    Gas "too rich" when cold.

    Could be just running rich on startup and may just need tuning but depends on the system. Impco systems tend to do that.... Will wait til I can see what system it is tho

    Twin turbo is different to sequential turbo..... 1 small turbo spools early and then that bypasses to the larger turbo....

    Crossflow Build Advice

    Makes me really think about doing my spare engine, Giving it a slap and tickle and putting it in the Lane...... Maybe after I do the EA2 ECU Conversion to run the EFI
  8. Do some pics if you do it bear..... I dont mind mine but just a tad heavier would be nice.... When I had the XE wagon years ago that was horrid. Could turn corners with 1 finger....

    High Idle - EFI xflow

    One of the reasons I want to do the EA2 conversion too...... Get rid of that horrible restriction from the AFM

    High Idle - EFI xflow

    I can understand 800 to 600... Thats why I played with mine to try and get it better.... Seems its just a ZL EFI thing by the sounds of it....

    High Idle - EFI xflow

    does on mine.... Mines exactly the same.... 600 rpm drive - 1000 neutral..... Not too fussed to be honest as it idles great at the lights and doesnt stall.... Was worse when I got it.....

    What colour speedo gear?

    Remember these had 14 inch wheels standard
  19. want a cheap car tracker.... Got a spare android phone handy??? even better with GPS enabled Get life360 on the android phone and hard wire it into the car with a prepaid sim behind the dash Pair it with your phone that you normally use..... That way you can track the phone to around 70 metres (and the car) radius......

    Spring spacers

  21. tpak addict

    Spring spacers

    they go on the flat part of the spring.... usually the top.... I put them in the back of my Lane as it was tooo loooow and scraping on the guards

    XF intank fuel pump upgrade

    The EFI pump is pretty big compared to a AU/BA pump so it should be able to fit.... there is enough room I would think

    Rough idle

    Wholeheartedly agree.... I could go on about a couple cars I have had years ago that had "character"..... lol

    Rough idle

    My ZL is the same... checked plugs and regapped, leads tested ok, etc etc even changed the AFM (EFI 4.1) and still its not quite where I would like it to be..... But it runs well, doesn't stall and generally goes pretty hard for what it is.... My BA I just take for granted its running at the lights.... so smooth at idle.... Funny thing tho I just love driving the Lane....
