Popular Post Roman Posted July 22, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2022 Fine by me as I had a pretty good chuckle at them so far. Maaannnn ages ago I bought a graduated cylinder, exactly for the reason of finding out injector cc, deadtime, and so on. But I cant find the bloody thing. Although, all I'm really wanting to do is find out if I've got an injector that is significantly out of whack to the others. It's not that I dont trust BMW parts... So welcome to the most half assed injector testing known to man. Just using ECU to spray them full blast. So they're pretty damn close, considering some people find some aftermarket injectors can be 5-15% out in a set. If I ever find my graduated cylinder I'll do some more testing in a better manner. But this ticks that problem off the list anyway. Basically, I'm looking for excuses not to pull the timing cover off because it sucks. Will try my other set of coilpacks too. Then probably still end up pulling timing cover off and finding it's what I suspected all along. However it's good to know the injectors are fairly even, anyway. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Roman Posted July 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2022 With a splash of bear grylls... Big thanks to @Geophy today for putting up with my shit stories and lending some expertise to get the next part welded up! I've got the back of the muffler jacked nearly right up, and the clearance everywhere is mega. The front will raise up about another 12mm once the 1500cc motor is in, and I might shim the rear engine mount up a little bit. I could probably mount the whole motor and gearbox a little bit further back without too much trouble. Which would then help my intake situation considerably too. But from here I can probably figure out the exhaust hangers and get an idea for how the next section will work. In the morning I'll give it a hoon and I should be able to get a reasonable feel for how rowdy it is without the exhaust noise just blasting out the front. Maybe that'll provide some enthusiasm for checking the cam timing. Exciting! 37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like it could be ignition to me. I had almost exactly these symptoms on the MX5 and the Chariot on the same day. Both run the same style of dual coil setup as eachother and both were solved by clicking the ignition leads down properly. The MX5 in particular was fine until about 1/3 throttle, then it would just fart and crackle on all 4 cylinders and was incredibly slow. Not sure if individual coil packs would act the same, but it's possible? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Oooh I wonder if the coil stalks are the same length on different engines, might be able to extend the spring a little if the spark is having to take a jump to get to the plug. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 I'm using the same coilpacks as before, and this head is the same head as before (just different block under it) I pulled spark plugs and had a look, they were all okay, one had a bit shorter gap than the others. So opened it up a bit and swapped coilpacks out. no difference. Will check cam timing tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Roman Posted July 28, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2022 I received a care package from the @StuScience HQ on loan to help me finish the exhaust: Awesome! So now at the least I can tack the remainder of the exhaust together and keep making some meaningful progress. It also came with a box full of things like gloves, helmet, and some mild steel rods, arc welding stuff which I wasnt expecting. Cool. However, since I'm beyond beginner. I figure I should probably give myself the best fighting chance of being able to do what I need to without peripheral issues. I figure it's probably best to start out with some new parts on the torch and a helmet I can see through decently. So I bought some consumables from bunnings, then figured I'd drop it off in the car before going to the trade desk at Bunnings to get an Argon Bottle. So I come back, and... They're all out. Call the other bunnings, and they're all out. So was blackwoods. So is everywhere in the Waikato it seems! Bummer!!!! So I'm not sure when I'll be able to do anything yet which is annoying because I was looking forward to practicing over the next few nights. I did also order some flanges and exhaust hangers which arent here yet. So although I would have been able to make progress on tacking the pipes together. I still wouldnt be able to finish it yet. I will get there, but feels like slow motion at the moment. Still no new motor yet, as havent got the money yet. Should be next few days. Will get there, just going slow at the moment. Fizz level is 99 for taking it back to the dyno with big block back in, and the good exhaust. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
