wassat?

 

sorry, messed it up first time!

 

Impressed they managed to get it in there, lots of skin got left behind I understand

 

Yeah, half of kevs hand. Sure we could smell burning skin when it was started

 

still got the top mount bud???

you got the pump and regulator done?

 

Pump's in, FPR is sitting next to the 550's in the back seat..... Doesn't look likr there's enough room for it now that the 05/06 is in!

 

you won the lottery m8? can i have some

 

I'm absolutely broke now

Luckily I had payed for a few of these thing's months ago and only just got it all sorted.

Did have an MR2 project car, but that's sold now to make way for more bits (once i put it back together ).

 

lovely. must be nice to get so much done so quickly?

 

Quickly!!!! I originally ordered a VF35 in june!!! possibly earlyer.

 

ah, but you now have an 05/06. much better turbo from all what i've heard. shall be where i go whenever i get to that point

 

Lookin good mate !
Cant wait to see the results with the Gems in.

 

 

I think with the tmic , standard headers and water inj this could be a very quick car in the real world.

what have you done about up-pipe?

 

Magnex up pipe.

It's looking good so far, it's not far off the TD04 round the town, but through the gears you'd swear this wasn't a turbo car.

I'm off to give it a run with the road dyno in a while and compare it to before the turbo was fitted (running 15-16psi).

It's actually a shame i didn't run the TD04 with that up pipe on, to get a better idea of the difference it's made.

If anyone is interested this is what happened (water injection not used).

The first two are back to back runs today. The third one is with the TD04. Same conditions (as it was when it made 236@Star).

 

And bang goes another MAF

 

seriously m8?! thats ****!!! does gems get rid of maf?

 

Dem Pesky MAFS!

Any ECU that can be mapped without one is a bonus IMHO.


My APEXI still uses MAF.

But am using MAF and Housing from Nissan 300zx.

This is more reliable apparantly but I think may cause slight problems at higher power levels @400bhp As the housing is slightly more restrictive.

Blew two standard MAFs in 6 mins getting my car mapped Yikes!

 

Yup, that's true. I can't quite claim 6mins but just a shade under 24hrs

It is a good thing GEMS gets rid of it, I'll take 4 spares with me though on my journey down to steve! :P

 

Gems get's rid of the MAF matey?

You worried me for a bit there

Spoke to steve today, Gems definetly gets rid of the MAF,
Otherwise it would have been a case of, EJECT,EJECT,EJECT on the group buy

 

Dave..... 305 brake.................... Holy poo! i told you it was alot faster when you did that thing that you did with them things.

Annnnyways.
