Update
ZF gear tooth speed sensor arrived today (part no GS100701). This is the same sensor ive seen for £70 -100 on a few tuner places, where in reality its £30 from Rs Components.
With weather being good and curious to see if it was a goer, i freed a couple of hours up this afternoon to fit...
Rstuner aio is nice, but not essential.
You can also use winols to tune the oem ecu, using a basic level rstuner to log data. Can pick up a 2nd hand rstuner easy if you dont have one already.
I run 205/50/15 on et43 2118 on my trophy. No rubbing on rear, get occasional chirp on top of front arch liners on full compression but thats due to rideheight.
Full send if fuel system allows mate, All in. Max out the turbo if all goes well. Tidy up a few bits as flywheel is lighter etc.
Ive advised Chris that we might need to do some fuel system diag as ive gone as far as i can with it really.
Agreed. Stilly life is about revving it like f**k with minimal cutting or letting it idle basically to annoy everybody.
The only noise that annoys everybody more than stilly is multi tool :LOL:
Cant beat a stilly. All my mates have gone leccy stillies these days, bizarre seeing them graft with no noise and not pulling their arm off trying to get the thing fired up :LOL:
Done a bit on this yesterday.
Its in for mapping this week and nothing like a good short deadline to get projects moving. Made a start trying to get a couple of jobs done that ive put off for ages. These are non essential/nice to have so doesnt really matter if completed or not but be nice...
Busy weekend.
Trip down to Danny Afro's to get his 197 engine converted kangoo up and running.
I bench read the immobiliser chip on the 197 ecu a while back and created my own virgin immobiliser file. I reverse engineered my own immob and wrote the hex file to suit. This was a bit of a gamble...
Tempted:LOL: i chiselled a floor pan out of a car years ago, but need a bit more finesse /speed on this.
I generally use hand tools to save pissing about setting up power tools. Honestly when i was a joiner many years ago, all we had was hand tools and a cordless drill. Shared a hilti sds...
Makita was the best going back to the late 90's early/2000's when i first started on the building sites. Elu/dewalt was then the nex excellent gear to buy until the brand basically turned into yellow sack and pecker.
Ill be needing to cut a rear qtr off a car soon. Milwaukee m18 recip man...
I think that breather plate is a tessa one for coilpack relocation. Pms new style one is best,id go with that.
I also had one of the bolts deep in the sump round off. Drilled it in situ knackering the sump in the process, right carry on. If yours aint leaking, id leave it.
Quick wash before work this morning. It wasnt really mucky being honest, but any excuse to use my new di resin water filter :ROFLMAO:
In other news, it has a date booked in very soon to see a man about some more horses. Hopefully the power gods will anlign and we will see a good figure this time🤞
All day long mate. No need for 24psi low down on stock turbo, basically flogging the nads off it. Current 21 psi ramping up in mid is much better.
Seen one the other day claiming 330hp on stock turbo :ROFLMAO:
Get it booked in mate. Cold start is great on this now, much smoother and no...
Updates.
Steady drive down to EfiParts for mapping on Sat. Quick catch up with Chris and the meg was straight on the dyno.
Strapped on and ready to go.
As i said in earlier posts, this had been mapped years ago by another tuner. Ive said previously that it did not really feel that...
Updates.
Done a few jobs last weekend ready for mapping on Sat at EfiParts. Oil and filter change, recirc blanking plate and regapped plugs to 0.6mm. No pics as was working fast and nearly cut the end of my finger off on a razor sharp edge on the inside of the aftermarket oil filter it had...
