Re: Replacing Cam

I'll get them resurfaced.  I won't need to do ignition timing right?  I just need to align the pulley when I put the belt back on?

Replacing Cam

I'm thinking about replacing the cam in my T1.  Is this fairly dooable for a mechanical noob? I've seen the walkthrough in another thread and I think I understand it (which is a start). Will I just need the VRS gasket kit ($113 from autobarn - cheap?), or a full set ($318 from autobarn???),  or shou...

Re: T2 racing movie

Fader, you still going to Willowbank tonight?

I might head over myself and see what my little T1 can do.  It'll be my first time though, so don't expect too much!

Re: Installed Cooler and BOV

heh... /me looks ashamed..... The most immediate problem was that  the BOV vacuum feed had split.  Ran a lot nicer when fixed :) Pretty sure the scale of the gauge is hundred kpa's ( 100 kpa kpa is 14ish psi is about 1 atmosphere right?) for both boost and vacuum. Vacuum was running at -20 kpa  but ...

Re: Installed Cooler and BOV

It hunts when warm, probably 600-1200 rpms, 1 second going up, and another going down.

I've definately lost a few pounds vacuum since I've had the work done (only noticed today.. doh!)   I'll have a feel around and see if I can find the leak.

Re: Installed Cooler and BOV

hmm i seem to have brought a few of my 'associates' into the forum..... retard boy doesn't own a car, but he does have a high speed internet connection, so i guess he has more time to sit in front of his computer and 'surf'. hondacityeta used to own a WRX, but he sold it.  I don't think he'll be ett...

Installed Cooler and BOV

I've had the intercooler and BOV installed on ol' black betty :) Decided to put the cooler in the wheel arch (no need to cut up the bumper... yet?).  I've also got a new air filter installed and had it repositioned.  Two inch stainless piping throughout.  Custom plenum.  Had to get a softer spring f...

Re: Sold my Black City Turbo I

That's me. Thanks heaps Andy, she's running great. I've upgraded from a city turbo pro t (same year - 83), but the new car is a hell of a lot more fun  :)   I've got my eye out for an Idle Control Valve (the same one that Andy mentioned in the For Sale/Wanted board).  If anybody's got any suggestion...
