Starting to agree Peter. She is running better now and the idle is rock solid. I have a suspicion that when you replaced cracked/perished pipes and manifold the vacuum system was altered significantly hence shit running. I am going to continue to mess around this week and see what I can do.
Right, to quell the nagging I had Helga washed and waxed this morning with a little leather treatment. Days like this I heart my Shark :inlove:
Note the new lights, wheel covers and unbutchered center console!

So fucking pissed off I wan't to stab people. After spending R15k having my head redone in the UK, it's now been fucked by cowboy tuners in SA.
Leakdown test revealed that there is an 80% leak through no.6 inlet valve.
Head is now off and you can SEE where the fuckers at the dyno had advanced the timing so much the valves were hitting the pistons.
Head is now at engineering for sorting, hopefully no bent valves, how can people be so stupid??? If the car isn't running right in the first place, why push it as hard as you fucking can to try and 'fix' the issue?!?!!?

Yeah, problem is I don't know who fucked it. Rosslyn place corrected some faults from the first place, but made it run lean according to the third place who tried to advance timing, probably too much.
Just can't find a decent fkn tuner any where. I don't think the Spitronics is complete shit, I just think it's too basic and no one knows how to use the bloody thing. The place in Rosslyn was recommended BY Spitronics themselves.

Looks like monkey number 3 didn't know what he was doing and altered the cam timing resulting in the pistons hitting valves...:bravo:
You advance/retard the timing of the spark, not the camshaft!!! That was the point of fitting the cheap EFI right?
One of your wheels cost more than that "management" system you running there, considering you doing a proper restoration to last for years to come I would consider going back to the better stock management system.

Yeah, was planning to return to stock ECU and go for a piggyback.
I was thinking PerfectPower. There systems are used globally not just our little back-water

1. Random hot/cold/cutouts
2. Wanted more power
3. Was chipped for sea level and was running very rich in JHB, O2 sensor buggered maybe.

Refit the stock ECU, take the car to Ross @ RBTS Racing and have him fit a Dastek UniQ, its way more stable than the perfect power and has local support too. Ross is the only guy I let touch my cars, known him for +15 years and he seriously knows what he is doing. I learn so much with every conversation I have with him.
