Just need more time and money. | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | Head gasket time! water system was pressurizing so removed the head. l sent it away for a light skim as the head had very slight indentation on the exhaust side of the head. Got it back today, gave everything a good clean up.   i strip down all the hydraulic lifters and cleaned out all the old oil, very boring job that was  Then put it all back together ready to go on tommorrow.  | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | lnspired by QED's remote thermostat which goes in the top hose, i decided to ditch the more complex PRT set up and modify a early k series thermostat housing to do the job. pick of QED's http://qedmotorsport.co.uk/qed-shop/rover-k-series/misc/qed-remote-thermostat-housing Firstly i cut short the old heater feed and welded it up, then fitted a suitable nipple for the bleed off pipe which will return to the header tank.

 Metro Mad Posts: 7653 Location: Tamworth, Staffs | Not bad, abit different too Would recommend that you remove the inner rib of the top section of the outlet that would normal retain the o-ring seal and maybe taper the outer rib other wise the coolant hose wont get a good seal when clamped on. | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | Headgasket all done and running as it should be Also fitted a 2 1/2" turbo back exhaust system and has given it much more torque and better pull right up to the limitor. l bought the exhaust off my cousin who is going down a different route of exhaust now. Only picture of my exhaust is on his car, which he is currently giving the floor a revamp.  | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | l had problems with my fuel regulator not holding consistant pressure, so bought a new adjustable one similar to Muzza's which fits in the standard turbo fuel rail with a little modding. This morning l went to BD enginering to have the fueling set up and had a few power runs. Results were 206 bhp (taken upto the limitor) and 195 lbft of torque. His printer is broken so i will have to wait till next week for a print out and will post it up  Edited by R100_vvc 28/4/2012 11:36 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | Cheers people,l couldnt recommend the conversion enough, the bloke at the rolling road was really impressed with its perfomance. He was telling me how most turbo engined cars bhp drops off well before the limitor and said how well the K turbo keeps on pulling right to the limitor. l still want to get an uprated boost solenoid as i could see in the graph on the screen a dip around 3500rpm where the boost spikes and the ecu over compensates (due to slow acting standard solenoid) cutting the boost back down. Other then that she is perfect and certainly feels like a 200+ bhp metro to drive Edited by R100_vvc 28/4/2012 6:07 PM | ||
