Saving for a house but paying people to clean your engine bay?

Not sure why you're having a go haha. Yes, I am saving for a house, did this come out of my house money? No, it didn't. I also know the detailer, so had it done cheap :)

So unfortunately I didn't come home to find these goodies waiting for me BUT my mum did deliver them to my room which was just as good! Also quite surprising given the fact they came around 5 (idk about you, but I've never received a parcel that late). :bunny:

I'm v excited! Dyno graph probably won't change heaps though but still hoping for better response, especially on a stock turbo :)

Yeah, not sure how it happened haha. Even HyperDrive was amazed!

Hey guys,

So on Thursday I got the call from HyperDrive to advise The Black Pearl was ready to be picked up. Photo of her loving life and being at home below:

HyperDrive did advise some issues were found though. SO, here is my Exhaust Cam Gear (which you all knew about from a few posts ago) not loving life so much:

HyperDrive also advised they found this issue, my Inlet Cam has had the Dowel (think that's how it's spelled) pushed into the Cam! :O See photo's below of the Inlet Cam:

VS's how it SHOULD look (Dowel on Exhaust Cam included for comparison), how the Dowel should look (Left) as opposed to how it was (Right):

Let's talk about some good things now :yes:

Loving the Tomei PonCam's, so much responsiveness with the stock Turbo & absolutely LOVING the tune! First time in at least 6 months she's actually been running well. Video of idle:

One final thing before I go, since the head-swap (well at least that's when I started noticing this issue) there's this noise I can't explain unfortunately. Pretty much when inside the car there is this loud noise that can be heard. It isn't always there, usually after I've turned the car on, it appears 5 minutes later. For the life of me idk what it is.. it's loud though, to the point where it almost hurts my ears haha. That's the only way I can describe it. I'll see if I can grab a video of it actually

Until next time! :D

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
