Does anyone have the vacuum diagram for Turbo UK cars?
DrieStone replied to DrieStone's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
That would be great. You can email me at [email protected] Thanks! -
I have a US car, but the emissions air pump has been removed at some point in the past, so the diagrams I have are not particularly useful. I want to make sure everything is hooked up correctly, and I think the best thing is for me to replicate the UK car. I have the Service Parts manual, but it only has the USA Turbo Carb diagram (43.03A), but if someone has the UK version, could they share it? Thanks!

Any chance you'll be doing Esprits (especially early cars)? -

I did a quick search through the forums and didn't find anything specific to the problem I'm having. Quick backstory: Pulled the engine 8 years ago, got everything back together this summer. Got the car started for the first time last weekend. I have some play in the clutch pedal (the first 1/4 or so there isn't any resistance), and I can't actually engage a gear with the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. I got my fingers down and I can push the rod that engages the clutch a bit. Seems that the master and slave are probably ok. It looks like the adjustment nut is in the right po

Not mine, but I thought someone out there might be interested. If it were on the East Coast I'd buy it and do something with it, but alas it's not worth dragging 3000 miles. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/3233622835.html

Distributor Advance Capsule, Timing etc...
DrieStone replied to jdfish's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
If you had an exhaust leak around the plunger it could be the cause, it's certainly the most obvious place I'd start looking. If you have enough revs to get up to 3-4k RPM, you shouldn't have a problem with boost regardless of timing or fuel delivery, they are totally separate (not that I'm an expert). Stock boost is .55bar/8psi. -

I hate to ask the obvious question, but are you sure it's not a wastegate issue?
