made from the end of a Linde 316 sideloader kingpin :)) A lot of swarf :eek: Tapped to M10. (There is blu-tak jammed into areas to trap the swarf) Trouble is the quote that came through from the engineering firm for this custom drive coupling is a lot...

    LSJ cam sensor onto z22se

    That looks great! and thanks for sharing (y) Bet you knew I'd turn up here:) Small bearing puller on the hex drive to remove the internal bit and a brave pill? How thick is the spacer plate? Do you have any more cams you can butcher so I can buy the insert from you? How were you planning to...

    They even look strong! Alloy?

    My vx220 project

    Probably less important for a garage queen like yours :p:) But for me unless I was planning something mental like compound charging with a crap ECU it has to be 4032 all the way. (y)

    Crankshaft pulley runout - acceptable?

    I recently replaced what I thought was a dodgy water pump (a thread for another day...) and in the process noticed a wobble on my crankshaft pulley. Here's a link to the 6MB video http://dl.dropbox.com/u/888559/M4H00470_mpeg2video.mpg (Sorry not sure how you embed these things) I'm sure some...

    Centrifugal S/C

    The LSJ variant of our engine uses a roots type setup, so most of the major parts for the conversion are "off the shelf".

    Remap time but who to use??

    If you go to Courtenay's you'll probably end up with a version of my map :thumbup: ( You're welcome :D )

    Buy my record deck on ebay (please)

    Got an old record collection you want to revive? Want to appear more attractive to women / men? (Hey, maybe both...) Want to make your mates insanely jealous of your good taste? Want to impress your boss at a dinner party and get that promotion you deserve? You could spend £££££ on a self...

    oil temp probe

    Take your pick :thumbup: Although I don't know any if any of them will ship to the UK. http://www.thefind.com/query.php?query=M12x1.75+to+npt The fun and games start when you try and fit pressure & temp using this without it ending up looking like a christmas tree. :D

    Atom X bottom end - yh rods and pistons, knife edged crank, head rebuilt with "a trick or two" (Lee wouldn't divulge what), raised compression ratio to about 12:1, all balanced to much less than 1 gram.

    Down about 8 bhp and 7lb/ft in comparison to Courtenay's rollers, torque curve confirms I probably need a better exhaust to crack 200bhp. Here's the plot: - 1. Blue_2.2 - 173.4 bhp 146.5 lb/ft 2. vocky - 181bhp 288lb/ft 3. pottsey - 141.9 bhp 142.9 lb/ft 4. BURT150 - 155.6bhp 141.7lb/ft 5...

    240BHP Dblias N/A tuned astra coupe

    Wouldn't that sort of RPM have piston velocity up there with F1 on such a long throw engine?
