skyline, the founder of the thread! it's better still to see you still active.

free fixing, huh? if you want a VERY long term project, then sure! ;) i work so so slow ... that's why it took me 2 yrs to put Mokey on the road.

original italian job - i have it. sms me ur address. i'll burn it and put it in the post.

[sureshn]

'semputting' - apt word to describe it! my Mokey is beginning to suffer from that too. but once i run for 5 kms or more, semputting is gone. I think the carb is sticking.

fastclubman, you should be able to tell me if that is correct diagnosis. what do u think?

 

[mini kuning]

no offence but its a YRV engine Max. output 128.8 PS (127.0 bhp) (94.7 kW)
@6400 rpm
Max. torque 170.0 Nm (125 lbft) (17.3 kgm)
@3200 rpm


urs a 1400 ... just around 80 - 100 bhp... its like 30 more bhp for the YRV.. :shades_smile:

 

[gharith]

mini kuning: well there's nothing wrong with hoping bro... i've fragged quite a few more powerfull cars when i used to drag with my old DC5.

If i lost by a few meters to the YRV then i would still be ok... losing coz my engine isn't performing the way i want to is another thing all together

 

[fastclubman]

gharith,

U need to get the car fine tuned. Spark plug heat range, using the correct needle and springs for the HIF, correct idle mixture and ignition timing are all essential areas for obtaining the optimum and reliable performance on the A series. This is an art which require fine balancing and skill, which is unfortunately getting lesser to find these days. Thats why i still keep one on my favorite fast road cam and a HIF carb which was jetted for that application. Its the sweetest A series engine i have had, not to mention the most reliable too!

sureshn,

i guess you must be starting up the car (to warm it up) occassionally but not really driving it. Usually its the idle mixture which is rich causing carbon deposits to build up on your plugs. With 5 km of driving the deposits are all cleared up which makes the car to run smoother without 'semputting'. If the carb sticking due to lack of dashpot oil then you will have this consistently, even after 5 km or so of driving. Just hook up to a CO meter and adjust the idle mixture screw at the back of the carb. Should do the trick unless there is a leak somewhere!


minikuning,

the advantage the YRV kelisa has is traction compared to the mini. Once you are pushing about 100+ hp on the mini, wheelspin is a big issue, even in dry conditions. 1st gear on my mini is hopeless on mine due to wheelspin and this is with using 175-50-13 tyre combination and a 3.1 final drive!

just my 2 cents

fastclubman

 

[gharith]

Lol i'm getting wheelspin even on 2nd gear... currently running 12" and 3.1 final drive as well.

Maybe i should get fatter tires and move back to 13"

 

[fastclubman]

i get a chirp on 3rd depending on how quick i release the clutch! :)

 

[gharith]

hahahaha...

maybe you should represent me.. having a rematch next week against that Kelissa :P
or maybe i should just move to webers once and for all...

 

[fastclubman]

hahahha

i will let u do the battle! i just dont know when i iwll have time to get it back to HH for a tune up!

[kevyeoh]

guys...

i have a mini 1000cc and recently upgraded the car by fixing air cond...but that's where the problem starts... seems like there's a lot of squeaking sound from the air cond and i have tried send it to mechanic to fix numerous times without success... definitely confirm the squeaking sound is from the air cond cause when i turn off the air cond, the sound is gone...

should be from the air cond belt... but how come the problem can't be fixed by the mechanic? anyone with a known problem/solution can help? thanks!
:)

 

[red mini 8 7 8]

you might have belting problems if the noise comes from the engine everytime you

press the accelerator. Try to tighten the belting or replace it. If its a whinning sound

something like a turbine sound it means its ur compressor bearing. Other than that if

might just be your air con blower itself.. check fan that brings in air, it might have

something stuck there like leaves...etc2.
