Haltech are making a 20B loom for their E11V2 ECU - also doing some software changes to accomodate the Cosmo ignition system. Using my car to test everything..

All that should be done now - so we should be getting into the good bits soon. I haven't spoken to Matt for a few days - but I know Maroun is chanting at the bit to get started (and so am I).

More soon ......

226rwhp is the baseline.

Which is shit - OEM ECU is crap and running hell rich.

Next milestone is the new ECU with the stock setup - Hitman (matt) is uber confindent that we will get MUCH more power and economy, just with the ECU replacement.

Haltech are still working on ignition code and should be finished monday or tuesday - So that is the next dyno run.

After that - Compression check, full service and all the good bits go on.

More to come.......

this is before the t04 is fitted yeah?

YES mate - it's all still stock as a rock - they are getting the ECU right first - then fitting the good bits.

So the order of things goes like this:

1) Dyno run as I dropped it off to them - 226RWHP - Completed.

2) Install & tune the Haltech E11V2 ( so they can get a basemap for Haltech, so they can sell to other Cosmo owners whio just want the ECU changed) - Not completed

3) Dyno with just ECU and stock everything else. Not Completed

4) Fit the good bits (1600cc inj's, TO4Z, Fuel Pump, etc) - Not Complete

5) Tune with new bits - Not Complete

6) Dyno the final product - Not Complete.

So far we are between step 1 and 2

yay :)

i just assumed that as its been there a few weeks already they would have dyno'd it before now hence my confusion...

but coolio

cant wait for updates :)

Haltech have finalised the new code for ignition - a bit tricky the way it had to be done.

260 HP at the wheels with just the Haltech - standard boost 11.5:1 accross the board.

Engine is a little bit low on compression - but nothing to stop the next stage.

Stay tuned.

Since engine was low on compression and I didn't want to risk anything - Have decided to go with a full race prep engine rebuild - which is why this is taking so long.

Fully Dowled block

Mild Ext. Port

Race seals and spring

The whole shebang

then all the good stuff goes on

Should be ready end of Jan.

Yeah Pete,

They were gone a long time ago - all three std cats have been given the boot. Actually the whole std exhaust has gooooone - Have a nice brand new shiny 3" -> 2 x 2.5" system with one big i flow cat. no resonator and two cannons at the rear - Zorst is FREE FLOW man

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
