So 1 yeah has been and there been some massive progress...

I washed it a few times, repainted the lower lip, made some proper bov delete plates, swapped back to the 720cc injectors and mounted my surge tank properly.

And thats it....

Pretty weak i know but i was playing with other toys.

Reinstalling the 4 channel amp and possibly going to make an airbox this weekend, wont hold my breath though.

Will post a pic or two when i get home.

Started to reinstall the amp two weekends ago, but forgot where i put the power and earth leads so i need to buy new ones. Also have ordered new battery terminals as the old ones have too much stuff coming off them now and look rubbish. Will do a tidy up of the power and earth wiring around the battery while im at it.

Next on the list will be fix a few small interior and exterior trim bits and what not that have annoyed me for too long. Oh and rego, that should be a priority.

Nothing much on the update front for this, did a service and replaced the turbo oil feed line on friday night as it was leaking. Has been nice just driving again.

Interior bits and pieces are still a focus, but may need to get the rear diff rebuilt as it has developed a bit too much backlash and clunks a bit.

Tune still hasnt been done. Need a 4bar map sensor and injectors before going for more power, and probably valve springs soon after that.

Yet another update (mainly so i can look back later and see what i did and when).

Spent a little bit of time on a dyno last week and only managed to compile a list of stuff that needs fixing before i go back on again. On the list is;

1. The poor old tial 38mm wastegate is just too small to control boost properly and needs to be joined by another one.

2. Need to suss out map sensor issues (jumps between 2-3 load points all the time even at constant throttle/load). Have put a filter in the line in the hope that fixes it but have not checked as of yet.

3. Knock sensors are in a land of their own (picking up massive amounts of knock all the time)

4. Wideband needs recalibrating

 

Didnt manage to get any full power runs in as it hits boost cut as soon as the turbo spools. The most we saw was 280awkw @4900rpm before it cut out.

Will get onto fixing stuff after world time attack weekend and report back.

    • 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?
