welcome mate. wait for its up to temp, then don't change gear until you hear the beep :thumbup:

as pez says. the ecu will then think "oh it wants lots of fuel" for the rest of its life and the car will shift like a bullet

Welcome to the site buddy

Run in as ive been told is 625miles with not exceeding 3000revs on the counter.

This is what ive been told however I would be gentle with it for abit (not too long the journey home after picking it up for example) then rev it up but not bouncing off the redline.

You'll need to get the cars engine going since its meant to be running 5000 upwards cause of VVT.

And what ever you do be gentle with it and dont think the cars invincible.

It hurts losing something so clos to you.

Just long enough to get the parts sorted, aye? ;/

 

[Ed...]

Boost is the only way

 

[ipodsandguns]

you dont need to tell andy that!

They're custom but can duplicates be ordered from Carrillo and JE Pistons..

This can't be important -BIN..

Before fitting

Car has had a mystery oil leak since i built the engine, but pulled the oil pump off and changed to a new seal so fingers crossed also refitted the exhaust studs as I think two weren't all the way in so oil leaking from them.. Also clutch still slips at 650miles

Hope you like

-Andy

Loving it a fiat is no match for a 197 thgh lol supercharging at present and I noticed u missed out the best bit of a rebuild lol cams.

Wasn't expecting that to be a panda after seeing all the work going into it. What sort of power was that making after the turbo?
