Exhaust leak rectified, turbo sounds normal again but responds even faster.

Starts spooling as early as 2000-2200 and tonight it regularly saw 10PSI at 3000rpm.

Doesnt FEEL like a DE+T but might very well be. Must run a compression test on it ASAP and find out....

Had a hard time trying to get a video of tacho, boost gauge AND not crashing, all at the same time...but will get around to it.

14 PSI, sweet.

But then.....

Replaced every hose clamp in the entire car with new aftermarket ones. Took me a while but looks neat and no more blowing off intercooler pipes.

Next I painted the heatshields.

Currently not running AGAIN due to brand new Bosch 040 overheating after any more than 15 seconds of use. Trying to rectify :\

Still not fixed :( Idled fine for 30 minutes, got out of my suburb and onto the highway and started all over again. Had to let it cool down 5 mins at a time every 2-3 km (without going over 2500rpm) to limp it home.

Pic I snapped while waiting for it to cool down again.

They do but too wide for the open centre diff to do skids in. clutch kick any revs below 4000 and it' just bogs down and launches, even when it does do a skid (ie forced first gear into 90 degree corner) suspension flexes up, demon camber comes on and skid is only 2inches wide (from a 9 inch tyre).

Definately need to roll guards, slam it some more, wind out camber, and fit LSD / mech.

UPDATE:

Car fixed, cleaned fuel tank today and chucked in another 500hp pump, run's great, again, for now.

:D

Turn one wheel in a direction, opposite wheel turns opposite direction. Open Centre FTL

I know most 20DE Ceffy's had LSD but this one was indeed a 20E when I got it.

Got an LSD at mate's place, still deciding if I can be f**ked doing the shims before I just top up oil and chuck it in.

Took her out with some Perth guys for a bit of a photoshoot. Mate does it as a hobby.

----------------------------------

Not much else in news at the moment. Few little things need doing, have racked up over 800km in it since new engine and still ironing out all the problems.

Cracked the $1000 mark of materials that I've spent reviving the halfcut motor to where it SHOULD be. Almost ready to lean on the car as a daily again. Has been good fun to drive around though, and rather interesting finding ways to get it going every time it breaks down 40+ km from from.

LOL I kept telling you it was a bunky POS but you insisted on taking photo's of it :P

non-ABS stuff? dunno, whenever? Fix Jess's car and take a night or two off to cool down. LSD has been sitting here for ages, gotta order some shims for it. I'll might chuck it in as is when the single piece driveshaft arrives - a bit easier that way. Then shim it later?

looking gud nic, whats the light in the shutter speed pic i cant tell?

i got 3x 1.20 mm shims, installed two on the spider gear side and one on the other side and put it all back together. need to get around to installing it on the car when i get some free time.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
