Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

AR HAR! i have found my topic! and i actually need help.

The uno has gone and enzo is my last hope...

Took it for mot on sunday and it sailed through, except for... emissions which it failed miserably on!
Do have the figures for that but not on me at the moment. I'm going to try a new cold start sensor. But if anyone can help i need a pic of how the fuel pressure regulator should be plumbed in because i have a feeling that is wrong.
:worship:

Thanks mate, think mine is plumbed in right then just not giving nice readings to the mot ppl lol!:bang:

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

well you can down it down a little for the MOT, should be ok as long as you don't go to far.. and take it easy obviously

Is the lower radiator pipe ok? It looks kinked, the blue silicone one. Top car by the way, the white wheels are great and i like the bonnet scoop

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

There isn't much space down there but all the water flows ok.
and thank you, it always was/is my pride and joy.

Does Enzo have a CAT?

 

[Alex22]

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

Duh! course he has! its called felix

no in all seriousness, yes it has the cat fitted. didnt think bore size would affect emissions. a cat is a cat surely?? and even if i'd had the decat fitted i dnt think the emissions would have been over by as much as they were.
its a fiat std cat too.

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

Was just thinking it might be a bit fubar'd inside affecting the emissions somehow, i couldn't really tell you how they work so not sure, just a thought.
I have a gas analyser so i can fiddle with stuff until i have a nice fumes for an MOT.

EDIT: My old cinq turbo had high emissions which i never got the bottom of.. i had gone through most things but never looked at the CAT which had don nigh on 100k miles.

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

I spose it could be the cat as the only proof i had it works is that Ghostwkds old cinq passed with it fitted but i used to run the exhaust system de-cat and engine popped before the MOT was re-due.
that means i'll have to find a cat from somewhere and then have it welded so it'll fit in this wider bore system.... headache.

this could be an expensive mot, just paid £60 for a friggen sensor

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

would it not be cheaper to whack an normal exhaust back on just for MOT, get one from scrappy for pennies, then just throw it away after or sell it? just an idea..

 

[Alex22]

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

Still gotta make it all fit somehow tho

 

[blu73]

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

to true, not gonna be easy. Guess it might be worth at least dropping it off and seeing if there is an obvious blockage..

 

[Alex22]

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

My foot will be blocking it if it fails again lol
Will see how the re-test goes with the new sensor fitted and go from there.

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

Try a hairdryer on the cat to see if it's blocked..

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

poor tiddles

 

[Alex22]

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

right so CO level i think it was, read 9.99 on the test which is as high as their machine could read so it was prolly worse than that. But after replacing some split vacume hose it was down at 0.7 this is still no use tho as its supposed to be 0.5 or so.
would a blocked cat read as low as 0.7?
this car is doing my head in. its only on a std ecu so there can only be so many reasons why its dumping so much fuel through.
The MF2 is not injecting unless the car is on boost which it doesn't do at idle or fast idle when the car is tested.
kind of at a bit of a loss.
i'm tempted to change the cat as a precaution but that means taking a spare one somewhere to be welded and then have it fitted to my system whihc is no where near std.

all in all.... Fail lol

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

It's possible, how long has the car been sitting for?

If you haven't already it might just need a good run in.

Thanks
