Update on sensors - money money.. (6/4/06)


Ok .. bliming sensors
- new plenum gaskets ordered - check
- new O2 sensor ordered - check
- new Turbosmart BOV on way - check

Once these are fitted and throttle adjusted to 100% then we should be getting somewhere - I wonder if the actuator has to be re-set to the mechanical minimum - i.e. 0.65 bar..?

Spoke to Steve - car doesn't run an IAC but is blocked instead with a small pipe to allow some air past the throttles. It idles lumpily but seems to work. He reckons TPS should be fine even if not 100%.

Sent Dunc the Freescan + manual - we can use Freescan to check we have full throttle and a good mix. He's also going to use an LM-1 to double check the lambda. Dunc will hopefully get across the weekend before SIDC to fit the BOV and adjust throttle.. may try to get dad to come across and help me adjust throttle and fit O2 before that, so it's done.

Then I can focus on fuel mix, charge temps and boost.. IF the wiring holds together!!

slow progress..
