^^^ I have always been running a Power FC and had highflowed my stock turbo when it blew at Barbs........so its got a Gt3076r core in it now with a slightly bigger than standard housing.........(avoided a high mount because its daily driven)

The old tune was done on a hot day (not that it matters that much)....but its leaning out pretty badly in places....and the AFRs are all over the place really.

Had a lovely tuning session this evening...nice and cool......and yeah she performed very well.

First up a big thank you to Tom and Richie @ PZP (you guys are awesome)

Few pics..............

Plenty of fresh air :)

PLENTY of flames :devil: .....and a couple of hours later.......................

Two boost settings....................

12 psi spiking to 13 psi for everyday driving........319 @ the wheels.....

18 psi for the high boost setting.....352.9 @ the wheels.....

Tom was reluctant to turn up the boost (even though the car was responding well to more boost) because of the damage it might cause to the standard head gasket, valves, springs etc...which I thought was a fair call and which I am more than happy with....(because I am no dyno queen)

260kw for the street is just about right for the street in my opinion and the car runs like a dream....very smooth....and torque curve has improved quite a bit.....so yeah.....happy days :P

LOL thought that driveway was snow at first glance.

And for wheels - SSR SP1 / 3pc Meisters with black centres ftw.

Will fill guards nicely espesh with your little side skirt thingy :rolleyes:

"super black coat" on that link. would b hawt imo

and lol yeah i thought it was snow too

and also - U changed the lights we did for you!

@ Simon - Thanks for the troubleshoot (damn video was refusing to upload - but got there in the end)......

@ Jonno.....yeah I did...but will be putting back the green LEDs soon.....they looked better (naaawww)

Here we go.....a video I completed last night....a quick summary of this thread basically

Michael scan that book and PM "on edge" a little teaser every day..hahha.....but on a serious note....thanks for sharing...interesting to know.

And in other news.....................

Damn thunderstorms and rain have put all painting on the back burner......

so not expecting any "developments on that front" (see what I did there) :P

The car is really nice to drive now with the new tune................tested the high boost setting the other day and "its awesome" would be a polite way of describing it.

For all those people who think their tune is "slightly off the mark"....it probably is....the weather plays a big role it seems....and I can vouch for that...tune in summer and tune in winter.....A LOT DIFFERENT.

Anyway I am happy..she comes on strong....runs beautifully even on cold starts etc...and sounds awesome on full song.

Have really been spending a lot of time researching rims.....I want work meisters but cant justify buying them at this stage..so more saving involved or I will have to find an alternative. Going to go to Vision R for some trial fitting soon...will post updates.

Oh bought and strategically located an airfreshner thingo this morning.....dont want the car to start smelling with all this damp and cold weather we are having :nyaanyaa:

Stay tuned..................

OK I NEED ADVICE from all the wheel gurus.......

Plan to go with ^^^^

18 x 8.5 fronts +29

18 x 9.5 rears +24

My big concern is the backs will stick out too much?? Thoughts?? The other option is +37 so no inbetween for the rears.

I havent clicked on this thread for a long time and my god I am glad I did!

The car looks amazing and is exactly the image I am aiming for with my 33.

But instead I am going matte black :rolleyes:

So it will be getting the re-trim and all that jaz.

Also around the same numbers we are both pulling.

Have you got a dyno graph we can see because that would be great

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
