JustGav Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Well, We have finally gotten to the stage that I've had the first initial roll down the road, while the ecu mapping isn't perfect yet and the boost needs set, the car is running and pulling well... Since this has been a hell of a project, I feel it is only right to thank those people who have assisted in me in building this car from scratch, and this is in no particular order.... Liam Lovatt (Lovatt) - Sourcing the VVTi donor car Paul Kent (SlowDog) - Wrench work and taking the piss about not going manual, also doing the preinstallation servicing Graham Stevenson (Graham S) - Wrench work and the upcoming MOT Paul Evans (Paul E) - Stillen Nose, Tein Springs, CF bonnet, Hosekits, a lot of other things, turbo kit Garrett Grant (G Gleam - 01202577650 ) All the polishing work, alloy polishing, and engine bits Terry Saunders (Terry S) - Assisting with bits and pieces, fuel kits, PHR fuel rail Dusty Womack (V8 Killer) - eManage hardware and telling me I need to fit a clutch Ricky Thomas (Not on the board) - Doing a lot of the original stripping work and assembly stuff Colin (Toyota Basingstoke - 01256406500) - Getting me urgent parts over night from JAAAPPAAN) Mark (Not on the board, Miami-GT) - For all the welding work on the downpipe and exhaust build Gaz Walker (Envy) - GReddy TI exhaust Suprachick (Mel) - For putting up with all my late nights and crap during the build Ian C & Alex - Emanage maps and debugging G & R Hydralics (Basingstoke) - Fuel lines and adapters for the fuel kit Bruce Holt (FiveOmotorsport +1 562 3947128) - Injectors Jake - For the impromtu photos of wiring looms and other bits and pieces. I think this list is complete, but if I have forgotten anyone I will add it as I go.. Big shout out to all of those who have helped my dream car happen, especially Slow Dog and Graham S for their time... Specs are Red Aerotop VVTi Big Single T70 DBB with 50mm wastegate Torsen LSD Walbro PHR Fuel Rail 630cc injectors Tein Springs on yellow bilsteins CF Bonnet CF Facelift Dash Tiptronic gearbox Polished engine Polished alloys Stillen Nose UK lights Neons removed (ricky insisted) For those who didn't know, it was Dangerous Brain's car originally which was a N/A Aerotop Auto, non LSD Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I had the FSE put into the incorrect pipe, I had it on the feed and not the return hence the reason it was running lean *grin* Now I've got it at a stable 40psi, to be turned down to 32psi upon Terry S's comment..

Gav That was 40/32psi on Vacuum Gav, not static to clear it up for anyone, so you are setting int up to 40psi static now Chis what static was his map done at??

JustGav Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 You're a brave man to post that cock-up up I'm happy to put my hands up when I make a mistake, and I'm happy they are only small mistakes given the scale of the project... As I said a while back, not bad for an IT boy with a spanner... Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Well, I've just had to order another new part for car We were out for a test drive when we had to limp home... doing 20mph down the road and the bonnet flew up... Luckily no damage to the roof because the CF bonnet just folded.... smashed the windscreen to buggery tho.... Ah well... Graham S and I needed a new pair of pants when we got back..

JustGav Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Yeah, both of us are fine, little shaken... Windscreen is being replaced soon through insurance so that isn't too bad... After some advice, probably going back to a stock bonnet with TRD vents cut into it, as it appears that the stock bonnets are a lot stronger.
