Sweet, might just have to bite the bullet and do it properly at some point soon. What's your thought on removing the throttle body from the system altogether? Have been told by a couple of Surf owners that it's only there for the EGR so it might as well be deleted at the same time, was thinking of just removing the butterflys and shaft then capping the holes to keep the boost in. Both upper and lower radiators are only about 2 years old so hopefully won't need to be flushed out though.
-
@johnnyfive that actually makes a lot of sense, there is a few vacuum actuators etc on the intake and throttle body etc, will take some pics in the morning. I've been meaning to try out running a can of diesel intake/egr cleaner through it for a while, would pull the intake but I can't afford to have the van off the road long.

What's the go with replacing injectors, worth getting a refurbished (and slightly improved apparently) set over cheap new ones? There's a place in Kiapoi that do "upgraded refurbished injectors" for what seems like a decent price. Sitting at the lights the other day I got the familiar rough idle back, but instead of a bit of excessive black smoke it was accompanied by extreme amounts of white smoke and a strong raw diesel smell, any touch on the throttle stopped it and after a few minutes on the motorway it stopped again. Thinking I've got a sticky/dirty injector (s). 1kzte, not using coolant, runs well most of the time, fuel consumption has been getting worse recently.

Mine came with a vent hose already fitted, my frame is fairly open behind the engine so it just threaded down around the swingarm mount.
-
Man that looks like it was so much easier to fit in there than a Chaly! Do a wheelie!

Soooo keen, really don't think I can make it though

Hey don't bad talk the Race Diesel old man!

2 Trailer Loads of Death... Mostly Gyro X build thread
Raizer replied to Raizer's topic in Other Projects
So this was sitting forgotten about for months, but 4:30 yesterday I randomly thought stuff it lets pull it out and go to @64vauxhall's open day. Plan was to just pull it out, swap a charged battery in and load it in the van and have an early night. Well as fate would have it the one seal VG couldn't supply when I built the engine had let most of a litre of 2t oil fill the crankcase, in the process of attempting to clear it I managed to both strip the kick start and absolutely fry the starter motor... Luckily I had a spare, but it killed any chance of an early night! Found a friend to park up with

Chain seems to have grown a fair bit longer and the whole scooter wants to try and twist around to the left when starting to move. Think I might need a beefier swing arm haha Fuck. Lol.

I'm not sure on time exactly, but meat at Mercury Plaza. Guess it'll depend on how long it takes people to suit up after work etc? /Thomas's star bucks stop etc -
Sweet, 95mm overange Dio spec should be a mint upgrade. Just got to work out bushing and travel.
-
Kmp/h Had it to 94 the other day with the lean 165mj, reckon it'll do 100+ with enough fuel. It's fucking dodgy as over 70 though, rusted out wobbly front rim isn't doing it any favours lol. /Will easily do 100+ with a 16t front sprocket. Swapped in a 170mj and 17.5 pilot earlier and it's running a lot nicer. Keep meaning to send you pics of the old carb if you still want it.
-
Was meaning to ask you in messenger if you could measure your variatior, I've got a suspicion Honda may have used a variatior from a Lead or other bigger scoot in the Beat
-
Miss turned out to be a crappy loose fitting terminal on the coil earth, almost does hunnitz now! 165mj is a bit lean still (lol OOR said it'd be golden with a 140 and Mikuni said 155 max) Got a 170 to try, otherwise I'll order in 175 etc. The combo of a big cam engine with big carb jet + 2l petrol tank sucks!!!
-
Should be able to get away with either turning the Beat one down or having a new one made. Only thing to watch is that you don't end up with too much travel.
-
Set the tappets, chucked a new plug in and took it for a ride today. 165mj is pretty much spot on at WOT, has gained so much power right through the rev range with this top end, have to lean hard forward to keep the front down in second lol But after maybe 10 minutes running around it started developing a rather annoying misfire through the mid range FFS.
-
Took it for a ride, 155 main jet, 20 pilot, shit it hauls! Wheelies so damn easily it's a handful! Cracked the head pipe, that put an end to the ride. Running a bit lean up top with the 155 in it though, can hear and feel it's happier at 3/4 throttle than WOT. Chucked a 165mj in, should be pretty much spot on I'm thinking, will find out tomorrow.
-
I'm running a 24mm on my 70+cc Gyro, it's about perfect sized for the engine. 12mm would have been such a restriction! Engine out, again. If I wound the idle hard in the carb wiggled into place, bit of hacking-I mean shaping- of the inner skin + grinding the adjustment screw right down small gave just enough clearance, 1 hole through the outer skin to let a screw driver through to adjust and it's done! SO MUCH COMPRESSION!!! I want to index the cam side cover so the "CDI" writing is level, there's a little tab that sits it where it is and this on the inside Can't see much reason I can't just put it on level?
-
Yeah man, I'd be thinking 28mm should be a decent size for it tbh. 19mm is way too small imo
-
Yeah mate the VM26 can be set up for 2t easy, Mikuni sell 2t emulsion tubes for them. Another option for less $$ is the 24mm PWK I've got sitting here waiting for a good home, you've got a lathe so it can easily become any size up to 28mm...
-
So yeah I'm bored with it already. Hopefully this lot may help relieve the boredom Ported big valve high comp head with added squish band etc, balanced high comp piston with enlarged valve cut outs to suit the head. "easy start" CDI with switch-able adjustable rev limiter and a genuine Mikuni VM26 carb with adapter to suit my manifold.

Fenix R31 radiator is what I'd planned to run in it, from memory it looked like a bolt in.
-
MK3 Cortina has rear bowl sump too, won't fit in an Escort either.
