My baby finally!

Yup ill be sticking with 95 for now, i really dont fancy having to be stuck with only using certain garages to get e85. I wont rule it out in the near future but im not after a rr figure, rather looking for useable and reliable power around the 350 mark

i mapped mine for e5 and it can be a right pain , heading to dublin , i have to fill the tank for fear i can get it along the way. doint know of any maxols on the way up from limerick .

i rekon youd still be ok with 95 petrol johnny, theres not really that much in the two i dont think. If i buy another ecu in a few months ill do the rr tests to find out

Got all my bits back from barelle powder coating aswell, very impressed with the turnaround time and the quality of the work

re-assembling the disks

So after dropping the cams in and turning the engine over by hand a cam broke in half...a brand new tomei unit

after some investigation it seems that the cam at some point was dropped, since its been sitting in a box in my room for two years i dont exactly have alot of comeback on it. I ordered a new one and had it direct from perfectrun in 5 working days, good service as always.

work continued:

At the moment im still busy with some tidying and some small tweeks to get it ready. Its off to Westward engineering on saturday to get its final map and hopefully some sort of a power figure.

More pics to come and i need to update my speclist, theres alot missing lol....progress will slow from next week because i start a new job monday not a bad thing!

 

[JEZ 8553]

My god youve been busy!! Lots of mouthwatering parts there...did you win the lottery ?

I guess your looking as close to 400BHP as you ca get ?

 

[slammedmind]

Lol i wish i won the lotto, if i did i wouldnt be doing all the work myself . Its just parts that ive bought over the past 2-3 years and finally having some time to fit them. My goal is 350bhp if i make that or just over it im happy, car was fun at 285 so 320+ will be super

 

[Miss S15]

Keep up the good work rob looking as good as ever.

 

[Trepidge]

the finished product

So got the boost issue sorted thanks to jez @ horsham developments and ben taylor on sxoc, a simple play around with the power fc and it was sorted! Next on the list is to replace the starter, its becomming a pain in the ass and needs changing. Then a map and hit the track early next year
