What was the final spec Kev? Would go through the 33-odd pages but ....

 

lol good question, engine mods off the top of my head:

STi7/8 TMIC £200
silicon hosing £30
FSE reg £going rate
Walbro fuel pump £going rate
Parallel fuel mod £10
phase 1.5 manifold £5
440 injectors £can't remember + adaptors from Carl
Power FC £free
AVC-R £free
lightened flywheel £free
wrapped & ported headers & uppipe £50 inc. grinding stones & wrap
H&S DP £100
WRC exhaust system £bundled in with brakes etc. probably no more than £150
+ mapping
£750ish total

 

call it £850 with things like delivery, water spray nozzles, welding the DV up and aluminium sheeting etc.

then essentials from last week:

organic clutch £200
redline oil & filter £25ish
skinned knuckles £priceless

 

not finished the handling side of things so will hold off on that total till im done


and when i say £free above, means it came with the car

 

Only thing I have been in since which had more go had a bigger turbo on it Kev..
it is well sorted imho.. price of mods is very cheap too...

this is a really good read! you've done alot of things i'd like to do on my MY95 sti ra V-LTD and you haven't spend millions!

excellent work mate! :

 

Excellent Kev! V good spec and for very reasonable money.

Will be good to see it run at JSFC.

i've been a tart and bought some new rear lights pictures later...

 

Kev you a tart NEVER!!

 

oh no.. bad lights takes at least 20bhp off it!

 

..and these lights add what?






gave me a 12.56 @ 108 with a 60ft of 1.74

even won a trophy for my efforts

 

Well done Kev, wish I'd come along now.

Nice to have met you mate. Very good times too.

More piccies pls.

Trophy looks familiar


Bob

 

Well done Kev !!

Just think what it might do when we have mapped it to 1.5bar

Simon

 

don't forget the 'additives' too i said i was never drag racing again yesterday


oil leak on the turbo has cured itself after i tightened the oil feed pipe up

 

Yeah right.. never again!! ppphahahahaha lol

If the fuel pressure was as high as you said after the problem last weekend thinking it was fuel pressure and altering it etc.. then it would have been hampering power on boost for sure.. so with more boost, addictives and the right AFR you would be looking at quicker times than that.

Carrot... dangled..

Simon

 

freudian slip?

 

lol.. nope you are addicted

 

Great time Kev well done mate

 

Once a Racer, always a Racer.
You are done for now.
Start saving lots of $$$$ for the Xmas rework for a serious season next year.

MOT today *fingers crossed* and remap on friday

 

just passed it's MOT

 

With or without the cat? I've been meaning to pop down to my favorite MOT station and get them to check out the emissions with out the cat to see if it'll pass.

F

 

it was tested with the WRC exhaust with the cats in i did ask for an emissions test out of interest, will see when i pick it up if they did or not

 

Glad it passed Kev.

Mine passed the fast idle only on one cat and my Link. So we did the natural idle at 2800rpm.. oh look it passed.. lol I think you might get close on the fast idle with no cat as the burn is fairly efficent but at idle there is more fuel dropping out of the flame front and passing out the exhaust causing emissions to be higher imho.. hence only CO2 is checked I think it is at natural idle, fast idle they check Co2 and Hydrocarbon??
cannot remember for sure now.

They offered to do it without cat out of interest but I haven't been back to see, as took it there already catted up.

Now on an Apexi ecu and able to get natural idle much learner on my hap hazard 550s so will see what it is like at my next MOT.. also have oportunity to swithc on a working closed loop this time too..

Simon

 

mapping in an hour or so with him ^^^^

 

...and i'll be at the NBO on Sunday if anyone's about

 

Have a good day Kev






ps don't break anything

 

clutch didn't last long then will see if i can break it back in again tomorrow with a bit less boost, shouldn't really be slipping at the power i'm running though

 

was a real shame it was slipping so much Kev!

you know one of these days we will get the opportunity to map it completely

cars eh!
