Got 2 Capris... one of which is a Turbo Technics 2.8i... this is next on the list for MJLJ when funds permit... got the V3 controller done and working... just need the rest of the stuff. Can't wait for the result on this. You will have the TT dizzy with the modified capsule. I bought one for £70,so...

self explanatory I'd say,Ford Sierra with 2/3 doors,but would rather like to have 2doorCossie as a username. But have to settle for the poor mans trim

thanks Brent,I shall give that a bash

Well,this is my interpretation of getting a tacho working on my Sierra. Here's the two diodes wired up http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm14/megajolt/IMG_0251.jpg the wires on the bottom end of the diodes are leading to the coilpack plug wiring green/red and yellow/green http://i292.photobucket.co...

I know how that feels
The front resembles the UK spec Datsun Violet
All the best with the project

I've searched myself,and I've not found anything Jamie,I suggest just plug and play. I could be wrong on this,but most turbo'd 4 cylinder engines will be similar.
Also,a wide band lambda will come to use.

oh right,I got carried away there. I'm none the wiser,is 40° normal for idle speed @ 1000rpm?

I can't evaluate/work in kilopascal,only psi. So your 166 KPA equates to 24psi fookin'ell,that is some boost going through a pair of dells,very impessed. There must be hope for my pinto then

You might get it from Ford only. The part number is finis 1651541 (E7EE 6316 CC). I'll see if any of my brigade have one.

Alternatively,another mounting plate could be made.
The Moss supercharger setup on your B-series caught my interest,as I will be aiming for an M45/62 on my DOHC Sierra.
Are you putting boost through carburettors?

If someone have some sugestion what to do and on what I must pay attantion it will be great. I confused by 4 output and what to put there and also what load to put. It's 4AGE engine,hi-comp pistons,rods,blue top head, OEM cams, dellortho DHLA 40. Thanks You would be lucky to find maps for your uniq...

Lovely Capri,I associated the MK1 with my birth year. I remember seeing one whilst living in Germany at a Classic Ford show which had the same month and year,March 1971. It was born when I was born :D sorting out bellhousing issues then it will be offered up to the engine bay of this! Would that mea...

Superb looking car the Levin is,a classic indeed. Engine bay looks tidy vladimir,and it is alledged that the engine was a copy of the Cosworth BDA used in the MK1 Escort

I've got the same problem,I did a forum search and I'm sure I had seen a post about connecting it to PIP. I've not yet had the chance to further the problem

I think I'll have to start selling my body finances are going elsewhere for now,tempting though,may consider in the near future. In fact,I have a number of Dells and Webers I could sell to fund...hmmm
