Resurrecting my thread back from the dead.. 2019 flew by with limited time free to work on the car.
However, I did manage to get the below done on the odd weekend (with help from some amazing mates!)
New Toyota dual-mass flywheel and Spec one clutch installed
V160 mated to the GTE lump and installed into the car
Custom IC set up fabbed and installed
Custom Downpipe fabbed and installed
Whifbitz 3" Exhaust
Custom rocker breather system
Relocated the PS pump res (used a different tank from an old build)
Cut up and changed the angle of the front-facing manifold
New Bosch DBW throttle body
DBW throttle pedal install
Toucan installed on the dash for Syvecs
Custom wiring loom made out of a GE loom for the Syvecs S6+ and Audi 1.8 coil packs
Walbro 450 fuel pump installed (new relay)
Wrapped the wheels in Yokohama Advan Neova Tyres
I now have the car running and have mapped it to gate pressure (7psi).. I'm in the process of giving it a good run down (found a minor leak on the turbo oil return line to the sump) to check for issues, once happy, I will be giving it the full beans hoping for 1.5bar. I'm already very happy with how she pulls and the engine/gearbox feels nice and strong.
expect more updates in the next few days, watch this space!
