Re: My 16v build, continued
ok so the flooded dizzy wasn't the problem of the crazy rev counter...
after many double richelieu's and coke zero's, i unplugged the water temp sender for the gauge and voila.... no water temp but rev counter is normal...
hope this helps others in the future

Re: My 16v build, continued
whoops....
the four pin one, but i spoke too soon, the rev counter is still acting crazy, it's running directly off the brown wire which is rpm output on the spits, it's as if it gets spiked....

Re: My 16v build, continued
sorry guys, i feel like a complete twat, there was a couple of posts back something regarding the oil pressure light staying on if the rev counter doesn't work (panic still advised) and i never insulated the wire, which was now earthing against the fan causing the fan to randomly come on and the rev counter to go crazy, fixed it now......

Re: My 16v build, continued
yep "was" running aircon until one of the pipes broke, but it was really easy, the aircon pump was way down at the bottom below the alternator when it was originally a 1.4, so i just used the same bracket and made a mount for the alternator on top of itVw 8v kid wrote:Sorry to change the subject but I noticed you also running air con...was just wondering how you managed to fit the intercooler and the aircon condenser and radiator all in ?

the intercooler sits down low in the front bumper and doesn't come close to the condensor, it's a freelander tdi cooler... will check in my album and post some pix of that
this was ofcourse before i did the serpentine belt conversion, when i have all the brackets i'll put the ac back in.... just for when the wife drives the car, which in all honesty never happens...

Re: My 16v build, continued
Good morning peeps!
question, if you had damage to a piston due to too much boost and lean condition, would all 4 cylinder still have equal compression? i may have been naughty with the boost and now i have a missfire in boost, but all 4 cylinder shows an equal 8 bar across the range...

Check the plugs first. Also do a cylinder leakage test. (Google this and how to make a tool to do the test)ob wan wrote:Good morning peeps!

The piston killer is actually a range of things.
The porcelain on the spark plug can bearing off from detonation and damage the piston. The lean mixture can burn and melt the pistons and also the sleeves. There are a few others that I can't think of now, but what it boils down to is the head must come off to properly ascertain the extent of the damage.
Even if once head is off and it all is ok, you won't be losing out because you will then know that the moving parts are all ok.
