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.......

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

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.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
