If you put your foot down gently, you get a very stead but solid acceleration. If you put your foot to the floor, the engine starts off pulling nicely then starts stuttering (at this point the boost gauge is just going to positive, maybe 0.2bar) until the point where you need to change down. That sounds like fuelling and nothing more... Did the RR guy actually take out the needle - or just adjust the mixture screw? Is there plenty of oil in the dashpot? A wideband Lambda /O2 gauge like this should be considered as essential (or more so) as a boost gauge... It'll identify fuelling problems - and the weak dollar is definatly in your favour right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=300029864237 oh - and the intercooler piping looks fine. A lot better than some real abortions I've seen over the years.

Wish we had the buget for the lamda sensor. unfortunately money has run out. I think I saw a post on here for installing a Lamba sensor on the cheap. As I don't know the difference between Narrow band and wide band lamda sensors I'm wondering whether the effort installing it on the cheap, ie second hand from a ford I think I read(?) will do the job. The people that did the rr are fairly reputable I think so I would guess they did things properly.

Can I use any spring in the dashpot as a secondary, ie from an 1 1/2" SU just as a trial (not sure on sizes). I guess if this is the cause I can get an uprated one from Avonbar. If this does not help I will try the coil, just to eliminate it. Am I right in saying that the coils off an NA 'A' series are not the same?

so long as its a 12v coil and not one designed to run on 9v ballasted ignition system it should be fine. no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Think about how much time effort and fuel you might put through the car testing, trying to sort things like fuelling.

The wideband lamda is now even further out of reach now. I think that the rr people were right when they said that the tubo maybe tired.
