Out of interest, do you have any idea on how much headroom you have with your current injectors(440cc if i remember correctly)?
bosch 440's at 3 bar, and I'll be honest, not alot of headroom I don't think mate. it's a strange one. 440#s at 3 bar won't fuel 350bhp with me7.5, yet they will with me3.8. No idea how, or why to be honest!
To the gearbox, it's an odd one, and it's not actually failled yet, but I think it's about to if I drive it again.
When i set up my shift light the other day, I had to hold it at 3.5k for about 30s whilst programming it.
When I went back ito first to pull off, I got the weirdest resistance to movement, almost as if I'd left the hand brake on, followed by a jolt forward then all was well
Had that odd resistance then free up a few times since. Almost like a binding cv or caliper similar, accompanied by a transmission shunt kind of noise.
Just decided to experiment in the road when coming back from a drive, Forward and back about 10 times and couldn't replicate it.
So went to pull into drive, and it rolled forward 2 feet then the front wheels LOCKED solid like an emergency stop.
Turned engine off, into neutral, Got out, and pushed it backwards, and the wheels did exactly 1 full rotation then it jammed solid going backwards too. All in neutral. Engine off.
Pushed forwards and back a few times to find the point it jams, then it freed. Fired it up and it sounds fine, engages all gears fine, so I drove it into the driveway REALLY carefully, about 30 yards, and as I rolled the last 3 yards to a stop it caught again and she juddered the last few feet with a loud scraping noise from the box
Feels to me like a single diff crownwheel bolt has come loose and it catching as it goes round at certain points
Engine is fine, all gears select fine, drives fine when not 'locked', I'd just got back from a 35 mile flat out thrash.
No exit wounds, no fluid leaks.
I'm going to get under and confirm it's not some crazy freak thing jamming the CV's or shafts, but they way it sounds I think it's far more internal than that.
Box out and stripped down, see what's occuring.
Fix it, or 6 speed 02M? but that would mean finding an 02M diff at sensible money, which is unlikely to happen.
Argh. cars
