just had the car power output measured.

measly.

boost is 9Psi
200.6 hp at flywheel
160rwhp @5750rpm?
rev2 turbo.

im going to get a fiesta.

kicker 3.5" coaxials for the rear dropped right in (if i hadnt lost most of the screws!). may need some padding to get a better sound.

farting? can someone explain this...i recently put an apexi kit in a rev2 and its groans under low revs. it sounds like the air is trying to get back out and making a pringles style burp but more hollow.sounds like its coming from the induction kit side, its loud too. really nervous about pushing it!

it nearly was !! I was after a rev2, and they nearly sent me the rev3! a company called JDM berties on e-bay sorted it, very fast delivery and it includes the heat shield and brackets needed! http://stores.ebay.co.uk/JDM-Berties-Performance-Store_AIR-FILTERS-INDUCTION-KITS_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ2QQ...

3S if your out there, i have some shameful images below for perusal! This one is relavent cos i had a cam cover done recently and technichian noticed theses pipes were cracked and half off! he sorted it. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j15/Irate_dilate/Image018-1.jpg these are just with regards pi...

arrr. thats it im booking a dyno!

er.

the wheeze sounds right, like the engine is taking a deep breath through its "teeth". not sure about the dump valve at atmosphere though.

have you lost power? that is the important thing!

I will get on it! thanks for you help James, truely an oracle!

yeah, had a fear you might say that!

check? its in there. so shall i just detach and reattach?

jus briefly...is it in safety mode, and how would i know, i tried resetting the ecu last night but nothing changed. it does spool, there is a whistle!

Yep.

It doesnt sound like uncle joey. the key noise is the pringles tin pop. but deeper. sounds like the induction kit is burping. and the loss of power is a buger. really slow spool up - bit like a normal asspirated power delivery.

right...the only connection to the intake pipe is from a connecting pipe directly behind the AFM bit, this leads to a metal pipe connector/junction ( :oops: ) that eventually leads to the throttle body, but branches off to the BOV and another one somewhere else :lol: could your day get any worse? I ...

i read an earlier thread that mentioned a air pipe running from standard box, but i dont remember there being anything. the only connection i remember was the multiplug connector for the AFM. I will have another look in a bit, the last trip was suspicous, theres only so many times i can say i saw s...

Is that james?

I have a black one.

ABV right? any thing on these cars that isnt three letters?

yep. lost from the start but willing to learn.

as far as i know everything engine is standard except exhaust and now induction.

The blow off valve has always been subtle, and i presume OEM.

As i am a cheeky Bstd i am at work not working so i can only check at lunch!

ok sorry for the silly questions, but i am getting confused between BOV and recirc valves. i read an earlier thread that mentioned a air pipe running from standard box, but i dont remember there being anything. The standard BOV was working fine with standard airbox, i have heard bad stories about up...

still happening, kind of like a dog sneezing, or like a 8ft pringle tube being opened. but quieter. or a clown being shot from a canon in an indoor swimming pool. you know?!

Yep, its got to happen...I think it will be a while, i want to vac form a panel for three gauges that will push fit into the 'remaining slot' under the stereo. i can get the passenger to read out the values, keeps them out of mischief!

Sounds like a good idea! need a gauge first though, just dont want it to look all chavish with glowing LEDs flashing and bolt on dials under my furry dice. quite like the three in a row under the radio style. hard to keep an eye on it down there? may have to fashion one myself with balloons and pape...
