oh it's been a loooong 48 hours. I ran a big end bearing on the way to scrutenering. Damo offered the engine out of his 4 door (it's already done 2 Targa's through recce). We rounded up some mates and went to work, had to strip the throttle setup, water pump and timing belt off my engine, and put it on Damo's. By 1:00 the new engine was together, and Damo and I were the last standing. We installed the engine and box, and by 4:30 the engine was running. I got home at 5:00, got 1.5 hours sleep, and then got the car to the dyno for the check up.... lost some power, but the engine is safe.

bad luck done with!

Damo and Ben have done a awesome job. Looking at the engine bay your would not tell it has been apart. The car sounded great and did a nice skid into the libary :thumbsup:

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
