Jessopia74 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Makes a lot of sense Andy, and Bob definitely is the master at the CIH engines, so hope it fixes the strange issue you had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY ABBOTT Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 Some work on the orange i240 today. 2.4 pulled out to get fully rebuilt again as after pulling the head it came to my attention that the engine builder who did the work 2 years ago has fitted the pistons in the wrong order, and I've been wondering why I couldn't get the power i shoukd from it 😖 for now I'll be dropping my freshly built XE in it well I say for now but...... 🤔Anyways Should be a hand full with this lump in 😀 also have a replacement rear axle to go under it with a ZF slippy diff in as the Quaif one currently fitted is shite 🤣 white car took home to sit next to E45 for a while until there's room back at the manta unit. Got to paint all the red bits on the engine to orange now to suit the car 🙂 Another massive thanks to jhonny Johnny Roberts at Total smart for letting me borrow the truck. Anyone around the northwest needs any paint or body work he's your Top man 👌 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

ANDY ABBOTT Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 XE dropped in. Going to re run some new fuel lines, and git to re route some of the wires to take the new setup. Few things to sort with the wiring as my management has a 2 pin crank sensor, but the XE one is 3 pin. Also need to find some leads to suit the XE to coil pack.

ANDY ABBOTT Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 A lot of wiring done, bigger trumpets fitted. Next to sort the crank sensor out, and run new fuel lines. Still some wiring to tidy up but it's not far off. Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

ANDY ABBOTT Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 Another couple of hours in. Re routed the plug leads after purchasing the correct ones to suit my coil pack. Coil pack mounted, exhaust manifold fitted, and exhaust back fitted, heat shelid fitted, coolent pipes fitted, air flow sensor fitted, some wiring re routed and fitted, radiator tray re fitted. Just need to run new fuel lines as not happy with the current ones, waiting on correct crank sensor and coolent temp sensor then I can re route the wiring to these so it's nicely out the way where it won't get melted by the exhaust. Want to get the exhaust manifold heat wrapped so may come back off the that yet this was only for test fit. need to aquire a base map from somewhere then it should be ready to fire up. Few parts removed to paint orange to suit the car as the are currently red.... ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD GET A BASE MAP JUST FOR THE INITIAL START UP BEFORE IT GOES OFF TO Antonio Lommano FOR DYNO SETUP/REMAP ??

ANDY ABBOTT Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Thanks jess. I've been advised it should fire up OK on what's in it currently once the crank sensor is triggered, but I would like to know I'm working with somthing half right ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they are definitely half decent setups. I know lots of tuners slate them, but I think that’s diwn a lot to the ‘build quality’ of the board. Have you got lambda loop on this one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the XE will react to it Will run then, just over fuel a little. Timing is close. You might need to change crank sensor type? After all that, nothing in my Razor laptop!! Just looking back through my thread and it was my old MSI laptop. Now I know where that is for sure - in Leeds with my Son 🤦♂️ He loaned it when his had to go back for warranty repairs and it just got forgotten about. I’ll get it at weekend, but in mean time I will have a dig about as the xe base map was sent to me anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks jess, I'll give it a try with the existing map once I've got the crank sensor figured out it looks like I'm going to have to re pin a new 3 core loom to the ecu and run a standard 3 pin XE crank sensor. Only need it to run so I can check for leaks and run the cams in. Then it's off to Antonio for setting up and dyno run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
