Because of the problems with my fans coming on and staying on virtually all of the time I took everbodies advice and 'boxed in' the radiator. Instead of...
I was keeping an eye on the registration plate ''G33 BAD'' but cannot find it for sale anymore, anybody on here get hold of it ?? I've seen ''G33 ALE'' which...
Just a thought about the fans. I watch my temperature gauge constantly fluctuate between 80and 95' ( in traffic)dependent on the fans being off or on. This...
I enquired about G33 BAD and was told that it was no longer available, same for G33 WOW. Considered G33 ALE, but I am trying to ease up on the beer, or I...
I have recently fitted an ECU from a 4.0l TVR Chimera, performance seems to be similar except over 5000rpm where it seems better, idling is much better but...

More cooling than ECU related. My car is now back on the road, now having had the wheels pointed where they ought to point by my local TVR specialists,...
Re ECU: If the TVR ECU has a different fuel map, so that the car runs richer, both the top end performance and cooling could well be improved. If a car is...
Seems like a fair explanation, I guess that means less mpg, I was averaging 18mpg with the original ecu, I will moniytor the car on the new ecu. Driving to le...
I used to get 18 mpg, but after the rechip and some messing around with the fuel pressure regulator, and fuel mixture, it returns about 23 mpg, and I have...
Arrhh air baffles..... I spent around 3 hours today messing around and heres the final article. It is easiest to simply use a single sheet of alluminium bolted...
Mark The chip is from a TVR with cats, I haven't looked at the plugs recently, I want to give them time to clear up after the car was run with the airflow...
I thought some of you might be interested in rolling road results for my car, as it was measured with both the oringinal Ginetta Supplied ECU and an ECU for a...
Forgot to add that the fuel air ratio with the TVR ECU is much more like the ideal. The standard ECU runs the car very lean once over 2800 rpm. Nick Towe...
Thats brillant, nice to see some solid facts and with cats. Dont for get I can duplicate the Eproms used in the ECU if people have promising fuel maps..... ...
Looks like I may be replacing my rad, as it has been recored with a rather thin core (only 30mm thick), just prior to my ownership. Has anyone fitted a Radtec...
John I can only vouch for their workmanship (my rad is a Pace one). Radtec build quality is good. They have made an alloy fuel tank and an intercooler for...
Have whipped the rad out this afternoon and will be taking it to have it fattened up. There didn't seem to be a vast quantity of water that came out when I ...
Theres a drain point on the left hand side of the engine, but as a side note after investigating my fluctuating temperatures on mine it appears its easy to get...
Mark Thanks for that. They're going to fit a fatter core. Then I'll do my utmost to ensure lack of airlocks upon refitting. Watch this space when I return from...
I have just run my car to Le Mans and back in very hot weather (34 deg C) and the water temp did not exceed 95 deg except on a 15 min auto route run at xxx...
As an aside, I called Rimmer Bros to order a new thermostat. When I gave them my engine number they said it was a TVR Chimaera engine number. Would this be...
Thats a fuel cut of switch that trips out if the car is involed in an impact, so to prevent a fire. It is not as such an over current circuit breaker, and has...
Thanks Mark Interesting! I'm not sure how it could have got knocked. Would the bonnet slamming activate it? (A cat jumped onto the open bonnet) Asd for the...
Can anyone help me with this? My rear tyres are just about done, but I am struggling to get replacements of the same size apart from semi slick tyres (poor...
The tyre depth (ie diamenter) can be worked out as. 215 (width in CM) x .5 (ie 50 profile) = 107cm tyre hieght 214 x .45 = 96cm so you loose 1.1 cm per side or...
Sorry, got the size wrong in my question before. The size I can get is 215/45/15. As a further question, my front tyres have loads of tread, what are peoples...
I dont know if we all have the same safety switch but mine works both ways; once tripped it will cut out the fuel pump relay but once you turn ignition off and...
