    obd1 is the way forward, im sure i will figure it out as i go along,i dont think i will be able to run the charge cooler cos i would not be able to stabilise the air on such a short system so running an intercooler would be a better option. i think with the mapping ill go stand alone cos got a afm controller on route.obd2 seems to be a pain in the ass and the time ive spent the money on converting i would be better spending the cash on standalone..i the battle is nearly won.....

    WOW after so many could it be that, i disconnected the charger air pipe to the throttle body and went back to basics running the standard air pipe,maf and air filter ,and it ran perfect apart from abit of idle minors...so i thought it was the air that was giving me the problems.so with a bit of trial and error i had to stabilize the air before it hit the maf by making the air pipe after the air filter longer and by doing this the air was less turbulant and the maf could cope with the extra intake of air..the charger works good so just have to get 100mm silicone so i can get the correct length

    SOUNDS A MINT IDEA LMFAO..looks like the winter has set into your wheels mate all the salt ect you will probably find that it has gone into the alloy rather than surface damage so a full strip and powder coat is the way forward probs...or just get the lips polished then get a good laquere on to stop the elements getting in....

    went to scrappies today picked up obd2 inlet manifold,throttle body and MAF and some wiring but do i need the EGR thingy. ive looked at the wiring and does anybody know how to wire the old 5 pin maf into the 4 pin only 1 wire shows voltage when ignition is on...I was thinking it may be due to the plugs as the old ones are new and the ones i have in now are from when i brought the charger mmm this may be the problem any thought on any thing else dudes
  20. pfennell
    cheers mate,i take it i will have to change the wiring as well. oh well one day i will drive this thing probs when the world runs out of fuel lol
  21. pfennell
    no map yet and standard injectors..ive been told the best way to solve this is to convert to obd2...

    the return runs to the fuel pressure regulator the bottom connector then out the side to the to the fuel rail reg then where the return pipe normally goes ive put a non return valve on is that right
  23. pfennell
    finished my rotrex build today and have 2 problems. vr6 obd1 aaa 1, the maf is popping quite loud on idle and trying to accelerate. 2, i thought the idle problem was sommat to do with the fuelling so disconnected the fuel regulator and fse and connected it all back up to where is was originally,when i disconnected the fuel feed pipe to the rail the fuel was under alot of pressure and squirted all over..i ran the fuel through a walbro 4 bar pump to the rail and the return pipe was connected to the fse and the return hose on the rail was blanked with a non return valve ifs thats any help.. thank
  24. pfennell

  25. pfennell
