Yer sorry FNQGU busy at work and a lack of funds and trying to nut out how to fit the frozen boost ic on top of the engine, have to get a new inlet manifold built and a friend helped me with a great idea for mounting the ic, i'm going to use some angle bolted to the ic and use gq/u sway bar rubbers and also thinking of enlarging the the cooling tanks on the ic to aid flow got to love forums too many ideas to lead me astray.:thumbup:Quote:

cheers mate, lookin' forward to the next install...
Well what a frustrating couple of days :furious: i decided to take the compensated 10mm pump out and put the factory TD42T GQ 11mm jap import pump in, timed it factory spec is 0.465 i think and advanced it to 0.520, fired it up and sweet as it warmed up the revs climbed to 950 so i give a bit of a rev and it was very slow to return to idle, took it for a lap/thrash around the block no change, thought 6 hours work and the pumps stuffed bugger and packed up for the night. Yesterday went out toped up coolant and had play with the compensator no change to rpm no adjustment left on idle screw then found alternator wasn't charging Bang Head had a little dummy spit, packed up and hit the beer fridge for some deep thought :xxxx::xxxx::xxxx::xxxx::xxxx::xxxx:. This morning got up to change alternator kicked the ute in the guts to move it and the dam thing is charging :Yahoo!:, had another look at the ip thought i'll back the fuel screw off a bit idle came down so backed it off two turns readjust the idle gave it a rev and the revs return to idle like normal now, started thinking what knuckle head would max out the fuel screw on a td with a ht18. So happy happy joy joy now just have to clean the soot up a bit now :Yahoo!:.
Ok update i backed the ip timing to .480 and the engine is much happier. Spent the last day and a half making and fitting a 3 1/2 inch exhaust still got a couple more hours yet to finish the tail pipe, it sounds good so far not too loud just the way i like it. Had my brother weld most of it up for me and he tells me i've got the wrong gas for stainless otherwise the welds would have been better.
