Unfortunately no big updates at the mo, it's been temporarily on the back burner for a couple of months, hoping to have more done around the end of the month. I also plan to do some video stuff with it, dunno if that would be of interest to people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Interesting project this. I am sure we would all love to see a video, and how you think it performs/ drives. Will look out for updates, keep up the good work though. These things are never easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightdip Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 So we finally have an update! Pretty much everything done on the car (bar the brake servo assist) so we tried to get it started on Friday. Ran into a few hiccups and unfortunately still need a bit more time to get it started but I made a video wrapping up the back story of the car itself and documented our attempts at getting it firing if you want to check it out: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 You'll get there mate! Keep at it. Most NA owners have had this issue at some point. That blood ignition system hasn't aged well. Maybe check the earth's around the ignition components. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're pretty confident we know what to do to get it running, should be trying again on Friday so will post an update on here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightdip Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Ok so a bit more of an update. After the above video was filmed, Liam took the car to get MOT'd and noticed there was a hesitation in the throttle around 2-3K in the rev range. Not undrivable but certainly not something I want to live with. We think it COULD be down to the longer duration/higher lift cams affecting the cam timing which is coming from the now unused dizzy (as I've changed to Whiftbitz coilpacks). Has anyone else had this problem when uprating cams and moving to coilpacks? I've been on holiday recently so haven't been able to head back up to help diagnose, but think it's something we need help from the community! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Sounds like you need more revs there! Did it top out at 6100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean vernier pulleys? If so I do indeed but we've just set them to the middle for now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighnessV2 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 This is a great build, I'm in the process of doing something similar now. Although mine is much more slow going. How are you liking the efi setup? They are pretty much the only ones with anything to offer, I'm actually going to be using it on my 2jzge vvti which I have yet to see anyone do. If possible I'd like to pick your brain about a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will wait until he's had a good look himself and see what he comes back with. It's all very much over my head 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a real pig to make fit though, if you have a read through the thread you can see hopefully most of the issues we've run into.
