It's a slow drive if it is. Either that or my logs are telling me that I need a bigger rad/fans too!

 

Its a running in drive. limited to 4500rpm and 0.5bar of boost

 

Daz!!!!

Fantastic thread mate!! This one will take some beating!! Hope everything goes well over the running in period and when you get it mapped!!

Trav

 

Daz im not sure on your filter position as i think it may be putting some strain on the pump being higher than the lump

 

I'm sure it'll be fine. PS here's a picture for you

 

Is the knock current at 2250 rpm or a recorded peak mate.

 

That's a default value. I dont think its been set up yet as its a constant 15 on all my logs so far.

 

That paticular entry doesn't refer to any knock levels, it represents the status of the knock control system.

 

Bloody hell you let Stew, bod and dan loose near your car Daz

Glad to hear you got it started

 

Just read through your whole thread.
What an incredible journey..and still going.
Some really cracking work gone in there and an amazing amount of perseverance and patience!!
Absolutely storming chap!!

 

cool no worries then

 

And a sterling job they did too

Proper mapping is on Wednesday

 

Great to see it rolling now Daz and glad you seem to have the teething problems under control.

Best of luck for the mapping mate, its been a long time coming and the rewards will be very well deserved.

Great job

 

Ok update time. Finally started mapping at around 10:30pm last night after trying to sort some cam sensor issues. Only managed a few pulls before a misfire presented itself. Conclusion was the plugs need changing. However with virtually no ignition timing, only 0.5bar of boost and 50% throttle it made 354 bhp. Simon also said that even though the vvt isn't wired up yet it spools incredibly well. Annoyingly on the way home the misfire cleared itself however I'm now getting det at anything over 0.8bar. From the run home I can tell that it's going to be bloody quick. My last scooby was 450bhp and at 0.8 bar this one ****s all over it. It certainly upset a focus rs driver on the way home last night when we literally left him standing when we left trowel services together lol. Anyway it's a cracking start,
on 2.2 bar with working vvt heads It's going to be insane!!!!!

**** me - back in the day mu Scoob only ever managed 313/300 and yours beats that with a misfire, half throttle and dodgy plugs

 

Glad to here you managed to start mapping it, certainly looked very impressive in the engine bay

 

Daz it's getting there mate you going for next Thursday if so ill try and pop along just in case there is some more wiring needed

 

Simon is coming up north to map it this time (Tuesday). I'm sure I'll be back down at SRR for a power run at some point

 

OK a quick update.

I popped down to Zen yesterday to pick up some door cards that paul had kindly promised me. Whilst there Paul offered to have look at the annoying little cam sensor issue that we'd been having.

Anyway four hours later problem solved with the additions of now fully working AVCS heads, wideband fitted and loom made. Inlet air temp wired up and working and 4port boost control solenoid wired up but disconnected at the connector until mapping time.

So a massive thanks to both Paul and Rich aka Ren for working on my car at extremely short notice i.e me turning up out of the blue.

The car is now completely ready for Simon to map to its potential on Tuesday. It can't come soon enough. Paul made sure it was safe for me to drive home. Pushed it to 1 bar and its going to be bloody quick. in 6th I'm seeing 1 bar by 3600rpm thats with hardly any timing and withut the boost control wired up. So wastegate spring only. It's going to be interesting once mapped that's for sure

 

Great thread fella, gotta say i wish i have the skill (and funds) to build a car like yours one day!!! (i am only 26 so i have a couple of years on you yet right??he he)

Simon is actually mapping my car the day after (weds) funny enough - although compared to yours he's gonna feel like hes passenger in a mk1 fiesta or something!!!LoL

Keep the pics coming bud.

Kind Regards
Andy

 

Seen this car in the flesh yesterday, and is looking very tasty indeed Must really exciting now knowing after all the hard work its almost there and all coming together

 

Glad its all finaly come together for you daz, now all the teething probs have been sorted, tuesday should be a very good day, look forward to the results!

 

I thought Simon expressed the look of Daz's car well by saying it has a great presence which is correct. Daz followed me for several miles in his beast and it looks a right street thug in your centre mirror.

Glad it's coming together for you now buddy

 

Mapped up today, car is awesome.. spool is very early and just pulls and pulls.

Simon

 

Congratulations Daz, well deserved mate

 

Don't keep us in suspense, what's the power?!

TX.

 

We'll let Daz tell you the figures, but its shall we say... ample

 

where is he, thought he might of popped up here, great figures all we need now is a little vid and the graphs

jim

 

Been a silent lurker for a while mate but been following the thread from the start, looking forward to seeing the outcome and how the car performs in the future, a big thumbs up from me before all of that though seeing all the work and effort you`v put in, good show fella.
