Title: My missus WILL kill me!!
Post by: Essex_Andy on 28 October 2006, 21:28:35
Where I bought the new n/s headlamp today they had a set of 3.0 cams for £100..........guess what is sitting next to the 3.0 polished and modded throttle body, new cam cover gaskets and o-rings and camshaft seals?!?!?!?!??!?!!?

Next payday or possibly in the new year I'm going to get a cam belt kit and FSE boost valve. If possible looking for helpers to get this project finished.

Breakfast, lunch (and supper if need be) stellas and JD on me

From the measurements I did today......the 3.0 and 2.5 throttle bodies have the same size butteflys....

It cost me a whopping £30 and I took my little polishing mops to various bits...not too smooth as I believe a bit of turbulence is good. Not sure if I was having my leg pulled but the 3.0 item is a slightly larger bore? ? ?

Reminds me of a foreman fitter where I used to work.
He had a toolkit that was arranged in weights from toffie to sledge and a screwdriver made from a bit of power hacksaw blade ground down and wrapped in insulation tape for a handle.
I was told this guy used to work on Spitfires during the war, "Who for I asked the bloody Luftwaffe?"

FSE valve will be an absolute waste of money, if you are desperate for extra pressure get a standard 3.8 regulator from a saab v6 or a 2.6omega etc, it should be cheaper and straight forward to fit. Personally i wouldn't bother though, there is no much gain.

Andy - I might be able to help ... when's your next payday then?
Title: Re: My missus WILL kill me!!
Post by: Essex_Andy on 29 October 2006, 13:45:59
I've only just started and cant remember...how sad is that!!!!!

I'm bargaining at the end of the month.

I'm away on training until mid december from tomorrow...so I'm planning to to do it after the New Year.
After my night shifts I get 7 'rest days'. Thats probably when...and until I get assigned a shift I'm have no idea when my nights will be?

Not much help really!!! Sorry
