SoCal/Taz, I tried today to see if I could actally drive the car forwards and backwards a few feet and see if the gear linkages work. (the P4 has...
Its a one off, but does have some DNA from one of the many kit cars copied from the original Lee Noble version.
Back together. After a bit of fetelling of the thrittle balance here is the result. F355 powered P4 Replica startup - YouTube Be aware the...
OK tiem for an update: Ran leak down on Cyls 5-8 all OK - 2% loss. Removed cam cover to discover something quite unbeliveable. The cam timing...
No the throttle position sensor just gives the ECU a signal to drive the fueling under load. At idle it serves little use other than tell the ECU...
OK here's an update. After the cam timing investigation, the engine ran no better. So I have now completed a leak down test on the bank in...
I rechecked again this morning and realised the belt tensioner design allows the marks to move a lot when you turn the engine backwards and don't...
Checked valve lift with a dial gauge and found the exhaust cam is actually 14 degrees advanced at TDC from its true position. Testimony the marks...
Fail. Got the cam cover off and the timing marks are pretty much lined up - about 3 deg advanced on the exhaust and 2 deg advanced on inlet....
Will do, its supposed to be having a "inaugural fire up" on New years Day, so video/pics are supressed until all my mates have been over.......
Ignition drive means timing is identical on both banks. The engine uses only one TDC sensor, offsets are all done by the ECU. Its using the...
No, the actual combuustion is optimal - lambda 0.9 giving a AFR of around 11.75:1. So not a fuelling issue.
Injectors have been cleaned and spray patterns checked. Cooling system is 100% (whihc considering its entirely bespoke is very comforting) and...
I have an F355 engine and trransmission I am installing in a kit car (a P4 replica). It is running on MBE management instead if the Motronic. It...
I don't have the car in question to hand as it is currently having an exhaust made. Its a kit car with a F355 engine and transaxle. Suffice to...
It didn't up to about 80 deg C. using a temp pyrometer. Need some more gas for the torch so will try again at the weekend.
Its not in a car at present, so that makes running it a bit tricky. I'll try a small amount of heat from a torch instead...
The workshop manual states this is tightened to 25Nm (18 lb/ft) but it will not budge with an 8" long spanner on it. I fear any more force will...
Paul, I was not attacking you, I was making a statement based upon engineering fact. The distance between the hub faces on a Noble P4 or a...
I'm sorry to correct you Paul, but you're also wrong on this point. As an owner of an extensively modified P4 based replica of 0854, I...
