A wee update, works been manic, and been cramming some extra shifts in before Christmas
so been maga busy.
where shall i start...
after fitting the Gauges, a few days later i got started on the Boost Controller. I got a Gizzmo IBC. Quality controller! It hold boost perfectly once you work out how to use it!! :lol:
Then... a mapping session with a 'geekmapper' was arranged. All was going well untill he told me my turbo actuator is sh-te!
great...more money!!! we carried on anyways, he wanted to run the turbo at peak 1.8 bar, hold 1.7, but it wasnt having it, so he set it to peak 1.6 and hold 1.5 bar. (its probably shagged as the bonnet vent undertray has been off for a while, so all the rain is getting into the actuator :smt022 )
So...rather than being sensible and ordering another actuator,i ordered an Evo 9 80 series turbo :twisted: super quick spooling and good for about 450HP. as soon as it comes its going straight on, and back to the 'geek' for another map! Should then be 400/400!
oh...and i forgot to mention.... ANTILAG is the SHIZZZZLE
ill try get a video up this weekend,it pops and bangs its tits off aswell as having 3 foot flames firing out the back!!! :twisted:
i changed the APS CAI as i was getting VERY paranoid about the rain, motorway spray and flooding... and got a nice K&N fitted! i tried fitting a 9" long Cossie type K&N filter but it wasnt having it! So i got a 6.5" filter. pretty much the biggest filter i could fit whilst still using MAF sensor (as it takes up so much space!!)
im gonna be making my own airbox for it out of Ali, with a nice cold air feed going to it in the next few weeks. Not sure whether to keep it Ali and polish it, or get it carbon wrapped? Opinions please people!!!???
anyways, heres a couple of pics.. more will come soon
