Right, sorry, I didn't realise the wastegate on a UK kept the boost so low. I thought it just kept it safe (18psi). Thanks for correcting me.........
-
AJI, it just seems that you're not making that much boost if you're not even hitting fuel cut (without a defender). Maybe that's how you want it though.
-
AJI, have you got a boost guage ? You should hit fuel cut at about 14 psi, I belive.
-
Fair play
-
Yeah, what the deal with that ? I've seen quite a few american supes with no filters at all ! Are they just too damn rich to care ?!?
-
Cheers Paul Must be nice !
-
Sorry for the off-topic, but, Paul, I remember you saying the Supes for special occasions, so I wonder, what is your daily driver ? And has the Supe become less street driving friendly now it's such a beast ? Or is it just thirsty as fcuk ?!? Cheers, G

Good news. Glad to hear it
-
I really don't know whether to spend 100 squid on some super plugs, or put the money towards my coil packs. I'm only running 1 bar so am I putting off the inevitable ? I guess the plugs have to be worth a go........

I believe Chris Wilson (on this site) is the man for uprated brake pads.
-
Cheers Chris, You answered my question before I even posted it !
-
Oh well, beaten by someone who knows what they're talking about ! It still may be of help, I guess............ 18 thou eh ? I'll have to try that little extra bit.......... What is this worse that you speak of ?
-
No techi, but I did find this at........ http://www.mkiv.com/faq/faqtt.html 5. the engine misses at high boost. try re-gapping original plugs or new plugs at .026"-.035". start high and work your way down until it stops missing. I have gapped mine all the way down but I still miss when I really go for it. I'm pretty sure it's my coil packs though...........
-
No problem, hope it helps.

Demon Tweeks do what it sounds like you're describing. "Flush fit valve covers" with flat head screwdriver top. They sell the air line adapter for 3.50. I couldn't find it on the net though, only in their catalogue. Give 'em a bell 01978 664468. HTH
-
Oh yeah, doesn't the required offset completely depend on the style of wheel ?
-
I personally think the gold car looks awesome ! Thank god he put a kit on it. And what a kit ! Anyway here is another Supe on 20s.........
-
What about non turbos, same deal ?
-
The door chirp was intermittent for me. I could tell it was an interior noise though, which is why I'm not sure this is any help but anyways............ http://www.mkiv.com/faq/faqtt.html#body3
-
Is the chirp coming from the door ? Apparently quite common and easy fix (I did it).
-
Not meaning to hi-jack, but I wasn't aware that an upgraded fuel pump (on a j-spec) was necessary at 18psi. Oh, and removing that cat will make it louder. And the restrictor rings are 'tuned' to whatever boost you require. Cheers,
-
I read about poor emmisions and fuel consumption but I think I will know if I have a probem with those. But will I mess stuff up (damage the engine) if the gap is too low ? Cheers,
-
I have recently put in the BKR7E and was misfiring at a little over 1 bar. I gapped them down to 0.7mm and that mostly sorted it. It did still miss on me once though. Can I gap slightly lower ? What are the negative effects ? The car is runnig nice and idling smooth. I asked NGK but they didn't really answer and just said fit some BKR7EVX (?), I think platinum tip or something. Cheers,
-
Neeeeeds the kit.
