ABS is one things that isn't back in yet, have heard bleeding that is a nightmare so not looking forward to it...

My motor was rebuilt by the previous owner where they just cut the a/c lines and basically ruined the whole system, i'm in the process now of trying to chase bits and pieces down in order to try and have a/c running when the car is back together...

Don't get caught releasing that stuff to atmosphere, not good...

My car should be done with the panel beaters this week, so will share some pics. I actually called a number of people to come and collect the gas, as 2 of them that came out, said they don't have the right machine, apparently its too hard due to the age of the car.. wtf. Anyway so that took me a while but all done.

Removing the AC system was actually very easy once the gas was removed. I chose to go with the original matt black color. Will de-grease all the parts and fit new sleeves to all the looms where possible.

I left the ABS and brake assembly on as kinda needed it haha. The workshop will do all of that for me, and I'll just have to somehow bleed the fker.

 

Any progress on yours so far?

Sloooooow but steady progress nevertheless...

Just waiting on bearings to come in now, as you can see mine were put together by a Muppet in a sandpit by the looks of things :34_rolling_eyes: then the assembly of the motor will take place...

Finally got the block back earlier this week from being sleeved and machined, took the opportunity to have the crank cleaned and grub screwed at the same time... always wanted to have a freshly cleaned and painted block, came out pretty good i think...

At least in hindsight i now know every little inch of what's now gone into this motor so hopefully it will help me sleep that little bit better at night...

Wow. Those twins look serious. What are the specs?

Basically -7's with some larger billet wheels...

Time will tell I guess the results...

My hope is for -9 response with a touch more top end but who knows...

I keep seeing these pop up in the -5 version but no one seems to be forthcoming with actual results 

ye i think everyone is in the same position as me with their builds...

I too know a heap of people who've gone for the '-5 versions' but i seem to been one of very few gone for the smaller versions...

Yeah I have vcam and also intend on building a 2.8 when it lets go

she'll be right then, i'll be keeping a keen close eye on your build ;)

glad to see as good as these new big singles are these days there's still a few of us running twins.....:91_thumbsup:

I’ll admit right now I’m on the fence about which way I’m going and if I don’t see results for them soon they may get over looked 

Are you looking at the MMP ones?!

Yeah they are one option I’m looking at 

Fantastic to deal with to begin with and very knowledgeable. BUT...

Once I paid the money the customer service was dismal to say the least...

I paid for mine in October and didn't get them until January (when i was told they were 'on the shelf') and then when they did arrive they came with no actuators which i then waited another month for...

Even if the results are fantastic I think i'll always have a sour taste left in my mouth unfortunately from my dealings with them....

Just my 2c anyway...

Really digging the rocker cover colour. Looks mint!

ye i'm convinced now it's all come together thankfully...

got a bit of a mix in the engine bay of gunmetal grey, black and wrinkle black... will have to see how it all looks once fully complete...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
