You get that off TM recently?

yup just got it yesterday that a bad thing? lol

[Guest]

Nope allgood its feckin tidy and was a steal. Hard to find these days.

[Roo]

removed some vital parts

lol no springs

it\'s not going anywhere for a while so it may as well look mongrel while it sits

Also put the soft centre into the nardi (factory one off my gf8) for a look, trying to get the interior looking period correct and tidy, thoughts?

Run a beb on Friday night when tuning as some of you know. not the tuners fault at all! Engine was previously showing signs of it earlier in the week, Was luck to make it home that night Spent yesterday and today building a long block out of junk i had lying around and hoping to get to dyno day but will depend if its tuned or not, Im hoping to have it in and running by Tuesday night as i still have remove swap acc and install

Just finish installing heads tonight! it now looks like a engine finally

[Timmah]

Damn you work quick Hijacka!

I know you mention this new block has some Manly (or was it Mahle?) bit in it. What else is in there??

Nah not this one, I am building another one with that stuff but seeing im waiting on my heads to come back from hpe getting cnc\'d for 100mm bore it useless to me right now, This was actual a bit more bitchn because i had to hone the bores out and clean it all up etc where as the other one just need to be slapped together because all the machining and measuring has been done, This was a cdb i bought awhile ago for bugger all, very low kms so was lucky i can re use crank on standard bearings..

This engine has/ cdb, acl race bearings, phase2 rods, hf sti pistons, 11mm oil pump, genuine gaskets seals, reuse standard headstuds, Reuse old tensioners and waterpump that where 10,000 kms old(from another engine), V3 sti heads,

Not a big build by any means but will get it mobile again and help clean the garage floor at the same time

Whats the number on your map sensor? I know some one with a 4 bar plug and play one they would cut you a deal on. People have had the stock sti ones run 24 something psi.

Map sensor is standard sti 2.5 bar unit. Looking at going for a 3 bar or 4 bar gm unit, short weeks at work atm so $$$ a bit tighter. Stock they will run 24 happily on a maf tune, but it maxes the map sensor and it doesnt extrapolate the fueling, just pegs at its max value.

[legacy666]

Cleaned the red paint off my brakes

Liking the look so will probably paint grey

Oh and changed the plugs

[Guest]

Pm hijacka for the 4 bar.

Comes with brackets and everything.

Just went for a lunchtime cruise to see how the new boost gauge goes.

I like it. The peak functions cool, peaked at 17.8ish psi.

/quote]

Nice i like those gauges

Im actually quite impressed with it.

Read a few reviews which didn\'t sound to great but so far so good

WAAAAAAAY better than the shitty lamco

For sure! Got a pic?

The little touch pad is removable which is good. It\'s definetly growing on me

Thailand. I\'m going there in May too. Should have just got them then

[Koom]

Used it to fill my house with the smell of two year old 98 Ultimate

Then cursed at Past Koom who didn\'t leave enough clues for Future Koom to figure out what he was thinking with the wiring and why the second fuel pump doesn\'t get a "turn on" signal?

So I pulled half the dash out. Thought I was getting close to finishing at the front end of the car!

[Roo]

Old koom didn\'t write enough down

 Roo said:

He left a bunch of cryptic clues, note books, spreadsheets, tags on various wires, but none of it correlates and Present Koom is unsure of what chronicle order they should be used :\'(

Thinking that maybe, just maybe, I left it a little too long between starting the wiring and finishing it haha.

[Gator]

Those sectors really suit your car koom
