Nice work, will be worth all the effort once done :smt023

As above I would first check and change the PCV, then if still the same and compression is low it COULD be rings, valve stem seals or is there an oil leak on the charger adding oil to the mix? I take it there is no oil i the water making it look milky?

Fitted to the doors speaker fastrings and Dynamtted them too, gives a better sound but managed to cut every finger while doing so :-/. Can’t beat a bit of blood, sweat and tears while working on a car lol..

Thanks for the replies and the info guys, for now I’ll leave be. Hopefully in the next 12 months there is a possibility that I will supercharge as this is a project car for me, so will bare it in mind for then. Cheers.

Nice write up, great car and good work. Like it, should be fun!

Nice Car, nice pictures.

Hi, I’ve read that it can sometimes take up to 10 runs for the idle to settle and ecu to sort idle out, see how it goes over the next couple of days. But as above, check all vac pipes etc are fitted and fitted correctly.

Thanks @Lewisgame, the FN2 has an under bonnet scoop feed from the front of the car from above the grill and slam panel, the scoop then (when bonnet shut) connect to the air box with a large K&N cone filter in it which runs the usual course of the standard air feed. Think I've seen that...

Hi, TDI North, in a discussion about supercharging. I heard it was only good up to 250 bhp as well from elsewhere? Not seeing how ram air apposed to sucking is restrictive unless it's the diameter of the inlet track. Cheers Dave

Hi, I have a Gruppe M fitted to my FN2 but have been told these can be restrictive. Can anyone tell me what is restrictive about them please as I thought the ram air affect would be better than a cone just sucking air in and the cone surface area is much bigger than the OEM panel filter. Is...
