i love the rocker cover it stays italian flag pipes are all stainless here it is up and running slight boost de-limiter problem though.. anyone got any pictures of wiring theres in, kinda desperate for it think ive wired it in wrong or the defenders a dud.. bit pissed off aswell went to tighten oil cooler up and the uninion just snapped right off the cooler.. mocal will be getting a phone call tomorow saying how unsatisfied i am with the build quality of their coolers and should be able to get a replacement hopefully. heres the pics!
Getting there;
Full Stainless Steel, Straight Through Decat system;
it looks oh so mean(just after test run)
back together properly few niggling bits to do still tho

I love it, and you're right it looks mean
I hope you have uprated the fuel pump on that car and considered fitting a 2nd fuel pressure regulator to give the 2nd injector the correct 3bar it needs, or it will not last long
You think you have fuel cut problem, its more likely you have under fuelling problem if its hesitating and a big rough going on boost.

nah i think its the BDL like you had go on yours aaron, when it comes on boost the injector warning light comes on when it holds back
yeah could be, only reason mine went was because of the car crash, my MF2 went as well at same time, all electrics fried
Still needs to be fitting a bigger fuel pump and fuel reg though to offer a level of protection to the engine.
This is competitive price from a British company and easy to fit http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/Fuel_Cut_Defencers-152.asp

Yep after my last experience i've been saying that to Gaz too think he has a fpr on way but needs to sort a pump
Re the FCD though i think matt who had the engine before couldnt get it running right either so it could be dead anyway... shall see i suppose

i know aaron ive got a punto gt fuel pump on its way and a fpr too. checked that power is going to fcd and it is.. but cant actually check that the fcd is recieving power. mf2 is lighting up red as soon as it sees boost though.. took mf2 apart and theres 3 wires missing that come off of the vacuum pipe that goes into mf2 will post up a picture when i get in.

All I can say is it doesn't look right, all you can do is try a known to work FCD and see if the car behaves different.
Or bite the bullit and buy a new one as that looks fecked.

thats not the FCD though is it its the map sensor for the MF2 isnt it? or have i crossed wires here somewhere?

when the mf2 see's boost it is lighting up red if im not mistaken thats wrong, would it be doing this if the fcd is dud then ?
No MF2 has a green and red light on boost on right hand side of unit, and a series of red lights on left hand side for the rev position.
Ah that's inside MF2, then I have no idea, as all 3 MF2 that i have used have all had there wires through the serial port thingy.
they only MF2 I have sen with extra wires going into it is Jamies, both my car and Emma's car have Bosch 3 bar map sensors behind the fire wall with vacuum hose from T piece from the cars original map sensor.

just to clarify aaron the feed for the rev counter is the blue and red striped wire at the back of the instrument binacle isnt it? going to try adjusting the fcd tomorow as ive been instructed to do.
Great work Gaz - keep going you're nearly there. Well done to all involved.

ps can't understand why the cam cover isn't... well... orange!

right on a plus note oil cooler is on and no leaks after getting it ally welded need to trim pipes a bit more tho(dam you si). but now have a permanent injection light and mf2 has totally stopped working.. im thinking its new fcd and mf2 time so gonna have to skank lifts while get this sorted.
Ah not good mate, can't think why the MF2 is constantly on, is it running the injector? When mine melted in car crash it just constantly flowed fuel.
I managed to get one off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ERL-Water-Inj...ryZ72205QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
can't remember if thereare cheaper but worth looking around http://www.turbobits.co.uk/acatalog/erl_aquamist_mf2_injector_controller.html
