Guest 200sxray Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Then i had an issue with Boost creep, the wastegate wasnt flowing enough gasses so off came the turbo and out came the grinding stones... Before After and the turboless engine bay pic The turbo now holds a good steady 1bar all the way to 6k - - - Updated - - - Things were a tad loud so i popped a silenced Decat on and she has now been noise tested at 95DB at 4k Next thing on the list was to solve the slight fuel leak.... off came the Plenum and fuel rail to find the injector seals to be shot.. and a couple of the Pintles broken. 30pounds of seals and pintles later and she was back running fine so after all of that i decided to treat the car to the following.. * Aero Blades * Import front Number plate * Silvia front lightening Badge * Set of new Wheels 5spoke Bronze wheels. * Tien Super street Coilovers * DB Power 345mm Big Brake Kit * LED rear number plate lights ( most important) and a trip to Cadwell park for her first track day!! i need to get some clean upto date pics of the new modifications but i have some from the track And that now brings us bang up to date.. apart from a few choice things that i will grab some pictures of tomorrow thoughts and comments guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
