james Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 why not take it back to the guy that fitted the engine and say its not work out fix it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prezes Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 To be fair it that would have happened 2 or three months after the conversion was done ok... but now? I dont think it has anything to do with the conversion. It's quite a common problem on b series and hard to get rid of from what I read. But we will see. It drives well since the throttle cable was adjusted but code 43 was back this morning ;/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prezes Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Just a quick update:Radiator is absolutely great. The temperature is a little bit lower all the time and won't budge even a little bit under load. Plus it looks nice in the engine bay And that would be it from the good bits Radiator hoses - bottom one fits, top one doesn't - different shape, I did read somewhere about that before ... Engine mounts - Only front drivers side fitted, passanger side nut is just going round and round so cant take it off... Didn't even proceed to the back one. Funny thing is that only one made a difference. A little bit more vibrations on the steering wheel plus less wheel hop. Shift lever bushing - front one fitted ok. The back one cant be fitted as both nuts are just going round and round hahah. Rubbish. Still the front one improved the stiffness a tad. Replaced the hid bulbs to 8k hid.Spoken to Darren from DNR as Im just fed up. He will pick the car up next week and get all those bits sorted + resolve the hesitation problem and finish the tuning. That's it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
