Bummer, but as others have said - I'd normally have expected a phone call if there was an issue so I am guessing they are still behind schedule. Hopefully there is some progress today :)

So just got an update. Was a delay in getting some silicone joiners to complete the install so didn't make it to dyno yesterday. Not sure of new scheduled date as yet.

Tune in again next week? Haha.

Haha! Trust me it's not on purpose. Still got my fingers crossed that might see results by end of the week, but I guess depends on when it can get another dyno slot.

Anyways, will be sure to update when I hear more.

Cheers lads.

Only a minor update. Car is back together and has been fired back up without drama. Galvsport are currently looking into when they can get a spot on the dyno. No news on that as yet.

I'm guessing (desperately hoping) it will be by mid next week.

Looking likely that tune will happen on Wednesday... Going to be a loooonnng couple of days :)

Man it's going to be a long couple of days for me too.

Been waiting for these results and also waiting for transformers to come out haha

Good to hear it's moving forward

Haha, you guys are hanging out? It's been just over 6 weeks since I dropped the car off now, so really hope the rest of the work goes smoothly... and that it comes up with a decent result...

At any rate, will post up results as soon as I can. :yes:

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
