been a while since i updated this... nothing major to add. New JVC dvd/ipod unit fitted with a nice 12" sub, but nothing crazy just a nice subtle bass to compliment the coax's up front.plan to change the cambelt and fit reverse camera and a few subtle body mods.. until then she rests in tranquility before the savagery of summer hits her!  ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

So a bit of an update on the beast... resurrected on 1st of JULYGave her new oil, filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, 4 new tyres and a cambelt change(much needed) and a spanking new midbox.Decided to give the engine bay a freshen up with some powder coating and polishing... Couldnt source new manifold gasket so it is red for now Although i do need the engine out sometime for a bay respray.  With it all ready inside, i spent hours cleaning it up on the outside which paid off with a electric buffer!   Off for a creative weekend in london.. which to my suprise was another learning curve... So many A roads which lead to tunnels = madness!  So good infact, it is name and shame time! Cant believe how super car esque it sounds on boost... so i may need to tame it down with a bigger back box.. Amongst all that fun came woes... Noticed a burnt smell from the engine bay. Few miles down road it was making a weird scraping sound.. ENGINE OFF! inspection reveals the EVAP sensor loom got caught on the belt causing it to shear through two ribs of it and split the connection. So a quick rewire and all seemed fine till i could get a new belt... So i pootled along and then blip nothing... So i thought the belt had snapped! But upon closer inspection i couldnt see any issues.. More fear now as i wondered if the the fun had caused a compression issue, so started to strip the top off.. Plugs looked slighlty coked but healthy and took off ecu for a inspection of the socketed chip.. took out placed back in.. and it fired momentarily till you blip the throttle and it stalls! RAC on call after an hour of inspecting as much as i could without painfully burning myself!  Good old RAC came within hour to find me rebuilding my engine ... without sounding gay i met the soundest RAC patrol man ever.. Explained the engine conversion in detail, then explained the checks.. he pulled the diagnostics out... and tadaaaaa TPS short circuit! So i took the plug out only to find the AIR filter was chafing away at the wires causing it to break and short on the throttle body! He grabbed his soldering iron, cut away at the rubber and soldered all three wires back on. Fitted, cleared fault and off i went to pelt it with full power again!Came back and he offered to follow me back to my mates from canary wharf then run to wembley at 2am(Euro Car Parts) and get back 6am to fit the new belt. Which to my suprise he did without a sweat! We also went through all the sensors and actuators with the diagnostics The old belt was worn, badly worn and stretched in between ribs, guess is..it shreaded one rib which then wrapped itself round the wires. So please SC boys take your belt off time to time to inspect it thoroughly as it is highly stressed and could cause even more trouble... Will have to change the air filter i think as the collar doesnt have enough depth and with this warm weather the rubber around the connections get very soft causing alot of flex! Next on the lines is a organic clutch and H&S exhaust system! Still waiting on some more carbon bits and bobs, but the big one has to be a new roof But one thing for sure its gonna be used alot more than it has last few months, even if it has no aircon in this blistering sun   ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

Sounds nasty, glad you got it sorted though. Getting the right RAC guy answering your call-out can make all the difference - I was in an old school car once and if it had been a young guy raised on modules and diagnostic testers, we'd have been f*cked.. as it was the guy wasn't so hot on ECUs but he knew his way around a pair of solex carbs and an old pushrod fuel pump like the back of his hand. Out of interest - how many miles would you say you did on the belt? I keep hearing stories of people going through them, I've done about 3000 miles on mine so far.. fingers crossed!  ________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

Nice write up Mabz  I have done about 4k on my belt at the mo with no issues, i will check it this weekend Is it possible they can be overtightened? How often would one normally change it as a precaution? Only ever changed the old one once as it had some sort of hole in it ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

Need to check mine too, the supercharger has done 14k now but not sure how many have been done since it was changed, I've done 4k in it. Maybe Ash can help me out? ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |
