there is still loads i need or want to do but being broke isnt helping.
still need to have it tuned a bit better, am waiting for a reply from xenocron for a wideband so i can tune it. i do plan on tuning with turboedit but i dont have the cash yet to do that

tell me what you guys think of my ride,, opinions are always welcome
thanks

looks good but now post porn...
dont ask why? just read any other intro post and you will get the point...
oh and the uk sucks... :P

Re: boosted uk d
 

looks good but personally i would have boosted the d14 and been a little different.

Re: boosted uk d
 

i still have the d14 in the yard and have been thinking about boosting that. the d14 here comes with dual carbs

Re: boosted uk d
 

I think he went the right route. DOHC 1.6 > SOHC 1.4 hands down.

Nice project and welcome to the site :)

Re: boosted uk d
 

Looks good! Your intercooler is a little overkill but who cares, right? O0

Re: boosted uk d
 

Tail lights arent my favorite but hey the car is tits!

Re: boosted uk d
 

Nice smooth power curve :y

Does your engine have epillepsy?

Re: boosted uk d
 

well since he's in europe are his euro lights still ricer :S

Re: boosted uk d
 

nice set up spend some money on some traction bars and that will take care of that radiator situation and give you more room

Re: boosted uk d
 

nice, sell me your factory corner lenses

Re: boosted uk d
 

cool, but what the hell is up with your i/c inlet/outlet couplers?

Re: boosted uk d
 

RTV silicone man, haven't you heard? That's the hot sheeit right neow.

Re: boosted uk d
 

omg i didnt even notice tat, i hope he has more than that holding it :P

Re: boosted uk d
 

What the ---- is going on with the curve?

Re: boosted uk d
 

I thought that too, I'm assuming they did pulls through every gear? Hence the speed at the bottom?

Re: boosted uk d
 

done this at college when i first put it together, they got an emissions tester that'll moniter afr but was broken so couldnt tune it, thier dyno wasnt best equip, bein a college ::), the rpm pickup was broke so couldnt use that but the test was in 4th gear
so the problem is not having a good tune :o :-X, i know this isnt good, and this is my first go, but i'm learning.
although i am waiting for a cheque to clear so i can buy a wideband from xenocron, then i can give it a better tune and get it back on the rollers

i am planning on going this route, but need to get my ass a job to pay for this stuff.
parts aint cheap over here :'(

i may have a set lying about here somewhere, what year are you? the ones i have are for a 91 hatch

lmao ;D that was before i got the couplers.....with the rubber caps that came on the ic.. ::)

thanks for having me 8)

Re: boosted uk d
 

dude a blow through box for dual carbs on a turbo d14 would be awesome. i know ive seen a couple others from the uk around here with the boosted 1.4 but i havent seen anything from the in a really long time.

You have a clean induction set-up and a mad ghetto valve cover, I think you'll fit in nicley here.

What's with your JDM power curve, it looks like the v-tacky pic that Walter drew. lol

Re: boosted uk d
 

nice car/porn
good ---- noob

Re: boosted uk d
 

Re: boosted uk d

Re: boosted uk d
 

whats your time?

Re: boosted uk d
 

Nice work def get a traction bar but that is a decent little setup :6

Re: boosted uk d
 

is that duct tape on the rear bumper? nice! :y

Re: boosted uk d
 

best time was a 14.3 @102. still had full interior as well as a ---- load of bottles, towing bar and loads of other stuff. still rockin the stock clutch too,that doesnt like to be slipped at all so had to take it easy off the line so i could still drive it home :l, this is on street tyres also

lol yeh, that was on there when i bought the car, its cracked, got another bumper for it, in red, but need some paint to paint it

Re: boosted uk d
 

good ---- man :6 , doesit wheelspin 3rd?

Re: boosted uk d
 

A NSFW Would be nice. my 2 year old nephew was on my lap because he likes looking at cars

Re: boosted uk d (nsfw)
 

done ;)

have my front tyre pressures at about 25psi, it doesnt spin up that much, when the roads are damp i dont have a chance grabbing traction in 3rd, tbh i dont beat on it much cos i need to set the safc, once the wbo2 gets here it will be getting beat

Re: boosted uk d
 

so i got a wideband last week, installed with no probs. got the o-meter too so i can street tune the thing.

my settings from the afc when it was on the dyno.
lo 98, hi 99. hi/lo settings were the same throughout
1-3.5k -40
4k -37
4.5-8k -35
also had fuel pressure at around 42psi. had to adjust tps so it didnt kinda hunt on idle, idle kept dropping down to about 450rpm then up to about 1200

since the wideband got here i have sorted the afc finally. the afr on idle was about 17:1

street tuned afc settings,
lo 10,
1k -32
2k -41
3k -42
4k -42
5k -35
6k -35
7k -35
8k -35
hi 50
1k -44
2k -48
3k -46
4k -38
5k -33
6k -33
7k -31
8k -31

i now have idle afr of 13.6-15:1. set the tps and removed the adjustable fpr in favour of the stock fpr, now idles petty smooth.
at wot i got 11.9:1 afr from about 3k up to about 6k, then the boost creeps >:(
i was having a boost creep problem a little while after i changed the head gasket, so i took out the mbc so i was runnin off wg spring pressure, its a yellow spring, this is 3.6psi right?
so i had about 4psi till about 6k then creeps to around 10-12psi.i changed the feed to the wg from the plenum to the compressor housing. still creeps around 6000rpm. checked the diaphragm in the wg, it looks fine.

gotta see if i can get some dyno time, sure that curve will look a bit a bit less like walters now lol O0
