just had a chance to read this

firstly sorry i never text you in the time becks and i were in cardiff, all the freezing cold, wetness in the welsh valleys kinda drained us both

secondly... fook me! sorry to hear about the car and your face and coat and arm, least your ok and the car will fight on

hopefully you can suss the issue of why she's not running right, if you need anything drop me a pm

cheers for the comments guys

we are both ok.lol

ii managed to upload for photos from my phone but them my credit went so i will get the rest of them up tomorrow morning with more interesting pics.lol

Ive given up working out that pinking problem now, well after that near 27bhp power gain i really didn't want to drop back down and to be honest it made me start to loose interest so the only way to fix this is to make it bigger and better

So we've spent abit of money on her (its her xmas pressies from me ) purchasing new stuff to build her back up! including a 4-2-1, complete wiring loom (now fitted) lots and lots of 52mm i/d intake piping. new spark plugs, filters and a new intake manifold, and my plan is to o on a mad one this week. every night i finish work and work on her til about 12 every night...i want her alive and better than ever

i cant wait to get the pics up to show you all...see what you all think

Again tho thank you for all the comments. Also i have uploaded photos of the body as it stands now as its been a while since i shown her.
Here is the engine bay before my little accident...and the jacket i was wearing




THE ENGINE




so until ive finished playing and building then this is the toy im driving around ok its not a ford but its very icey around here and with this being a Quattro its so much fun

another pic of new manifold



Also SHES ALIVE...WITH A TWIST :p

She is running 52mm ITB's on standard management

A LOT of people said it was impossible to do but i had a try to make a quick little air box out of piping, bit of heat wrap and connected it back up to the MAF and it works im so happy with the fact it runs and very very well! it doesn't like to go below 2000rpm at the moment but it doesn't have an idle control valve at the moment. ive fitted my TPS sensor and all the other sensors to the bodies already...i love it

IT BACKFIRES LIKE MAD WHEN COMING DOWN THE GEARS
before anyone says i know i wont get no where near as many gains without after market management but if you think the bodies cost me £60 in total and the rest of the stuff i made...your looking good bhp return for your money! so im happy with it and above 2000rpm it runs perfect not one problem, my air/fuel ratio gauge reads it as optimal and on full throttle slightly rich! ill have photos up by 10am id say the power is similar what is was on the carbs maybe a fraction less but with a lot more noise! im not expecting the same amount of BHP as you would get with after market but if you work it out im getting a lot more BHP for my money.

now i just need to make a pretty looking air box, fit the Idle control valve and away i go

here are the pics as promised, before anyone comments on my little intake system...it is literally...well my prototype and now im 100% it works im going to get my mate who's a welder to build either a stainless one or an ali one for me room is a serious issue tho so ill literally just build a metal one of these and make it all shiny...more tapered towards the fourth cylinder although here are a few of my stupid quick designs to obtain equal air flow as well

TB air box looks good tho for a temp job

Looks good mate

So are you running a standar ECU? as the MAF is still there.

Whats it like compared to a standard set-up?
