123tom123tom Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 right the turbo kit comes tomorrow, getting rather excited now, I am going to go with the T61 tub in the long run, with 650cc drop in injectors. i have a oil filter relocator and cooler also coming and a transmission cooler. my next purchase that i will be saving up for is the uprated gear box. i have also purchased some heat wrap, is there any particular way i should apply, or is it just wrap it up....

123tom123tom Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 i am having a nightmare of a day fitting the oil drain , got it done now but there are two water pipes that get in the way that go to the auto box... any body else had this problem and if so what did you do to over come it.

123tom123tom Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 i have been waiting for bits here and there and still waiting for some bit now, ie intercooler/pipe work and 2nd decat..... but o just cant wait i need to start :) do i have to heat wrap the manifold or just the down pipe. I have heard that if you heat wrap the manifold it could put stress on it( it is XS remember) ps am going to need a mapper for the greddy emanage blue as well!!!!!!

Homer Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 After trying the EMB I absolutely recommend you rethink it as your choice on a single. At the very least you'll need an EMU, but ideally a full standalone. In the long run the standalone will be far more cost effective on a single, especially if you plan on taking things further, or refining the engine driveability. The EMB has no injector lag adjustment (amoungst other things) so for most aftermarket injectors it will simply not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123tom123tom Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 i am only going to use 650cc injectors and i have been told these will fit the stock rail with no resistor packs/direct replacement, i have been told as well as looking through this forum that the EMB will be sufficiant enough to cope with trimming 650's and running them fine. But again i am probably wrong? would it keep me going for a while a least well i save up for a stand alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 You're not having very good luck mate. I hope mine goes more smoothly. Haven't received any parts yet... Good luck with the rest of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I know i'm bucking the trend, and i'm sure the experts among you will critisise me for this, but I run 720cc injectors with a resistor pack on an EMB. works fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123tom123tom Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 got some more work done on the car today, i installed 3 tranmission coolers for the auto box along with a transmission oil filter, slight problem when i took the bumper off i realised that it had no ducting where the smic used to be. I think am going to fit a spal fan in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123tom123tom Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 front mount goes on this weekend, god its a big bugger. I have got a though though!!! i might have messed up slightly, i fitted 3 transmission coolers in to the space where the smic was, but now realise that the fmic pipework goes in front of where the air comes through to cool it. Kind of pointless them being there? any solutions come into mind from anybody, apart from shift them:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
