Bluestreak WIP

Re: Bluestreaks ride

Finally got some time off to start work on the motor. I've degreased and washed the new manifolds and given them a coat of grey primer. So hopefully doing top coats tommorow. Will post pics when finished.

 

Re: Bluestreaks ride

Ok guys I have started to remove my t-vis to replace with my new manifolds. I have realised that the only way to get to the nuts for the manifold is to go in from underneath!!! can anyone tell me that if I support the lower wishbones with axle stands can I remove this cross member to gain access to the nuts or will my car collapse without it?????

 

Re: Bluestreaks ride

Thanx for the advice Stig.
Any thoughts on getting injectors cleaned ultrasonicly. Found a company that does it for £11.50 each. was wondering if its worth doing while I have them off??

Thanx guys I thought it sounded like a good price. This is what I get for the service

Check that all the injectors share the same part number.
Check that each injector has the same coil resistance.
Injectors mounted on the flow bench and a leak test performed.
30 seconds at up to 5 bar pressure with the injectors closed.
Flow rate testing at either 2 or 3 bar pressure. 50% duty cycle for 30 seconds.
Check spray patterns in a static (wide open) mode.
Check spray patterns in dynamic (pulsed) mode at a set open duration and speed.
Injectors are placed into the into the ultra-sonic cleaning tank for a minimum of
30 minutes. During this time the injectors are also electrically pulsed.
