Re: Ben's uno 1.6 HF turbo project
To cut a long story short.
At the end of June I put the uno in for the MOT and it failed not on much had to swop the ECU and clean some eaths as the fan didn't come on and the engine over heated.
So when all the jobs was done I then when back and it paas so got the tax and went for a drive happy days.
But on the Friday befor the retro show the uno broke down, Dad give me a tow home and we looked over the engine and turned out to be the fuel pump relay, so fitted a new one then it started
I then went back to Mum & Dads to clean the uno for the retro show and on the way there it broke down again
Dad towed me to his and set out to find out what was up this time. Spent all day Friday & Satarday with on luck.
On the tuseday a mate come over and had a look and in the end he adjusted the fpr and it started up, run like shit but it was running.
So new fuel pump was needed. I've now got a 044 bosch pump not fitted yet as I've stared over jobs on the uno, hoping to have it fitted in the week.
Some pictures of the uno
Brand new body kit fitted with new clips
Battery tray fitted.
Oil cooler to fit.
Cut out for the oil cooler to sit.

Re: Ben's uno 1.6 HF turbo project
Not much has been done to the uno but i have fitted the new pump and i've also fitted a new fse fuel pressure regulator. I've set the fuel pressure and the engine is now running much better. I've also fitted a oil cooler and had some lines made to fit.
Lots of jobs to do and i'm hoping to have the uno back on the road in the next 3 or 4 mouths.

Not on the back but a bit on the front. I've not had seats or peolpe in the back since I've fitted the r888.

Uno passed the MOT today but got some small jobs to do.
Going to be fitting a T3 turbo as the turbo on the engine is shot just need to go and pick it up from Dunc. Fingers crossed I will make the retro show in the uno

Re: Ben's uno 1.6 HF turbo project
little bit of an update, at the start of the year the uno was smoking at times then just after the mot it got bad, looked at the turbo and it had 3mm of play in it. I had all ready got a T3 turbo and a 2L manifold from Dunc so popped up to see him.
The uno is now running spot on now and have been enjoying it this summer. I did go up to Santa pod in September and did 5 runs and all went ok.
I need to setup the gear links better as i keep putting it into 5th. The boost was also a bit of a problem, having not set it up befor i went i had to do it there. I can only go to 12 ish PSI as thats all the map sensor will let me. The best time was 14.3919 @ 95.29 mph.
I'm now looking into fitting Omex 600 ECU over the winter.
More to come soon.
Made up an oil feed pipe.
