Hi there. Only have my phone to write with since away from home at mo. Don't need rolling road to set up e-boost. You can overboost but it will be roughly...
Hi Cognoscenti, Can anyone explain the "drive-by-wire" throttle system on the 3200 GT? Has anyone ever heard of the wires needing replacing? Enrico....
It uses a throttle position sensor to control the inlet via a valve controlled by the ecu, instead of mechanically. From what i've heard it's not very good....
... I saw your note to a post from a BZ member saying contact me off line about the MIE suspension upgrade. Could you please share your wisdom in this with me...
I have heard 2 things about it Enrico. 1. That it's not an easy throttle to modulate. 2. It is expensive to replace the actual electronic throttle body. I...
Hi Bob, Yes I've heard that this throttle body is prone to faults, David Askew can refurbish them for less than half the price of a new unit, and the...
I have a set of 15 x 7 Gotti 2 piece rims with Khumo VictorRacer tires 205-50-ZR15 and 225-50-ZR15. I have one person who was interested in seeing the details...
Hi Jarle I am interested in the EFI route, but having gone down the motec route in the past i know it's complex and expensive, unless you know otherwise? What...
Hey Chad! Complex, well yes. Unless someone has a good basemap you can map from. Which I happen to have… The wiring and stuff isn't that bad if you have a...
My 87 biturbo si is breaking down at 4000 rpm, dying then backfiring . Had a similar problem once before, the MAP sensor "nipple " for the vacuum hose was...
This exact problem occurs when dist. Cap or rotor arm goes as well. So if you haven't changed them for some time, this might be the problem as well. Regarding...
Thank you. I have checked the dist cap & rotor, all looks well. From memory the backfiring used to happen only when hot, now all the time. Car is just back...
Hey! I've had rotor arm and cap go without any chance of seeing something is up with them. When these items are the problem, you will get this issue regardless...
I'll check rotor & cap, think i have spares.Not sure on SAAB ratings but recall checking once before & numbers matched exactly. I am checking in the net now -...
The easiest way is to measure CO level at idle while trying to bend the hoses. But you need a gaz analyzer. Anyway the CO level is a good indicator of the...
"Car is just back 2gether after months - head work,valves etc. Will check again 2moro if I can get one locally (Perth Australia)," I had backfiring as well. I...
Folks, I am having problems getting the 228 to turn over. I have replaced the battery and up until about a month ago have not had any problems. All lights are...
See if it turns by hand, a 19 socket on breaker bar on the crank bolt clockwise. If it does turn easily then bang on the starter with the breaker bar handle....
Well, Looks like it was neither of the ones I thought! I hadn't seen the OS Gilken name mentioned as I read it a bit quickly. That diff looks interesting...I...
Ron, Jorge Garcia gave me your name as someone who might be able to help me troubleshoot a starter problem on my 228 Biturbo. I have had a trickle charger...
 Perhaps you swapped in a Lucas switch from one of the Lotui.  The new Lucas Three Way is known to misfunction in all three settings:  1) OFF  2)...

I think we discussed this before but I don't remember any resolution Nick. I'm now about to begin my braking system diagnosis and caliper/master overhaul so if...
Hi Bob, Well that problem with the front pressure dropping certainly sounds strange. Are there any specific conditions that cause the pressure to drop? i.e. ...
Just put my new distibitor in and boy what a difference. I also have a msd coil and ignition for it. Question is, If the wires from the original coil are...
Hi, What do you mean by CB? My understanding is that if it's disconnected it "fails safe" and hence operates fully open allowing the waste gates to open at...
