Alrighty
its been a while since i have posted any updates
After the Rennzport awesome dyno day
Its been rather chilled with the car.
Decided to start playing around again to fine tweak her to run even more smoother than normal, so went out and did some logs only to find that she has a boost leak, cyl 2 & 4 timing is off and the Turbos are being maxed out at 23psi which is totally off.
Did some digging and said best to replace all the vacuum lines, change the Chargepipe coupler (silicone elbow from Chargepipe to Intercooler)
Whilst doing this we found that the Vacuum Canisters where already jippo'd (The Nipples on the Vacuum Canisters were glued back on and just fell off)
The Vacuum/Boost nipple on the Intake Manifold had same issue.
You can imagine the Anger on my face.....:rage:
Never the less - Who do i go to first - JOHN (Leo Haese)
Ordered 2 New Vacuum Canisters
Went to Volkspares in PTA and Picked up a New Silicone Elbow
The tricky part was the Intake Manifold - did not wana pay a ridiculous amount to have that replaced so went with a DIY with the help of some good mates.
Here are some pix of the Broken issues
New Vacuum Canisters and Vacuum Lines
Pictures of the Intake Manifold DIY
Cleaned out the Damaged Nipple
Created new Slot for New Upgraded Nipple
Fitted new Nipple and sealed off so no leaks may occur
Replaced the Silicone Pipe from Manifold to BOV
Refitted the Intake Manifold
Refitted the Chargepipe along with new Silicone Cuppler (Elbow)
Reassembled the rest of the Engine bay
Started her up and good purrr like before :hammerhead:
Yes yes - i know
The engine bay itself needs some major TLC - but all in good time
Just need to find someone that is willing to do full engine clean from top to bottom for me
* one thing that i did not get around to doing yet was running the new lines
from the Boost solenoids to the Turbos - those were a headache so left them
for now (NEEDS to BE done though )
* also did not get around to doing the Carbon Clean whilst the Intake manifold
was off (NEED to have this done like in yesterday - will hit a DIY at the end
of the month)
While i was on a mission with this
I also received my Stage 2 Fuel-It Bucket-less Low Pressure Fuel Pump from Rennzport.
So pulled out the Stage 1 inline Fuel-IT LPFP and replaced with the Stage 2 Bucket-less LPFP.
New Pump Assembled
With the New stage 2 LPFP - car started first time :smilebounce:
Took her for a spin and all seemed good.
Now just to finish of teh rest of teh Boost Leak testing
* Replace Boost Solenoids Vacuum lines to Turbos
* Need to Check the FMIC connections
* Need to double check the NGK 2 Step Plugs to make sure gap is Correct
Then HOPEFULLY that sorts out any Boost Leaks that may have been Present .....:dunnoanymore:

Nice work on all the above.
What symptoms were you having to realise boost leaks and the Nipples gippo'd?
Doing some proper work there, so the car should be hauling once more,
Whats the difference between the 2 fuel pumps you have, and why the upgrade, or was the one you took out failing?

Hey buddy
Car was iffy on the road, taking long to Spool up, also logs showed that the boost was not consistent.
Stage 1 pump allows you to run Ethanol to a specific %
Stage 2 allows you to run even higher % of ethanol and feeds fuel faster
I always had Stage 2 LPFP - so it was a replacement to get back to what i had
the stage 1 LPFP is still working 200%
I replaced both these i the past when i was pushing the Stock Snail to the max so that the car could handle the concentrates of Eth i was using at the time.

Soooo...its been kak long since i updated this thread
Since the last updates - loads has happened
I seriously got rid of all my MODS AGAIN - :fencelook: with the mind set of selling the car.
BUT - the boss spoke and said just keep it
Eish - so back to the drawing bard Yet again
This time round - car was put back to stock stock that you can smell the OEM Parts.
Had to do some Maintenance on her to make her run smooth in stock form
so replaced the Water pump + Thermo plus had gearbox sump seal sorted out one time.
Replaced the Boost Solenoids and checked all Vacuum lines as well.
Will do a Service soon as well so all is running optimal.
My luck i managed to get hold of my Old TNT Performance Exhaust and Blasted that on the car same time
Spec - Dual 3 with Custom High Flow Back Boxes
Also managed to get an AA FMIC and slammed that on the car.
A while back i purchases a Set of 20" Vossen from a great fellow Fanatic - Mr DIBS and had those fitted to the car.
Had some minor issues with the fitment as my Coilovers locked the Rim - but we managed to get around that with some Spacers :hammerhead: and a slight Rear Fender roll by The Wheel Shop..not entirely happy with the roll as i want it more aggressive - happy with overall work by Shaheen though :thumbs:
Also applied a set of Tyre Lettering to the Set of Rimz
With the Sale of ALL my mods - that included the 1M bumper that i had on the car - so i managed to get the Original MSport Bumper from chap that bought all my mods - but his bumper was black and white - so had to get that colour code to the car - this took a while so ended up driving with Black and white which kinda in a way was alright as it suited the old Vossen i had on the car that were black and white.
Then i have the most amazing Sister in-law - who gifted me with an e92 M3 Carbon Bonnet - supplied by Carbon Sport.
had this fitted and for me looks pretty decent so far....
Only thing that is going through my head is that the stock front bumper does not do any justice to the car - so will be on the lookout for something different soon...or alternately fit the Akrym Front lip that i have
As far as mods go
I have already collected my 3" stainless steel Downpipes and have a number of other mods to collect.
my thinking this far is that i will install everything one time including the bigger turbos when i do buy them, that one time install for everything
but only time will tell.....
Here are some pix of what she looked like and what she looks like now
Back to stock
and What she looks like now
Next on list is to Collect more of the FBO mods to fit later
Perhaps the M4 Bumper install
Def the E92 M3 Electrical Mirrors again
And a Carbon clean
And if i dont change the colour will send it for a Blow over so we can get all back to Showroom spec......:tiptoe:
