I’m running a Hks mushroom filter so not very restrictive but could remove to see if it makes a difference, gonna fit a new lambda sensor and Chuck some Cataclean in the tank .

I’m running a Hks mushroom filter so not very restrictive but could remove to see if it makes a difference, gonna fit a new lambda sensor and Chuck some Cataclean in the tank .
The lambda is not that old but could be worth trying , I was thinking of leaning out the a/f ratio just for the fast idle emissions test.
Hello all, was just wondering if it’s possible to adjust a/f mixture using the consult cable just for the mot emission test? And would doing so reduce emissions enough. Really struggled to pass last...
Oh ok tuning developments do a decent looking one might give it a try, do like the turbo chatter.
They’ll be like rocking horse shit now! Wonder if there will be any faster spool up with one?
Probably not worth it on a stage 1 running 14psi other than more engine bay bling. Did hear someone say that it causes a rough idle?
Was thinking of replacing the old elephant trunk turbo pipe with a hard pipe, other than looking better are there any other benifits? They claim better spool up and extra power due to better air flow...
I need to adjust my timing after my engine rebuild but can’t seem to find a free download of the Nissan data scan v 1 software anywhere, I have the consult cable. does anyone know where I can get...
It did look like his car. I haven’t seen one on the road for ages!
Was driving down the a12 at witham in the average speed check thinking about how I’ve missed driving my s14a then I couldn’t believe my eyes when one went past in the opposite direction!!! Damson...
Mine was doing a similar thing a few years back , turned out to be knock sensor detecting a knock and pulling timing out. Spun a rod bearing a few weeks after!
Hello mate does it backfire at all when it hesitates? Mine used to do that at around, 5k turned out to be knock sensor detecting a knock and cutting timing.
Ok thanks s200rat , looks like it has been ground will have to get oversized bearings from Nissan .
Hello all, does anyone know what size the big end rod journal has to be before I need oversized bearings . I bought a refurbished crankshaft and put pistons and rods back in but there is abit of play...
I’d like to stay with the 5 speed really , it occasionally crunches changing into 5th . I’m rebuilding engine atm so while gearbox was out thought may aswell get it refurbished. I’ll give garage d a...
Does anybody know somewhere in Essex I can get my 5 speed manual gearbox rebuilt on a 1998 s14a? I have phoned a few places now and they haven’t done one before so can’t give me a price, or...
I used Tesco momentum 99 Ron and sometimes v power.
I would rather keep the original engine, I’ve had the car for 11 years and it’s been pretty reliable so haven’t done bad. Will get started on it when the weather warms up
Thanks mate I may end up buying another lump depending on how much damage there is when I open it up, but second hand engines are strong money now!
Little update turned out it wasn’t the afm, it was the engine knocking slightly so knock sensor was pulling the timing back causing it to backfire. Took the car for a drive on a nice summers day...
Yeah tried that mate no joy, have got another second hand one off eBay on its way with correct plug this time!.
Does any know where you can still get brand new afm's from? Bought a second hand one off ebay but it has a different plug to mine even though it has come from an s14 ��.
Lol people have been ducking when I go past . Found the problem today borrowed my mates afm and the car was instantly better and no back firing Wish i’d Tried that 1st!!!.
Little update, done a boost leak test today and there was no leaks! Would a failing afm cause my car to backfire like crazy on full throttle?
It must be that then mine sounds like anti lag to. Will pressure test boost pipes the weekend.
