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

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
