Lovely weather outside today so i've spent the first few hours of it fixing other peoples cars Once they were out the way I pulled out the loose engine mount. Its had a right do and split itself in two! In the mean time, its basking in the sun with a liberal amount of tigerseal gluing it back together. I might order a new one from rimmer bro's, but at £25+post each, I'm in no rush. That looks very much like this one to me. www.moss-europe.co.uk/mounting-engine-132669.htmlPm me if it is the same dude.

Fair enough man, guess its not worth fettling a mount you know will fail soon, when you have some mounts ready to modify and fit!

oh my. V8 and a turbo, well played. What gearbox is in it? Its currently got an LT77 5 speed in it. The car came with some paperwork that stated that it was new about 30k miles ago which is nice I have a spare R380 which is the later 5 speed out of an LDV pilot van. The ratios are near enough (although 1st is super short) but they are meant to be quite a bit stronger.

Full boost comes in around 3-4000RPM i think. Ill go out later on and do a pull right through 3rd gear from about 1500rpm and datalog it. I was logging the whole time i was recording the video above. The pull from the junction is shown below, moving through 1st,2nd and 3rd gears. Transient response is pretty good for the turbo. Boost is shown in red, RPM white and throttle position Green On the old hillman i did have flat foot shifting setup which worked really well. The only downside is the stress that it puts on the turbo and engine from the heat created. This gets rid of the loss of boost between shifts and makes the car sound just like a rally car too

Looks like an LSD might be on your list to Santa.... Very nice and remarkably loud for a turbo. P.

Once again, Boost in red, Throttle in green and rpm in white. This was 3rd gear, 1800rmp to 5100rmp. Boost came in at around 3500rpm. I don't know why the tps value dropped, i know the throttle was pinned! Ill add that to the list of jobs I'm glad everyone likes the car aswell! If anyone wants to see any thing in particular, just let me know and ill do my best to get it

Great little videos :-) where about's are you? The scenery from the hillman vid looks lovely. Oh and what's the music in the second video? Sounded like amon Tobin at first but got more upbeat. I like.
More vids ! Top work and I like a good sleeper me.
