finally got the car started again today! just need to tweak it so it can be driven to the rolling road and then i can see what sort of power it will make.

Thats a really neat installation. good job!

MAP sensor megajolt ordered, just need to put a hose barb on the inlet for the map sensor. got the day off work monday so i am taking the pulley to an engineering company to have it modified for the trigger wheel. its slowly getting there, really gunning to get it done, because sod's law, as soon as...

the supercharger is now mounted its an eaton m45 from a bmw mini.

still a fair bit of work to do, but hopefully only a couple of weeks.
cheers

well with all the rain we have been getting lately i havent had much chance to drive the mini. so i decided that while its just sitting there i may as well make it quicker! i have ordered a supercharger kit, which should arrive next week, and i need to swap from tps to map sensing on the megajolt. s...

i was getting ready for major problems, i am glad it was something simple, its always nice when its an easy fix!

fixed it!
compression test showed no problems, all cylinders nice and even.
the crank trigger wheel had rotated slightly, i had to pull the bloody radiator to fix it but its on again nice and tight.
turned it over and it roared back to life!
cheers

next stop rolling road!

hi everone, went out for a drive last night, i have been tweaking the base map to try and get in the ball park ready for a rolling road session, i had been experiencing some backfiring and bogging down at high rpm in 3rd and 4th gear, and some tweaking was improving matters, however on my way home i...

yeah it was part no: 192148 3 pole female housing, and you need the female terminals and seals.
i crimped the terminals
cheers
Dan

that looks fantastic! really subtle, i bet it shifts well with all that power in such a small package!

i will confirm in a bit, but i am 99% sure i got the plugs from a company vehicle wiring products, they were not that cheap but if you want to do a good job then you have to pay i guess
i will confirm website and contact details when i find the brochure.
cheers

mot day today! lets hope it gets through ok...

very nice car you have there, nice install too. interesting seeing the vr sensor looking accross the teeth like that.
Dan

i had this problem with mine, lots of turning over, little pops from the exhaust occasionally. it was the vr wired backwards.

i was inspired after seeing the shift lights available in the store, so i found a similar one locally and set about fitting it up. it has green and 6 red leds, in a plastic case roughly 1 inch across. i wired both red and green sets to the shift light output on the molex connector. they are very bri...
