Terminator Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Well done Steve, you should be very proud of your work. Looks like there are quite a few of us, very close to getting back on the road with some pretty impressive specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_si Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 how much do you think you have saved doing it yourself instead of a garage doing it for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 how much do you think you have saved doing it yourself instead of a garage doing it for you? At a rough guess with the fitting of the Single kit, clutch, making/fitting of the fuel lines, fitting of gauges etc i reckon i have saved approximately £2000 in labour.

Not only that, its more satisfying knowing you`ve done it yourself and if there`s any problems you know where everything is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Not only that, its more satisfying knowing you`ve done it yourself and if there`s any problems you know where everything is. that is probably the biggest advantage of doing it yourself.

Steve Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Went down to SSR today for some mapping with Ryan. From memory we had 400bhp on the wastegate spring (0.6bar), so then we were increasing the boost, got to 1.0 bar ok, we tried for a 1.4bar pull, but the Tial Wastegate spring wasnt strong enough to hold the boost, so kept dropping off In the end we stopped at 550bhp, which is still very healthy Just need to get hold of a 1.0bar spring for the wastegate and go for a final setup/run. I just love the sound of it, its awesome Thanks Ryan for doing a great job with the mapping, the car is now so smooth to drive, will be good to see how much more we can get with the stronger spring in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Well done Steve, thats excellent news despite the WG issue (which lets face it, is an easy fix) Nice power figure too, can you post any graphs up? Most importantly of all, how is it on the road and does it live up to your expectations of power delivery and performance as it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
